Governor Schwarzenegger Issues Statement on Democratic Water Proposal

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today issued the following statement after Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento) and Assembly Speaker Karen Bass (D-Baldwin Vista) released a Democratic package of proposals to address California's water challenges:

"California's water situation is urgent and I applaud the Democrats for recognizing that and bringing their ideas to the table. Fixing California's broken water system cannot be put off any longer, we must get it done this session - the longer we wait, the worse the affects of our water shortage is on our citizens and our economy. I look forward to reviewing their proposal and working in a quick and bipartisan way toward a comprehensive water plan that focuses on water supply reliability, conservation, environmental protection and increased storage."
