Water Deal?

Possibility remains.

Suddenly, a water deal?
A $10 billion idea from out of the blue

It's a bit late for lawmakers to be slamming a $10 billion water bond onto the February ballot. But that's still a possibility as we approach turkey day.

Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata called a session for Monday to discuss, and possibly vote on, a water deal in the works. Then he canceled it. By the time you read this, it may be on again. Certain senators seem intent on placing something on the Feb. 5 ballot, even if the Assembly hasn't been part of the talks.
