Your Support and Endorsement is Appreciated!

Dear Supporter:


I am requesting the support and endorsement of the Monterey County Business PAC for my election campaign for District 5 – Monterey Peninsula Water Management District.

Water challenges are significant in our area. Previous efforts have improved our water availability; however some of those efforts have now reached their maximum contribution. My opponent, a spokesperson for the Sierra Club, will certainly have the support of all of those who stand in the way of the solution. I support the following positions in our district:

1. A renewable, replaceable water supply that reduces the amount of water that we are currently taking from both the Carmel Valley Watershed and the Seaside aquifer.
2. We need to protect the endangered steelhead and other endangered species in the Carmel Valley River basin.
3. Further water conservation efforts must be employed.

I have the leadership qualities and management skills to excel as a Trustee. I have had a long history of community service on the Monterey Peninsula. In 1984, the Directors of the Hospice of the Monterey Peninsula requested I become a member of the Board. Soon afterwards, I became Chair. I participated in the expansion and relocation of the Hospice to the Old Capital Tract in Monterey. I was appointed by the Board of Supervisors to the Monterey County Workforce Investment Board and currently serve as the Chairperson. In addition, I serve as a Trustee of the Monterey Wine Education foundation.


The current Water Board has made great efforts in working together to achieve solutions. If the makeup of the Board changes dramatically, we will certainly return to the old method of accomplishing nothing.

I request your vote and support for my campaign to move in the right direction!

Respectfully,

Bob Brower

Statement of Candidate - Water Board District 5

Here are my qualifications for office. I ask for your vote

What are the Water Board Issues?

Much has been done with the Monterey Penninsula Water Board over the years, however the work is not complete!

We need:

1) A replacement water supply that reduces the amount of water "take" from the Carmel Valley Watershed.

2) To protect the endangered steelhead and other endangered species in the Carmel Valley river basin.

3) To protect our Carmel Valley River environment.

4) Improve all efforts for "Conservation of Water"

What Effect Will Global Warming have on us!

This is Greenland from 30,000 feet in June 2007. What effect will Global weather (global warming) have on the Monterey Peninsula water supply?
