Michael Korte and wife Laura Whitney from Glendora, CA face $500 in fines and even criminal action if they don’t turn their brown lawn green again, which died because they were trying to comply with California water regulations.
Don’t you just love the government’s ability to coordinate their activities?
On Tuesday — when the couple received the letter — state regulators authorized fines up to $500 for overwatering lawns.‘Despite the water conservation efforts, we wish to remind you that limited watering is still required to keep landscaping looking healthy and green,’ the letter stated.
It included pictures of the dead lawn with a red line through it, a weedy line similarly crossed out, and finally an uncrossed green lawn with a sprinkler.
‘It is telling me I’d better get my lawn green and I have 60 days to do it,’ Laura said.Ironically, on the same day the couple received the letter the State Water Resources Control Board gave local agencies power to fine for overwatering lawns to help reduce water consumption as the state is in the third year of record low rainfall.
Should the couple wish to improve their lawn they’ll likely have to water it every day.
‘It seems like you’ll be fined if you overwater but we will be fined no matter what,’ Laura said.

Well, its Kalifornia. You don’t expect rational decisions there do you?
The logic solution is to transfer Palestinians-except for Hamas terrorists- from current Gaza, which has borders with Egypt, and is separated from the rest of Palestinian lands; the West Bank, by Israeli lands, to a land near to the West Bank, so that Palestine becomes one country, under one legal Palestinian authority, ruled by Palestinian President; Abu Mazen, and also Israel becomes one country, with all its borders with Egyptian Sinai, as ruled by peace agreement. Then Jerusalem can be put under international supervision. Israel shall have the responsibility to arrest Hamas leaders, withdraw their weapons, fight terrorists in Gaza, and to protect Sinai borders, and Egypt shall have the responsibility, to fight terrorists in Sinai, and to protect Israeli borders with Egypt. But Israel wants to push Hamas terrorists and jihadists from Gaza, to occupy Sinai, to declare Islamic Caliphate, so that US-NATO-Israel can make war on terrorism, to re-occupy Sinai, divide the region, and declare the New Middle east, the New World Order and the Great Israel. Israel wants to divide Palestine and Egypt and to continue to destabilize Egypt, through terrorists and jihadists in Gaza, Libya and Sudan. Qatar and Turkey, who have no borders with Egypt, Gaza or Israel and support terrorist Muslim Brothers are pressing to move terrorists from Gaza to occupy Sinai, and to capture Egyptian Rafah Bridge, between Gaza and Sinai, to promote mafia activities, free Morsi and declare Islamic Caliphate there!Hamas should be declared as terrorists, who have no rights to negotiate and should be arrested immediately and stop making conditions to blackmail Egypt, to capture Rafah Bridge or to force to free Hamas and Muslim Brother terrorists from Egyptian prisons and Palestinians should vote for this deal!
