CALIFORNIA's WATER RIGHTS FROM BIG AG
From Food & Water Watch
Proposition 1 Is a $14 Billion Scam to Give Our Water to Special Interests
We Need Real Water Solutions, Not Special Interest Giveaways!
Say NO to More Public Debt to Give Our Water to Big Ag
This November, California voters will be faced with a $7.5 billion bond measure called Proposition 1. Special interests will tell you the measure will help with the drought and fund useful water projects, but don't believe them.
In reality, Prop 1 will use taxpayer money to send more water to corporate agriculture and stick our state with massive debt. Join us in opposing Prop 1, a taxpayer-funded special interest giveaway!
Proposition 1 allocates up to $3.5 billion for dams and water transfers for greedy corporate agribusinesses. Big Ag has their eye on two new dams and they want our money to pay for them. Corporate farmers like Beverly Hills billionaire Stewart Resnick are raking in high profits despite the drought — they should not be receiving more taxpayer-subsidized water for their private benefit!
Big Ag's greed for more water would come at the expense of family farmers, our wild salmon population and the sustainable fishing economy that depends on them. No more public debt for corporate ag!
In addition, Proposition 1 would stick California with a whopping $14.4 billion in total new debt ($7.5 billion plus interest) by taking $360 million per year out of our state budget for the next 40 years. The money to fund Prop 1 will come at the expense of other vital public services like education and health care.
We need to invest in real water solutions, not fund special interest water projects.
Despite warnings from the Environmental Protection Agency, politicians like Governor Jerry Brown — an ally of Resnick — will go to great lengths to take water from the places and people that truly need it, all in the name of big business and big profit.
Just like the twin tunnels proposal, Proposition 1 does nothing to address the root causes of California's water crisis or make our water use more efficient, it simply rewards powerful special interests — like Big Ag — who are already worsening our water problems. This is especially concerning when we really do need to spend billions on fixing our old pipes and leaking local water and sewer systems.
We don't have more money or water to waste subsidizing corporate interests!
