    How does the law differ in different states? What has worked and what hasn’t? How have various states handled some of the challenges associated with groundwater management and regulation? Through a sampling of stories from around the West, Ms. Gibbon’s presentation will explore a range of experiences with some common challenges.

Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets.
