The Los Angeles Times has a strong story out today about how patience is running out for the state to make good on its promises at the Salton Sea:

"We have a plan, we have money, there is additional money lined up, and we have a constituency — myself included — that is running out of patience," Garcia (D-Coachella), chairman of the Assembly Committee on Water, Parks and Wildlife, said.
