[Wes Rolley]

The San Jose Mercury News has announced a public forum on the CA 
Drought.  You can read the particulars here:

There is a related story today regarding the increasing pressure from Ag 
interests to build new dams.   You will note that the movement (if you 
can call it that) to restore Hetch-Hetchy seems to have disappeared.  
One problem with the idea of building new dams is the fact that it 
assumes there will always be enough precip to fill the reservoirs.   
Given the impact of climate change, that assumption should be challenged.

I have faith that Paul Rogers, part of the forum, is a very good, 
accurate journalist.
