Wednesday Top of the Scroll: Proposition 4, the bond measure for water and environmental projects, takes wide lead
A $10-billion California bond measure to finance water, clean energy and other environmental projects was leading by a wide margin in Tuesday’s election. Proposition 4 called for spending $3.8 billion for water projects, including those that provide safe drinking water, water recycling projects, groundwater storage and flood control. An additional $1.5 billion would be spent on wildfire protection, and $1.2 billion would go toward protecting the coast from sea level rise. Other money would be used to create parks, protect wildlife and habitats, fight air pollution, address extreme heat events and fund sustainable agriculture.
