Aliso Creek needs to have habitat restored and water quality improved. This project is so important to Supervisor Pat Bates district that the project is listed on the 2010 Legislative Priorities for Orange County. At a recent Supervisors meeting, Pat Bates spoke about how much her district would like to see Aliso Creek work started, but there are projects that need to be done that only the Army Corps of Engineers can do.
And John Campbell won't ask for the Army Corps of Engineers to do the work or for the money.
Because he doesn't believe in spending money for allowing people to use the beach without swimming in fecal coliform.
Aliso Creek has needed work for a long time. The recent build out of South County has put even more pressure on the watershed and adding to the urgency to get work going. But John Campbell won't ask the Corp of Engineers to do the project or ask for the money. Many times projects and money are given higher priority (meaning they get funded) if the Representative from the district the project is in asks for the money. But, because Representative John Campbell won't ask for his district, the project is pushed down in priority.
How much longer do we want to swim in poo-poo water thanks to Rep. Campbell?
