[GPSCC-chat] CA Delta massive fish kill is a political problem.

[Wes Rolley]

I want to pass on information about CA Water and the current 
environmental catastrophe that is happening in the Delta.  There are 3 
things to read, and I hope that you take the time to follow each link 
and read them all.  Together, they tell a story you are not likely to 
get on KNBC or any other local news... which is where the story should 
be told.  If I patched them all together in one note, they would be too 
large to get through the list.

First, pay attention to this post by Dan Bacher, progressive activist 
and the editor of the fishsniffer magazine.  Dan lays out the story 
behind the massive fish kill that is now taking place.

Delta pumps kill 4.4 million splittail, 3600 salmon in one week

The second item to read is a column commenting on this situation written 
by Mike Fitzgerald, the metro columnist for the Stockton Record.  He 
does not normally write about environmental issues, but when he does, he 
invariably hits the target.

Delta fish slaughter a tragedy

The final item is a press release from Restore the Delta.  It outline 
just how devious a Congress Critter can be... don't be surprised that 
Fitzgerald has already commented on Devin Nunez.
