Before Sacramento City Council by Richard Mersereau, President
November 27, 2001, Mayor
Fargo, Honorable City Council Members, City Manager Thomas, and
Fellow Taxpayers: My name is
Richard Mersereau. I am a resident of Fair Oaks, and I am the elected

protection for the Sacramento Valley has put The Sacramento Bee
in a number of different positions as to what facilities should
be
Arsenic
In Water
May 18, 2001, former President Clinton's decision
to lower the allowable amount of arsenic in drinking water, made
on his last day in office.
The
Case for an Auburn Dam
February 18th will be the fifteenth anniversary of
the devastating 1986 flood that came within minutes and inches of
topping Sacramento's levees
History
of Auburn Dam
The Taxpayers League has supported the Auburn Dam
for years.
Following
the Tobacco Money Trail
In California, the major legislation involved in
disbursing many millions of dollars from tobacco users and producers
stems from tax increases approved by Propositions 99 and 10, and
by a settlement agreement involving lawsuits by 40 states, including
California, against the tobacco industry.
Solid
Waste Disposal Crisis
PROBLEM - Sacramento County will run out of disposal
space at its Kiefer Landfill by year 2001
Business
Plan For Refuse Enterprise Fund
PROBLEM - The Waste Management System consists of
the Kiefer Landfill
Milking
the Cash Cow
The Sacramento County Taxpayers League has always
been opposed to city and county elected officials acting like bankers,
using Sacramento taxpayers as guarantors of loans made to private
investors, and as providers of selective direct and tax subsidies
to commercial enterprises.
Flood
Control for the Sacramento Valley Along the American River
It is irrefutable that the Sacramento Valley needs
greater flood protection as demonstrated by the devastating floods
of 1986, 1995 and 1997.
