Calif. Governor Ready To Deal With Water Crisis

Calif. Governor Ready To Deal With Water Crisis

Although state lawmakers didn't reach agreement on a deal to fix California's broken water system by the Oct. 11 deadline imposed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, he says he has  found enough progress in efforts to solve the state's crippling water supply problems to call a special session of  the legislature.

Members were called back to Sacramento, and they're preparing to discuss a package of bills. The bill package includes a policy bill – a five-part bill sequence that was rolled into a single omnibus bill – and a bond measure that would require a two-thirds majority vote for passage.

Farm advocates characterize the package as "inadequate," but say they will continue working to encourage passage of comprehensive water-system improvements.
