Are you concerned with the water issues that we face in the Central Valley? What are your specific concerns?

Absolutely we’re concerned about water issues.   Water is our business.  Water is our life blood, we all depend on it.  Our water table in the summer mostly is dropping almost daily.  Everyone should be concerned about our water issues, not just farmers.  This severe water table problem affects everyone.  The environmentalists are intentionally killing us with their supposed concerns for fish and other wildlife.  We need to vote out these two faced politicians who lie to the voters about how they are going to get us more water during their campaigns and then vote with environmentalist against our water problems.  One of them is a congressman in a neighboring district who in the past voted against all of our water issues and then ran a campaign about how he was for getting us more water.  Our west side is dying because of these two faced liars who vote with the environmentalists.  If we are to survive we need to be a little more astute at the voting places.  We need more dams to catch the runoff water and we need them now! With more surface water we can stop the drop of our water table!
