We need to have public buy-in on this, and using inflammatory language isn't going to help that happen.

my recommendation is to take a less inflammatory approach to this if you want to get your idea across.

we are not going to get this solved unless we have the public trust.

going to the private sector and letting them take care of it is not going to really engender public acceptance.

I cannot accept a massive canal or tunnel that would severely degrade the water quality for the entire Delta.

So then by building massive tunnels in the Delta where people who live there are adamantly opposed and are not included in the discussion and have been excluded from the process, is that okay?

The decline of the Delta ecosystem has important human implications, as you may know.

these hallowed grounds should be maintained and operated at the highest level of excellence.

I also want to delve further into the current reforms underway to make sure that we stay on the right track of increased efficiency and efficacy.

What would be the waiting time for a family that wanted to have their loved one interred there at ANC?
