NEWSOM BLOCKED NEEDED WATER FROM REACHING LA TO PROTECT A 3-INCH FISH!

"The reason that Mr Newsom apparently refused is that diverting the water would have endangered delta smelt fish.

This three-inch silvery blue fish is native only to the delta region of the San Joaquin river. The problem is that the delta – a vast network of lakes and tributaries, which lies to the west of San Francisco, and is fed by that snow melt from mountains in California’s north east – is a major water source for Los Angeles further south."
