California Flood Protection Starts Giving Rivers More Room
California is moving toward a flood-control strategy that aims to give raging rivers more room to spread out.
By ELLEN KNICKMEYER, Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — After more than a century of building levees higher to hold back its rivers, California took another step Friday toward a flood-control policy that aims to give raging rivers more room to spread out instead.
The plan, adopted by the flood-control board for the Central Valley, a 500-mile swathe from Mount Shasta to Bakersfield that includes the state's two largest rivers and the United States' richest agricultural region, emphasizes flood plains, wetlands and river bypasses as well as levees.
Backers say the changing strategy will better handle the rising seas and heavier rain of climate change, which is projected to send two-thirds more water thundering down the Central Valley's San Joaquin River at times of flooding.
The idea: "Spread it out, slow it down, sink it in, give the river more room," said Kris Tjernell, special assistant for water policy at California's Natural Resources Agency.
Handled right, the effort will allow farmers and wildlife — including native species harmed by the decades of concrete-heavy flood-control projects — to make maximum use of the rivers and adjoining lands as well, supporters say.
They point to Northern California's Yolo Bypass, which this winter again protected California's capital, Sacramento, from near-record rains. Wetlands and flood plains in the area allow rice farmers, migratory birds and baby salmon all to thrive there.
For farmers, the plan offers help moving to crops more suitable to seasonally flooded lands along rivers, as well as payments for lending land to flood control and habitat support.
Farmers, environmental leaders and sporting and fishing groups joined in praising the plan Friday, a rarity in California's fierce water politics. "Savor the moment," Justin Fredrickson of the California Farm Bureau joked to the flood board.

It was completely predictable. Makes our Joe happy along with all his minions. Only makes those that care about our Constitution and separation of powers cringe. People Pussy Grabber finds annoying.
William Jefferson Clinton was found in contempt of court for willful failure to obey a judges orders.....he was President at the time.
Andy Dukes
PREMIER
Was that criminal contempt? Did he end up taking that deposition or not? Joe, willfully and continued to defy a court order.
You are becoming the queen of false equivalency.
Arpaio's pardon only covers his contempt conviction. This would be a good opportunity to bring charges for hiss other crimes.

Isn't the Constitution the thing that gives him the power? You can't pick and choose tutu.

That was from the Justice Dept of a president with questionable citizenship so that kangaroo court order didn't count.
That was a made up charge and you know it.
Had the tables been reversed and you were in his shoes, you'd scream to high heaven.

He was well within his powers to do it. I never said otherwise. It was still a slap in the face of justice.

NRA’S MESSAGE TO LIBERAL ELITISTS: ‘WE’RE COMING FOR YOU’

You are the queen of excuses for liars, pinheads & haters. Great group of stooges you defend.
You maybe right regarding false equivalency...
The ruling against the sitting President was much more important than the contempt charges against a county sheriff....
Washington Post
In a biting, 32-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright of Arkansas said Clinton gave "false, misleading and evasive answers that were designed to obstruct the judicial process" in Jones's sexual harassment lawsuit. She specifically cited Clinton's assertions that he was never alone with Lewinsky and that he did not have a sexual relationship with the former White House intern.
Wright, who personally presided over Clinton's January 1998 deposition in the Jones case, acknowledged that no court had ever taken such action against a president but said it was important to act to "protect the integrity" of the judicial process.
"Sanctions must be imposed, not only to redress the president's misconduct, but to deter others who might themselves consider emulating the president of the United States by engaging in misconduct that undermines the integrity of the judicial system," she wrote.
"It's the first time in this whole case that he's been held accountable -- and it's a legal ruling, not a political decision," said John W. Whitehead, president of the Virginia-based Rutherford Institute, which helped finance the Jones lawsuit. "It was an important test of whether we're going to have a rule of law. It was an important ruling."
Wright had the option to order more severe penalties under her civil contempt authority and had the power to summarily find Clinton guilty of criminal contempt.
