Reynolds Extends His Fight with City
WOW...If this self-proclaimed 'environmentalist' really was, he'd stop deliberately diverting critical city funds into his own pocket. If he 'won' the environmental war by getting the city to release more water, then seems to me he'd be more than happy to have accomplished it gratis, on behalf of those fish you know.

If they must replace the infrastructure, then let's hope the design/architecture is of something that will stand or be of historic value in a couple hundred years!

Foresthill Water Rates to Rise in March....that's the title, but this is from the guts...See what happens? If it's ok at the federal level, it must be ok at the local....monkey see, monkey do!
“It sounds like they are trying to cancel out the results of Measure B by fiat, conduct a vigorous campaign based on generalities and convince the voters that they need to confirm the FPUD 12-28-11 action,” Brent said. “Their attorneys whom we pay through our monthly payments have apparently blessed this process, an invalidation of the voters will.”

Is there really such a thing in this day and age? Or are you only secure in the most senior of water rights depending upon where one resides????
"We have some of the oldest, most senior rights in California", said Chris White, general manager of the Central California district. "From that situation we are situated very well".

Isn't this what all the 'extra' is for? Thank goodness appropriate regional self-sufficiency and storage are paying off.

Is it just me here, native Northern California, Bay Area/Delta resident...they banter about seismic activity around this dam site like it's nothing...If our levees are at such perilous risk from supposed seismic activity and what it could potentially do in a worst case scenario...heck...just think of the devastation down river of all of this water....now that is perilous danger.

Sorry, but no matter which way you slice the current HSR environment, it is wrong. Wrong project for the wrong reasons located in the wrong area of the state, etc. And, there just isn't any money for it...
