voted on or approved anything yet. They are in floor session this evening
as I write this (7:45 pm) and the TV screen on the internet shows both the
Assembly Democrats and Republicans having a caucus. However, around noon
today I did see bill language supposedly endorsed by the Assembly Speaker
that allocates something like $500-750 million for surface storage, to be
available for commencing construction on Sites, Temperance Flat or
the rebuild of the dam at Lake Perris. The funds would be to cover
the public benefits of such projects and could only be spent (assuming the
voters approved the bond measure) via a 2/3rds vote of the
Legislature. Here's a link to view via internet TV the Assembly
Floor session:<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>
