From YubaNet.com:

Assembly Speaker Karen Bass (D-Los Angeles) announced today the California State Assembly has approved four bills to help resolve the current crisis in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the heart of California’s water system and the most valuable estuary on the west coast of North and South America. These bills reflect recommendations from Governor Schwarzenegger’s Delta Vision Blue Ribbon Task Force and Cabinet Committee.

“The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta is a critical respiratory system for California’s water supply and ecosystem,” Bass said. “These bills represent important steps in preventing the collapse of the Delta, which would have catastrophic effects on the health of our environment and economy.”

The bill authors include participants in the Speaker’s 60-day process to review the Delta Vision Strategic Plan and consider how best to fix the Delta.
