As poll shows water is top issue, state set to spend $1.1B on drought

摘要

Legislation that would expedite spending nearly $1.1 billion to help with California's drought passed the state's Senate yesterday and is headed back to the Assembly for a final agreement. The Assembly is expected to approve the amended version as early as today and send it to Gov. Jerry Brown (D), who supports the package. The state is entering its fourth year of drought, with the official rainy season ending now that spring has begun.
