Executive Order Denying WWD Petition
http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/waterrights/water_issues/programs/applications/transfers_tu_orders/docs/17512ltt100216_execorder_final.doc.pdf
(Nice to see they don't always get what their tantrums demand.  However, this is not a complete denial of the original petition.  Good job CWIN, CSFA and AquaAlliance in your original 'protest' in this process!)

(When I lived in midtown, the people rifling through the recycle bins weren't checking for garbage, they were looking for $$$, anything they could take to the recycle center.  The homeless in midtown raid the garbage cans for food.  Cleanest damn things I'd ever seen.)

(Oh WWD believes in market pricing, after they've acquired their subsidized water...the retail price per acre foot will exponentially increase when they start supplying water to 'higher economic values' like Tejon Ranch, Irvine Ranch, Newhall Park, Saltworks, just to name four.)
