- Judge Wanger Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Water Supply Ruling Impact
-
Judge Wanger made a ruling in 2007 that ordered a historic reduction in supplies from the Delta. The single largest court-ordered water curtailment in state history. California simply cannot lose important water supplies without economic consequences. The Delta needs a comprehensive solution including new ways to isolate the impacts of water diversions from the estuary.
- San Diego County Water Authority Water Rate Challenge Against Metropolitan Water District of Southern California
-
Water Authority Board about four years ago approved filing suit against the MWD challenging the methodology for determining water rates. The allegation is that their methodology unfairly places a disproportionate cost burden on the Water Authority. San Diego County ratepayers may be overcharged as much as $230 million annually by 2021. The Water Authority Board of Directors is approaching this issue properly. The Water Authority prevailed in court and the case is under appeal.
- Budget Deficit Elimination Program - James Peasley's Record of Protecting Rate Players
-
Soon after being sworn into office nearly four years ago I discovered, under the watch of the prior Board of Directors, that Padre Dam was running annual deficits in the millions of dollars. As an advocate of the rate payers this needed to be dealt with and resolved quickly. By making budget reductions and reducing staff by 19% we've been able to save ratepayers millions of dollars annually. Proven results matter!
