Californians Have No Idea What They're Getting Themselves Into
http://redgreenandblue.org/2012/08/14/californians-have-no-idea-what-theyre-getting-themselves-into/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+IM-redgreenandblue+%28Red%2C+Green+and+Blue%29&utm_content=Google+Reader
The editorial fails to mention that the Southern California ratepayers who will pay for the tunnels are among the most vocal critics of the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP). The construction of two massive peripheral tunnels to export more water to corporate agribusiness will not only hasten the extinction of Central Valley salmon and Delta fish species and take fertile Delta farmland out of production, but it could also dramatically raise rates for Southern California water customers.

Michelena:  Plan for Delta Tunnels Could Make for Nefarious Bedfellows
http://www.modbee.com/2012/08/13/2328478/michelena-plan-for-delta-tunnels.html
Should the tunnels actually materialize, they must yield a fair return on investment for farmers. The fish screens and other pumping improvements were also paid for by water users, but they were somehow never good enough. I am not convinced that regulatory abuse and legal fraud will not continue with this water plan.
