Proposition 4, the California bond measure for water and environmental projects, leads early

"The measure calls for spending $3.8 billion for water projects, $1.5 billion for wildfire protection, and $1.2 billion for coastal protection, among other initiatives."

"Environmental advocates are pushing for this financing, stating these projects are essential for the state's future, aiding in wildfire prevention and erosion control."

"The bond measure will cost taxpayers $400 million annually over 40 years, totaling $16 billion including interest, raising concerns about fiscal responsibility."
