Blog: Bay Delta Plan Needs Fed, State Action
http://www.thebusinessjournal.com/lists-resources/blogs/publisher-blog-gordon-webster/2475-blog-bay-delta-plan-needs-fed-state-action
It is critically important for federal and state officials to quickly reach consensus and move forward with the Bay Delta Conservation Plan.
Quickly reaching 'consensus' is the same garbage what brought us here.  Speeding up this corrupt process will only benefit same-said non-complete governmental infrastructure contractors, the mountains and myriads of consultants and regulating agencies.

John and Josephine Q. Public will be left shafted, holding the bag while the same said cast of clowns laugh all the way to the bank.)

(Now, if we could only highlight how the 'taking' of Prime Delta Agriculture soils for a 'conveyance' boondoggle, we might actually stand a chance in literally 'saving' California from its rampant stupidity.

Make no mistake, the only entities that will see any profits/benefits whatsoever on this IS the CHSRA, the non-compete federal government contractors, i.e. Bechtel, Parsons Brinkerhoff, URS, etc. and their political cronies/spouse.  You and I???  All we get is the back end of the ass.)
