For more than a century, PG&E’s Potter Valley Project has funneled water from one Northern California river to another. Now, the century-old system has become the center of a political firestorm, cast by the Trump administration as a battle of “fish over people.” … [Local activist group] Mendo Matters and other locals will coordinate a town hall, with the goal to “defeat the efforts by PG & E, Jared Huffman and Gavin Newsom to take away an integral part of the water to save the ‘fish’ which will severely impact our domestic water, fire protection, destroy our agriculture and livelihood as well as possibly bankrupt the County of Mendocino.”
