  • "What a waste of taxpayer's money! Every landowner already pays taxes for the water beneath their land. If you don't think so, then compare what the property taxes would be if the land had no water beneath. Prop 13 has done a fine job keeping the gov at bay and this proposed taking is why the voters passed Prop 13. Sadly, gov will continue to waste your tax dollars in an attempt to offend you and that too needs to be addressed so we can get the money back to pave our roads. Maybe the refund will be no pay raises for gov counsel until they do a better job at protecting the public trust. County wide, it would be outrageous to know what gov has spent on legal expenses just on their attempt to take private rights from property owners. As they will say, "if you don't like it, you can file a lawsuit." Which means you fund your claim, and you infinitely fund their defense."

  • "I would love to join the conversation, however it appears this publication picks which comments it will post and I did not make the cut. Very much like the scenario Dell is talking about in the above opinion, I guess a conservative view is not allowed if it makes them uncomfortable."

  • "This is a major victory for WE THE PEOPLE. Never ever stop fighting for your personal and property right that are bestowed upon you by God and guaranteed under our U.S. Constitution. STOP corporate takeovers of any and all public rights at every turn. FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! Congratulations to my fellow Patriots for the win on this battle. P.s. Now, let's get the big corporations and large vineyards to pay their 90+% portion of the water bill and any future infrastructure bill. That's how numbers work. You big corporations/vineyards want to play here, then you need to pay your documented part, here."

  • "Okay I'm going to try this again, I apoligize if it eventually shows up twice. Dell come on if Trump were the actual king do you think you would be able to write something like this, use that brain. It is the same about all the protests over Gaza, do you think you would be allowed to make your opinion know in any of those countries people are protesting for? Elections have conscquences they come around every few years, maybe if the left had not sooo totally screwed up the country and then tried to ttack Trump to prevent his running and winning we would have gotten a more moderate person. By being on the wrong side of so many 80-20 issues the left made sure a reactionary would win."
