Save the Fish, Kill The Farmer
Comedian Paul Rodriguez eats the Delta Smelt
California State Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, recently penned this article about Paul Rodriguez and his plight of the California Latino Water Coalition.
“What has Rodriguez’ concerned to spark political action is the shutdown of water pumps in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. These pumps move water from California’s wet north to the agricultural Central Valley and urban Southern California. A judge’s ruling switched the pumps off over a controversial U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service report that declared a fish, the delta smelt, threatened. No one really knows if turning the pumps off will help the fish, but most can agree that California’s agricultural industry will take a big hit this year due to lack of water.”
