<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Conservation can never be a bad idea but using the
water issue as a club to force other ideological visions on the community
where they don't apply (big box ordinances for one example) is disingenuous. I
don't believe that the GMA endorsed candidates are suggesting that we make a
desperate attempt to suck the aquifer dry before their terms expire. To suggest
otherwise is simply partisan politics at its worst.</FONT></DIV>
