I want to thank the now-former climate and conservation manager at the State Water Resources Control Board who last month quit his job, then widely distributed an email telling many of his co-workers what he truly thinks of them. He gave us the clearest proof yet that the water board is exactly what I and many others have accused it of being — loaded with activist staff who routinely undermine their own board members by presenting selective, misleading, or just inaccurate information and calling it fact... 

A couple of years ago, this same angry staffer tweeted that my friend Melissa Hurtado, a state senator from Sanger, was a member of the “agricultural mafia” because she dared stand up for farmers and farmworkers. I wonder what he thinks of Sen. Hurtado’s bill that would have dissolved the water board outright?
