California legislators on Tuesday voiced their support for Senate Bill 872 — a bill aimed at reinforcing Delta levees and the State Water Project by directing $300 million annually to the state’s water infrastructure upgrades and repairs.
The news conference followed the introduction of the bill in January month by Sen. Jerry McNerney, D-Pleasanton, who on Tuesday emphasized the urgency of addressing California’s aging levees.
