By David Siers, Sacramento Bee

Gov. Jerry Brown said in an interview aired Sunday that California is not aggressive enough policing use of the state’s groundwater, promising stepped-up oversight in future years.

Brown’s remarks on NBC’s “Meet the Press” followed the release of a study tying climate change to the worsening effects of California’s drought.

Asked he if was “about to police agriculture more,” the Democratic governor said, “Well, I think that’s good advice, but of course I don’t rule by decree. I work through the Legislature. California now has groundwater management for the first time in its entire history, so we are much more aggressive. But as that scientist suggested, we’re not aggressive enough. And we will be stepping it up year by year.”

    To protect our north state water from crazies like Moonbeam from being sent south in huge new multi-billion dollar tunnels will take a new state. He is going to get really senile before he is gone and try to regulate everything into causing the few remaining tax payers and businesses to leave while leaving the borders open and creating a bankrupt welfare colony of Mexico. He and the liberals in the lower state are welcome to it.
