Fast track option for the Delta conveyance tunnel rejected by budget committee

Three members of the Senate Budget Subcommittee 2 on Resources, Environmental Protection and Energy voted to reject the fast-tracking proposal — Sen. Ben Allen, D-El Segundo, Sen. Catherine Blakespear, D-Encinitas, and Senator Jerry McNerney, D-Stockton. Sen. Steven Choi, R-Irvine, abstained from voting.

McNerney is a member of the Delta Caucus, a group of legislators who opposed the tunnel entirely.

He said in a statement Tuesday, “The destructive and unaffordable Delta Tunnel Project should be shelved permanently.”
