Great day yesterday as Sites Reservoir cleared its last big permit: the State Water Board unanimously approved a water right for up to 986,000 acre-feet a year. “The approval shows California can get big infrastructure projects moving again. Sites Reservoir is a smart investment in our future, helping ensure our communities, farms, and wildlife have the water they need when it matters most. Now it's time to get shovels in the ground.” Governor Gavin Newsom

LA/OC Building Trades are proud to endorse the following candidates in each of their respective races. These candidates have earned our trust through their commitment to working families and their vision for the future. We are proud to stand behind them this election season.
Storage is infrastructure. Let's build it! The revised draft decision on Sites Reservoir: up to 986,000 acre-feet a year from the Sacramento River, diverted only Nov 1 to June 14. State Water Board takes it up Nov 4, a required step before construction.

President Donald Trump has shared another fake quote on social media, this time a fabricated comment in which “Denzel Washington” supposedly heaps praise upon him.
A representative for Washington told The Washington Post that the quote was "not real" and said he had "no idea where it came from." | Fact Check cnn.it/3TTWUT5

SB 982 proves Sacramento’s favorite tool isn’t a hammer—it’s a finger to point at the guys actually doing the work. 🏗️

California to spend at least $2 million correcting inaccurate Prop 50 voter guides sent to millions of registered voters.
It’s not clear if that money will be included or be needed in addition to the $282.6 million earmarked for the special election.
