SB 872 would have established a fund to address two major threats to California's water supply.
Aging levees in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and sinking canals in the state water project.
In his veto message, Newsom said such a fund was unnecessary because this year's state budget included numerous allocations for water infrastructure, including $75 million for projects that repair levees and improve flood protection in the Delta, and $68 million to mitigate subsidence in the state's aqueducts and canals.
Delta advocates say the decision leaves critical infrastructure vulnerable and fails to adequately prepare California's water system for future challenges.
And he has set California water infrastructure on a course for complete failure as a result of his wrongful request.
That's the word of Barbara Berrigan Perrelli, Executive Director at Restore the Delta.
