This chap Chris Mathys puts out an idea - officially declare the Delta smelt extinct and move on!

As so frequently happens in California, a state that’s prone to cyclical droughts, California is suffering from a severe drought. Chris Mathys, who’s gearing up to run for the House of Representatives in Fresno, which is a major city in California’s Central Valley, has an idea: It’s time to declare the Delta smelt extinct and get the federal government to stop forcing massive amounts of Sierra run-off into the ocean.

If I remember correctly Delta Smelt are not even native to California...

Not certain, but some of that money went to the Mono Lake area to slowly raise the water level there.  It did work, but have not been back there or checked for years, so maybe the money also dried up.

That's about $200 for every man, woman and child in the state...

The mostly like thing that happened was it made the connected more wealthy while making everyone else poorer with nothing to show for it.

Since the Klamath watershed is mostly in Oregon, the Prop 1 slush fund is marginally relevant to this. The delta smelt, living or extinct, are also irrelevant, since the delta is hundreds of miles from the Klamath watershed.

The question has evolved from OR-CA border to all of CA water troubles.

Oregon and California both have RATS as their governors.  It was already fixed by POTUS TRUMP... But you know how busy biden has been, reversing all the good work done for Americans by POTUS TRUMP.
