Now you can see our video of AquAlliance Troupers performing a live skit at a press conference on July 24, 2012 to illustrate their opposition Governor Jerry Brown’s proposed Peripheral Tunnels. The players represented “Gov. Brown” making a deal with “Westlands Desert Ag.” While blue cloth representing water was pushed into one end of the “tunnels,” the Westlands man pulled money from the other end. The “live cartoon” illustrated the folly of draining northstate waters to continue unsustainable agriculture in the most arid part of the south state – and, adding insult to injury, charging Californians tens of billions of dollars to do it.
