OPINION: Twin Tunnels Threaten San Francisco Bay

Should local salmon be pushed to extinction? Should some Bay Area residents pay much higher water bills? Should San Francisco Bay be contaminated with toxic pollutants?

My guess is that Bay Area residents would answer these questions with a resounding “no,” but these scenarios will become reality if the two 30-mile water tunnels proposed by Governor Jerry Brown are built.The tunnels have a new name since they were first proposed in  in 2012: the California Water Fix.
