    What a complete and utter moron. He’s just wasting water to try and make some kind of political point.

    “I don’t know where this water is going, but this is the wrong time of year to be releasing water from these reservoirs. It’s vitally important that we fill our reservoirs in the rainy season so water is available for farms and cities later in the summer,” Gleick said.

    “This is going to hurt farmers,” Vink said. “This takes water out of their summer irrigation portfolio.”

    I guess we won’t need those migrant workers to pick crops if the farmers can’t grow them in the first place. What a stable genius.

      I think these moves are planned, calculated even.

      • California wants independence? Oops you have no water and agriculture anymore … your fault for voting democrat.
      • Testing the integrity of the system. Experts who speak up? Who will stop him? Checks and balances?
