Proposed Changes on Building and Permitting Process Will Be Excluded from the Budget Plan of Democrats
Following the proposed changes introduced by the California governor on the building and permitting process, Democrats refused to include the proposal to the current state budget plan in their version due to its possible impacts on the residents.
The California governor pushes the proposed changes to the process of building and permitting in the state to make building several infrastructures, including bridges, faster and easier so the budget would be maximized.
However, Democrats and other lawmakers claimed that his proposal only led to his real motive of continuing the project of building the Delta tunnel, which will re-route the water movement and change the state’s water system.
