On this episode of the Shasta Environmental Alliance Program, host David Ledger covers two upcoming California ballot measures Proposition 3 (a water bond) and Proposition 6 (the gas tax repeal), highlighting opposition from groups like the Sierra Club and the League of Women Voters. The main segment features an interview with Ron Stork, Senior Policy Advocate for Friends of the River, who explains his organization’s opposition to the Federal Bureau of Reclamation’s plan to raise the height of Shasta Dam. Stork details the environmental risks the dam raise poses to downstream salmon habitats and the Middle McCloud River, discusses funding shortfalls, and addresses state-level legal conflicts surrounding the project.
