Editorial on California Water Plan bond election issues
State Assemblymen John Williamson and Dorothy Donahoe and State Senator Walter Stiern urge residents to evaluate the California Water Plan bond vote on practical needs rather than slogans. They argue the bond funds would fund a wide reservoir system and power infrastructure, with the measure designed to be self supporting and guided by modern water use policies. They caution against emotional rhetoric and say Governor Brown may convene a special session if needed to inform voters.
