… In his May Revision, Newsom endorsed a proposal to fast track housing production and urged lawmakers to do the same for the controversial Delta Conveyance Project. Specifics weren’t available Tuesday, but main components of two bills to streamline the California Environmental Quality Act to speed housing projects would be included in future trailer bills, according to the Senate analysis. Lawmakers declined to take action to cut red tape on the Delta Conveyance Project, a long-discussed plan to divert water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta down to Southern California. The governor had said the project was necessary for climate adaptation, and should bypass unneeded delays. There were no details about why lawmakers rejected the governor’s suggestion, although several legislators recently voted to audit the project, a proposal that was ultimately shot down.
