Senate committee passes Democrats’ water plan
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee on Monday rejected the bond proposal carried by state Sen. Dave Cogdill (R-Modesto) but passed a $6.8-billion Democratic water bond that would not necessarily fund dam construction.
The full Senate is to vote today to place the Democratic bond on the February ballot. The necessary two-thirds vote requires at least two Republican votes, so passage is not certain.
