At issue is how the proposed purchase of out of system water will be used, and for what purpose. Proposition 1 on our ballot is not the sort of thing anyone wants to see on any State's ballot. So anyone else in another state should watch anything to do with their own water issues. Like other things, these sorts of ballot measures can have a, forgive the pun, a ripple effect. We all know what that lead to in the last decade. This is America. I think we've done enough bending over.
Our state's water is used to a great degree by agriculture, and this is fine, but there are other issues here, the fact that once water goes to streams and rivers it is classified as "abandoned" and can be recaptured by agri-business, a nightmare conglomeration that has given rise to many problems in food production, and that is busily grabbing up small farms as well as water mandated for the survival of native habitat.
California: Vote No on Prop 1
