In today’s Bee, there was a good letter commenting on the recent meeting to discuss the local partner in the dam project.
Here is an excerpt.
Realistic dam option
As someone who attended the subject meeting, I can say that The Bee's May 16 article "Debate renewed on local Auburn dam sponsorship" was fair and accurate. The problem I have is that most of the people speaking against building an Auburn dam seem to think that this an undemocratic process, in that they did not participate. Surveys in Placer, El Dorado and Sacramento counties show a solid majority of registered voters support an Auburn dam. They also support an assessment of $25 or more, annually, to pay for feasibility and environmental studies.
