Prop 18 Water Bond Delay Passes To Governors Desk

Both houses have passed the bills to delay Prop 18 til 2012.  After a fairly easy Senate vote for the delay bill, the Assembly fought it for a while and passed it out this evening, eventually gaining the 2/3 votes needed.  Interestingly, the arguments for and against delaying ranged from "don’t delay it so we can kill an unpopular, bad bond sooner than maybe squeak it through later"  to "we must save this important measure from a certain loss now in 2010 under these dire economic times by delaying it for the voters to decide in 2012"   At any rate, it’s now a 2012 question once the Guv signs the bill.
