Five Western states including California have called on the federal government for about $1 trillion in aid to states, said Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday.

Governors and legislative leaders in the Western States Pact — comprised of California, Washington, Colorado, Oregon and Nevada — wrote to Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell asking for the package in response to mounting budget shortfalls.
