This problem has been a problem for so long that everyone now says it's not my fault, the last guy should have done something. The problem CAN be resolved and it involves making the water go away or introducing new, fresh water. Since the new, fresh water option is not a viable option the only option is to dry it out.

Now that the President has said it, is it OK to call this place an S-Hole? If so, let it have been said. CA and the Federal Government need to get together and put together a comprehensive plan to solve the serious issue that everyone would rather sweep under the rug.
I guess [soap box on] and [soap box off] would have been appropriate but anyone who has been in this area recently (the last 10 years) would agree that this is an untenable situation.
