State Water Contractors are 'Delta Doozies'
http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?llr=jsitf5iab&v=001AQflCIZUlQ66ld9NxbJKMSGVQY7JOuwmZw2Lpqp7qM0bGv6AcUVZimtu0-LHMsjkQNVqrdi4g0-Aj0k3hH4l8BIjGEcprEr-XXLyhm3X8AUYPUOLbgvEBQ%3D%3D
(This site paid for by public monies from public agencies is questionable at best.  It is also propaganda and perpetuation of misstatements and half-truths.  Oh all right...outright lies.  I wonder if they would have the decency to call out their own 'doozies'?  After all, facts are stubborn things.)

Farm Bureau Says Water Sale Illegal But Bee Won't Tell the Public
http://thevalleycitizen.com/?p=1452
Clearly the Modesto Bee and the MID hope to accomplish the sale by way of strong public support, but the people have a right to know the whole story so they can make a fully informed decision. The Stanislaus County Farm Bureau has earned the respect of Valley citizens and deserves to be heard.
