[Vision2020] Videos of candidates' statements available

[Paul Rumelhart]

I just watched the videos about water conservation, and Walter Steed had 
the answer I was looking for.  He wants to increase funding to determine 
exactly how much of a problem we actually have.  Linda Pall also 
mentioned funding a study for surface-water usage, which is also a good 
thing.  A few candidates mentioned ways to conserve or reuse water, 
notably Tom Lamar.

Conservation is a good thing, and people are free to take that as far as 
they like personally.  I could care less about green lawns, really.  I 
care more about water quality and whether or not we have a water 
emergency.  I think assuming we don't have a problem is dangerous, and I 
also think that overreacting when we don't know the exact nature of the 
problem is a bad idea.  So let's find out what the state of our aquifer 
is.  I know this gem of wisdom has occurred to people before - let's 
support those efforts with an increase in funding.  Perhaps something 
could be worked out where we cooperate with other users of our aquifer 
in terms of funding.
