Commentary: Sacramento, Yolo and San Joaquin among counties that just won major court victory against Newsom’s plan to pay for $20 billion Delta Tunnel
… The Court of Appeal for the Third Appellate District just upheld a Sacramento County judge’s decision in 2024 that state authorities have an invalid bond plan to fund the highly embattled project. Specifically, the appellate court agreed with the original judge that the state Department of Water Resources, or DWR, lacks the authority to issue revenue bonds to pay for the massive tunnel. … Sacramento, Yolo, San Joaquin, Solano, Contra Costa, Butte and Plumas counties were major litigants against DWR in the case.
