[Vision2020] Water Sale Bill

[Joe Campbell]

Well I'm not going to drink the snow melt from my sidewalk. It would  
be easier to just move to a town with running tap water.

I'm not saying we can't figure out ways to use the rain and snow. But  
a sensible, conservative approach would be to figure that out first,  
before you sell the drinkable water we have now.
