Yes, we should trade our natural resources to divert water to socal farmers. The “water restoration plan” Trump’s been spewing about was going to sabotage the fisheries to benefit farmers. Newsom instead was trying to find a solution to benefit both systems, and here you are slandering him. Btw, it’s not just smelt, but endangered species of salmon that has been in decline for years. Had Biden and Newsom not reversed Trump’s plan, then the California fisheries would be in TERRIBLE shape right now.
