“I want to be crystal clear. Fast-tracking the Delta Conveyance Project (DCP) is a direct attack on our region’s environmental integrity, economic stability and public trust,” Assemblymember Lori Wilson (D-Suisun City) warned Gov. Newsom. Wilson, a member of the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC), was speaking at a press conference on May 20 at the State Capitol organized to push back against the Governor’s plans to speed up $20 billion worth of improvements to the State Water Project (SWP), a tunnel that delivers water from Northern California to areas in the south of the state. … Other Delta Caucus members — a bipartisan group of lawmakers representing counties in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, where the tunnel begins — also attended, along with officials from the Delta Coalition of Counties, regional environmental leaders and tribal leaders from the Delta.
