Fight for Our Water Rights
I protest the Metropolitan Water District’s proposal to nearly double the annual parcel tax. I am vehemently opposed to this proposed assessment increase.
More importantly, I oppose the MWD’s high-handed management of the water resources of many Southern California counties. If the MWD thinks it’s democratic or equitable to require 40% of the affected homeowners to protest a water bill increase, this only shows its criminal arrogance.
Our district attorney should file a civil rights action in the interests of his constituents against the MWD, as has been done in San Diego County. Mike Bradbury is already investigating the killing of a Ventura County resident, Mr. Scott, by Los Angeles authorities that possibly coveted Scott’s property. Mr. Bradbury might as well fight for our water rights too, before the greed of the Los Angeles-based MWD again gets out of hand.
