It has the ability to exercise the power of eminent domain.The Commission was behind the DWR's infamous attempt to violate due process and force Delta landowners to allow access to land for surface borings for tunnel route data. This board of unelected officials, along with the Delta Stewardship Council (also appointed, not elected) have incredible power over the Delta's future. The only thing which will discourage these appointees from doing the Governor's (or DWR's)bidding will be a lack of funding. Voters must carefully evaluate the next State Water Bond. The devil will be in the financing details. Thanks for the opportunity to comment. Rogene Reynolds, South Delta. Rogene Reynoldsnoreply@blogger.com
