Coalition response...The membership of the Delta Vision Foundation reflect a common goal---resolving issues in the Delta for the benefit of all Californians. Their current and past activities indicate a willingness to rise above self-serving interests that only help a few. Californians should be aware of their histories and be thankful that they serve in their current positions.

From Aguanomics – Tuesday, June 14, 2011

Coalition response...Employment records indicate that Mendota experiences an unemployment rate of 20% on an annual basis. EDD records further indicate that when surrounding farms received only 10% of their contracted water supply in 2009, the unemployment rate for Mendota shot past 40%. To claim that water supplies will not help Mendota’s unemployed is gross ignorance of the facts.
