If the county doesn't take the lead in the lawsuit, we're going to do what we have to. We're trying to diversify our economy as we've been asked to and we're not being allowed to do it.

I've been to enough meetings and heard enough rhetoric that I believe they are not going to stop here.

What scares me is if we have a year like this and then the we have a week of 100-degree weather. It can be Katie-bar-the-door.

What scares the hell out of me is they're not leaving any room for error (in the reservoir). Just like in 2003, once it starts, they can't stop it.

It comes down to whether county government has a moral responsibility to protect its citizens.

If they do these spills for three out of the nest four years then these guys are out of business.
