Opponents of Proposition One weren’t surprised the measure passed. Barbara Barrigan-Parilla with Restore the Delta says they were far outspent.
Maybe the people wanted more water resources?

I think the only thing we didn’t go out for was a plague of frogs.

The left is already blaming this on climate change. Climate change isn’t responsible for the incompetence of the one-party government of LA, California.
Please stay safe during this episode of climate change.
