We will have to find balance between environmental protection and right to a decent life. It is big moral dilemma: humans first or nature? I have never covered such story in my environment blog Greendiary (www.greendiary.com). I will keep a close watch on your environment coverage. For article ideas.
One watchdog group calls Pombo one of the most corrupt of all members in Congress today. You quoted McCloskey as saying Pombo has vast land holdings in the district. Do you have any idea how much is he profiting from the current water rights arrangement, and how much he could profit from the bill allowing property owners to file claims under the takings provision?
I haven't done that math myself, but it's possible someone has, somewhere. Let's find out. I would be worthwhile to get some idea of the dollar figures on Pombo's potential benefit from all this stuff.

Keep me posted on what your come up with.
