"Whiskey's for drinking, water's for fighting"

Can't remember who first said that, but he or she had plenty of history to prove the point. The wet spring that just ended might pull our attention away from the water challenge we're facing. Since increasing the Valley's food security is a core principle of our campaign, it looms even larger for us.

Here's a summary of my view on Jackson County's water future. If you've been working on or thinking about this issue, I'd really like to hear your views. What's completely clear to me is that we can't afford to punt on this issue until we hit the wall two, three or ten years from now. The stakes are too high. Your thoughts?
