& Stuffing The Twin Tunnels Down our Throat

Clendaniel: Stop the Delta debacle before property owners get gouged,
How atrocious twin-tunnels mega-deal could cost Californians billions,
Mercury News, September 6, 2017.

MAIN POINTS

Democracy?
"...Brown’s administration will try for a third time to secure a political mega-deal that would commit millions of California property owners to pay for the $19.9 billion Delta twin-tunnels water grab. Without approval of voters or the Legislature."

Corporate Growth Machine of Death
"It’s an atrocious abuse of the political system that must be stopped. Blocking the effort would save property owners thousands of dollars over the next 20-40 years and help preserve the health of the Delta for the next generation and beyond."

Another Brown Scam
"...the state Department of Water Resources convinced the Joint Legislative Budget Committee to schedule a hearing that would enable backers of the Delta tunnels to extend state water contracts for another 50 years."

Liars
"...proponents argued that the Delta tunnels project is merely a “maintenance” project of the original State Water Project that California voters approved in 1960. No need to waste time going back to voters for what should be considered ongoing work, they say."

"Extending the contracts of current State Water Project members for another 50 years would put 27 districts throughout the state on the hook to cover the cost of the contracts that would fund the Delta tunnels."

"The committee doesn’t even need to vote on the proposal. Since it’s merely a maintenance issue, just getting together in Sacramento and sitting through the presentation fulfills its oversight role."

TAKE ACTION
"Once again, call or email Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (916-319-2063, assemblymember.rendon@assembly.ca.gov) and Senate President Toni Atkins (916-651-4039, senator.atkins@senate.ca.gov) and tell them to stop this effort to gouge California property owners. Demand a more transparent process giving California voters and the Legislature the final say on whether the tunnels should be built."
