Increase water storage and conservation in western states with Brenda Berman and water resource efforts from colorado, idaho and arizona. This is about an hour. The hearing of the Senate Energy Natural Resources soouks will come to order. I want to apologize for being tardy. Im trying to be in a few places at once. Thanks for your patience. Throughout the rest, water is essential to everything we do. The infrastructure took centuries to build. Without these dams and canals and reclaim water plants the American West would not be the worldwide destination that it is today. It has taken tremendous foresight. They have been great investments. In my home state in arizona, what started as a 10 million federal investment which now contributes 250 billion to the nation. Earlier i toured all 15 counties in arizona.

Morning, everyone. The committee will come to order. Were here to examine the deferred maintenance needs of the public Land Management agencies. This is a topic i care about. I know each of you certainly, the folks on this committee, have expressed concern. Not just coming into this hearing today, but, really, over the years.

I wouldnt be surprised if that number perhaps goes up even higher. If left unchecked there will be impacts in our Outdoor Economy, there will be impacts to our gateway communities like gardner, like cook city and like others. Thankfully congress is working together and taking action again with this bipartisan restore our parks act, and im grateful Ranking Member on the subcommittee angus king and i and the rest of the committee are working in a truly bipartisan fashion to put legislation forward that would bring a solution to this problem. I hope we can pass this out of committee soon and ultimately send this to President Trumps desk. But its going to take more than just one to fix this issue. Mr. Cameron, Yel

Now for hours, this neighborhood was blocked off as Police Helicopters swat teams and officers surrounded the suspects home in hopes of negotiating his surrender. A suspect is in custody after he allegedly shot and wounded a San Jose Police officer as she was responding to a family disturbance.

Shortly after arrival, officers made contact at the residence and immediately began taking fire from a suspect. One officer was hit by gunfire and was transported to a local hospital for that injury.

And they started doing some cleanup work, but turns out theyve had to keep a extending this emergency because the work is not done.
