• We’ll all pay price for California’s tunnel vision on water policy: Susan Shelley

  22-09-2017 23:59 via ocregister.com
  
  One of civilization’s greatest accomplishments, really a wonder of the world, is the water infrastructure built during the 20th century in the state of California.
  The historic challenge was described in a 2008 U.S. government study of water in the West: “Hydrologic conditions in California vary greatly from year to year, season to season and place to place. Wet years bring the threat of floods, and drought years put pressure on available water supplies. The majority of the state&rsq

  There’s a growing threat along Southern California’s coastline, and officials want to arm themselves with advanced technology that could save lives.
  It’s not a threat of a nuclear strike that officials gathered to discuss, Friday, Sept. 22, or an attempt to get early warning for earthquakes that can rattle the region.
  No, this threat comes in a more sharp-toothed form and lurks below the water’s surface.

• Legislature raised taxes, did bidding of state’s unions

  SACRAMENTO — California lawmakers spent the preceding months of the recently concluded legislative session reforming public-employee pensions and other unfunded liabilities that are crushing local governments. They reduced the state’s regulatory burden in a bid to spur job creation. In the waning hours of session, they even rolled back the slow-growth rules that drive up home prices — the main cause of our highest-in-the-nation poverty rates.

  The California GOP is rapidly approaching the edge of a black hole from which there is no escape. But rather than reverse course by appealing to the needs and aspirations of average Californians, the response by some Republicans in the Legislature is to rush forward to throw themselves into the abyss by supporting policies that punish the middle-class.
