What I am sayi...Alex, <BR/>I might need to revise this. What I am saying is that, of the two proposals, Perata's in distinctly better, if only for the reason that it does not fund the conveyance and it does not fund any new dams. Both of these actions in Schwarzenegger's plan are distinctly 19th Century exploitation of the environment.<BR/><BR/>And, you are right about not being truly serious about conservation. They are truly serious about funding growth... economic and residential. That is where the money comes from for local politics and since Prop 13 where the money comes from for local government.Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15684763427526399228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497138.post-32558831600237344882007-09-25T09:41:00.000-07:002007-09-25T09:41:00.000-07:00Question: Why should we agree to either Arnold or ...Question: Why should we agree to either Arnold or Perata's "Hurry Up" strategy? <BR/><BR/>I am uncomfortable with rushing yet another big bond issue onto the ballot for February on a question that has otherwise had so little public debate. <BR/><BR/>Don Perata is a crook, so some of his campaign donors must be expecting to make some money out of this deal. At the risk of sounding a bit like an old Republican, why does this Golden State always squandering so much money? I am not convinced these guys are really serious about conservation. <BR/><BR/>Wes, I know you've followed this issue closely.
