Water Plan Spending Sparks Senate Assembly Clash
In Sacramento the Senate and Assembly clash over state water development funding. The Assembly passes 2.03 billion budget with 54 million for Feathers River work but no Bay aqueduct funds, while the Senate plan tops six million in lavish additions plus 17,500 for water project studies and 4.5 million for small upstream projects. A conference committee will reconcile the two versions amid Southern California demands for no new construction until river rights are clarified. The narcotics and unemployment measures also move forward, with calls for a special session and extended benefits.
