For those saying we should desalinate the ocean, the cost is roughly $1/day for each person if we do that. So a household of 4, your water bill would be roughly $120 (on the low side) if we were to do that. Compare that to 10-20 cents to use fresh water and you see why it doesn't make much sense versus alternative sources. At least if we build aquaducts from other parts of the country we can import any amount of water for the same price. With desalinization, we have to pay everytime we need to use that water.

Who is gonna pay for this?
i wash my car 2 times a week
shower with hot water for 20 minutes EVERYDAY
water my lawn everyday
brush my teeth with the water running (sonic care = 5 minutes )
run hot water for 15 minutes in my kitchen sink to clean out the oils in my drain everyday
dish washer everyday
WATER WILL NEVER EVER RUN OUT IN CALIFORNIA. STOP WITH THIS SCARE TACTIC MYTH
if water is really going to run out they can filter out the ocean water but government won't fund until they have to...
if anything i see this as a way to tax water in California to get more money out of this expensive state
Same place we get all of our other money.

Dudes in Cali are going to have to resort to drinking their own poop juice for a glass of water.
^^^^ On the bright side, dem Cali thots won't need to fly to all the way to Dubai to have dookie dropped on their chest anymore
Uhh.. that last one is probably the most honest out of anything other than the typical "raising taxes" BS they try all the time.Same place we get all of our other money.

California & austerity are oxymorons. Show me a study where California hasn't been towards the bottom in fiscal responsibility. The answer from the legislature is ALWAYS to raise taxes on something. Almost never will you hear that something needs to be cut. After all, it's not their money.Uhh.. that last one is probably the most honest out of anything other than the typical "raising taxes" BS they try all the time.For those saying we should desalinate the ocean, the cost is roughly $1/day for each person if we do that.

When a government wants to start a new expensive program, the reasonable and responsible thing is to raise taxes.
You basically want your problem solved for free.
-PS: Didn't Jerry Brown save the damb state with those tax increases. A state whose economic situation Mitt Romney was comparing to Greece.

And the purpose of those "temporary" taxes were to pay for the teacher pensions that were promised under Gray Davis during the dot com boom that are still horribly underfunded. And guess what... they're working to make them permanent like every other temporary tax that's been passed

Almonds.. Takes 4 liters of water to make 1 almond.. Almond orchards consume about 10% of the state of cali's water consumption each year...
Funny i just read this yesterday when i googled why are almonds so expensive..
As a temporary program (which is WON'T be).-Wait, wait, wait......................Weren't the last round of tax increases, up to the voters doe?[

They had the choice of more cuts (nice that you ignored Arnold's budget crisis, I see you playa) or tax increases
And they picked in the increases.

TBH, I was suprised voters passed Prop 30 vs. Prop 38 that would only tax the 1%. Then again, the same clowns get voted in round robin for every state position, so I'm not suprised. San Francisco runs the state. (literally)
No, I'm suprised they actually voted to raise the taxes on themselves INSTEAD of someone else.As a temporary program (which is WON'T be).[

You're surprised people voted to raise the taxes on someone else as opposed to themselves
How is that much different than you suggesting a solution, but wanting them to pay with it cutting it from other sources, as opposed to you chipping in on the program with higher taxes on yourself too.
