John, did I miss it or have you not released the information on the leaker you said you were going to release on Thursday?

I did not, because I did get some responses but I have one more to get, plus I need more time, based on the responses I received, to write it all up with context, etc. I actually have an update post coming out on that I'm editing now and will post in a few hours. The names definitely will be revealed this coming week.

John, you’re a one of a kind investigative journalist working on the most important issue in the Western States, water and distribution.

I’m often told by acquaintances who have chosen to relocate to Las Vegas that the amount of investment into Las Vegas guarantees the water supply will keep coming. They cite the new rail line, tremendous hotel, stadium and performance venues as locked-in future guarantees.

I shudder at their confidence in the ultimate power of finance over nature and natural processes.

A piece on the hubris of irresponsible finance in civic planning, ignoring the realities of current water conditions, would be a much needed updated discussion primer for rebuttal to the Siren Songs of developers and investors to unethical and unsustainable communities.

Thank you for communicating the background information we public rarely have the opportunity to see.
