(Sacramento) - Assemblymember Alyson Huber (D-El Dorado Hills) today delivered 2000 postcards to the Governors office. The postcards are from Delta residents who are opposed to Governor Schwarzeneggers plan to build a peripheral canal. I have heard from my constituents residents of the Delta region and they have said loud and clear they oppose the construction of a peripheral canal, said Assemblymember Huber. Assemblymember Huber says Delta residents will not stand aside while the Governor and his Southern California water buddies bulldoze their way through the Delta.

(Sacramento) Assemblymember Alyson Huber (D-El Dorado Hills) has introduced a bipartisan bill which would prohibit the construction of a peripheral canal around the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta without a full fiscal analysis and a vote of the state legislature. It is important that we maintain legislative oversight of large-scale projects and not delegate that authority to unelected bureaucrats, said Assemblymember Huber. The bill would also require the non-partisan Legislative Analysts office to conduct an economic feasibility analysis to ensure that ratepayers statewide and the lawmakers who represent them - actually know how much this will cost.
