Sacramento and Washington Choose Minnows over People..

Central California's San Joaquin Valley; oft' referred to as 'The Breadbasket of the World', has been drying up thanks to a new interpretation by the Obama Administration regarding water reclamation.

Long story short; a delta built for irrigating the valley's rich soil has been now completely confiscated by environmentally concerned politicians so that water from the delta can run out to the sea. The decision this year to stop the pumps because of a mild drought is largely based on new findings that claim Orca whales eventually benefit from the Delta Smelt Minnow that populate the irrigation water in the delta.

It would be hard to imagine a worse time for CA to pursue a policy that kills thousands of jobs and cripples a significant portion of the valley that is responsible for a whopping 25% of the nations Ag production.
