… Recently the governor used his May budget revision to fast-track the Delta Conveyance Project, saying that was a critical addition to the State Water Project. That announcement drew criticism from opponents. The 15-member Delta Caucus — a bipartisan group of lawmakers representing Delta communities — sent a letter to Newsom and legislative leaders saying they are “unanimous in strong opposition to the governor’s proposal to fast-track the Delta tunnel.” One of the caucus members is State Sen. Christopher Cabaldon (D-Yolo), who previously served as the mayor of West Sacramento for two decades. Cabaldon recently spoke with Insight Host Vicki Gonzalez about the caucus’s opposition to the Delta Conveyance Project, and the alternative methods that could help meet the state’s water needs.
