Harry S Truman

Our speaker will be Congressman George Miller,
With special appearances by members of his posse*
*Doris Matsui, Ami Bera, & Phil Angelides

George Miller, Nancy Pelosi’s strong right arm and one of the top Democratic legislators of his
generation, is stepping down at the end of this year after four decades in Congress. At 68, he
may be the closest thing the House has to its own version of a Teddy Kennedy — stripped of the
Camelot drama but with the same fire and imposing presence on the floor of the chamber.
Like Kennedy, Miller came to Washington as a young man and heir to his own established political
family in California’s Contra Costa County. Like Kennedy again, he was a force in party politics but
ultimately legislation became his wheelhouse — most especially bills impacting education, labor
rights, and Western land and water issues.

RSVP to Ruth Gottlieb at 647-4080 or gottliebandassoc@comcast.net by Thursday October 2 (so we can order enough lunches. And let Ruth know if you CAN’T attend as we have to pay for every unused lunch which means less money to fight the forces of evil.

With the drought in full force and our state preparing to weigh in on the proposed $7.5 billion water bond in November, Harry has lined up an update on California’s Civil War about water for his September luncheon. Our speakers will be Jerry Meral and Jonas Minton with Lisa Beutler moderating. Jerry Meral was, until recently, Gov. Jerry Brown’s top water official and a major figure in the controversial, $25 billion water project. He is widely regarded as one of California’s most accomplished preservationists. Jonas Minton is the Water Policy Advisor for the Planning and Conservation League. He previously served California as a Deputy Director at the Department of Water Resources and chaired the State Desalination Task Force. Minton and Meral are old buddies—they go rafting together—so we hope they won’t be slinging a lot of mud, considering the drought, but that’s Lisa’s problem. Lisa Beutler will be our Moderator/Referee. Lisa is Executive Facilitator for the California Water Plan. A sworn Delta Plan agnostic, she was formerly with the Center for Collaborative Policy where a typical day included mediating wicked, intractable disputes. Not the first time in the ring with Minton and Meral, she plans to have a few metaphorical yellow and blue flags up her sleeve. PS Congressman George Miller will be our speaker Thursday, October 9.
