Dr. David Zippin and Jennifer Pierre of ICF International gave a somewhat confusing presentation responding to the comments. At one point, Pierre stated in regard to a question on Delta outflows, "I don't know how to explain the numbers."
If you can't explain the numbers, then maybe the project shouldn't be built...)

SCV Could Weather Disruption in State Water Supply

(As it should be...well done, Santa Clarita!)
“The way we’ve insulated ourselves is a combination of a diverse water-supply portfolio and water-banking programs that firm up the reliability and availability of our state water supply,” Masnada said.

Beware - A Water Supply Disaster
http://www.foxandhoundsdaily.com/2012/11/beware-a-water-supply-disaster/
(This is more like it...finally, someone addressing the fact that So Cal's concrete ditch is their biggest threat or liability to their 'water supply reliability'...not the levees in the Delta.

Not to mention this concrete ditch has subsided in some areas up to four feet.  That's a 4 foot sink hole or drop off in that ditch.  I'd be more concerned about that coupled with the fact it runs parallel to the San Andreas fault, but hey, what do I know???)

The Govt. Wants Your 401(k) Plan
http://www.calwatchdog.com/2012/11/30/the-govt-wants-your-401k-plan/
Investors Business Daily: “Retirement is an American’s reasonable expectation. We put money into investment plans so that our work today funds our hard-earned leisure of tomorrow. But many in Washington see our investment accounts not as the expressions of well-planned, disciplined decisions but as untapped reservoirs of wealth they can drain to fix the problems that they caused.”

(She's a busy little bee, isn't she?  You can bet a bottom dollar any new refineries built in California will have Coker pumps in them.  Coker is the pump that refines denser more toxic crude, guess who owns stock in Coker??? )
