Trump’s November victory forced a water agreement victory in California, before he was sworn in. The farmers won and the Delta trashfish and evirowhackos lost.
How Trump forced California water deal without lifting a finger!
California’s politicians and pundits — including this one — have been busily speculating on what effect a Donald Trump presidency could have on a state that rejected him overwhelmingly.
Well, we saw the first major impact recently, without Trump even lifting a finger.
A compromise bill that, in effect, reallocates federally controlled water in California — much to the delight of farmers and the dismay of environmentalists — won final congressional approval Dec. 9.
Hammered out by Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Bakersfield’s Kevin McCarthy, the Republican leader of the House, it broke a half-decade-long political logjam over the issue, and there is little doubt that uncertainty over Trump’s attitude was its driving force.

We’re still dealing with water insanity.
The CA legislature hates reservoirs.
