MAIN CAMPAIGN ISSUE: To ensure that the taxpayers' interests come first, the district must ensure a reliable and safe supply at the least cost. OTHER ISSUES OF CONCERN: The Northridge Earthquake severed the one pipeline connecting the district with the State Water Project, which provides the drinking water drinking water supply of water available to animals for drinking supplied via nipples, in troughs, dams, ponds and larger natural water sources; an insufficient supply leads to dehydration; it can be the source of infection, e.g. leptospirosis, salmonellosis, or of poisoning, e.g. for two-thirds of Ventura County. Although the pipeline supply was restored quickly, that experience shows the need to develop a secondary supply in emergencies. SOUND BITE: ``I think that participating in government is the most basic civic responsibility. We need to ensure that solid, middle-class values are represented and not just the long-term special interests of the people who have almost been professional politicians. I think it's certainly not going to be bad to have fresh blood.'' CAPTION(S): Photo Photo: Ted Grandsen |
