Democrats Break With Governor, Demand Vote on Water Tunnels

Six Northern California Democrats are breaking from Gov. Jerry Brown to demand a vote on his proposed tunnels to send water to Southern California. Democratic Assemblywoman Susan Talamantes Eggman of Stockton said Friday that she’ll introduce a bill to ask voters about the $15.5 billion project.

 

The Democratic governor has proposed building two massive tunnels in the San Joaquin Delta to supply residents and farmland further south.
