<p align=center style='text-align:center'><strong><span style='font-family:
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Stop the Delta Bills!</span></strong><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>With the state budget now held together with bobby pins and paper clips,
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has turned to arm-twisting the Legislature to
pass bills that would establish another new water agency, the Delta
Stewardship Council, to govern water rights and environmental conditions in
the Delta. The Council—a majority of whose members would be appointed by the
Governor—would in turn appoint a Delta watermaster, under the proposed
legislation, who would have sweeping new powers over the Delta region and its
ecology.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>“AB 1 and SB 1 create the path to the Peripheral Canal,’” says Carolee
Krieger, president and executive director of the California Water Impact
Network, “It means life or death for several important salmon species and for
thousands of farmers there.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>“The governor is doing an end run around the people and fisheries of the
Delta and around California voters to get these projects up and running,”
says Tom Stokely, C-WIN board member and water policy coordinator. “But we’ve
sent a letter telling the Legislature that there is no new water for these
projects. If they get funded and built, it would be an ecological and
economic catastrophe for the Delta and for all of California.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The letter may be obtained online at <a
href="http://lists.sunnydayonline.com/lt.php?id=eh8EBQRTBksCCkQABlU%3D">www.c-win.org</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The Delta bills would benefit primarily western San Joaquin Valley
growers, junior priority water contractors who are using low water
allocations and endangered species court decisions as
opportunities to finance a misleading "fish vs.
farmers" publicity campaign managed by the notorious propaganda PR firm
Burston Marsteller, The Governor visits the area frequently to show support,
and recently vowed to get them new dams. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>“The canal and new dams would essentially be ‘subprime’ projects,” says
Stokely, calling up the recent specter of America’s financial meltdown, “intended
to supply water to low-priority growers. Doing this would take water away
from other more senior water users up and down the Central Valley, provoking
lawsuits everywhere.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>“The time is now,” urges Krieger, “to call your legislator immediately and
urge them to vote no on all of the Delta bills.”<o:p></o:p></p>
