How the water bond played out
By ALEX BREITLER | Published: NOVEMBER 5, 2014 | Leave a comment
Some tidbits from last night’s water bond vote:
• Twelve counties opposed the bond, 10 of which roughly make up the state of Jefferson territory in far Northern California.
The other two? Calaveras and Inyo.
• San Joaquin County voters were inclined to support the bond (59 percent), but were considerably less enthusiastic than other San Joaquin Valley regions (Fresno County weighed in with 76 percent support).
• The strongest support in California? Kings County, at 76.5 percent.
• Strongest opposition? Water-conscious Trinity County, at 70.4 percent.
Unfortunately for bond opponents, Trinity County accounts for just 3,456 votes, about .0006 percent of the more than 5 million votes cast on the bond.
