Last week we heard from proponents of the effort to qualify a new ballot measure that would take money from high speed rail and direct it to the construction of new dams. While many California farmers support the effort, some are opposed, saying it would slow down the process and unnecessarily change a key part of historic state water law.
This week we spoke with Tim Johnson of the California Rice Industry Association, who is opposed to the measure, and is part of the group “Stop the Water Grab.”
