And the agency has a moral obligation to do so," he said. To make them whole." The change may only be rejected if it impairs rights without just compensation," Rose said. "Impairment alone is not a reason to reject the application. This district is acting prudently and fulfilling its obligation to serve the public." But Rose upset some of the water users at the meeting when he explained that water agencies have the power, under certain extreme circumstances, to take water rights away from individuals if it will benefit the public good. "Water agencies have eminent domain," he said. If they can't go out and get water rights, they can sometimes condemn them." Helen Sue Whitney said the comment was alarming. Those last few comments were scary. It leads us to believe the water district doesn't care about us as much as it says it does," she said. Rose said that he was not suggesting that the water agency plans to condemn individual water rights, he was only explaining the agencys legal rights. Everybody is portraying this district as some monster," he said. "These are people. Theyre your neighbors. (The agency) is not out to pull the wool over anybodys eyes."

In response to information the protestors, Brent Rose, an attorney representing GWSSA at the hearing, told the board that since no protestor had proven they have been harmed by the new wells, the water transfer must be approved.

The red ppy grew wild on the battlefield of France and Belgium during World War I, and its brilliant red flower, so much the blood shed there, became the symbol of hope and renewal for those who survived and relumed home.
