Control of water will make or break cities, regions, nations. <br /><br />So what's the first thing the supposedly water-savvy Milwaukee area officials look at doing? Lock in a 99-year deal that hands over control of Wisconsin water to a private company whose only responsibility is to their own shareholders.<br /><br />I know, I know: they haven't done it yet. But think -- what's the price of water gonna be in 20 years or 80 years? What with global warming, drought and over-development elsewhere? No reason to think that water will be metered accurately or managed in the public interest.<br /><br />Which would you rather have? The 6 magic beans now -- or an intact system and water for the next 100 years?johnsturgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-1202680142015908492009-05-11T17:30:00.000-05:002009-05-11T17:30:00.000-05:00Where did you get this information?Where did you get this information?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-7442071372727805042009-05-11T17:29:00.000-05:002009-05-11T17:29:00.000-05:00Yes!!!Yes!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
