Delta Tunnel plan touted by Newsom gets push-back from Congress member
California’s long-discussed “Delta tunnels” project is on the front-burner again. Last week, Governor Gavin Newsom announced sweeping legislation that would fast-track infrastructure projects across the state. That announcement included the latest version of a tunnel project in the Delta, which would divert Sacramento River water and ultimately send it to Southern California. Congressman Josh Harder, who represents the Stockton area and has been opposed to the Delta tunnels project for five years, is speaking out against the governor’s move. Harder and other advocacy groups say the project could negatively impact the ecosystem of the Delta in the San Joaquin Valley.
