Very truthfully article. It's a false narrative that getting rid of water storage will save the river...it won't...it will devastate it...and devastate the Russian river for sure. Especially if we get a few years of drought again, which we will. It's very strange & disturbing PG&E isn't using profits to upgrade their unique and hydropower project?? And keep charging customers more. How do they get away with that type of walk away? Like the disastrous mine companys. Just leave their neglect for others to deal with.

I live just inland in Scotts Valley. To me, the most beautiful place on the planet. Good water, soil, grazing land...we don't need no fucking legislators

Thanks for putting this all down so clearly, Steve, and thanks for getting the word out, Keely. We are working on getting the folks downriver to see what is about to happen. If redistricting stands, then Huffman won't be our representative here anymore...but he will need the folks in Marin and Sonoma know the stance he has taken on this issue. A very dubious benefit, a lot of cash to the Round Valley Tribe, and a great deal of harm to his constituents. It doesn't seem like a real good move for a politician. Sounds like he's fixing to run for governor as a heroic environmentalist. We need to make him understand that fish don't vote. People do, and when the downriver people where his position has helped to put them in, they wn't be voting for him.
