California's San Joaquin Valley Farmers May Get Water. House Approves Water Rights Bill.

  • Thousands of agriculture workers out of work for a 3 inch fish.
  • Locals use the minnow for bait.
  • Will the Senate pass it?
  • Finally some one from Congress see's the light.
  • Nut trees and orchards may not recover from irrigation rights withheld.
Here is an excerpt from the report.
The sponsor of the bill, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), said the ESA regulations took water away from farms, which forced the region to import food even though it's known as a significant agricultural producing area. Nunes showed a picture of people in food lines, eating imported food.
"They used to grow the nation's carrots," he said, pointing to pictures. "We now import carrots from China to feed the people in the food lines."
So sad and disgusting.  California, once the agriculture exporter to the world.
