Monday meeting Tom Neisler made his speech in front of the city :
“Our message is simple,” Neisler said during public comments at the July 1 Council meeting. “Continued litigation will not create new water for the city or the district or resolve other outstanding issues. Our constituents deserve better. We encourage the city's leaders to reconsider your relationship with the district. Weaponizing the grand jury, playing politics, and pursuing meritless litigation to solve the city's disagreements with the district is not a benefit to our taxpayers nor a good use of their resources. Instead, we invite the city to approach water supply issues collaboratively with a goal of maximizing the beneficial use of this limited resource without harm to the basin or other water users.”
The messages are loud and clear , WD want to settle with the city for the sage ranch . WD is not hostage against the city or SR. and i heard the rumor that WD may drop the 4th cause today .
