‘We’re not at the table’: State official assures local residents will have say in new Bay-Delta plan

From Lodi Sentinel:

Karla Nemeth made no bones about it when she addressed the Walnut Grove Rotary Club on Monday. She works for the Schwarzenegger administration, which wants to ship more Delta water to the southern San Joaquin Valley and to Southern California.

“A lot of people really hate this,” Nemeth told what she envisioned to be a hostile audience full of residents of the Highway 160 corridor. “I get this.”

Rotarian Larry Emery, pastor of Walnut Grove Presbyterian Church, complained about Northern Californians, and especially Delta residents, not having sufficient representation in deciding the Delta’s future. “We don’t have any representation except at these kinds of meetings (like Rotary),” Emery said. “When it comes to decision making, we’re not at the table.”
