Fresno farmland group pushes residency rules for Westlands split
A Fresno area tenants group urged tighter residency and anti speculation provisions as Westlands Water District faces breakup. They support enforcing reclamation residency rules and limiting ownership to live on land or within 25 miles. Westlands spans Fresno and Kings counties and draws from the San Luis Dam water system. Federal rules require subdividing large holdings into 160 acre parcels to receive water, and original owners must sell without reflecting federal water gains.

Brown sued over funding for SSI in California
A coalition representing aged, blind and disabled California welfare recipients filed a direct suit at the State Court of Appeal level against Gov. Brown and two agency heads, claiming the state withheld 61 million dollars in cost-of-living increases for SSI. The five-group coalition says current increases to 266 dollars on July 1 are based on a partial grant, with the full reform potentially raising levels to 297 dollars if the full cost-of-living percentage is applied.
