Californians Approve $10 Billion For Water, Wildfire, Climate Projects

"California will spend $10 billion to fund water, climate, wildfire and natural resource projects after voters approved a bond measure in Tuesday’s election.

Proposition 4 will fund projects across the state to safeguard drinking water, combat wildfires, protect natural lands, and improve resilience against floods and extreme heat, but some of the money is also directed toward shorter-term items like job training.

At least 40% of the funds will be spent to benefit communities considered most harmed by climate change and environmental fallout —  prioritizing support for populations that might lack the resources to cope with those impacts."

Alejandro Lazo reports for CalMatters November 5, 2024.
