19 hours agoWalters: Ballot measure would broaden reform of state's key environmental law
Former Gov. Jerry Brown once referred to overhauling the California Environmental Quality Act as the Lord's work because, he said, it made building much-needed things housing, transportation improvements, water storage, etc. too difficult and too expensive. In 2018, as he neared the end of his second stint as governor, Brown vetoed a bill that would have prevented developers from circumventing CEQA's laborious provisions by persuading local voters to directly approve projects.
