Dictos on water


question: 
Some areas of the county struggle with chronic water shortages. How would you balance that problem with development pressures?
answer: 

The County does not need to approve all developments.

Our neighboring counties have successfully withstood pressure from developers. Sprawling housing, cheap and expensive, contributes to bad air and adds to the demand for services and water. Someone has to pay for this. At this time neither the county nor the city–with a deficit of $66 million dollars–can afford to pay.
