Assemblywoman Alyson Huber hand-delivers 2,000 postcards opposing peripheral canal

Assemblywoman Alyson Huber hand-delivered some 2,000 postcards from peripheral canal opponents to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's office Monday morning.

"The governor showed how out of touch he is with my communities when, just hours after the water package was passed, he touted his plans to build a canal through the (Sacramento-San Joaquin) Delta at a business event in Stockton," Huber said in a written statement. "He just doesn't get it — he might as well walk into a Giants game wearing a Dodgers jersey."

Huber said she opposes the water package because it creates a new layer of bureaucrats who will make decisions on water, including the details of a canal, that will impact the communities in her district.

Huber authored a bill to require a full analysis of the peripheral canal and require legislative approval, but it was killed without a hearing, she said. Huber plans to resubmit the bill in the near future.
