Our View: Give them some time to parse out correct management of assets
We’re not sure all citizens of Yuba County appreciate the turning point that the community is just starting to engage. And we’d like to see some wait-and-see given to management of some massive assets.
Yuba County Water Agency board chairman Brent Hastey broached the topic Friday at the county’s Perspectives 2018 – an annual business appreciation luncheon.
YCWA took over the power generating liability and benefits derived from New Bullards Bar Dam just two years ago. The money is now coming in from that. And there are already plenty of people thinking they have better ideas for how to manage the business and how to spend and disperse the revenue. They should sit back a while. There’s still a lot to learn; a lot to have some serious discussion about. (That’s our opinion.)
