it is a microcosm of what is going wrong in the state of california. the storms that did bring us rain did a little for the sierra snowpack. most of the snowpack is already gone. there is no telling how long the drought could last the tree rings show our region has been through much worse for much longer. with the demands we are putting on resources we could be accelerating the natural cycle of megadrought's. the choices we make now could determine whether the past is likely to repeat itself. >> i am optimistic. i am not so optimistic we will do it. it is a contentious issue. we fight over water, we always have. >> thank you for joining us for this half-hour special on the california drug. our -- our coverage -- thank you for joining us for this half-hour special on the california drought. you can find water restrictions we leave on our website. tonight at 10:00 there is a multimillion dollar waterpark under construction with the drought. that is tonight at 10:00. that was our half-hour special on the drought. we will see you tonight at 10:00 with the

how do we make sure this is representative of the diversity here in california? supplier diversity and inclusive hiring are very important touch points, that green lining focuses on. what this slide represents is the strategies around increasing diversity in sectors, such as the clean energy economy, ensuring it's representative of california diversity, also of course competition and transparency, we want more people applying for these jobs, and trained in these new technology, so there is increased competition, so there is a robust and diverse hiring pool for this new economy, the supplier diversity which is really, what businesses are getting the contracts? we're making sure minority owned, women owned and lgbt and veterans programs those are under served, to have access to these types of contracts, once company, are contracting to do this work, who are they hiring? spending money around low income communities, we want to make sure folks are hiring from those communities, and the economic ben tit -- beb benefits for the economies, are involved. what is next for

california is struggling to a debt to stringent water restrictions.rica's most populous state is one of the world's largest economies. this four-year long dry spell could have repercussions around the globe. our correspondent has the report. >> this is where california gets much of its water. from the snow that is melting in the sierra nevada mountains. do not be deceived by this light dusting of white. it is too little too late. this is the sign of an unprecedented fourth year of severe drought. >> what would it be like in a normal year? >> we would still have snow. we would still have a couple of feet of snow in this location. in our april 1 snow survey we had 13 inches in this location. in 2011 there were 91 inches. this is the worst year on record. >> that means less water in the reservoirs then ever before. and a normal year i would be standing under water. the level of this reservoir should be up there above me. like many of the reservoirs across california, it has been hit by the drought, and is down at historically low levels. here, this water

california schools could get more than $7 billion in additional funding. joining me now to discuss how that money might be spent is tom torlekson, the state superintendent of public instruction. good to have you with us. >> great to be here scott. >> as you well know, california has a new formula for deciding how much money school districts gets and it's intended to help districts with a lot of low-income, foster care kids, english learners. and yet, there have been studies that show that in the first rounds of that funding, it isn't really getting to the students that it's intended to help. how is the state going to make sure that it does? >> well, we have a system of checks and balances with the county superintendents and my office, ultimately, making sure that that does happen. i believe it is happening for the greatest part, that the money is going towards the students that need it the most kids from poverty, english learners, foster kids. and we're also seeing again, the chance with the budget growth to invest across the board in programs that are rea

so california is ahead of the climate game at least for now.bby young with the bay area quality district is quick to point out it gets a lot tougher from here. >> we're already starting out as a fairly clean state. we have fairly clean electricity production. we're good at conserving water and conserving electricity. now it means to get that additional reduction, we have to start turning over a lot more stones and really digging down. >> and that's where you come in. most energy is consumed in buildings. the bay area has plenty of older homes and offices that stretch back centuries and aren't exactly energy efficient. hitting the governor's mark a national precedent starts really in your living room. that means putting up solar panels retrofitting your homes and taking advantage of rebates. california has made great strides. we're on pace to meet that 2020 benchmark. but if we're talking about the next industrial rev o nugs that means everybody individually doing something to move us along. i'm sam brock. >> you heard the expression raining cat

the biggest winners from prop 13-- i think this is very important-- was california business and californiaiculture. as i recall, if one was creating a pie chart, you'd say in this chart that about 1/3 of the benefits from 13 went to homeowners. 2/3 went to business and agriculture. one group that did lose, in my opinion, was the renter. jarvis had literally promised renters that savings would be passed on from apartment owners to the renter. and really that never occurred. but for the average taxpayer proposition 13 seemed remarkable-- getting a break on taxes with little sacrifice on services. jarvis was back in 1980 with a new initiative-- proposition 9, which would cut state income taxes by 50%. the opposition led by the california public employees union focused its tv campaign on fairness. is it fair that if 9 passes you get a huge tax break and the average person gets nothing? i didn't write proposition 9. why not reduce the sales tax so everyone benefits equally? as i said, i didn't write proposition 9. you could have fooled me. the campaign against proposition 9 was successful. the
