Wayne Lusvardi: Feinstein Waves White Flag in Water War
http://www.calwatchdog.com/2012/03/11/feinstein-waves-white-flag-in-water-war/comment-page-1/#comment-17378
(Feinstein 101. Maybe we didn't booty-smooch enough for her, we certainly aren't able to make those dollar signs sparkle in them baby blues as they do in Beverly Hills, can we?)
On March 9. U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., signaled she would seek a deal rather than keep fighting H.R. 1837. That’s the San Joaquin River Valley Water Reliability Act sponsored by Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Clovis. HR 1837 would have repealed Feinstein’s three-year-old H.R. 146, the San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement Act of 2009. Forget the similar sounding titles to these opposing pieces of legislation.
Even Democrat Rep. Jason Altmire, who authored the amendment that broke the stalemate on the Omnibus Lands Act of 2009, voted for the Republic-sponsored H.R. 1837. Feinstein’s H.R. 146 passed in 2009 as a rider bill on the Omnibus Lands Act.Aquafornia.com

Jim Newton: Revisiting California's Water Debate
http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-newton-column-water-for-california-20120312-1,0,915789.column
Patterson and his boss, General Manager Jeffrey Kightlinger, laid out that scenario in a recent interview, surrounded by the history of this issue. We spoke in Kightlinger's office, its walls and tabletops covered with mementos of California's mind-boggling water system, much of it engineered by Brown's father, Gov. Pat Brown. As we spoke, Kightlinger offered water — tap water.(I wonder if they genuinely appreciated the 'delightful, crisp, clean under notes' of the American River, subtly enhanced with the 'earthy freshness' of the Georgianna, moved at 'high velocity boldness' of the Sacramento from their taps.)
And as for the governor? This project, as Kightlinger noted, began with "the father, and then the son, and now the son again." It's a chance to complete a bit of history.(Well I'm thinking more like "the sins of the father being visited and revisited upon the son" and we are the ones paying the price.)
