Here it comes again.... the peripheral canal.
Though for most people it will seem like it is all something new. This goes
back to the fifties and Casper Weinberger fronting for Bechtel Engineering.
This is a good example of the over study of an important issue by political
forces to reach the end conclusion they started with.
Southern California needs water and has the clout both political and
monetary to get it.
What is being left out of the so-called discussion is the state and western
region is in a severe drought.
The population of southern California continues to significantly increase
while the north continues to have less water to send south. Two negative
numbers don't make a plus.
Also, the state is broke at all levels and the state budget has a 10 billion
dollar short fall. The proposed February ballot water bond is for 9.5
billion in additional funds.
And if you haven't heard the delta is in terrible shape and prone to severe
damage from any significant earthquake.
And then their is the fish and birds which are in mass die off up and down
the coast.
Will we actually build this and then send an additional trickle of water
south?
We sure will as the up front money to get it going is coming from the south
and the corporation are totality behind it.
So what we have is a blue ribbon committee on stage to give this scam
credibility.
And Herr governor Arny also backs it. You may recall Arny ran on a platform
of resolving the budget issues. Which of course he was not able to do any
more than Gray Davis. So if the terminator trashes the state we can all
think we are bit players in a movie.
Pass the popcorn!
Warren Buffet who was a backer of Arny the first time around. We'll that was
until he said "this will not work unless their is a realistic property tax
base to fund the state."
Silly fellow, what would Buffet really know about money?
