In the coming days, I will shed light on the players and their motivations behind this latest California Water War
Water wars are historic undertakings in California. Countless other publications have written recently about the proposed ballot measure that would redirect High Speed Rail bond money for water-related projects and prioritize the use of water, But what makes this story interesting is the coalition of opponents, their motivations and techniques being employed.
The Committee to Stop the Special Interest Water Grab, led by David Guy, president of the Northern California Water Association, Tim Johnson, president of the California Rice Commission and a “contract administrator” at California Rice Industry Association, and political operative Steve Maviglio of Forza Communications and big supporter of High Speed Rail, have launched an all-out assault campaign against the California Water Priorities Initiative.
Water wars in California are historic. They are often times epic.
This one should be fun because it pits the high speed rail boondoggle against the need for reservoirs
Sometimes it seems too bad that Edgar Cayce was so wrong.
High speed rail should win that battle easily. California wants to tear out dams, not build new ones. Once they finish turning the farmlands into deserts, they’ll have to look elsewhere to steal the water. But new dams are unlikely in that state.
Except they ain’t thrilled with the slow train either
It doesn’t matter what the Proles want. All that matters is what the 1% wants.
