Four of Oil Grab Sponsors Tie to Water Plan
In Sacramento four of the five sponsors of Long Beach tidelands crab bill back linking the measure to California’s vast water development plan. Assemblyman Bruce Allen and coauthor Lindsay say they will amend the bill to use Long Beach funds for Feather River projects and other parts of the program, with about 150 million available immediately and roughly 30 million annually thereafter. Lindsay argues the program would boost state purchasing power, while opponents warn it misuses Long Beach funds. A hearing by the conservation committee is not expected for about 30 days.
