"today in the bay" is back. coming up, there will be dozens of initiatives on next year's november ballot. two in particular will be fairly important to governor brown's legacy. our political analyst joins us live to talk next.

with the voters may come to a screeching halt next november with a ballot challenge on his twin tunnels delta water >> announcer: you're watching "today in the bay." le. >> jerry brown may face a challenge and possibly anotherle challenge on the high speed rail

program. larry gursten is here. we were talking last week about this onslaught of state initiatives in 2016. are these part of the ballot blitz? >> they would be two of the biggest. very significant. the twin tunnel proposal to move freshwater under the delta. we know about this. it's the cornerstone of brown's legacy. given the success on virtually every issue and the ability to convince the voters to increase taxes with proposition 30. what you think on the face of it that brown would be just fine in these areas. maybe not. >> let's take the issues one at a time. moving water past the delta not a new topic. we have been talking about it for years. do you think voters may be compelled to pass the initiative now after four years of drought? >> the drought works in mysterious ways for the

governor. most central valley farmers and urban dwellers, yeah, sure. but a coalition of fiscal conservatives and environmentalists of all things believe that the project should be scrapped. conservatives think it's too expensive. environmentalists think it harms the delta. it's not good. you wouldn't expect to see these guys, normally enemies on everything. in this case on the same side, but they are. politics makes strange bedfellows. >> indeed. interesting. the process not looking so good. another initiative, high speed rail. voters have already approved a $10 billion bond. we are talking about reports that are surfacing that this project will take years and many billions of dollars more than originally projected. it doesn't seem like voters are still on board. >> right. >> that's a good assessment. recent polls, by the way, back you up and show growing opposition to the high speed rail project for a variety of reasons including the expense

and projected routes. the fear that the state would be a perpetual sub diezer of the system that doesn't pay for itself and so many other factors. sponsors of the initiative want to use the remaining bond funds, not spent for new dams and under ground storage. that's how they want to do it. use it for that. dams and under ground storage. by the way, they want to making a cult the state's primary source for water. they want to slip that in as well. which may catch an awful lot of flak considering how much water is used other places. >> what do they mean making a cult the primary -- >> they want agriculture to be the state's number onecipient of water. if there is controversy over water agriculture gets it first. what would that mean to millions of people who live in the city, suburbs and other users of water. >> they are lumping those things in hoping the water issue will slip under and be dove tailing people's ire over the high speed rail. >> this is the part of the

initiative people don't understand yet at all. >> got it. okay. so we are talking about sponsors can get a ballot initiative doesn't necessarily mean it will pass and that's important. if people don't read the fine print they could vote for something they don't want. >> absolutely right. the fact is two-thirds of all state ballot measures are never implemented. because the voters defeat them at the polls or perhaps the courts find them unconstitutional. two-thirds after hundreds of millions of dollars are spent to get them passed. so nothing symbolizes brown's legacy as much as these projects but there is no guarantee the governor will get it through. he won't take chances. not going to take chances and you can look for the governor to lead vigorous opposition campaigns in the months to come. a lot is at stake for so many interests. >> he doesn't want things to go through. he's going to be a strong voice.

>> he'll do his best to defeat them. you would think with his past record he'd have a shot at it. people are curious about these things. we'll see what happens. >> delta water project and the high speed rail. controversial issues. thank you as always.
