Who Should Pay For Flood Control?
13 September 2000 - 12:00pm
The Sacramento Bee comes out against AB1147, which would require local California communities to pay a higher share for flood-control projects.
"Shifting the burden of flood-control projects to local agencies could backfire on the state if cash-strapped local governments can't come up with the money. Building better flood protection not only helps a local community, it helps the entire state avoid the prospect of paying the enormous cleanup costs from flooding that could have been prevented."
