Some claim that the California government has been too lenient with water use restrictions placed on large agri-businesses due to effective lobbying efforts of agricultural companies, although improving regulatory policy of agri-business may not really fix all that much when it comes to the drought. The video below, though, does make an interesting point that Congressmen and Senators statewide are often promised future lobbing jobs while they are in office (and about half of them take these jobs and receive a huge pay-raise), which has a significant impact on how special interest groups affect policies and laws throughout the country.
