House Democrats from California are calling on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and other House leaders to approve a relief package for the Golden State after several atmospheric rivers caused damage.
Reps. Salud Carbajal , Jimmy Panetta , Jim Costa , and Zoe Lofgren sent a letter on Monday. It was addressed to McCarthy, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries , and the chairwoman and ranking member of the House Appropriations Committee. It asked for a"bipartisan disaster recovery package."“For nearly three weeks, California was hit with storms that brought intense rain and catastrophic flooding.
The lawmakers assert the nine atmospheric rivers which consecutively hit the Golden State between December and January caused $500 million in damage. The storms dumped 32 trillion gallons of water on the state. "It is imperative Congress provide much needed aid to California’s agricultural community to allow for a full and timely recovery," the letter said.
