California bursts into wildflower 'super bloom' after relentless storms

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:01:37 GMT

After months of wintry weather battered the West Coast with torrential rains and snow, California’s hillsides are now bursting with orange, yellow and purple hues so vibrant that they are visible from space.Tourists are coming in droves to see these so-called “super blooms,” which occur when large amounts of precipitation in natural landscapes intersect with years of drought, according to California’s Department of Parks and Recreation.Prolonged drought conditions eliminated the grasses and weeds that would have otherwise consumed nutrients, enabling the growth of what the agency described as “spectacular blooms” — events that last occurred in 2019 and 2017.“The seeds hang out for years and years in the soil. And when you get a good rain, they're like, 'Oh, okay, great, time to come out,’” Valerie Eviner, a plant sciences professor at the University of California Davis, told The Hill.“So we do tend to see those big flushes,” she said, noting that “super bloom” is more of a popu...

Deal paves way for special state assembly hearing to address fentanyl epidemic

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:01:37 GMT

It was a busy week at the state capitol where Republican and Democratic lawmakers agreed to a behind-the-scenes deal to schedule a special hearing in the coming week to take up delayed fentanyl bills. Democrats and Republicans say they're pleased these bills will get a hearing, but some say the process it took to get to this point is unacceptable. "We have good ideas, but you won't even vet them," California Assembly Minority Leader James Gallagher said. "You won't even hold a hearing on them. That's the problem."Authors of these bills say the legislation seeks to target fentanyl dealers and increase penalties for them. However, Assembly Public Safety Committee Chair Reggie Jones Sawyer argued some of the proposals, "were duplicative or provided no rational solutions at all." "The fentanyl epidemic is impacting every city and every community in our state...And so our response has to be about coming together with real solutions," San Francisco Assemblymember Matt Haney said.
