Water project could increase bills by 20 percent

My water bill is up WAY over 20% already without any improvement in water supply. You think the canal could get built for that nominal increase in rate? Yeah, me neither.

30% of the population is unemployed . 30% of the population is on welfare. A % of the others are Government Employees. Just who is going to pay the bill and how. We all ready are seeing what will be run away inflation in the value of the dollar. 20million people have home equity loans that are paying interest only loans at bank market rate. If we see run away inflation many of those folks will lose their homes. Ift his happens that will a larger recession that we are in. Get ready folks the State of Ca. is going to help you out. Any place you want to go out side of Ca. With out the States help their is no way to recover.

what a great way to con the taxpayers of this state.....i guess its at any means possible...what happened to san bernardino having this huge underground basin of water?....so plentiful we were going to have lakes and streams...what a crock of ship......

I'm a government employee, "halkshaw", what does that have to do with paying 20% more on my water bill? Thanks to the 3x a month state-mandated furlough, my real income has dropped to the level it was in 1992. I pay taxes, the same as you. Don't blame government employees, we took on a job, the same as you.

Anything to raise our taxes. That's all these scum-bag politicians do.

Against this for sure. All we have to do it simply turn the pumps back on. About 25% of the pumps are off to protect the delta smelt. When will people wake up.

The State has to correct to recover that means they need to cut one third their accounts payable. You add 20% water you just cut down your ablity for people to spend money. Less taxes no money to pay Government employees. We need volunteers to run the State the people we pay can do it.

is there no end to this bull crap.every chance they get they keep raising the rates and the service is as lousy as ever.they are just like the gasoline people,looking for evbery excuse to keep cleaning us out.
