If people use native plants they do not need as much water. We do need to lower our use of water outdoors.

Glad the independent Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO) is using, as almost always, an 'eye of reason' to look at this plan. "Is the juice worth the squeeze", does not seem so when the North Coast / with no great (or any) cutback need is asked to cut back "by a quarter".

That area of the state is full of lower income residents. I like it when the LAO looks out after the interests of the poor!
