DBecerra, Hilton bound for November faceoff after Southland appearances

emocrat Xavier Becerra and Republican Steve Hilton will face each other in November’s race for governor after both made campaign stops in the Southland.

Becerra visited Mercado La Paloma Tuesday in downtown Los Angeles, speaking with merchants, chatting with diners and posting for photos.

“We know we’re in (the runoff), so we’re going to get out there and continue to talk to people the way we did during the primary,” Becerra told reporters. “And we hope that folks stay engaged and that we have an even bigger turnout for the November general election.”

Becerra said he knew the possibility of low voter turnout was a concern going into last week’s primary election, but said, “I think at the end of the day, it’s going to be a decent result.”

“We still want to get more people coming out, but it’s good to see that the reason it is taking a while for the count to be completed is because a lot of folks ended up voting, and so we’re happy about that,” he said.

Hilton held a news conference Tuesday morning outside the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/ County Clerk’s Office in Norwalk, primarily to discuss his call for changes in the election and vote-counting process in California.

At the time, he held off on declaring victory in his effort to secure the second spot in the November runoff.

“In this campaign, as I pointed out last night, we always had a policy that we would wait for the official call of the race from the AP (Associated Press). That is what we are waiting for. We do not know when that will happen ... so we’re not popping the champagne yet.”

As it turned out, the AP called the race for Hilton late Tuesday afternoon when the Secretary of State’s Office issued its latest vote-counting update.

That count showed

Becerra leading the field of gubernatorial candidates with 2,327,237 votes, or 27.9%. Hilton was in second place with 2,076,863 votes, or 24.9%

Billionaire Democrat

Tom Steyer was in third place with 1,883,592 votes, or 22.6%.

“What an incredible honor to be chosen by Californians to lead the movement for change in the greatest state in the greatest nation on Earth,” Hilton said in a statement late Tuesday after the updated returns were released. “There’s

nowhere better than California. But a majority of Californians -- 56% in a recent poll -- believe our state is on the wrong track and needs change. That is the majority we will now have the honor of leading to victory in November, and I can’t wait to get started on the most high-energy campaign this state has ever seen.”

Steyer issued a statement Tuesday evening conceding defeat.

“I have always been an optimist, and today, I remain an optimist,” he said in part.

“Nothing this campaign

fought for is far off. These dreams we dreamt together are not too big. Californians deserve a life they can afford, and they deserve for it to be in California. My commitment to this fight didn’t start last November, and it doesn’t end today. Because the work of winning a better, fairer California is not the work of a campaign. It is the work of my life.”

During his news conference in Norwalk, Hilton again called for changes in how California conducts its elections, expressing dismay at the length of the ballot-counting process. While insisting he has not seen any obvious evidence of massive voter fraud in the election, Hilton called for implementation of voter ID rules in California to ensure fair elections. He urged Becerra to join him in campaigning in support of voter ID, which would require voters to show legal identification to cast a ballot. Proponents of such a system insist it will prevent fraud and ensure every ballot cast is legitimate. Opponents, however, say such a rule would disenfranchise many voters who do not have a valid government ID or passport -- affecting primarily lower-income voters, minorities, the disabled and the elderly.

Victims of SoCal mortgage fraud scheme to receive refunds

By City News Service

Morethan1,800 consumers who were victims of a Southern California-basedmortgage fraud scheme during the COVID-19 pandemic will soon receive refunds totaling nearly $3 million.

Golden Home Services, also known as Home Matters USA, falsely promised to reduce homeowners’ mortgage payments and prevent foreclosures, according to the Federal Trade Commission and the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation.

U.S. District Judge Fernando Aenlle-Rocha issued an order in 2024 in Los Angeles federal court banning the operators of the companies from the telemarketing and debt relief businesses and required them

to pay millions of dollars in penalties and restitution.

The court found that the defendants falsely promised to reduce homeowners’ mortgage payments and prevent foreclosures, defrauding distressed homeowners out of millions of dollars.

The scheme harmed more than 3,000 people nationwide, particularly elders and veterans, the FTC said.

“This case shows what’s possible when state and federal partners work together with purpose to crack down on fraud, hold bad actors accountable, and deliver justice for victims,”

Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement provided by DFPI.

