twitterLetter: Slowing growth is smart solution to water problem
Thursday, Aug. 7, 2003 | 8:32 a.m.
I read Patricia Mulroy's Aug. 3 "Where I Stand" column with great interest. Just as important as what she said are those facts that she and others in government are not saying.
What elected official has opposed the expansion of housing in the valley by requesting the Bureau of Land Management to hold off on land auctions? Who in North Las Vegas asked how many gallons of water would be used in the proposed new cement plant? Why didn't Mulroy recommend a delay in the expansion of new housing developments in the valley?
Water conservation is the smart thing. Controlled growth is not a bad thing -- it too is the smart thing.
