I don't know how that bill can threaten private water. I've been considering(God and probate court willing) buying property out in the middle of BFE. This means septic tanks, propane, and...water wells. There is electricity and phone lines, but you have to have dish satellite for television reception.

I remember what happened the last time the state government declared a drought. Remember that? If you had a green lawn, the pc police were down your throat. I personally choose to conserve and be responsible. I don't need the government telling me how much water my family can use. This is the kind of thing that we should be watching out for. Take a look at the people who voted for these bills.

Speaking of Eucalyptus trees, I didn't know they weren't native. I do know that where I live is full of them. I spent 2 yrs as a kid on allergy shots. How are they going to dig up trees that big? What would Greenpeace say?

You will be fined severly if you cut one in Santa Cruz county.

The eucalyptus were brought in in the 19th century as a test for growing as fire wood. Problem is, they are so incendiary that they are severe fire hazards. Also contribute to the allergies here. I won't allow them on my property, nor the acacias and scotch broom. They ARE nearby though, and the allergy season is horrific here.