“I’m grateful for the work of our Department of Financial Protection and Innovation

and for their continued commitment to protecting Californians.”

Court papers show the scheme used over a dozen business names, including Golden Home Services, Academy Home Services, and Home Matters USA.

The scammers operated telemarketing call centers and used them to contact distressed homeowners, leading them to believe that their fraudulent programs were associated with federal COVID-19 and mortgage relief programs, prosecutors said.

The FTC said it was currently mailing refund checks to affected homeowners. Recipients should cash these checks within 90 days, as indicated on the check.

“We are pleased to be able

to give refunds to people who have been scammed out of their hard-earned money,”

DFPI Commissioner Khalil

Ssaid. “We will continually pursue all avenues to prevent scammers from preying on and profit-

ing off Californians, including vulnerable homeowners trying to keep a roof over their families’ heads.”

Stormy weather? Powerful El Niño could mean wet SoCal winter

outhern California could be in for a particularly wet winter, with forecasters saying Thursday a potentially powerful El Niño in the Pacific Ocean, possibly ranking as one of the strongest in the past 75 years.

According to the National Weather Services’ Climate Prediction Center, aboveaverage surface temperatures have been recorded in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean, and conditions favoring El Niño are expected to intensify in the coming months.

“There is a 63% chance of a very strong El Niño during November- January that would rank among the largest El Niño events in the

historical record going back to 1950,” forecasters said.

While it’s unclear exactly what that will mean for Southern California, it traditionally means dramatically increased precipitation in the region.

“Even very strong El Niño events do not lead to the expected impact everywhere, but stronger events can more significantly tilt the odds in favor of expected outcomes,” according to forecasters. “In summary, El Niño conditions are present and expected to strengthen into the Northern Hemisphere winter 2026-27.”

Typical impacts of El Niño generally include stormier weather in the southern United States

-- meaning more rain and snow. It also can lead to increased risk of flooding during high tides on the West Coast. Harmful algae blooms are also a potential effect on the West Coast.

According to the NWS, El Niño generally leads to a southern shift of the jet stream over the northern Pacific Ocean, resulting in drier conditions in areas such as the Northern Rockies and the Ohio and Tennessee valleys. But it brings stormier conditions to the southern regions.

“Every El Niño is not the same; each one is unique with its own imprint on our weather,” Ken Graham, NWS director, said in a statement. “Advanced monitoring and an improved understanding of El

allow

the

NWS to better predict and better prepare the public and our core partners for what is to come.”

ASanta Monica HS grad to command NASA’s next Artemis mission

Santa Monica High School graduate is set to command NASA’s Artemis III mission, the first planned crewed lunar landing of the Artemis program and a key step in the agency’s long-term effort to establish a sustained human presence on the moon and eventually send astronauts to Mars.

NASA announced Tuesday that veteran astronaut and former International Space Station commander Randy Bresnik, who was born in Kentucky but considers Santa Monica his home, will lead the four-person crew when the mission launches from Cape Canaveral next year.

The Artemis III mission will test the rendezvous and docking capabilities of lunar landers being developed by Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin.

The mission will build on the Artemis II flight

conducted in April, during which four astronauts circled the moon, traveling farther from Earth than any previous space mission.

“Artemis III will demonstrate the power of American innovation and international partnership as we test complex rendezvous and docking operations and advance the technologies that will one day carry us deeper into the solar system,” NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said in a statement announcing the four crew members of Artemis III.

“This mission will require the most awe-inspiring coordination of heavy-lift rocket launches in history, drawing on the talent and capability of teams across government and the spaceflight community. The Artemis III astronauts, alongside ESA (European Space Agency) and our international

certification process.”

But the relatively quick repair was not a reflection of the severity of the issue.

Gil Elmy, a former Forest Service official who wrote the agency’s aircraft inspector guide, said such a finding “should not happen.” Markowitz said the finding evoked an uncomfortable historical echo. The 2002 crash, which was caught on camera and precipitated the Forest Service’s reckoning and its modern airworthiness program, was caused by unidentified wing cracking.

