Waiting until something specific has been proposed, like 3200, for example, would be wise.<br /><br />After all, until all the plans are finalized, it is not worth discussing anything at all. I guess the same goes with the sewer in Los Osos. We should wait until the County has finalized their plan before criticizing it or supporting it in any way.<br /><br />:)Shark Inlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07308339749797881391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13758431.post-76989701201482767812009-09-10T17:58:17.024-07:002009-09-10T17:58:17.024-07:00Did you notice the POTUS said last night that ther...Did you notice the POTUS said last night that there are only 30 million uninsured citizens as compared to 47 million unisured he said there were 3 weeks ago?<br /><br />When putting together the numbers it is important to actually know final figures, don't cha think?Watershed Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06717188673263291686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13758431.post-49138223918026473972009-09-10T17:55:02.521-07:002009-09-10T17:55:02.521-07:00Steve,
