Gregoire sends correct message on water needs | Yakima Herald-Republic www.yakima-herald.com/stories/2010/07/05/gregoire-..
The Governor's message may be correct, but actions speak louder than words and, thus far, the Governor has taken no action. The Governor, her agencies, tribal interests, and environmentalists are all seeking "consensus" to address water needs in the Yakima Basin. Let's all remember what Margaret Thatcher said about "Consensus" ...
"To me consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects—the process of avoiding the very issues that have to be solved, merely because you cannot get agreement on the way ahead. What great cause would have been fought and won under the banner "I stand for consensus"?"
Margaret thatcher also said, "Consensus is the absence of leadership." Governor Gregoire, now is the time for action and real leadership. http://chum.ly/n/1d2871
