Well Jeff, we tried to do our part.
Yes my friend. We fought hard 13 years ago and the farmers who were being decimated got a chance to stand. There were those who wanted to...and did. Unfortunately, far too many went right back and sat down with the very people who were seeking to destroy them and made another “deal,” and now that deal is biting them hard.
I tried, with all the efforts and strength of my soul, to get them to push for the works to be transferred as they were supposed to have been from the beginning, to get their lawyers and file to have those irrigation gates to become theirs...but they did not want to do that.
Now they are literally living with the consequences of making a deal with the devil.
Time to do it again. Any ideas as to who is leading the opposition to the land grab?
