Welcome back! Here’s the weekend wrap-up:

At the top of the scroll: Gov. Jerry Brown wrote, “I am signing Senate Bill 4, which establishes strong environmental protections and transparency requirements for hydraulic fracturing and other well stimulation operations,” in a signing message included with his news release announcement. Among the news outlets covering the story were Capital Public Radio’s “Brown Signs Fracking Regulation Bill,” the The Los Angeles Times’ “Brown Signs Bill on Fracking, Upsetting Both Sides of Oil Issue,” the San Francisco Chronicle’s “Brown Signs Bill to Regulate Fracking,” and The Sacramento Bee’s “California Fracking Bill Signed By Gov. Jerry Brown.”

The Delta also made headlines. There was The Sacramento Bee article titled “Southern California Water Users View Delta Tunnel Plan as Key to Reliable Future” and column by Executive Editor Joyce Terhaar, “Not Many Stories are Bigger Than the Delta.” The Stockton Record reported, “Outside Review Raises Questions About Key Delta Tunnel Claims.” “Who Will Pay for Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Tunnel Project?” was an article in the Los Angeles Times, along with a Capitol Journal column by George Skelton titled “Buffaloes Threaten Pristine Landscape in Tunnels’ Path.”
