    Default `.....Californians to be heavily fined for long showers...

    Quote:
    "Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Gov. Jerry Brown (D-CA) said Californians will face heavy fines for taking long showers.

    Brown said, “This executive order is done under emergency power. It has the force of law. Very unusual. It’s requiring action and changes in behavior from the Oregon border all the way to the Mexican border. It affects lawns. It affects people’s — how long they stay in the shower. How businesses use water.”

    Brown said to enforce his order, “Each water district that actually delivers waters — water to homes and businesses, they carry it out. We have a state water board that overseas the relationships with the districts. Hundreds of them. If they don’t comply, people can be fined $500 a day. Districts can go to court to get a cease and desist order. The enforcement mechanism is powerful. In a drought of this magnitude, you have to change that behavior and you have to change it substantially.”

    Guest host host Martha Raddatz pointed out, “More water used for almond production than is used by all residents and businesses in San Francisco and Los Angeles combined.”

    Most of that state should consider a leaving and forming a state that's not run by idiots voted in to office by fools.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Default Southern California reportedly faces cut in water deliveries this summer

    More good news for California residents.

    Southern California's water wholesaler reportedly is planning to cut deliveries of imported water to 26 cities and districts in response to the state's ongoing drought.
    According to The Los Angeles Times, the rationing measure by the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) will take effect July 1 and was in the works before California Gov. Jerry Brown mandated a 25 percent cut in water use by the state's cities and towns last week.

    And so the water wars begin.
    It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison

    When did--"act responsibly"-- become a mindless anything?
    You just presented liberal thinking at its best and tis why they act so damn irresponsibly as they TOO see no reason to act responsibly.

    You act as if Kalifornification officials are not and have not to date acted irresponsibly!
    They should have been building saltwater desalination plants years ago on the coast--sea water everywhere and its free!
    Damn sure cheaper than experiencing what they are now and taking people's rights away.
