Gavin Newsom’s Water Czar Calls It Quits After 10 Years, Claims Newsom Is Not Interested in Solutions

By Jennifer Oliver O’Connell | RedState, Jul 29, 2022:

It appears that the “Climate Change Mitigation Strategist” on the California State Water Resources Control Board has stepped down, making a splash with a resignation letter that blames Governor Gavin Newsom and his administration, as well as his own colleagues, for California’s inability to manage its climate crisis.

What that has to do with water is a mystery yet to be solved.

From The Los Angeles Times:

In his time at the California State Water Resources Control Board, Max Gomberg has witnessed the state grapple with two devastating droughts and the accelerating effects of climate change.

Now, after 10 years of recommending strategies for making California more water resilient, the board’s climate and conservation manager is calling it quits. The reason: He no longer believes Gov. Gavin Newsom and his administration are willing to pursue the sorts of transformational changes necessary in an age of growing aridification.

In a resignation note posted online this month, Gomberg accused the governor of siding with defenders of the status quo and also faulted those in his agency who failed to push back.

“Witnessing the agency’s ability to tackle big challenges nearly eviscerated by this Administration has been gut wrenching,” Gomberg wrote. “The way some of you have simply rolled over and accepted this has also been difficult to watch.”

Here are some excerpts from Gomberg’s letter. It’s quite the read:

I am sharing my parting thoughts because I believe in facing hard truths and difficult decisions. These are dark and uncertain times, both because fascists are regaining power and because climate change is rapidly decreasing the habitability of many places.

If “Climate Change” is a euphemism for Progressive leadership, then, Yeah. The growing inhabitability of the state has everything to do with 20 years of progressives running the state into the ground and ignoring what matters to the citizens of the state. Ensuring that water continues to flow for urban, rural, and farm dwellers, and that we find ways to store and replenish it, is of extreme concern. But decade after decade, it has gotten short shrift in the name of climate change.

If that makes us fascists, so be it.
