Audubon California Executive Director Brigid McCormack argues in today's Capitol Weekly that any water bond approved by the legislature for the November ballot must include resources for birds and habitat:
Any long-term plan for water use – that is to say, any water bond – that fails to address the future needs of birds and habitat should be considered a failure. This will not only be because of the ecological destruction that will ensue, but also because of the failed opportunity to create a comprehensive plan to provide for California’s future water use.
