$ Makes the Rules

All my life I've heard about the Boswells, the mega-ranchers who own and farm the "West Side" of the San Joaquin Valley. Well, this is their story. From the obliteration of Tulare Lake, massaging public policy to enable excessive land acquisition, to modifying the lifeblood of the state, water, for maximum personal use, it's apparent that with enough cash, the law and those who make the it, are up for grabs. There was some interesting farming wizardry, but by and large, it's a tale of power, greed, and ruthlessness. I guess I shouldn't have expected anything else.
