Finish of drought brings
no peace of thoughts
Re: “Bracing for flooding from report snowmelt” (Web page A1, April 12).
I felt a noticeable frustration once I learn this text. Given the big quantities of snow and rain in California, you’ll suppose it was a very good factor since California has been a goal of drought and wildfires for many years, however now we see that locations such because the Sierra and San Joaquin are flooding with water. As an alternative of simply counting on levees and the river, water methods like these present in Monterey might be created.
If California retains its governing type of out-of-sight-out-of-mind, absolutely issues like this one and plenty of extra will reoccur endlessly.
The California authorities wants to start out having a look at historical past and perceive that so as to curb these issues one should put together for them. Take notes on what was performed earlier than and apply them. If something, we needs to be giving not less than the farmers some peace of thoughts.

With a view to present the paper helps equal justice for all, you possibly can appropriate this by publishing such a big front-page article on the impacts to the household of each different mom that goes to jail this yr.
