twitterLetter: Rampant growth threat to all in the valley
Friday, June 21, 2002 | 9:42 a.m.
So they hassle ordinary citizens with petty water fines and rub salt in the wound by wasting our tax money preaching conservation in TV and news ads, meanwhile cowing to developers' wishes. Build, build, build!
Suppose it eases their conscience to lay the blame on us. And if we all conserve, then maybe they can justify stretching our limited resources even closer to the breaking point? When will they wake up and see that their own lack of backbone and leadership in growth control is the real threat to us all?
