BIG SUR, Calif. - People stranded in Big Sur are getting some much-needed help on Friday. A helicopter brought over pounds of food, fuel and other supplies.

Conditions were perfect flying Friday morning, allowing deliveries of much needed food, fuel and other supplies to people in remote areas of Big Sur, to those who have been isolated for weeks.

"Light winds, sunny skies, it's as about as good as you can get here on the coast," said Scott Sinton, chief pilot for Sinton Helicopters.

“The president continued to rely on his narrative about immigrants posing a threat rather than being a benefit to our communities. The president's idea for a Victims of Immigrant Crime Engagement department instills fear in and encourages discrimination against immigrant communities,” Panetta said.

Congressman says it is "long past time for Democrats and Republicans to work together to construct policy"

Washington -- Rep. Jimmy Panetta, D-Carmel Valley, issued his assessment of President Donald Trump's speech to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday and said Trump continues to deliver "the same divisive and dangerous message he used throughout his campaign."

But the congressman said, "I do agree with one thing he mentioned last night, and that is that it is long past time for Democrats and Republicans to work together to construct policy," said Panetta. "I will fight to ensure that those policies include our shared values we hold dear on the Central Coast."

McPherson said Congress members Anna Eshoo and Jimmy Panetta have been “very helpful” in pushing for immediate repairs. “They have seen it live and in color and they know what we are dealing with,” McPherson said.
