In the Legislature yesterday I had the opportunity to question Environment Minister Rob Renner on an $85 million settlement recently given to the Western Irrigation District – the very same irrigation district who bailed out the Balzac Megamall and racetrack plan when they were unable to attain the water licenses they needed. Considering these are tax dollars, the lack of transparency is very disturbing. I’ve attached an article below with some of the details, and you can listen to the podcast of my questions from the Legislature.
