Yes he did.
However, the prop page clearly outlines that the feds (FEMA or DOI) need to declare an emergency and since this is the 4th straight week of rain, I doubt that will happen.
What the governor did is simply piss off all the local and regional water boards and the farmers associated with those boards since his emergency declaration pulls all their authority to the state level.
In my opinion, with this move, the legislators will allocate the federal stimulus money to their pet projects (re: divert more water from Norcal to Socal) without needing approvals of the local or regional boards.
I would not be surprised if in the near future that some nut case will try to sabotage the major aqueducts that take water from Norcal to Socal since they travel through the areas that are most affected by this order.

By the way, I am from Roseville, CA (NE of Sacramento). And no it hasn't rained everyday for 4 weeks (but at least 3 days each week). It was one of the rainest Febs on record after one of the driest Jans on record. Snowpack is at 80% of normal after two sub 50% years. Most of the small reservoirs are filled with Shasta, Oroville and Folsom up 20 feet in the last four weeks (all are still under 50% of capacity). Still not good but not federal state of emergency bad. (Flooding, that is still a real possibility, especially if we get a levee break)

They jacked it up a stock can't close early short! they must meant to close it long. And this is why someone other that developers should have halt and payout control.

When life gives you to many Apple IPO's make Apple sauce, now where did I put that blender?

I agree completely with your first statement.
As to "someone other that developers should have halt and payout control" my first question will be: and why in the world it should be 'someone other' and not me in person? And any other participant can ask the same question as well. Why anybody would become this "someone other" and why not any other "someone other?"

Update!!!!! E-mail from Taylor says they know about the problem and will be closeing long ASAP.

Thanks for the update.

It should be all fixed for most now, but if not just hang in there cause they are working on it. I spoke with Taylor, and she said to tell everyone not to worry, that it is closing LONG
