Delta Tunnel Opponent to Address
Sacramento Environmental Council:
How the Tunnels Would Harm Sacramento & Delta
Sacramento, CA- Restore the Delta (RTD), opponents of Gov. Brown’s rush to build Peripheral Tunnels that would drain the Delta and doom salmon and other Pacific fisheries, will address a forum in Sacramento on Monday, March 17, to outline the damage the governor’s project would do to the Sacramento area and the San Francisco/San Joaquin Bay delta and estuary. “The governor proposes to sacrifice salmon and other fisheries, sustainable farming and wise water management to mainly benefit the top 1% of corporate agribusiness in the Westlands and Kern County Water districts,” said RTD Executive Director Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla.
