Feinstein’s New Drought-Relief Bill

In an effort to get Congress to pass legislation to help California, Sen. Dianne Feinstein is proposing a drought-relief bill which would include using $1.3 billion over the next decade for storage, desalination and other projects, the Los Angeles Times reports. Still, questions remain, including whether environmentalists will support it, and if a compromise can be reached with a Republican-backed bill that has been approved by the House.
