Lyon on Water Governance in the USA: No Captain, No Rudder by Walter Lyon http://awramedia.org/mainblog/2010/07/29/walter-a-lyon-water-governance-in-the-usa-no-captain-no-rudder/comment-page-1/#comment-30089 Walter Lyon Wed, 04 Aug 2010 14:17:53 +0000 http://awramedia.org/mainblog/?p=1515#comment-30089 Murray Rothbard's comments suggest that he did not understand the essence of my paper. He says that I am advocating more control. The reality is that the federal government has a lot of control already but it is fragmented and lacks a policy designed to address the new problems we face as a Nation. Water cannot and should not be subject to the free market because everybody needs water to sustain life and for that reason the quality of service and price need to be controlled. That's why every state has a Public Utility Commission. Rothbard mentions the population boom in the Southwest. That happened because the nation gave water its proper role in the Reklamation Act which populated the 13 Western States. That was sound water policy, not some market. Cheers..............Walt Lyon Murray Rothbard’s comments suggest that he did not understand the essence of my paper.
