Water Board Chooses New Delta Watermaster
“The Delta Watermaster is tasked with essentially harassing longstanding senior water right holders in the Delta whose rights go back in many cases 130 years,” said Carolee Krieger, executive director of the California Water Impact Network. “Corporate agribusiness interests with junior water rights are driving the recent Delta water legislation and the Water Master’s agenda with complaints that the Water Master must investigate.” Photo: On June 25, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger joined Secretary of Service and Volunteering Karen Baker and California Emergency Management Agency Secretary Matthew Bettenhausen to launch the first-in-the-nation "Disaster Corps." "The Disaster Corps will professionalize, standardize and coordinate highly trained disaster volunteers statewide," according to the Governor's Office. The following photo of a volunteer field demonstration was taken at the Los Angeles City Fire Training Facility in Los Angeles, California. Will this Disaster Corps be helping the victims of Schwarzenegger-engineered environmental disasters, including fishing and tribal communities devastated by his corrupt Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) Initiative and the collapse of Central Valley salmon, Delta smelt, longfin smelt, green sturgeon and southern resident killer whale populations?
