MCWRA provides comments to the Proposed Principles for Developing a Water Bond
In May, Assembly Speaker John Pérez appointed a working group in the Democratic caucus, to lead a program to brief Democratic Assemblymembers on the water bond and water issues generally. The Speaker also stated publicly that work on the water bond would not start until after passage of the budget. He appointed Assemblymember Anthony Rendon to chair the Water Bond Working Group (Working Group). Working Group members organized water policy briefings for their colleagues from their regions. Briefings included speakers and discussion about water policy and the potential needs for water bond funding.
Drawing on these briefings and discussions, the Water Bond Working Group began discussing principles for developing a water bond after passage of the State Budget. The Working Group then identified priorities and accountability measures for developing a water bond that would gain the support of 2/3 of the Legislature and the voters. The Working Group’s proposed principles (the Principles) accompany this brief background and may be found at: http://awpw.assembly.ca.gov/waterbondreferencedocuments
