Critics of the Governor Jerry Brown’s California Water Fix scored a victory on Wednesday.  By a 9-2 vote, the Joint Legislative Audit Committee approved a financial audit of the controversial Twin Tunnels project. The two tunnels would divert water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and deliver it to southern parts of the state.The bi-partisan vote was requested by legislators representing the San Joaquin Delta. The effort was led by Stockton Democratic Assemblymember Susan Talamantes Eggman and State Senator Lois Wolk, of Davis.
