This is the reason why Santa Clara County water users (take a bath or 
drink a cuppa in the morning?) need to join the protest at the water 
district Monday Evening.   See my previos post on that.

BTW: the billionaire businessman mentioned here is good friends with 
DiFi's husband.  No wonder she acts in his interest, not ours.

*Water Tunnels Opponents Release Charts:*

*Urban Ratepayers Get the Higher Bill,*

*Huge Agribusiness Gets More Water*

/Call on Gov. Brown not to Force Families, /

/Businesses to Pay for Billionaire Growers/

STOCKTON, CA - Restore the Delta (RTD) today released water export 
tracking tables showing that urban users get just 31% of the water, 
while huge agribusiness in the Westlands, Kern and other districts get 
35% of water exports. The tables show a ten-year-average of the amount 
of water exported from the Delta to water agencies south of the Delta 
pumps.

"Urban water rate payers in the Santa Clara Valley Water District and 
the Metropolitan Water District are being asked to pay for a significant 
portion of the proposed peripheral tunnels, as part of the Bay Delta 
Conservation Plan, without receiving any additional water," said Barbara 
Barrigan-Parrilla, RTD executive director.  "Yet, these urban agencies 
receive a smaller percentage of Delta exports (30.8%) than the big 
agribusiness growers found in the Westland Water District and the Kern 
County Water Agency (34.5%). It's time to stop forcing the rest of us to 
subsidize unsustainable agriculture.

"Billionaire Beverly Hills farmer Stewart Resnick has made enormous 
profits exporting around the world pistachios grown with this exported 
water, subsidized by California rate payers, and reselling subsidized 
water for new development. Westlands Water District growers, whose 
Bureau of Reclamation contract places them last in line to receive 
exported Delta water, continue planting permanent crops that cannot be 
sustained on drainage impaired lands. Dr. Jerry Meral, the 
Administration's lead on the BDCP, states that the tunnels will cost 
households as much as a cell phone bill.  He and the water agency 
leaders pushing this boondoggle project ignore that many families in 
urban communities can't afford a second monthly cell phone bill - while 
receiving no additional benefit."
