Former L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti confirmed as India ambassador after 20-month fight

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:32:47 GMT

Former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti was confirmed Wednesday by a divided Senate as the nation’s next ambassador to India, 20 months after he was first nominated by President Joe Biden and after weathering doubts about his truthfulness in a sexual harassment scandal involving a top adviser during his time at City Hall.The 52-42 vote gave the administration a long-sought victory in filling one of the country’s highest profile diplomatic posts. The session began with uncertain prospects for Garcetti, a two-term, progressive Democrat first nominated to the prominent diplomatic post by President Joe Biden in July 2021. With several Democratic defections, Garcetti's fate rested with enlisting Republicans in a chamber often divided along partisan line. He secured seven GOP votes to advance the nomination to a final vote. Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine said, “I met with him personally. He clearly has an enormous amount of expertise about India. India’s been two years without an a...

Winter rains lead to lifting of MWD restrictions in Southern California

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:32:47 GMT

Tired of the recent rains? At least the storms came with a silver lining.The Metropolitan Water District on Tuesday rescinded the emergency restrictions that were put in place last year due to the state's historic drought. The three-year period of 2020 to 2022 was the driest period in the state's history, prompting the district to impose limits on outdoor watering of plants to help offset reduced water supplies from the Colorado River and other impacts of the drought."The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California will no longer mandate emergency restrictions on water use for nearly 7 million people after winter storms helped alleviate shortage conditions that severely limited the availability of state water supplies," the MWD announced Wednesday.Those storms have dropped record rainfall, and though they have presented dangers like mudslides and floods, they've also brought much of California out of extreme drought conditions. Rain continues into Wednesday amid flooding, ...
