Editorial: Rural North Tells State to Listen Up

From the Chico Enterprise-Record:

“Our view: If the aim of secession threats is to draw attention to our complaints in the rural north, it’s working. …

“But if they read more than just the headline, they learn why we’re upset. …

“They think our natural resources, especially water, are a commodity to share. They pass one-size-fits-all regulations … ”

Lincoln Residents Could Face Hefty Water Bill Increases

From The Sacramento Bee:

Commentary: Siskiyou Wants to Leave California? Why Not Let ‘Em?

From The Sacramento Bee, a commentary by Bruce Maiman:

“A friend who manages 60 people in an industry known for high turnover takes the practical view: ‘If they don’t wanna be here, I don’t wanna keep ’em.’

“That should be our approach to Siskiyou County. Supervisors there last week voted 4-1 in favor of seceding from California to become the state of ‘Jefferson.’”

Editorial: Congress Should Act on Berryessa Snow Mountain Bill

From The Sacramento Bee:

“The rugged 100-mile stretch from Lake Berryessa to 7,000-foot Snow Mountain is making its way, slowly but surely, to national status.

“That will be good for the gateway communities, for ranchers and farmers who want to protect traditional uses, for those seeking access to prime outdoor recreation, for those seeking better management of public assets.”

Editorial: Rural Counties Feel Left Out of California Dream

From the San Francisco Chronicle:

“Rural California feels left out of the California Dream, ignored, kicked around and over-taxed in its estimation. The poster child for this cause is Siskiyou County, one of the state’s most remote and poorest entities on the Oregon border. …

“The straight up notion of secession is far-fetched.

Siskiyou Supervisors Support Withdrawal from California

From the Redding Record Searchlight:

“The Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 on Tuesday to support the county’s split from the state of California.

Blog: ‘Delta Tunnel Project is Still Stuck with Unacceptable Baggage’

From the Northern California Water Association (NCWA) Blog in a post by Tib Belza, Chair, NCWA Bay-Delta Task Force:

“Recently in the Sunday Forum, The Sacramento Bee editorial board advanced that the ‘Delta tunnel project is still stuck with unacceptable baggage.’ The Bee captured the upstream water supplier perspective very accurately when it provided:

“In the Bay-Delta processes, the state and federal agencies ’still haven’t provided guarantees to north state water users that their water supplies and ecosystems won’t be harmed by tunnel diversions….’”

Editorial: County Needs Enforcement, Not Tougher Pot Law

From the Redding Record Searchlight:

“Shasta County supervisors — hearing complaints from irate rural residents who’ve seen neighborhoods go to pot and keen to demonstrate some action — are once again talking about outright banning any growing of marijuana in the unincorporated county.

“They’re right to want to do something. … Illegal water diversions, unlicensed use of pesticides and poisons, and illegal squatting on property have become all too common.

Editorial: Even Best Case for Delta Tunnels Holds Zero for North

From the Redding Searchlight:

“The question of the day was simple enough: When it comes to the state’s multibillion-dollar proposal to build tunnels diverting Sacramento River water around the Delta to points south, ‘How will Sacramento Valley interests be addressed?’

“But the answers at a forum in Chico last week were as complex — and polarized — as you’d expect.”

Commentary: Clear Rules Would Ease Pot Cultivation Problems

From The Sacramento Bee:

“As leaders in California’s maturing medical cannabis industry, we are well aware of the potential environmental impacts associated with cannabis cultivation.
