(Good write-up, although I take exception to the ending of the article.  The people who attended this round table in Stockton represented the demographics and subject matter of direct concerns specific to the general area.

In agriculture, (quite frankly is the bull's eye on the Target of Takings), it is the people in their 40's and UP who are directly responsible for the management of their lands, the planning for estates, legacies to be protected and enhanced under their tenure as Custodians and Conservators to their future generations.  And in this region of the Delta and valley they tend to be white.

Move another round table discussion closer to or within metropolitan areas that will address more urban issues, I'd bet a dime on a dollar, the people in the room would be a direct representation of the demographics of that area, too.  Let's not go creating issues where none exists, please.)

(This is one bill in the Senate we should keep a sharp eye on...can't trust our Senators to act on our behalf up here..Ms Feinstein will see HR1837 is blocked, WWD expects her to.  Therefore, better stay vigilant on all bills before the Senate that she doesn't throw a slider at us...she'll NEVER be 100% on 'our side' in any issue.  They only real loyalty she has is 100% to her bank accounts and her back side.)
