The event will feature a Hawaiian-style luau, Polynesian entertainment, silent and live auctions. The cost to attend is $125 per person or $1,250 for a table of 10, and guests are encouraged to wear their favorite island-inspired garb. Each attendee will receive a fresh Hawaiian lei upon arrival.

Less than zero

WE WERE going to begin this editorial by recommending that an armed mob storm the offices of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District, drag its general manager, attorney and board members to the nearest zoo and feed them to the lions, take them to the desert and bury them up to their necks in sand so they could be slowly pinched into oblivion by ants, or sell them to the nearest shark fisherman for bait. But why be cruel to animals? Only humans deserve to be stuck dealing with an elected group of officials who have taken such complete leave of their senses as the group that decided this week — once again — to blatantly thumb their noses at their constituents by shoving a user fee down their throats despite the repeated insistence of the public that they do not want to pay this fee. The problem — and this is the part the water board doesn’t seem to get — isn’t that the user fee is a lot of money, because it isn’t. Compared to the cost of a desal plant, the user fee is practically nothing. It’s also not that the projects the board says it will use the fee to develop aren’t needed, because they are. Reclaiming wastewater and storing winter rains underground are both fine ideas. And it also isn’t that the public doesn’t understand the severity of the water crisis they’re facing, because they do. Everybody realizes that the dead- line for the state water cutback order is right around the corner. The problem (and this is obvious to anybody not on the water board or in its 2005 employ) is that the government in general isn’t trusted to come up with the right “Sir, I can’t find anything on affordable housing. Have you tried fiction?” solution for our water problems because it is the cause of those problems in the first place.
