I know I shouldn't be laughing about a tax I'm going to have to pay, both for my business and for my residence, but it is enjoyable seeing Democrats putting the breaks on a tax.
Gosh, weren't they telling all of us last year that we needed new taxes? Guess someone looked at the calendar and figured that this would be a great big club over their heads come election time.
Frankly, charging water users for maintenance of the delta water delivery system isn't a bad idea. What is bad is the way they spend the money, with levee repair costs, once $300/foot and now at over $5,000/foot because of backward, unaccounable, bureaucratic (but I repeat myself) and outrageously extended environmental mitigation costs.
