And no one questions the EPA for causing the situation...all to save some delta smelt...
If I recall correctly, there are still significant portions of the state capital that are not on water meters ... they just pay a flat rate no matter how much water they use. (You should hear the screaming every time a proposal is made to install water meters ... you’d think the residents were being forced to support Prop 8!)
Actually, that was caused by some geek in a black robe.
