In 1995-6, I first ran for this office. Our issues then were our water, growth, community safety, traffic, environment, housing, schools, and our economy. They're the same today, only more pressing. 

We must start now to address these concerns meaningfully on a proactive, regional basis if we hope to maintain our quality of life here. To accomplish this, we must successfully balance the interests of our people, our environment, and our economy. 

Most critically, since we do not import water, we must eliminate our current approximate 100% regional groundwater overdraft. This can only be accomplished through sensible and equitable agricultural use of our water, which consumes 75% of our supply. 

Please call me at 688-2825, (en ingles o espanol) (see "www.dougforsupervisor.com "), for more clarification, information, and your critiques.
