Editor:
Clean, abundant water is at the forefront of California politics and is a matter of survival in Antioch. Councilman Arne Simonsen has detailed knowledge of the varied and complicated issues relating to this precious commodity.
His dogged dedication to the protection the City of Antioch's water rights is unparalleled. For the City Council of Antioch not to appoint Councilman Simonsen, at this critical juncture in California's water history, to fill the vacant two-year term would be detrimental to the future of the freshwater supply in your city.
