Newsom didn’t even go to the water negotiations. He has never spoken about this issue before. States will have to dramatically cut THIS YEAR or face a systems collapse on the river

Earlier this month, the federal government released a range of alternatives outlining how it would manage the system if no deal is reached by Feb. 14. If that deadline passes without an agreement, the political and environmental situation across the basin may become as grim as the snowpack.

      That would require the feds to tear up the colorado water compact which gives California senior rights over the water. Idk how the supreme court would handle that one

      The compact must be abolished to kill the ghost of herbert hoover and stop farmers from destroying the southwest though