As Bridger’s scooper was being repaired, officials in the wildland fire community were responding to a proposal from the senator’s office that would have ended the airworthiness program. In March 2025, Sheehy asked Brooke Rollins, the secretary of the Department of Agriculture, to stop the inspections, and in midApril, a draft executive order that proposed eliminating them leaked from his Senate office. Metadata showed the draft had been edited by one of Sheehy’s policy advisers at the time as well as a lobbyist for Bridger. The United Aerial Firefighting Association also shaped the

draft.

“Senator Sheehy’s office circulated a living, breathing document to members of congress, outside policy experts, and industry stakeholders on ways to improve the way we fight fire in this country,” wrote Sheehy’s spokesperson.

When Sheehy resigned from Bridger in July 2024 to run for the Senate, he owned 21% of the company, making him its largest individual shareholder. Four months after taking office, in May 2025, he moved most of his stock into two revocable blind trusts, claiming they eliminated any conflict of interest he might have.

But the trusts appear to be managed by executives at Tallgrass, an energy infrastructure company that until March was run by Sheehy’s brother, Matt, who was also a significant early investor in Bridger. Neither Matt Sheehy nor representatives for Tallgrass responded to questions about the trusts. In an email, a spokesperson for the senator did not dispute the Tallgrass executives’ stewardship but pointed out that the Senate Select Committee on Ethics had vetted the

partners, and the tens of thousands of the best and brightest across the agency and industry, are ushering in a new Golden Age of exploration carrying forward the hopes and dreams of the next generation just as the Apollo astronauts did for so many of us.”

Bresnik graduated from Santa Monica High School in 1985 and served in the Marine Corps, reaching the rank of colonel. He then went on to earn degrees at The Citadel in South Carolina and the University of Tennessee-Knoxville.

He is a veteran astronaut, having flown on the space shuttle Atlantis and serving as commander aboard the International Space Station. He has more than 32 hours of spacewalk experience.

His father, Albert, lives in Santa Monica.

Another of the Artemis III crew members announced

trusts. The spokesperson wrote, “Senator Sheehy’s blind trusts are completely independent — he has no control over them.”

According to Cynthia Brown, senior ethics counsel at the nonprofit Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a decision to entrust stock to such close associates undermines the purpose of a blind trust, which is to ensure that a lawmaker’s investments are independently managed.

In an email, Brown said, “Selecting a family member’s company appears to do that exact thing that the rules mean to prohibit.”

Since last spring, Sheehy has said little about airworthiness inspections. But he has pushed other policies that would increase business opportunities for aviation companies, such as requiring a response within 30 minutes to all wildfires on federal land. At the same time, he has driven an agenda that could debilitate his longtime foe, the Forest Service.

In statements, on podcasts and in the New York Times opinion section, he has advocated for a single national fire service. And at

almost every turn — including in proposed legislation — he has insisted that the Forest Service’s vast wildfire apparatus be moved within the Department of the Interior’s smaller operation. It would hollow out the Forest Service, which draws more than half its budget from fire operations. “It would be a fatal wound,” said Doug Crandall, the agency’s former legislative affairs director.

There are inefficiencies in a fire aviation system spread between agencies. The rush for a couple dozen inspectors to certify hundreds of planes and helicopters before wildfire season can cause delays, temporarily grounding aircraft and cutting into contractors’ revenues. And the agencies have sometimes required duplicative inspections.

But even officials and firefighting labor advocates who support consolidation, which requires congressional approval, have questioned why Interior should absorb the Forest Service’s fire program. Some liken it to forcing a minnow to swallow a whale. The Forest Service employs about twice as many full-time wildland

firefighters as the Interior Department, and it spends at least three times more on aviation contracting. It is also responsible for the vast majority of inspections. According to a recent organizational chart reviewed by ProPublica, only five aviation safety inspectors currently work for the Interior Department.

Bridger carries significant debt and in 2024 warned shareholders that it had “substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.” But last year, the company reported a profit for the first time since going public. It also purchased two more scoopers and predicted that efforts to unify fire agencies “could increase contracting opportunities for private aerial providers.”

In another recent filing, Bridger said, “the legislative and policy environment has never been more aligned with our mission.”

