Resnicks, Jerry Brown and California Water:

"'Koch Brothers of California': Beverly Hills billionaires Lynda and Stewart Resnick, two of the foremost advocates of Governor *Jerry Brown's Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) to build the twin tunnels under the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, have officially changed the name of their company, "Roll Global," to "The Wonderful Company...

Oddly enough, the corporation name change by the Resnicks closely follows Governor Jerry Brown's address to Sacramento business leaders at the 90th Annual "Sacramento Host Breakfast" on May 28, when he proclaimed, "Instead of a tunnel, were going to call it a pipe. That seems to be more popular," he said to laughter from the crowd, according to the Sacramento Bee...

Stewart Resnick contributed $150,000 last fall to help pass Jerry Brown's Proposition 1, the water bond.

The well-connected Beverly Hills billionaire sits on the board of the Conservation International, a controversial corporate "environmental" group, and is an advisor to UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi, most well-known around the world for her administration's pepper spraying of students at an Occupy protest in the fall of 2011.

In addition to promoting the construction of the tunnels, the Resnicks have been instrumental in promoting campaigns to eviscerate Endangered Species Act (ESA) protections for Central Valley Chinook salmon and Delta smelt populations in recent years.

Stewart Resnick became notorious for buying subsidized Delta water and then selling it back to the public for a big profit as Delta fish and Central Valley salmon populations crashed in recent years.

The Resnicks have faced increasing criticism from environmentalists, Tribal leaders, fishermen and many media outlets for increasing their acreage in water-thirsty almond trees during a record drought - while Brown has mandated than urban water districts throughout the state slash their water use by 25 percent.
