New Delta Website Focuses on Delta Water Project
http://www.aquafornia.com/archives/72573/
(Well, there have been discrepancies pointed out to those working on this site at the County level, pretty much within the first hour of posting to this blog.  Careful attention must be paid as to where the links come from...the video posted yesterday was done by Coalition for a Sustainable Delta, an astroturf organization we know is funded out of South San Joaquin/WWD area.  Either Sac County will figure it out, maintain a website that ACCURATELY reflects the citizens of Sacramento County, or in my opinion, pull it off the internet.  Time will tell.)

Radioactive Contamination on SF's Treasure Island A Tale of Government Obfuscation and Willful Ignorance
http://www.testosteronepit.com/home/2012/8/28/radioactive-contamination-on-san-franciscos-treasure-island.html
(Couple of things, Willie Brown has a direct stake/interest in developing Treasure Island, so collusion and corruption first; second and more important to me is liquefaction folks...if Propagandists and Manipulators want something to get themselves all worked up about seismically, PAY ATTENTION TO THIS...leave our Delta and our levees alone.  Here is genuine human hazards, environmental and seismic and it's being downplayed...absolutely shameful, but incredibly light-shining on the just-barely-legal-ethical shenanigans emanating out of San Francisco politics since oh let's say about 1981.)

As College Tuition Soars , fairness Qustions Arise
http://californiawatch.org/dailyreport/college-tuition-soars-fairness-questions-arise-17782
(Fairness my a$$...this is criminal what is happening to our university education system.  My daughter has had to mark time at Sierra College for three semesters waiting for Cal State University, Sacramento to take in-state transfer students.  She's had to wait on her education and career because of this and now they say they give priority to out-of-state students for the higher tuition fees.

Hey here's a thought, why don't you just make a tuition structure that is accurate and equal...nothing in life is ever 'fair', but one most certainly can make things equitable.  In a real world that is not California, that would be a logical means to extricate our education system from the blackmail and BS that passes for public policy these days.)