Last year, six Forest Service aviation safety inspectors resigned or retired, according to the agency. The recent organizational chart reviewed by ProPublica shows the same number of positions remain unfilled, representing more

than 20% of Forest Service aviation safety inspector jobs. It’s unclear what would happen to the rest of the inspectors if the Interior Department were to absorb the Forest Service’s fire operations. In an emailed statement, Adam Mendonca, the Forest Service’s deputy director of fire and aviation management, said the agency “has no intention to change our aircraft inspection standards,” adding that it was “working closely with the Department of the Interior to streamline aviation operations.”

In late March, the Forest Service announced a dramatic reorganization that will move its headquarters to Salt Lake City. The Department of Agriculture reiterated the administration’s desire to fold the Forest Service’s fire operations into the Interior Department. By that point, blazes had ignited in the Midwest. With the arrival of fire season, the Forest Service’s airworthiness inspectors performed their close examinations. At hangars across the country, they looked for cracks.

SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE - MAIN STREET COURTHOUSE

Case No. DVRI2506414

[Family Law Division]

ATTACHMENT TO DV-100: DESCRIPTION OF ABUSE

SUZANNE BOVEE REAM, Petitioner, v.

WILLIAM ROBERT WOLF, Respondent.

1. I, SUZANNE BOVEE REAM, am the Petitioner in this matter and declare as follows:

2. I have personal knowledge of all matters stated herein and if called as a witness could competently testify thereto, except as to those matters stated upon information and belief, and as to those matters, I believe them to be true.

3. I request this Court grant a restraining order against Respondent, who is my son as he has threatened to kill me and rape me on multiple occasions. He is at a treatment facility and has access to leave when he wishes. I fear that without a protective Court order, he will attempt to kill me or sexually assault me as he has tried in the past.

4. I also request a move out order for Respondent and an order to protect my cat, Mitt which he has abused in the past. Respondent’s Mental Health

5. Respondent has been diagnosed as a chronic paranoid schizophrenic. Respondent also frequently drinks and does drugs such as cocaine and ecstasy. A combination of these factors have led to many occurrences in which he physically threatens to kill me, and to sexually assault me. I believe he struggles with coping with his illness but it is to a point where my safety is being 6 || jeopardized. Moreover, law enforcement is familiar with our family given the amount of times I have been forced to call for my safety including police standoffs, him being tased, and among other things, destruction of property. I am scared and frustrated because I have refrained from escalating this against my son as I love him, but I do believe this is necessary or else will make good on his threats against me. I sincerely hope that he gets the proper assistance to control his illnesses and to seize control of his life back.

6. I am a recovering cancer survivor and my health is not ideal. I am an easy target for my son as he is also physically imposing and much stronger than me which is why I do need an order 14 of protection.

History of Abuse:

16 July 4, 2025

7. My son was under the influence of multiple drugs, including ecstasy and cocaine and was so impaired he could not talk. He had a prostitute over as well. He was waving his arms around threateningly and tried to break my smart phone in my possession and I called the police.

June 22, 2025

8. My son was under the influence of multiple drugs, including ecstasy and cocaine and had a prostitute at the house. My son was hitting the television and broke it which scared me as I was. fearful for my life so I called the police. I feared that my son was going to sexually assault or rape me as he kept telling me to “suck his cock.”

I vehemently refused saying that, “I cannot have sex with my son.”

May 31, 2025

9. I was on the phone wishing my brother a happy birthday. When I got off the phone, my son had knives in his hands and was waving the knives at me threateningly. I feared he would kill me so I was forced to seize the weapons from his hands.

April 13, 2025

10. Respondent has physically abused my cat, Mitt which went so far that Mitt runs away to avoid danger from Respondent.

March 12, 2025

11. Respondent also exerts complete control of the house and tries to financially control me to pay for the sex workers he frequents. He will not let me open any windows in the house, and often tries to take control of the phone we share (not currently in his possession).

December 4, 2024

12. Respondent was drinking and doing

drugs. Out of nowhere and on his own, Respondent called the police and told them he “wanted to be killed executioner style.”

Simultaneously, he was waiving two knives in his hands and I feared he would self-harm or harm me. To avoid conflict, I left the house and waited outside for the police. Police officers mobilized in full force, aiming rifles at him to drop the knives which he did not. There was a police standoff that lasted for hours. A police tank was forced to drive up to him and fire a projectile at him. Thereafter, he was taken to the hospital.

