Water policy in California has been the playground of the left (or statists, socialists, or whatever label is used) for many years. It gave Peter Gleick the opportunity to start the Pacific Institute in Oakland, California from where he launched his advocacy on global warming (read “climate evolution”).
Unfortunately for the Pacific Institute, its founder was caught in fraudulently obtaining documents from the Heartland Institute. In addition, there is another unresolved legal issue, whereby a forensic analysis has determined that Peter Gleick is likely the author of the faked Heartland strategy memo disseminated to the media by Gleick (click here).
Now we read that Gleick has been reinstated at the Pacific Institute. No specific details are provided as to basis of this decision. Click here for the details……Click here for the forensic analysis….
This reinstatement is unacceptable as long as unresolved questions remain regarding whether Mr. Gleick violated the law.
As a California tax payer, I strongly object to any state funding of the Pacific Institute. Further, I storngly encourage water suppliers in the State of California to not participate in the water rates study or any other water study of the Pacific Institute until the legal clouds engulfing Mr. Gleick are resolved.
