SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and legislative leaders say their $11.1 billion water bond is an essential investment for California's future, but it may be a hard sell to voters.
California already is saddled with debt, and the bond measure that will appear on the November 2010 ballot is filled with special-interest earmarks added in the late hours through backroom dealmaking.
The bond ballooned by $1.7 billion over two days while legislative leaders sought to win the votes they needed to pass the measure.
