As a lifelong San Joaquin Valley farmer, I support improving and increasing our water supply. I wanted to support the water bond the Legislature placed on the November ballot, but I couldn't.
The water bond is enormously expensive, costing taxpayers $22 billion by the time principal and interest are paid off. How can we ask voters to approve that kind of spending during a recession?
