Mr. Thompson if that freshwater doesnt run through and to the ocean the saltwater runs back in. I have two major cities in my district that relies on that for the source of water. If this bill passes, their water supply is in jeopardy. You cant drink salts water. It just doesnt work. California is in the middle of an extreme drought. Its not due to a lack of pumping. Its not because our states water regulations and its not because were putting fish ahead of farms and people. Its because theres no rain and theres no snow.

The state of california wont support this bill because it ignores 20 years of established science and undermines our extensive efforts to implement equal measures to address longstanding water shortages. Weve been down this road before in cali

Been completely unhelpful. In may of this year the Enforcement Bureau says they intend that the broadband providers should enemploy Privacy Protections. What does that mean . I have no idea. I sp prks isps have no idea. I have no idea. I would rather have let the experts who have protected consumers handle this issue based on law that you have given them. They have the expertise to handle these issues, correct . Expertise and legal authority, yes. The chairman talked another issue about privacy and edge providers. Chairman wheeler the Consumer Interest Group filed a petition to ask you to oppose a Consumer Privacy protections. When are we going to see your response . Do you believe providers should have a different standard of protection than isps . Thank you very much. The commission has for decades been enforcing privacy on the telecommunications carriers.
