    4 Better or 4 Worse:

    You can watch the Supervisors
    at 9:30am at the county building.

    Changes to the General Plan that
    help slow down govt. intrusion, have
    been made, so give support to them.

    That's tomorrow, General Plan Changes
    review between staff and Supervisors.

    9:30am County Building.

    The real vote on the plan is still a few weeks
    away, and some good changes have been 
    made to help protect against big govt. 
    encroachment.

    "protect against big govt. encroachment."

    ....does that include "developers' encroachment' and "wamma be supervisor's encroachment?

    (.......hmmmm, has the word 'roach' as part of the entire word......interesting!!!)

    Hi all,    I see we are getting down to the wire on the
    GPU.   

    My  concern is the reliance of future developement in the Plumas Lakes area
    to repay the bonds for flood protecion. (plan A) The County of
    Yuba, (us tax payers) have and obligation to start making
    payments in just a few short years.   The only way we can manage that is
    the build out of the Plumas lake area using the developers fees. 
    The problem is, it is much less expensive and more profitable for home
    builders to go elsewhere. And if you ad in more updated growth 
    projections for the next ten years, We could be headed for a financial
    meltdown.  


    The only savior Yuba County would have is the Yuba Water agency.
    In a couple years the contract with PG and E is up and the profits from
    energy production starts to flow to our agency, we are talking millions of
    dollars here!  Since flood protection falls within the realm of our water
    agency, money can legally be used by them to pay the bonds. (plan B) 

    The Yuba Water Agency as I understand it was created by our
    state elected officials. It's a one of a kind agency in California. 
    With all of the millions that will be generated very soon, and
    the financial crisis our state is in,  it will be very easy to vote
    to remove the agency and take control.  

    My concern is.......  Yuba County doesn't have enough political
    or finacial clout to stop it.

    Should we be concerned? Do we need a plan C??????????
