Salton Sea Restoration Bill might be moving forward after all …

Posted by: Aqua Blog Maven on August 28, 2007 at 12:37 pm

This today from KXO Radio in the Imperial Valley, SB 187, authored by Senator Denise Ducheny, has had a hold placed on it in the Senate Appropriations Committee. It was reported earlier this morning in the Imperial Valley Press that there was great concern about the bill not being passed before the legislative session ends on Friday. KXO adds more information to the story:

A spokesman in her [Ducheny's] Sacramento office said Tuesday all bills over $100,000 are placed in what is called “suspense.” A vote Thursday will determine if the bill is taken out of “suspense” and move forward. If the appropriations committee casts a favorable vote, the bill, SB 187, will be presented for a floor vote Friday. If the committee decides to keep the bill in “suspense” it will remain there until early next year.

The legislature will not reconvene until January. Proponents of the restoration program are very concerned that time is running out, and restoration efforts must begin as soon as possible.
