What’s in the $10B climate bond coming to your ballot
Coming to your California ballot this November is a question from the state’s governor and lawmakers: Will you, dear voter, approve $10 billion in state borrowing to help pay for climate and environmental programs? … It’s also called the Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act of 2024. … More than half will be used to protect and increase water supply, according to a bond analysis. That includes grants for drinking water quality, groundwater storage and sustainability projects, and water recycling programs. Just under half will be for flood risk reduction, dam safety, and restoration of watersheds and wetlands.
