steinbergFrom the Office of Senator Darrell Steinberg:

“Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento) released the following statement on the status of the water package:

“We will not be moving the water bills this evening. Everyone agrees that we are close and that we have made a decade’s worth of progress in just a few weeks but there is still some more work to do.

We will continue to negotiate in the coming weeks and we will bring the package up for a vote. I encourage the Governor to call a Special Session on water.

I remain confident that the legislature can pass a comprehensive water package that will restore the Delta’s fragile ecosystem and ensure a reliable water supply for California’s economic growth.” “
