Legislature Rejects Brown Plea to Fund Two Prisons

Fund battles include university lab costs and a planned 3 percent top rate, while a revision on student fees follows a forum misstep by Assemblyman Boatwright.

Drought to linger in California despite normal rain outlook
The California Department of Water Resources warned that even with a normal October onward rainfall, drought effects will persist for three or more years. Reservoir filling will be slow, groundwater is stressed, and nutrient runoff rules apply to pesticide loads. Lake Oroville and multiple downstream reservoirs face sharing cuts, while statewide storage and precipitation figures show continued drought pressures across the region.
