California’s Green Drought
The Wall Street Journal | April 5, 2015 | WSJ editors

Posted on 04/06/2015 12:04:54 PM PDT by fifedom

The liberals who run California have long purported that their green policies are a free (organic) lunch, but the bills are coming due. Lo, Governor Jerry Brown has mandated a 25% statewide reduction in water use. Consider this rationing a surcharge for decades of environmental excess.

There are many good people in CA, including two of my best friends. North of the gay area is a different world of decent people.

You present no data and no argument. Stick it.

California is a good example of what happens when simple majority rules are used for elections. The politicians here state and federal know that they only have to keep the San Francisco and Los Angeles area happy and don’t bother with the rest of the state. Every presidential election the cities are surrounded by Republican won county’s, but our electoral votes always go to the Democrat party, because the population of the cities completely overwhelm any of the countryside votes

You don’t suppose this drought will give Californians second thoughts about their willingness to share a dwindling resource with millions of Mexican illegals?
