“Is California Water Planning Paralyzed?”

Friday, September 17, 7:30 - 9:30 am

Embassy Suites, 101 McInnis Parkway, San Rafael

California is in dire need of breaking a 40-year-old deadlock on water planning and policy.  Factions in the water fight — environmentalists and farmers, agribusiness and fishing, Democrats and Republicans — are at a stalemate, while the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta ecosystem continues its collapse.  The $11-billion bond measure cobbled together late last year has been deferred, at the last minute, to a new Governor and what will hopefully be a better economy.  In the meantime, does State water policy stand still or move forward?  Is there a compromise in sight?

Assembly Member Jared Huffman, Chair of the Assembly Committee on Water, Parks, and Wildlife; Attorney Cynthia Koehler, California Water Legislation Director for Environmental Defense Fund; and Jonas Minton, Senior Policy Advisor to Planning and Conservation League, will address these questions at Marin Conservation League’s Business-Environment Breakfast Forum on September 17, 2010, from 7:30 to 9:30, at Embassy Suites, San Rafael.
