An 11 billion dollar water bond will no longer be on the November ballot after a decision made by Governor Schwarzenegger this week. Even though the governor claims that improving the state’s water storage and delivery system is one of his main priorities, he believes it’s not the right time to implement that measure, and wants to delay the ordinance until 2012. Schwarzenegger says the prospects for approval would be hurt by putting the measure on the ballot now, and wants to spend more time currently focusing on improving the deficit, reforming government pensions and creating long-term budget reforms.
