    LOS ANGELES - California lawmakers are taking aim at proposed rules to implement a state law aimed at curbing plastic waste, saying the draft regulations proposed by CalRecycle undermine the letter and intent of the legislation. In a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom and two of his top administrators, the lawmakers said CalRecycle exceeded its authority by drafting regulations that don't abide by the terms set out by the law, Senate Bill 54.

    Want to know what constitutes an acceptable form of recycling in California under CalRecycle’s new draft guidelines for the state’s landmark plastic waste law? It’ll cost you roughly $187, and even then you may not find your answer.

USDA finally added the #H5N1 #BirdFlu infected herds I'd heard about (2 weeks ago) to its list, bringing CA's total to 754; 983 across 17 states. Meanwhile domestic cats are getting pummeled -- APHIS' list shows last 10 entries were all cats. https://t.co/xNeitY8u0W

FWIW, signs of #H5N1 #BirdFlu in CA's wastewater is pretty sporadic and low. So, even though I've been told there are 5 more presumptive #H5N1 #BirdFlu dairy herds in CA (total=753), things don't seem as hot as they did a month or two ago. https://t.co/GGMojTjre9
