Blog: SB 559 & Friant Canal Fix
It seems that every time there’s a proposal in the Legislature to help repair the Friant-Kern Canal, something goes wrong. It happened again last month. Senate Bill 559 would have directed state money toward repairing the Friant-Kern Canal, Delta-Mendota Canal and the California Aqueduct, which are sinking due to land subsidence. The damage is hurting their ability to move water. But the bill got tripped up in the Assembly.
