From what I understand from last nights meeting, they are going to put
in a golf course first and then as the project is built up, there's
going to be something like 17 parks in the area and instead of
designing them for DESERT landscaping, they'll be using water eating
grass. Heck the golf course alone will take 1 million ac feet of water
per week.


Hmm. Back in grade school, one of the really drab subjects
that I'll bet most people forgot quickly was geography -- this
area raises alfalfa and cattle, that one mines copper and zinc,
the other gets 43 inches per year of rainfall and is known for
its hydropower, all those facts and figures.

And yet it's what our geography teachers taught that we most
need to know to judge projects like this. How much water *does*
such-and-such kind of development take, and how much water flows
through that river and gets shared among all these regions,
and how much rain falls here...

And if they rig it up for night play ... hmmm wonder if I
could get hold of a airfoce Jdam?

And last night I had the BEAST parked right out in front with the
signs on it's side saying vote NO on I, right where they could see it
when they drove in. As I'm doing this campair on my own budget, it's a
one man operation, this weekend when my VA comes in I'll get some
more poster boards and make new signs and nail'm up all over town,
make the RSDC people real happy to see that! and next tuesday is the
day that'll tell the tail.

Good luck, and keep up the fight
