But since no one can put a dipper in the ground and measure the water, all evidence is subject to interpretation, and I certainly can't say that I've seen all that's available to an official decision-maker, so I'm not really in position to second-guess that. <BR/><BR/>What's clear to me is that our ways are profligate and our resources meager. That's enough for me to say we should be far more cautious about what we use and promise. From my personal standpoint the worst that can happen from halting growth is a higher price for my house when I sell. So there may be some self-interest working there as well.Steven Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15663818104866997062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310158610197025977.post-26813027208866631042007-04-26T19:18:00.000-07:002007-04-26T19:18:00.000-07:00Does anybody actually believe that ,given the evid...Does anybody actually believe that ,given the evidence, that there is enough water for the type of growth that is planned for this area? or the state? <BR/> we are either seeing incompetence or a willfull ignorance based on self interest . either one is inexcusable from our elected officals.leftturnclydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05887558712491736489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310158610197025977.post-14498580249196905082007-04-26T16:43:00.000-07:002007-04-26T16:43:00.000-07:00It's not unreasonable to imagine some "maximum per...It's not unreasonable to imagine some "maximum personal benefit" thinking, but I think it's unfair to tar them all with that brush. Most of them, I'm convinced, truly believe that the water is there and will be there, even many who've studied the issue closely for years.Steven Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15663818104866997062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310158610197025977.post-21340967578534000252007-04-26T15:08:00.000-07:002007-04-26T15:08:00.000-07:00They must believe every thing is a-okay.
