Editor,
Back in the ‘50s, when I was growing up, we were told in school that we couldn’t judge a President of the U.S. during his current term of office as good or bad for the country. The results of policies he implemented or signed into law would not take immediate affect, therefore we would have to wait four to eight years to tell whether they were any good or not.
So, why are we now willing to judge the new Irrigation District commissioners so quickly for the situation they found themselves? Did they really create it or is it the result of actions their predecessors generated — finally coming to the surface?
Are we fooled by the finger pointing by those who lost their control over the irrigation project? How difficult is it to see that after losing control of the FJBC, these men flexed their muscles through District control and tore the whole thing apart, assuming the resultant melee would cover their fingerprints on the damage they had covertly created as a result of their actions during their reign; kind of like dragging a tree branch behind to cover their tracks.
Just whose actions created the need for lawyers and lawsuits and debt? Whose actions generated the chaos? And who got stuck with trying to “right-the-ship,” and take the heat, after the rats had abandoned it? Seems to be some pretty serious cover up going on in this little part of the world. Apply credit for this mess where it belongs.
