Multiple flood protection projects in California are on hold because Gov. Gavin Newsom has proposed to cut their funding.

But recently state officials have been rethinking that strategy by returning large swaths of land to floodplains. Adam Gray, a former Democratic member of the state Assembly who pushed for the funding, said it was “one of the most exciting things I worked on in the 10 years I was in the Legislature.”
