NEW: One billionaire couple owns almost all the water in California. In a series of secret meetings in 1994, the Resnicks seized control of California’s public water supply. Now they’ve built a business empire by selling it back to working people.
@MorePerfectUS California needs a new statewide water plan including desalination projects in all coastal counties.
@MorePerfectUS Another parallel, under the radar fact. John Malone, CNN's new Oligarch overseer, is the largest private landowner in the country w/more than 2,2000,00 Acres. Two million, two hundred thousand!
@MorePerfectUS @americnhumanist If the government can take granny’s house by eminent domain (for developers,) surely water rights can be recaptured by the same principal, but for the public good. This is a regulation problem.
@MorePerfectUS California’s annual budget is $160 billion. With those money California can build a few nuclear powered desalination plants and pipelines to give Californians an abundance of water. Yet the state doesn’t do that. Instead activist groups focus on red herrings like this.

@MorePerfectUS They need to be [redacted].
