Candidate for
Board Member; Monterey Peninsula Water Management District; Division 2

I am working for a real solution.

Monterey Peninsula gets its water from the Carmel River and the Seaside Basin. Both water sources are being severely overpumped.

What I have done during the past eight years:

• Implemented new protections for the Carmel River and its tributaries.

• Advocated for sensible water projects that would legalize our current rate of water consumption.

• Fought for public disclosure of private `closed door' deals made by public officials.

• Opposed water profiteering through the private sale of water credits.

• Treated my position and my fellow directors with respect, worked hard,and did my homework.

• Championed the public's right to vote on large water projects.

• Opposed Cal-Am's demands that residential and business customers pay for Cal-Am's inefficiencies.

• Oppose Cal-Am's demands for huge unjustified water rate increases.

• Continue to support the public's right to vote on large water projects.

• Protect existing customers from paying for new water supplies demanded by big developers.

• Protect the Seaside water basin, which is being overpumped far beyond its safe yield.

• Focus on a feasible, environmentally acceptable water supply to alleviate the damage being done to the Carmel River.
