(This is important to the Delta residents.  At a National Heritage Area informational meeting in 2011, a representative from the Bay Area in general and Carquinez Straits organization in particular, that helped sway the vote to change the boundaries of the Delta National Heritage Area to be moved further west to abutt One Bay Area and ABAG on the western most edge of Carquinez Straits.  Please pay attention to the extra layers of potential land and land use confiscation in the future.  FYI, Contra Costa County is also ICLEI or Agenda 21.  That's two out of the five Delta counties.)

Steal North State's Water? There Are Subtler Methods

Water markets are a promising tool, but they deserve skepticism. Los Angeles, after all, paid cash money for the Owens Valley's water. We all know how that ended.

California Farm Bureau to Hold Annual Meeting
http://www.redbluffdailynews.com/news/ci_22105719/california-farm-bureau-hold-annual-meeting
(My opinion, California Farm Bureau should be supporting ALL farmers and stop quasi pitting one group of farmers against another, period.  How can the Bureau file suits to protect farmland against High Speed Rail in the Central Valley, yet do absolutely nothing as a state-wide organization to support farmers and farmland in the Delta against the ill-fated Peripheral Anything??

Both supposed projects are nothing more than wealth redistribution, land theft and water heisting in its finest form.  The deliberate breaking up of long-held, original California founding families holdings is deliberate, willful and being perpetuated upon all of us under the guise of 'water supply reliability' and 'ecosystem restoration' and will come down via inverse condemnation, declarations of 'critical habitat', 'buffer zones', anything NPS wants to put out as 'science' (potential NHA designation ala Drakes Bay, folks.) 

The California Farm Bureau should make a united stand against ANY theft of ANY of California's Prime Soil rated agriculture lands.  After all, that's what they organized for in the first place, to protect, defend, advocate and lobby for ALL farmers in their organization, correct???

There is one better alternative to the Delta boondoggle that would actually resolve most of the ecosystem, and supply reliability issues, do the least amount of harm to the geographic areas involved, ecosystem and private property while providing the highest return on investment of all resources dedicated to such resolutions.  It is the Western Delta Intake Concept put forth by Dr. Robert Pyke. 

Neither these two con jobs are nothing more than hijacking of our public processes and resources for personal gain by a very, very, very small circle of people, to the complete and utter devastation of California and her citizens from Oregon to Mexico borders.)

(Given that it runs parallel to and is incorporated into the Texas Transit Corridor, of course he will.  We just have to watch the dog and pony show, put up with some extortion from the Left of the Right and viola! you have approval.)
