Most reservoirs are currently doing okay/are releasing water to prevent overtopping. The main thing in the executive order is changing some water agencies allocations from 35% of what they requested to 75%. The regions still in heavy drought are still under restrictions and stuff aimed at groundwater recharge is still restricted.

Drought restrictions can be reinstated as necessary, but we don't need to live under emergency austerity when there's a good year and the reservoirs are full and more rain is on the way. Anyway, did you know that the state is actually pretty good about doing more with less? As population goes up, total water use has remained basically the same for like 70 years  But yeah we should be building more groundwater recharge and water recycling infrastructure, paying the true cost of eating beef and fossil fuels, show trials for celebrities with orchards

GhostofJohnMuir posted:my uneducated gut assumption is that water rights come from some dumb common law bullshit Much worse. Much much worse. See here. There are riparian rights (is your property smack dab on a river or lake), pre-1914 water rights, post-1914 water rights, and prescriptive rights which somehow modify the second two. None of these apply to ground water.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLxXqjdpnug https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-03-30/ridley-thomas-verdict-corruption-case "Of the 19 counts against Ridley-Thomas, jurors found him guilty of seven: conspiracy, bribery, honest services mail fraud and four counts of honest services wire fraud." "Ultimately, the foreperson said, the funneling of a $100,000 donation from Ridley-Thomas’ campaign committee through USC to a nonprofit led by the politician’s son persuaded jurors to convict. “It ended up being the $100,000 donation,” Kilpelainen said, explaining that it was clear Ridley-Thomas directed the movement of funds, and that the funneling of money came in advance of a summer 2018 vote by Ridley-Thomas to extend a contract with USC."

OH NO!!!!!1 https://www.latimes.com/california/...them-being-cops "Unless they are cleared by a Commission of Peace Officer Standards, or POST, investigation or succeed in an appeal, the officers accused of serious misconduct including sexual misconduct, fraud, excessive force and abuse on duty will not be able to work as sworn officers for any California police agency. This is an additional punishment to whatever actions prosecutors or their own departments take against them." "The legislation was enacted in 2021, and author state Sen. Steven Bradford (D-Gardena) said it was needed to prevent police officers who are fired or resign during misconduct investigations from moving to another police agency."

So what's happening with the San Jose police union lady that got caught dealing opioids? Any further investigation here, or is everyone in charge just agreeing that it was a single person doing this? https://www.mercurynews.com/2023/04...ight-questions/ quote:The union — as well as the San Jose Police Department and city officials — has condemned Segovia’s alleged actions but has said that “no other individual associated with the POA is involved, being investigated, or suspected by the authorities of knowing or participating in any way in this incident. quote:In its statement, the union said it has “cooperated fully with federal authorities in their investigation” and has “initiated its own internal investigation of this matter as required by its policies and law, which means we are not permitted to share those results publicly.” I'm sure they'll get to the bottom of this right away. quote:In April 2022, a fentanyl overdose claimed the life of a San Jose police officer — and across the country, officers have had run-ins with the drug, resulting in several hospitalizations, including that of a Sunnyvale police officer in 2019. For years, San Jose Police and other agencies supporting law enforcement have warned about fentanyl, advocating for tougher laws against dealers and warning about the exposure that officers in particular have to the drug. I had to look this one up as I've heard that fentanyl contact deaths are pretty much made up. This dude just ODed in his own house but you would not get that from the context in this article. Thanks, Mercury News!

lol yeah I'm sure that this lady who literally operated her smuggling ring from union HQ to the point that she used her work email and had a package with product that was detained briefly by customs released to the union HQ address acted totally alone, with nobody else even remotely involved or even any the wiser to what was going on. Just another unfortunate rotten apple making an otherwise good system look bad, smdh.
