Wow, one for the people.
And the judge, here in CA, agreed.
May wonders never cease.

How about a blow to the delta smelt and a few other hoaxes designed to limit agriculture.

This is a lot of state & local government abuses coming home to roost. It does mean big trouble for pricing of municipal water supplies.

I wonder how much California water is sitting in warehouses and retail outlets across the state and country?

As I understand this, Proposition 218 was put on the ballot in 1996 by the Howard Jarvis organization because the politicians wanted to get around Proposition 13. Proposition 13 limited taxation and the yearly rate of increases to property. Apparently the politicians saw water rates as a way to raise revenue in lieu of the limits on property tax increases. So, the Howard Jarvis Organization put Proposition 218 on the ballot to limit the money Government can receive from supplying water to the actual costs of providing the service. Brilliant!
Proposition 218 came to the rescue of Proposition 13.

Tiered rates:
1. First thimbleful is free
2. 1,000th gallon in a month costs the same as inkjet ink.
3. Gallon 10,000 costs the same as scorpion venom.

I was talking to a liberal neighbor of mine who knows I’m conservative, and we both agreed that runoff and sewage should be recycled instead of just treating it preliminarily and pumping it out to sea.
The technologies are already in place for this. With some rerouting of drainage systems it seems very doable despite the “ich” factor which appears to be the main political obstacle.

California is next to the pacific ocean. They have no excuse for a water shortage.
