I am working for a real solution.
Monterey Peninsula gets its water from the Carmel River and the Seaside Basin. Both water sources are being severely overpumped.
What I have done during the past four years:
- Implemented new protections for the Carmel River
and its tributaries.
- Advocated for sensible water projects that would
legalize our current rate of water consumption.
- Fought for public disclosure of private `closed
door' deals made by public officials.
- Opposed water profiteering through the private
sale of water credits.
- Treated my position and my fellow directors with
respect, worked hard,and did my homework.
- Championed the public's right to vote
on large water projects.
- Opposed Cal-Am's demands that residential and
business customers pay for Cal-Am's inefficiencies.
During the next four years, I will:
- Oppose Cal-Am's demands for huge unjustified
water rate increases.
- Continue to support the public's right to vote on large water projects.
- Protect existing customers from paying for new water supplies demanded by big developers.
- Protect the Seaside water basin, which is being overpumped far beyond its safe yield.
- Focus on a feasible, environmentally acceptable water supply to alleviate the damage being done to the Carmel River.
Vote Yes on Measure W
Public Ownership Study
We, the public, need to protect ourselves from Cal-Am's ongoing
- Mismanagement
- Neglect
- Huge rate increases.
We need to determine if we can buy out Cal-Am's control
of our water system. Measure W will allow us to make a decision based upon facts. For this reason, I support Measure W and urge you to vote yes.
