Delta Caucus leaders call on state commission to appeal tunnel project certification
Delta Caucus co-chairs, Assemblywoman Lori Wilson and Sen. Jerry McNerney on Thursday called on the Delta Protection Commission to file an official appeal of the certification “of the costly and destructive Delta Tunnel Project.” “The Legislature established the Delta Protection Commission to ‘protect, restore, and enhance the Delta ecosystem,’ so we call on the commission to appeal the certification of the Delta Tunnel Project because it will devastate communities, farms, the environment, and historic and cultural resources surrounding the largest and most important estuary on the West Coast,” Wilson, D-Suisun City, and McNerney, D-Pleasanton, said in a joint statement.
