Sacramento lawmakers worked through the night to approve an overhaul of the state's water system. The comprehensive package includes measures to improve conservation, restore the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, and manage groundwater supplies, as well as an $11 billion water bond. Critics of the historic bills say they don’t go far enough and that the water bond will be a financial disaster for California. Larry wades through the pros and cons with stakeholders and environmental activists.

Tender Greens
Tender Greens is like your favorite rock band where you want to keep it a secret but also hope for tremendous success. And successful it is. Healthy and tasty salads and veggies, lean cuts of steak, chicken and tuna all served up in a 'fast food' style and price tag - but in a much better environment and quality. The flatiron angus steak with Yukon Gold potatoes top out my list. I also love to get the line caught ahi tuna with a baby spinach and goat cheese salad - quite tasty when I'm shooting for lighter fare. Makes for a nice and not-too-expensive dinner, and an excellent lunch as well.
