Editorial: Keeping Up With the Delta
http://www.thereporter.com/opinion/ci_20099490
(All voices are being heard, Mike...really? Then if that were true, there wouldn't be so much outcry at the deliberate and willful exclusion of in-Delta representation and interests. Kinda hard to rape, pillage and plunder, for those with any semblance of a conscience any way, when you're forced to look into the eyes of your intended victims.)

Hmmm, I seem to recall 70 feet of snow here at 5650 ft and record amounts of water being pumped to So Cal last year. Someone musta mixed up the talking points memos.)
