Turn on that water!

[Patranus]

(Reuters) - California's drought-baked cities and farms will get considerably more water this year than last from federal officials, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said on Tuesday, making good on forecasts issued in February after a series of strong winter storms.

In other news two Democrats (Dennis Cardoza and Jim Costa) votes who were undecided are now in the yes column.

Guess where their districts are located........

Drain that swamp!

(We really need a health care sticky)

is it a bad sign when it's news that Democrats are voting for Democratic bills?

If you weren't such an ass about Democrats, you might not miss things like: there is a lot more water after winter storms!

Now that you know, think that might have influenced their vote?

And if you weren't such an idiot you would know that these reports and policy decisions have historically been made later.

Typically, Reclamation would release the March allocation update around March 22nd, but moved up the announcement at the urging of Senators Feinstein and Boxer, and Congressmen Costa and Cardoza.

Now why the urgency to move the historic deadline?

So, you are in favor of keeping people in the dark when they might benefit from earlier knowledge? You would keep them from having more time to plan for the upcoming season or take advantage of time sensitive opportunities during these hard times? Please explain how releasing the info early is a bad thing. You know, for us idiots.

I wonder what the price tag was for the kucinich vote which went from No to Yes after obama visited his district.

After the last fiasco - I am sure that the payolla amount was put in a lock box.

Damn them if they do, damn them if they don't. Much shorter to type and sums up (most/all) of your posts.

California should live on the water in california.

Probably plenty of water in South Dakota about now. It is like they have floods every year. Maybe you should divert some to the southwest or down to Pheonix.

The Mormons shore know how to manage their water around the Boise Idaho area. Maybe you should study that. Utah is mostly dry farming using irrigation.

Utah doesn't have 30 million people.

Yes, it's all a vast left wing conspiracy.

No one forced 30 million people to move to California. It is their problem. They can move.

This water problem of course is a regional problem It affects a lot more people than just California. All the states in that region are getting a lot of water from the colorado.

I would hate to see their water bill. They use an awful lot of electricity to divert all that water.

My point is there is plenty of water moving down through the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri river valleys out into the gulf of mexico.

Just divert some of the water.

Take a look at Lake Powell??

He only gets off when he's worked up some of that good old self-righteous outrage and indignation, got his panties in a knot.

We had a good amount of rain this year and I think it ended the drought. To bad as last year a lot of avocado trees were snipped down to the nubs to prepare for more drought conditions. I think they can come back in 3 years or so. I know the snow pack is normal this year and it is critical for us having water through the summer as it melts.
