Unlike Obama, Palin did not get a chance...

"Now this hasn't been reported yet, but it was actually Rahm's idea to... |

The treated effluent would be used on the agricultural land to water alfalfa. The district's effluent is now going into Piute Ponds, a manmade water fowl refuge, but the excess effluent is overflowing onto Rosamond Dry Lake bed, threatening... |
