SAN DIEGO—The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on Sept. 13 to continue a state of emergency due to pollution and sewage flowing across the U.S.-Mexico border.
On June 27, board Chairwoman Nora Vargas and Vice Chair Terra Lawson-Remer introduced the proclamation, which asks Gov. Gavin Newsom and President Joe Biden to issue similar declarations to “suspend red tape that may hinder response efforts, and expedite access to federal resources for San Diego County.”
