Commentary: Water Bond is Bipartisan Need
From The Fresno Bee, in a commentary by Assembly Republican Leader Connie Conway and Assembly Member Henry T. Perea:
“Not too long ago, in 2009, the Legislature passed a comprehensive water bond with bipartisan support. It has been postponed twice for many reasons but namely because of concerns that it will not receive voter approval.
“Since then, there has been talk around the Capitol about reopening the 2009 bond — which was the best available option at the time and took nearly a decade to negotiate.”
