Our state government has, without public discussion, decided to drain our lake that provides water for our tiny lakeside community, irrigation water to the surrounding ranches, nearest town (pop. <> 10000)that partly survives because of lake tourism, and the farms south of that town.
Overnight, our properties are worthless, our wells at risk, with a mostly retired, very low income population with no place to go.
The state is doing this to save money without any regard for lost jobs, lost tax revenue, and the devastated little people.
I found your survival list almost humorous in our situation.
I understand. It is not my list; I’m just passing on what I found. We are in worse financial shape than anyone can imagine. Obama happy talk is not helping, and this nation is leaderless.
Where do you live? Can you get a restraining order? Can everybody band together and get a media event on this? How does draining a lake save money?
