The government declared Apache, Maricopa, Navajo and Pinal counties natural disaster areas last week due to a severe to extreme drought for more than eight weeks. The declaration also was extended to eight surrounding counties that include Yuma. Other contiguous counties included in the declaration are Coconino, Gila, Graham, Greenlee, La Paz, Pima and Yavapai.
Farmers in those counties who cannot qualify for commercial loans can now apply for a low-interest government loan.

Arizona is in a sea of deep doodo,besides the drought hurting her voter base,no new business or industry has relocated to her state since the Rethugs went all in against the Brown People. Elections do have consequences and Arizona is the picture postcard of what it is like when the Teabaggers get control.

California is taking care of their future and increased taxes to pay the bill. There are to many poor people who require aid to make their lives a little better and the fat cats better be paying their fair share.
