Governor’s Delta Tunnels Scheme Sees $50 Million in Federal Funds Misspent

The twin water tunnels project pushed by Gov. Edmund Gerald Brown Jr. as a substitute for his voter-rejected Peripheral Canal have seen at least $50 million misspent by the Bureau of Reclamation, one of the supporters of the controversial project. That’s the charge by the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of the Interior, in a report Friday.
