Losing even 10% of our aquifers would be disastrous to the country. The way they're fracking everywhere now, it's just a matter of time. Fracking is even worse than siting a locomotive fueling facility right on top of the aquifer that supplies water to all of Spokane. Despite the assurances from BNSF that it was safe, it leaked almost as soon as it opened. Luckily that leak was caught before it reached the aquifer. I'm waiting for the next one. BTW, there were other sites available. The one over the aquifer just happened to be the cheapest.

I clicked on it in your response and it went right to the site. But the site said "no articles found". Guess I'd have to agree with your opinion of them. But I guess we're lucky to have any newspaper at all. The way it keeps getting worse over the last few years I suspect we may not have one for too many years. They just upped our rate by 75 cents a month to pay for "online news". If I wanted online news I wouldn't need them at all.

Let's just say the county commissioners were pretty unpopular after that. IIRC, one or two didn't survive the next election - but that didn't get rid of the place.
