Welcome to the Internet. Please note that the California governor did NOT issue a new edict on long showers. He DID issue an executive order declaring a state of emergency, Executive Order B-29-15.
http://gov.ca.gov/docs/4.1.15_Executive_Order.pdf
It's not nearly as fun or exciting to be outraged about as the BreitBart Report, though.
It's an emergency order under Sections 8567 and 8571 of the California Government Code to bypass the normal (very slow) procedures of various state agencies and telling them to Get On With It in implementing the cutbacks ordered last year.
The governor has previously directed the State Water Resources Control Board to implement mandatory water reductions in cities and towns across California to reduce water usage by 25 percent compared to calendar year 2013.
In the link's video, at about 27 sec mark, Governor Moonbeam in his own words says it effects how long people stay in their shower....... directive has force of law...... at around 51 sec says people can be fined five hundred dollars a day..... Maybe he did not read his own directive?
Edit Add: Perhaps I should not get wound up about a politician's on video statements v what they signed off.
