The Salton Sea Authority has endorsed Proposition 50, a measure on the Nov. 5 ballot that would authorize more than $3.4 billion in state general obligation bonds to fund a variety of water projects around the state.

“Our board feels this measure is crucial to Salton Sea because the State Senate has expressed intent to use up to $50 million from Proposition 50 to help fund restoration efforts or related activities,” said Authority Executive Director Tom Kirk.

The Senate also has passed legislation expressing its intent to use an additional $150 million from the bond revenue to facilitate the water transfer between the Imperial Irrigation District and the San Diego County Water Authority pursuant to the Quantification Settlement Agreement, he added.
