Opinion: Dick Spotswood: Group Behind Water Pipeline Lawsuit Should Exhibit Transparency

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that someone filed a lawsuit to stop the Marin Municipal Water District’s proposed water pipelines across the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.

This is another example that in America — alone in the developed world — when anyone is displeased with decisions made by elected officials they instantly go to court. The result is inevitable whether or not the disgruntled claimants ultimately lose their case. Taxpayers and water users will pay more to fund the litigation and endure cost increases resulting when projects are interminably delayed.
