“This result demonstrates voters want California to be at the forefront of climate action because our health, lives, and livelihoods are at risk. Voters understand the wisdom of investing in proven solutions now to keep costs down for taxpayers and families instead of waiting to pay more later when disaster strikes. Now, the real work begins to ensure this bond delivers results for communities in need. Investing in climate action will be an ongoing necessity and  it’s exciting to see voters send a clear message today that it remains a top priority.”
