A measure set for inclusion on California’s 2016 ballot could imperil a plan backed by Gov. Jerry Brown to build a pair of underground tunnels to divert water around the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.
The California Public Vote on Bonds Initiative, also known as the “No Blank Checks Initiative,” qualified for inclusion on the 2016 ballot after supporters turned in the 585,407 signatures required, the Secretary of State’s office announced Monday. The measure collected at least 643,948 projected valid signatures.
The measure would require statewide voter approval for any state infrastructure project financed by bond revenue, provided the project’s cost exceeds $2 billion. The proposal would also prevent agencies from dividing projects into smaller units to avoid the statewide approval process. For the full article click here
