Top Priorities if Elected |
- Inform voters a solution to Soquel Creek Water's future growth is being studied that is less than half as expensive as desalination; recycled water.
- Inform voters the water from desalination goes to Santa Cruz in "dry" years; page 62, Soquel Creek Water's Groundwater Management Plan 2007
- In a recent conversation with Supervisor Pirie, I said according to Soquel Creek Water's own figures their pumping is in balance. She agreed!

- I decline all endorsements and contributions!
- I believe endorsements fetter the candidate/reduce the voter's influence!

- Is desalination good for Soquel Creek Water Customers?
-
Desalination is a bad deal for Soquel Creek Water because Santa Cruz Water has first call in "dry years" and that's no way to prepare for the next 6 year drought!
Imagine the future, always wondering if Santa Cruz will have enough water next year. Yeah, that Santa Cruz, the one that would rather spend $40 Million on Artists than its infrastructure; they want YOUR MONEY for that expense!
- Talk to Rio Del Mar homeowners
-
Soquel Creek Water District decides to partner up to build desal plant with Santa Cruz Water: we receive no water in "dry years" and the cost is ANYWHERE up to $100 Million. Interest on 30-year bonds often doubles the face amount payback! The whole story is at http://www.soquelh2o.com
