(Robinson Kuntz/Daily Republic) Proposed bond legislation clears Assembly Ag Committee FAIRFIELD A proposed $3.3 billion bond that proponents argue will “accelerate California’s economic recovery and build a healthier, more equitable and resilient food and farm system,” cleared the Assembly Agriculture Committee Thursday. Assembly Bill 125 – the Equitable Economic Recovery, Healthy Food Access, Climate Resilient Farms and Worker Protection Bond Act  – cleared the committee on a 10-0 vote. “Covid-19 has exposed many vulnerabilities and inequalities in our state’s food supply chain and infrastructure, and AB 125 will get at the heart of these issues,” bill author Assemblyman Robert Rivas, D-Hollister, said in a statement released by the California Climate and Agriculture Network, one of 15 sponsors.
