My MSEE is from Illinois Institute of Technology and I have one patent. If elected to the Board of Directors of the San Benito County Water District (SBCWD), I will vote against any increase in urban water rates or property taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agribusiness uses 80 percent of San Benito County water. The SBCWD Board is dominated by members in agribusiness. If you live in Hollister, Sunnyslope or Tres Pinos or have a mutual water company, they charge you seven times more for well water than they charge agribusiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SBCWD gets 5.6 million dollars in property tax. This shows up on your tax bill as SB WATER \u2013 SAN FELIPE. Agribusiness only pays $800,000 or 14 percent of this tax. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SBCWD owes $100 million, with balloon payments that start in 2017. &nbsp;Who will make those payments?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you care about any of this, please register and vote for me. There are two potential swing votes on the SBCWD Board. I will try to work with them to protect urban water users. I have no ties to agribusiness. Please give me your vote.
