Elk Grove Citizen : Archives & News Sen. Steinberg says water package is good for Nor Cal, pledges support for EGUSD:

"Although the Elk Grove City Council voted last month to oppose the water legislation package championed by State Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento), the legislator said he doesn’t have any hard feelings toward Elk Grove or any of the other cities that joined together to oppose the bills.

“Now that the laws are passed, it’s incumbent on us to make (them) work,” he said after a town hall meeting held Nov. 17 at the Valley Hi North Laguna Library in Sacramento.

A few dozen people attended the meeting, and Steinberg led with the topic he thought everyone would want to talk about – the package of five water bills that was passed by the state legislature on Nov. 4."
