OPINION: Don’t Cave To Big Ag; Veto Wasteful Water Rights Bill

Few things are as important to California’s 39.5 million residents as the quality and allocation of the state’s water. Assemblyman Adam Gray, D-Merced, wants to hand over more power in that arena to Big Ag by changing how water rights cases are enforced. Gov. Jerry Brown should veto Gray’s AB 313 and keep those issues where they belong — in the hands of the State Water Resources Control Board.
