Local leaders in San Diego County, California, declared a state of emergency over the sewage spill from Tijuana, Mexico, in an effort to convince the state and federal governments to do the same. The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to address the pollution crisis at hand. The board is looking to get Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) on board in declaring it a state emergency, which could then prompt President Joe Biden to declare a national emergency in response to the crisis. The county's recently issued proclamation stated both requests.
