A state meeting on California’s most controversial water project, attended via Zoom on Monday by dozens of officials and experts, was hijacked by a rogue broadcast of sexual images and audio of racist comments against Blacks and Jews. It was not funny. The State Water Resources Control Board, unable to stop its own webcast, lost control of the meeting. It was canceled. And key testimony is not scheduled to resume for at least six weeks. … At issue Monday was nothing less than the future of California’s statewide water delivery system at its geographic heart, the so-called Delta Tunnel.
