Our thoughts on the h2ohio plan

Governor DeWine needs to realize this is a war in and about water... not just a battle on land. 

Nowhere in his 10-point plan listed below does he address the groundwater issues that contribute to roughly 50% of the problem. Using the same old approaches will guarantee that this plan will fail, as it has for years.

We believe the state will squander away yet another $172 Million by following the same direction the previous administration followed for 8 years. As Albert Einstein said, "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." 

We understand the importance of farming. Farming is the backbone of our country. Maintaining high levels of farm production is extremely vital to us and the world. However, rivers and lakes are not built for this level of production. They follow the rules of nature and science, not the rules of lobbyists, and we should treat them as such. We cannot keep marching down this same road, depleting our most important natural resource. We are destroying the very water system that accounts for 95% of our country's fresh water supply! 

If we do not change our approach to this problem today, we create an even bigger problem for our children and grandchildren tomorrow. Unfortunately, by that time, it may be too late.
