Alexandra Gehrke was sentenced to 15 1/2 years in prison, and her husband, Jeffrey King, was sentenced to 14 years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud and wire fraud, according to the Justice Department.

The way the water is sold from the Colorado River and from a federal water project serving California's agriculture-rich Central Valley essentially puts little or no value on the water itself" only on the pipelines, canals and other infrastructure used to deliver it, says the report, titled "Free water while it lasts." But the low rates charged by the feds to various water users in the region don't even cover the U.S. government's costs of operating and repairing the water infrastructure, meaning federal taxpayers are subsidizing those costs, it finds.
