Coalition viewpoint...Where is the subsidy? The blogger
exhibits a lack of understanding of the ongoing operations at IID. The
infrastructure that delivers the water to create the energy was built by the
water side of IID. The energy department is simply paying the expense to
create the power that is then delivered to its users. The IID directors,
elected by the people, periodically review this arrangement to provide the best
service to the customers of IID.

Coalition viewpoint...The Kern Water Bank was not built
with taxpayer money.Water users
provided the necessary funding to construct the water bank.The State decided to transfer
ownership/operation to local water interests and the result has been a
flexibility in managing California's water supplies that has benefited all
interests in our state.

Coalition
viewpoint...strict
guidelines govern whether applications for water transfers, especially those
moving through the Delta, are acceptable.This transfer went through that review process and received approval to
move forward.Not only does the
area of origin and those receiving the water benefit, but also the Delta
environment as a result of a portion of that water remaining in the Delta.
Transfers continue to provide a flexibility that is needed in managing
California's water supplies.

Coalition viewpoint...Each step of the current study is
being carefully taken. Questions
are being asked and answers are being sought. It is unfortunate that some special interests have already
formed opinions before those answers are developed. The ongoing study by NHI and GCID deserves to move forward.

Coalition viewpoint...Such viewpoints fail to fully
recognize what the water bond would have accomplished and the consequences of
not approving it now. All of
California has benefited from those of the past who looked into the future and
saw how a reliable source of water would improve the lifestyles of all through
a growing economy. That growth is
now jeopardized because of an aging infrastructure. It is not just the farm workers losing jobs and the land
going unplanted, it is off-the-farm jobs that will also suffer, from truck
drivers to grocery clerks to dock workers.

Coalition viewpoint---This blog is a mish-mash of personal opinions,
falsehoods and recycled rhetoric. The State Water Board, in releasing its
staff report, did not identify water exports as the "real culprit"
for the current Delta conditions. Quite the opposite...the Board went to
great lengths to explain that the legislative directive for conducting the
report restricted the study to only look at water flows and no other
factors. The Board also stated that the report is non-binding. To
continually blame San Joaquin Valley farmers for the ills of the Delta is
irresponsible and damages effort to restore the Delta's environment and provide
a reliable water supply to farmers and 25 million Californians.
