WAITING FOR THE OTHER SHOE TO DROP

.

Everyone awaits the new application from our foreign

would-be water thieves.  People expect it,  but the

 clock ticks on and still no word.  Yet.

Perhaps they think people will forget about them.

Not a chance Godfather.

Let's do battle!

STOP THE WATER GRAB

"As the planet dries up and water supplies are

bought up by private interests, we have begun moving

into a new economic configuration, where sprawling

cities and agribusiness operations thrive and

the wells of private citizens and local farmers

run dry."

Maude Barlow & Tony Clarke in

Corporate Theft of the World's Water

Dan Rufenacht won the $100 bill for the

BEST WATER THIEF at The Golden Spur Saloon's

Halloween Party.  Dan said he was trying to find

that perfect balance between a used car salesman

and a sleazy scumball member of some

"FAMILY" of foreign operators.

You done GOOD Dan!

"Price hikes and water quality problems often follow on the heels of privatization. While governments may expect to lower debt and transfer the costs of infrastructure repair and maintenance via privatization, the willingness of private companies to make such investments depends on the profit stream. In fact, debt reduction, increased spending for upgrades and the companies’ guaranteed profit margins will ultimately be borne by citizens through higher bills. Privatization saddles consumers with the dual responsibilities of public debt reduction and corporate profitability, usually guaranteed by governments’ contracts.

Operating as a sanctioned monopoly, a private water company is able to exploit the lack of competition. Citizens have few avenues to voice dissatisfaction with broken promises. In fact, communities’ interests are often trampled and disregarded once public control is surrendered. Without transparency or accountability, water corporations are breeding grounds for bribery, kickbacks and other forms of corruption, many cases of which have been documented in the U.S. and abroad."
