Area tribal leaders, river and groundwater protection advocates announced today they will oppose Proposition 1, the State Water Bond, at a Redding news conference on Monday, Oct. 27.
“The Sacramento River and the tax payers of California deserve better than this water bond. This bond does little for fisheries, little for multi-benefit flood protection projects needed in Northern California, and little to provide short or long term solutions to the water problems in our state,” said Lucas Ross-Merz, of the Sacramento River Preservation Trust.
