OK,.... In keeping with my interest in trying to be objective, the link below includes a statement made by the San Joaquin Tributaries Authority in the conservative blog, OC Political. The SJ Tribs Auth has raised several points that really have enforced what I've been thinking for some time. That being that the right hand (government) doesn't know what the left is doing or why, not only that they don't seem to want to communicate much other than to tell everyone else what is best for the Delta environment and Salmon recovery.
now, as I've said often enough in the past, I'm not a conservative but this message should be taken to heart by those in charge of meeting the objectives in "da BDCP". While reading the post, think about how long it's taken to get the BDCP to this point in time only to be reduced to make it more palatable and realize that the bond initiative to fund the project was recently pulled from the ballot a second time. Also, keep in mind that there are at least 31 governmental entities involved in carrying out the plan; not counting non-governmental organizations. Each one has their own goals and objectives, not necessarily in keeping with those of the overall plan.
I'm not holding out any hope for change, tho. It seems that these agencies all have adopted the strategy of jumping on their horses and riding off in all directions at the same time. Maybe they'll shoot themselves in the foot. One can only hope.
Geezzz!!! I re-read this this morning and edited a bit. Shouldn't try to post late at night.... ;-)
The link includes another link to a study done by AECOM on this subject but I was unable to display the report. Take a look at the info available:
