$600 relief checks? So they can stay in a hotel for 2 nights? But California has billions to pay out for reperations.

"My strawberry farm is out of business because water contaminated the crops because there are so many environmental toxins at the surface from decades of industry and agriculture and development...." Okay, here's your $600 relief check.

Last year: severe droughts and major fires
This year: heavy snow, severe rains and mudslides
Next year: oh who knows? Maybe the San Andreas fault line will finally give in

Weather in California is crazy, just like the people living there

[neurogence]

These criminal leaders should be thrown out

[chrisbrimhall]

If Sacramento would have put the funds from the useless bullet train to more water projects, relieve would be happening

[miker]

600 dollar relief checks ? For the farmers ? Or the workers or the consumers who will pay higher prices at the store . God this State is so mis managed

[davidpickens]

$600 ? What? Billions to a foreign country that we should never be in and chump change to hard working USA Americans?

[speedysteve]

Has the reservoir filled up, or is the goofy governor still busy saving bait fish?

[blackicex]

Nobody cares about California. Just save the children.
