Recommendation by Robert C. Diltz secretary manager of the Shafter Wasco Irrigation District asks Congressman Bill Ketchum to act. He says removing the 160 acre limit would save large amounts of electrical energy and is needed for efficiency.
Longtime Kern County official Ray A. Vercammen announced this week his candidacy in the June primary for reelection as Kern County Recorder. In office since 1958 following Charles H. Shomate’s retirement, Vercammen touts ongoing efficiency and modern methods to cut costs while maintaining staffing. He cites proposed changes to the 160 acre limit of the Reclamation Act and notes potential energy savings from reduced pumping among irrigation districts, projecting broader regional benefit from Project water reallocations.
Diltz argues that suspending the acreage limitation during floods mirrors wartime practice and that the energy shortage crisis may pose a financial disaster comparable to past flooding. He urges serious study of the area.
A Senate bill by Senator Dennis E. Carpenter would raise basic hunting licenses from 6 to 10 and inland fishing stamps from 1 to 2 while boosting commercial registrations and processing fees. The measure would also extend free licenses to certain low income seniors and long-term residents over 62.
