A bill has been approved that could help some farmers in California. The house voted 230 to 182 in favor of a bill that is designed to give state and federal agencies authority to move more water to California’s drought stricken farm belt in the San Joaquin Valley. Although senators are scheduled to look at it next, they are not even expected to review the bill before they adjourn for the year. Despite the recent and expected storms, more than 99 percent of California remains in a drought.
