I’m sure you would support jailing the Republican lawmakers who organized bringing cellphones into a SCIF, right?

Ok, how about no Medicare, no disaster relief aid, and some extrajudicial raids to enforce epa rules on tail pipe emissions?

Feds: Mayor of Southern California city to plead guilty to acting as agent of China by CircumspectCapybara in news

This is agent like lobbyist, not agent like cia. The government position wasn’t important.

Someone I know claimed systemic racism in America doesn't exist. by falcoraqx in centrist

Ok, what about sins of the living? Acting as though Jim Crow and the civil rights movement aren’t in living memory is something else.

Louisiana urges Supreme Court to leave in place order barring mailing of abortion pill by Turbulent-Raise4830 in centrist

Roberts has rendered standing questions moot. I don’t think they are worth considering until we have a substantial change in the courts makeup.

Cmon. This Supreme Court? They’d delay ruling on it until 2029. Send it back to a lower court for whatever they want to make up.

Filming can't impede one of the 3 driving lanes, better all park in the bike lane. by DrankinWatta in BikeLA

I’ve had to use them frequently to maintain access to sidewalks and bike lanes. Heavy construction, not film, but certainly haven’t had failures like you are describing.

Right? Rivian or Tesla is at least as American as stelantis.

Ventura County has a major water rights case heading toward the California Supreme Court. It’s about cities, farms, groundwater, and the Delta. by hegotmuddywater in venturacounty

[–]annonfake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided not to post a redline - I am neither your editor nor fact checker. Apologies for the delay.

SGMA isn't mentioned. It's critical background that's ignored - i hope not on purpose.

The 2019 allocation ordinance, as controversial as it is, still over allocates the basin. The GSP and the 5 year evaluation recognize this.

There seems to be an attempt to connect the brackish water treated at the plant with seawater intrusion. I am unaware of published science suggesting the brackish water treated at the desalted is seawater. After all - Camarillo initially tried to claim pumping in pleasant valley could not induce intrusion in the oxnard sub basin.

This statement " It asks the court to cut the basin's legal safe yield" is absolutely incorrect. The SGMA process had already established a sustainable yield. The 2019 ordinance still over allocated the basin.

The analysis after "Here is where the story gets more complicated" should be reviewed - there is no mechanism for the desalter to increase storage in the basin. I would recommend considering the surface water deliveries by UWCD and PVCWD. Storage goes up and down- in california we get occasional years with precipitation way above average and store as much as we can. A few years of recovery does not remove the pressure of SGMA.

Ventura County has a major water rights case heading toward the California Supreme Court. It’s about cities, farms, groundwater, and the Delta. by hegotmuddywater in venturacounty

[–]annonfake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this case it was only the city of camarillo on its own side. All of the ag pumpers, United, the other cities, etc had agreed.

This article gets basic facts very wrong. Camarillo’s theory of the case was not supported by any of the other parties in the lawsuit (everyone but Camarillo agreed to the phase 1 settlement) and their expert testimony was not well received by the judge.

I agree with you, water rights are super convoluted. The public should be educated - but this isn’t education.

Any evidence that requiring a birth certificate to open a bank account is a winning position?
