The statement goes on to say that senior management at the California Department of Water Resources and the California Natural Resources Agency, gave Newsom "bad advice."
"They let too much of the water out of the system for industrial agriculture users — who only contribute 2 to 3 percent of the state's GDP. Our water resources and public trust resources like salmon fisheries have been squandered for almonds and other unsustainable crops," the statement said.
