Governor Brown: Forget the bullet train and use funds for drought solutions.
Tell Governor Jerry Brown to use the funds earmarked for the high speed rail to resolve our lack of water. California is experiencing horrible drought conditions and Governor Brown would rather fund a high speed bullet train from L.A. To San Francisco. His priorities are out of order. Our taxpayer dollars would be better spent figuring out how to provide his constituents with water, a necessity for all living things. Instead of tearing up neighborhoods to build a train that no one will use.
Why is this important?
I live in the Santa Clarita Valley and the we do not need our neighborhoods destroyed by this ill-conceived project. We need water. Our lakes, rivers and reservoirs are drying up with each passing day. The farmers use 80% of the water and the remaining 20% is for consumer usage. We are told to conserve, which the majority of us are doing, but how wrong is it to have our taxpayer dollars wasted on the vanity project of our out of touch governor when his constituents are suffering. Please sign to let him know how we all really feel. Thank you.
