High Sierra Topix

Hi Everyone,
Just got my new issue of Ca. Game and Fish and on page 14 under More Reservoirs Proposed they are talking about Bills proposed in Congress would allow a new Dam on the Upper San Jaoquin River and damming another valley north of Sacramento. Just thought I would throw it out there,just concerned!

Pay close attention to California Prop 1. The outcome of the election could jumpstart long stalled damn building projects on rivers such as the San Joaquin.

...and run up the state's credit cards by $14 billion.

And line the pockets of Moonbeam's buddies.

I wonder how many people in HST write about economics and have a university degree in economics.
I also wonder how many believe they are experts on economics with no economics education whatsoever.

Those agri-corps that use politics and media manipulation that have made the rest of we Californians pay for their cheap water for decades and now are at it again.

That is an accurate economics statement Dave

sorry to disagree on some level. We really need all the dams we can get in this state, and the CDB/eviros will fight that all the way. Redirect all High speed rail to water. Much more important. Now go flush your toilet, pour a tall glass of water (8 a day) and imagine a day when you cannot.

Actually I agree with your comments too Russ.

"Upper" SJR is likely referring to Temperance Flat which is essentially an expansion of Millerton Lake. http://www.reedleyexponent.com/articles ... 109340.txt" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The "storage" funding isn't explicitly handcuffed to reservoir construction as it was in earlier drafts. While some reports suggest this money will be used for dam construction, that is by no means certain. The money could instead be used for groundwater banking, etc.
