A year later and still worth a read...

Big Ag sells to Big Urban -- Westlands arranged a swap deal with MWD of SoCal. Did the deal happen (I can't find any news on it)? If so, was it a good deal for both sides?

Bias at California's DWR -- government employees continue to choose censor the "news" people read via their clipping service.

Calculus of Consent -- The Review -- read this to understand the difference between a law and constitution (Congress didn't).

And now what? The UN says water is a human right. Any progress since?

Federal flood insurance sucks. Congress could end the program to save money and stop subsidizing silly behavior, but I am not holding my breath.
