Urgent action request from Assemblymember Olsen

Speak Up Against Delta Tunnels Project

Tomorrow, April 4, in Sacramento, the public is invited to attend, call into or view by live webcast a meeting on the Bay Delta Conservation Plan to build two giant water diversion tunnels in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
 
The Plan proposes to divert water from the Sacramento River, taking essential resources from Delta farmers and families to send it to southern parts of the state.
 
This is a plan that California just cannot afford and that unnecessarily creates winners and losers. The plumbing alone is projected to cost $14 billion.
 
I encourage you to attend the hearing and ask compelling questions to voice your opposition against this proposed “tunnels” project.
 
The meeting is from noon to 6 p.m. at the Red Lion Hotel Woodlake Conference Center, 500 Leisure Lane, Sacramento.
 
It will also be available by live video webcast at BayDeltaConservationPlan.com, and by audio conference call at (888) 369 -1427, access code 8278112.
 
Sincerely,
 
Kristin Olsen
