‘If you don’t agree with me, you must be corrupt’

THIS WEEK, the mayors of the six Monterey Peninsula cities made a very wise decision when they voted not even to bother with a study of the notorious Measure O, which is the latest attempt by local activists to take over Cal Am. You’ll have the chance to vote, “No,” on this counterproductive ballot mea- sure in June. It’s very important that you do, because if the measure passes, it will create a major stumbling block to the new water supply this community very badly needs in favor of something that is by no means needed now, or maybe even ever — namely, public ownership of the company that provides our water. Even if a strong case could be made that government control of the water sup- ply would benefit the public (which it can’t), there is no rational reason to force the issue now, when so many more important difficulties with our supply of water are at hand, namely, that we are desperately short of it, and are about to get a lot shorter. Meanwhile, the pro-takeover folks are not only forcing this community to waste a lot of time, money and effort to dispose of their silly initiative, they are creating an ugly atmosphere as they try to get their way. Some of the criticisms they’ve leveled at the numerous public officials who oppose the takeover are truly shameful. 1991 “We want three bedrooms, two baths, a family room and an ocean view.
