We are predominately conservative in eastern WA but either way, you don't get to mess with Columbia River water due to it's being a salmon habitat. Even homeowners on the river with existing docks get hassled constantly by Army Corpse of Engineers. No way will even ten buckets be headed south.
CA going to have to take the water steve.
There is 12.2 million thirsty illegals down the road who need it. If any of your Salmon get sucked into the pipe, they’ll be making salmon fish tacos out of them. They’ll make a deal, everyone in WA will get $1. off coupons to Cootie Land.
