Content: | Actually, yes. Congress last week overrode a presidential veto of a water bill that contains $25 million for L.A. River renovation. The money still has to be budgeted, but it\'s a start. If you\'re keeping score at home, Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-East Los Angeles) bird-dogged the funds in the House, and Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-California) did so on the Senate side. As for the senator, the accompanying Boxer-o-Meter shows she has only $54 million to go to fulfill a promise to obtain $79 million for the river. |
