Sorry to make you uncomfortable that I do not walk lock step with liberals or conservatives.
My close friends include conservatives, liberals, libertarians, agnostics,
priests, large and small timber and Ag landowners, law enforcement, even lesbians so beautiful they would scare the hell out of you, the whole spectrum of society.
Calikev, thanks for the clarification on the real value of AG.
There is a wealth of information documenting that the Resnicks damaged aquifers, polluted ground water and air quality for farm workers, their families, and surrounding communities. Speckslyer knows this. It is public knowledge. I posted all of the details previously and can post it again if needed.
Winchester,
I am in favor of bringing the Klamath basin in balance by providing funding to buy ag and take it out of production so there can be enough water for the Klamath River, reduced ag, and the wetlands in the refuge.
If landowners and the rights to make their own decisions about it are a purported value, why did Klamath landowners "Dunn" other landowners who wanted to sell?
As it stands every year is a drought year for Salmon in the Klamath River due to flows being ramped down to not how much but how little the Salmon need. This has led to a collapse and complete closure of the fishery.
I'll come right out and say it, and frankly I don't care what others think. If we can restore the Basin refuges and keep agricultural, and all the salmon that run up up the river died, it wouldn't hurt my feelings at all. I would rather see the salmon, refuge and ranchers all exist though
