Sacramento Needs to Get Serious About State Water Policy/ Greg Gaudino

This article mostly talks about how Republicans are for water storage initiatives and Democrats are for water conservation initiative. The article starts off by saying that Diane Feinstein is concerned about the future of California’s water and that fellow Democrats need to come to the table and discuss a new long-term water policy.

Later on in the article it says that the Democrats are against water storage and canals because it could flood certain areas and negatively impact the environment. The article goes on to say that Democrats would likely approve a measure that was crafted by both Democrats and Republicans.

The article ends by saying that Democrats had been avoiding the topic altogether by not reporting to meetings that were scheduled in order to talk about the water problem.
