--- Quote ---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.

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.
