Last I recalled, California has some of the highest taxes in the U.S and has the highest Gross State product. So, where's the money going? I guess everyone is so busy working their faces off that they don't have time to ask such important questions. O'well, no Desalinization plants for you.

California Tax revenue : $115,089,654,000 (115 billion). I think this issues can get a hellavuh lot worse than it is right now before any serious action is taken. When I start seeing billion dollar steps being made to address the issue, that's when I'll consider that they take it seriously.
