Coalition viewpoint---This blog is a mish-mash of personal opinions,
falsehoods and recycled rhetoric. The State Water Board, in releasing its
staff report, did not identify water exports as the "real culprit"
for the current Delta conditions. Quite the opposite...the Board went to
great lengths to explain that the legislative directive for conducting the
report restricted the study to only look at water flows and no other
factors. The Board also stated that the report is non-binding. To
continually blame San Joaquin Valley farmers for the ills of the Delta is
irresponsible and damages effort to restore the Delta's environment and provide
a reliable water supply to farmers and 25 million Californians.
