Unpopular Water Bond Pulled from November Ballot

On September 9th, the California Legislature barely scrapped together enough votes to pass A.B. 1265, a bill that removes the immensely unpopular water bond from this November’s ballot and delays the proposition until the November 2012 election. We do not expect voter support to improve by 2012; now or in two years, the bond is still bad for California.

Our work together kept the Water Bond from being passed this year, but it isn’t over yet! It’s clear that voters do not want this poorly-designed water bond, but they do want solutions. We’ll continue working to build support for cost-effective water solutions that benefit all Californians while we oppose the bond. It’s imperative that we keep up the momentum on this issue.
