As he signed the bond issue legislation, SB 1106, to be known as the Burns-Porter Act, Governor Brown noted that ‘my signature today does not itself insure the creation of the great water program which California so urgently requires.” Final approval rests in the hands of the state’s voters, he pointed out. He urged the electorate to listen to arguments on both sides and to listen critically. “We should all remember that there are those among us who will always find a difficulty for any solution,” he said. “This, I am confident, is a solution: a great solution worthy of the greatness of this state and its people.” The legislation was drafted by Carley Porter, Compton Democrat.
