It’s understandable that state Senator Anna Caballero wants to feel “great hope and guarded optimism” for Governor Newsom’s voluntary agreements (“California governor’s water negotiations leave no one behind,” Page 6A, Feb. 24). Everyone working on California water wants meaningful solutions. Unfortunately, too many are left behind in these deals and we have seen no evidence of “solutions that can benefit everyone.” Environmental justice communities of Stockton and the Bay-Delta have not been considered in the voluntary agreements plan, or in the San Joaquin Valley Blueprint. During the last year, the Delta community worked with the Newsom administration on environmental protections for the region.
