Modify the Letter (optional): The Honorable Arnold Schwarzenegger Governor, State of California State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Fax: 916-558-3160 SUBJECT: Request for Special Session on California’s Water Crisis Dear Governor Schwarzenegger, I strongly urge you to call a special session of the California Legislature to finish dealing with California’s crumbling water system. I hope the Legislature can continue to move forward on some recently reached agreements on a wide-ranging set of measures aimed at improving the state’s water supply - and stopping the environmental hemorrhaging in the Delta – short of reaching consensus on financing. I want to give the Legislature and all parties involved the opportunity to quickly and fairly resolve this matter while at the same time allowing organizations like ours to weigh in on the discuss when allowed to do so. We cannot afford to wait any longer. As you know, after decades of inaction, California’s water system continues to deteriorate. Now is the time to finally bring us into the 21st century by preserving this vital hub that is the conduit for shipping water from the north to our region in Southern California. California’s water system was built for a population of 18 million. It is now strained to the breaking point and needs to be upgraded for a population of more than 36 million that is expected to reach 50 million. The ecological considerations also are straining the system and are being co-equally considered in legislation that has been introduced at the end of the session. The need to complete this task is crucial - and lawmakers must reach consensus on funding this historic compromise. A special session is vital to keep progress moving. I respectfully request you consider taking such action at the soonest possible moment.
