Last week the Attorney General Kamela Harris, also not one to abide by the laws or Constitution, declared that the confused governors’ call for ending senior water rights was only “voluntary”, not mandated. That has not stopped the confused Guv Brown to take water rights from San Fran and many others—in hopes that by the time the lawsuits are heard, he is out of office.

“The new curtailments impact just 11 water rights holders, but they’re one more sign of how serious the drought has become. Earlier this month, the State Water Resources Control Board announced curtailments for “senior” rights holders for just the second time ever, warning that further cutbacks were on the horizon. Friday’s announcement followed through on that warning.

“Barring a miracle, we’re going to continue to see curtailment orders issued throughout the summer,” Peter Gleick, president of the Oakland-based Pacific Institute, told The Desert Sun earlier this month.

The governor refuses to stop water flowing into the ocean, he refuses to waive environmental laws so desalinization plants can be built and he continues to refuse to spend water bond money, some dating back to 2006 and so far unallocated, to build water storage facilities. Stop the corruption from the governors office, stop the fines and punishment—Jerry Brown could end the lack of water—IF he wanted to do that. Obviously he does not.
