OPINION: Tell The State It Needs A Better Plan To Share Our Water

The state of California knows its plans to send more water down our rivers into the Delta will cause a lot of pain. In the words of the board’s latest blueprint, it’s “unavoidable.” That’s all: Unavoidable. The state produced a 3,100-page document describing a plan to save salmon – available in virtually every fish restaurant in America and anything but endangered. In all those pages, not a word about mitigating human pain, or easing the economic catastrophe the state is about to wreak. It’s unavoidable. It’s also unacceptable.
