Mokeolumne River Wild and Scenic. My views on this issue. ~ Letter To the Editor By Charles E Dudley Jr
Jackson, CA...I've been watching this ongoing issue and reading across all who present sides on this plus studying past history of instances of the "Water Wars" that occurred long ago. The past on this issue runs deep into our national history of ranching and farming that helped build and feed this nation. The past is not pretty...
There are no true winners in this W&S venture as some would think. He who controls the water also controls the local economy and yes livelihood of other's private and commercial businesses in the effected region. This is just simple common logic and common sense from long ago when there were water wars that effected cattle ranchers and farmers across the whole nation long ago. Lots of ranchers lost whole herds or had to sell early due to these water wars. It hurt millions and cost millions of dollars in lost incomes. It ruined far to many a hard working ranch and farm owners in those days.
Today it is not only cattle ranchers and the farmer but grape growers as well. Seems the water wars of long ago are back again. Only now it is the conservationists against the working man or family instead of the rich and wealthy against the new up and coming rancher or farmer as it was back then.
Has anybody thought that deep on this issue?
Who could be hurt the most that it might drive them out of business and their future livelihoods is a huge question here.
