Salton Sea Authority goes begging local governments for funds

From MyDesert.com:

Salton Sea Authority members are asking the local governments they represent to toss the group a life preserver – more money to keep it afloat.  The authority projects it will have only $97 in available funds by the end of April.

Riverside County supervisors at their meeting today will consider giving the authority $25,000 for day-to-day operations.  “It will allow us some clerical support,” said Supervisor Roy Wilson, an authority member.

Other authority members, including the Coachella Valley Water District, Imperial County and the Imperial Irrigation District, have been or will also be asked to make a similar-sized payment.

“It should get us through another six months or so while we assess what the state is going to do,” Wilson said.
