Voter Guide: Santa Clara Valley Water District

Original post made on Oct 22, 2014

The winner in the race for a single seat at the Santa Clara Valley Water District will take on major challenges if elected to represent District 7 this November. He will face a deepening drought and lingering problems with downstream flooding when the rains do come. Two candidates, incumbent and board Vice Chairman Brian Schmidt and challenger Gary Kremen, are seeking the seat.

Gary Kremen is a few years too late. Where was he when the SCVWD Board was called the Golden Spigot? Brian's election a few years ago has done much to correct the problems of overspending, and board ignoring of the public. New personnel have been on top of problems and Brian's environmental knowledge has changed much of the boards direction. I am proud to be a supporter for Brian.

@Jay Hess - agreed 100% - enthusiastically voted for Brian.

One thing is certain we need flood protection.... against big money trying to buy out elections.

Brian seems most to enjoy taxpayer funded trips to Washington DC to meet the First Lady. He also is editor and contributor of a blog that tolerates hateful comments against the military and Brian himself has written several politically bigoted rants against "the right" in the fine tradition of Ed Schultz. I thought we would want a more balanced politically neutral board member.
