Restoring the delta
Article Abstract:
Preservation of California's Delta is the mission of the California Water Policy Council and the Federal Ecosystem Directorate (CALFED). Four to eight billion dollars will be needed to implement the restoration and improvement of Delta's water supply. The 1994 Bay Delta Accord signed by Gov. Pete Wilson will set aside an average of one million acre-feet of water a year to keep river flows high enough to begin restoring the Delta's environmental integrity. Other alternative propositions are presented through the combined efforts of the state and federal officials to finally end California's water problem.

Gadfly extraordinaire: Ron Unz is hardly, as The New Republic suggests, the man who 'controls California', but few in the state have had more influence over the state's public agenda in recent years
Article Abstract:
Ron K Unz appeared on California's political scene in 1994 with an attention grabbing primary challenge to incumbent Republican governor Pete Wilson. He made a successful effort to undo the state's bilingual education system, but this willingness to self-finance his efforts has brought him criticism. However most who know him claim it would be unwise to simply dismiss him as just another high-handed millionaire. He handles most of his day to day campaigning himself, promoting himself and his causes mainly through the Internet, and travelling without an entourage.

Building bridges
Article Abstract:
Economic analysts prescribe regional economic planning for alleviating the economic inequality plaguing the San Francisco Bay Area, CA. Despite the interdependence in the region's economic interests and activities, policies continue to be drafted separately. Urban centers, suburban and rural areas all compete for economic dominance instead of collaboration. Local governments fail to realize the regional impact of their policies, and as a result, regional development in the area has remained stagnant.
