We...No body is talking about purity or perfection. We'll talking about engineering common sense. We're talking about specific commitments made in 2000 and 2003 which if not kept will prevent Measure B from being effective. We're talking about getting to the end of 15 years and looking around and realizing that not much really got done. That's simply "not a good way to run a ship."Richard McMurtryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16513481315220293217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-75370992165411601342012-10-19T18:28:31.814-04:002012-10-19T18:28:31.814-04:00Why does Richard remind Eli of the vote for someon...Why does Richard remind Eli of the vote for someone without a chance of getting elected for purity's sake crowd?<br /><br />Thanks Ralph.EliRabetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07957002964638398767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-90344692297653411342012-10-19T18:06:12.967-04:002012-10-19T18:06:12.967-04:00Brian’s letter is a good summary of what he honest...Brian’s letter is a good summary of what he honestly thinks to be true. However, there are many of us in the stream and fishery restoration community of activists that believe that Brian has not made an objective evaluation of the chances of passing a much better tax in June 2016 and the opportunity that rejecting Measure B offers to get the Water District to make some basic changes for the better in terms of its capacity to keep its environmental commitments.<br /><br />For another view, watch this short video: <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9cxdpyRjXU<br /><br />And please send to all your friends and family who are voters in Santa Clara County.<br /><br />And see our website at: www.envirosforlivingstreams.org<br />Richard McMurtryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16513481315220293217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-69520677595632871412012-10-08T00:39:25.126-04:002012-10-08T00:39:25.126-04:00Gator, I have to admit I don't know those area...Gator, I have to admit I don't know those areas well - I represent a different part of the County. I think you're talking about San Tomas Creek and Sunnyvale East Channel, though. <br /><br />There's $23 million for habitat restoration and $20 million for fish passage, either of which could potentially be spent on pulling cement and making streams more natural. So depending on flooding conditions, it's possible those two streams could benefit.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09301230860904555513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-47364684964845401962012-10-05T22:59:21.465-04:002012-10-05T22:59:21.465-04:00Any chance some of these funds could be used to tu...Any chance some of these funds could be used to turn the "creek" along San Tomas Expressway into something more like the creek along Lawrence?<br /><br />GatorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
