Since that was post Katrina, it did not take more than a microsecond to get it. Just as the Army Corps of Engineers failed New Orleans then, they and the state legislature is failing us now and will, inevitably be held accountable. The current legislation is about taking more water, not about preventing a Katrina style disaster in San Joaquin County.
