I'm being told that because local elected officials wanted the typical multi-purpose dam, instead of just a flood control dam at Auburn, that such officials were "greedy,"

From my lips ... and here's more ..

1) California has adequate water for agriculture, even on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley.
2) Flood control, which is necessary, is a much more cost effective than storage.
3) The clamor for more storage is to support social development, not farms.
4) The goal of modern environmentalism is the destruction of the concept of private property.

First of all, it was from your fingers, not your lips!

1) Prove it.

2) Prove that, too.

3) Where's you evidence?

4) You left out Capitalism and an exceptional Christian nation's continued economic success that dominates and benefits the entire planet!!! (including the use of multipurpose dams and reservoirs!!!)
