Sunne Wright McPeak is President of the Delta Vision Foundation
McPEAK: "Most of the implementation is maybe a third of where it should be?"
There are about two dozen government and private interests charged with carrying out the plan. Almost all receive a "B" grade for leadership, but get a "C-minus" for work on the Delta Ecosystem and a "D-plus" on the water conveyance system.
A bond measure dealing with the delta and water supply could be on the ballot next fall. Jim Earp is with the California Alliance for Jobs.
EARP: "At the end of the day, we're either taxpayers or we're water users. We're going to have to pay for it one way or the other. We're going to have to. I think taxpayers recognize that."
The foundation invited the government agencies and private
groups to respond to the report card and most did… with requests
for more even more feedback.