August 31, 2024

13. My son was stark naked and ran to our neighbor’s house, acting strangely. I called the police who knew that he is mentally ill.

October 31, 2024

14. Respondent was drinking heavily and started to smash my dining room table into pieces, and kicked a hole in my wall. After, he tried to sexually assault me by getting into my bed and grabbed my pajamas. I said, “get out” and ran out of the room.

15. Respondent’s conduct has persisted in the past, even prior to 2018, but has escalated more in recent years. However he has threatened to kill me multiple times in the past. He had verbally told me he, “Wished he had killed me a long time ago, by suffocating me with a pillow, or by purchasing a gun to kill me. He often writes “666” and other Satanic themes on walls which I have had to paint over.

16. In 2021, he also failed the gun safety test that needs to be passed before purchasing a gun, and tried to grab the gun from the case and run away. Respondent was arrested and taken to jail.

17. In sum, I respectfully request this court for the following orders in order to protect myself from Respondent’s continual physical and sexual threats against me:

a. Grant my request for a restraining order;

b. Grant an order of protection for my cat, Mitt;

c. Grant orders for Respondent to move out of my home.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property. Please be advised that the trustee may require entity or trust bidders at this trustee’s sale to provide information, documentation and/or certification of the vesting instructions and the data required to be reported pursuant to FinCEN regulations effective for transfers of residential real property to covered transferees on or after March 1, 2026. The required information must be provided to the trustee before a trustee’s deed upon sale will be issued for covered transfers.

Days before the stadium was to host its first FIFAWorldCup match on Friday, about 2,000 hospitality workers at SoFi Stadiumoverwhelmingly ratified a contract agreement, averting a threatened strike.

The agreement between Unite Here Local 11 and stadium food service operator Legends Global was announced Tuesday, less than a week after union members voted 96% to authorize a strike amid stalled negotiations. Union officials said workers on Wednesday ratified the agreement, with 99% voting in favor.

“This contract proves what workers can accomplish when we stand together,” Susana Lahargue, a stand lead at SoFi Stadium, said in a statement released by the union. “We fought for fair wages, stronger job protections, and the right to protect

ourselves and our families. As the world comes to Los Angeles for the World Cup, we are proud to welcome fans knowing that workers have secured a contract that respects our work and our dignity.”

Provisions of the contract include roughly 30% increases in automatic gratuities for bartenders and servers, premium pay for “Mega Events,” raises of $9 per hour for non-tipped workers, salaries of $40 an hour for concession stand workers, and privacy protections aimed at protecting workers’ personal information.

The deal also maintains workers’ right to strike during the World Cup if they believe federal immigration enforcement activity near the stadium threatens their safety.

“This is a historic victory for Los Angeles,” Kurt

Glendale police fatally shotanallegedly knife-wielding suspect last week, officials said.

Patrol officers responded to a report of an assault involving a knife that had just occurred around 9 p.m. on June 8 in the 3700 block of Honolulu Avenue in the Montrose neighborhood.

Upon arrival, officers discovered a victim who had sustained injuries

most recent half-percent increase for homelessness services required special legislation from the state to allow it to exceed the cap on local sales taxes that is in state law,” according to an HJTA a statement. “Raising the sales tax again is unreasonable and unfairly harsh on those who are least able to afford it.”

The county sales tax increased in April 2025 with voter-approved Measure A. The half-cent hike replaced Measure H, a quarter-cent sales tax, that supports homelessness prevention efforts.

Mitchell, who represents the 2nd District, worked with a coalition of health care organizations and workers, called Restore Healthcare for Angelenos, on Measure ER.

According to the motion by Mitchell and Solis, the tax hike would address the immediate need for finan-

By City News Service

Petersen, co-president of United Here Local 11, said. “While the powerful capitulated, these workers stood their ground. The dishwashers, cooks, bartenders and servers stared down FIFA and ICE, refused to trade their dignity for a paycheck, and won one of the strongest stadium contracts in the country. They are the heroes of the World Cup.”

The contract will run through April 2028, just prior to the Southland hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Officials with Legends released a statement previously saying, “We are pleased to have reached an agreement with Unite Here Local 11 and look forward to delivering an outstanding hospitality experience for fans at the FIFA World Cup matches.”

The union had raised

concerns about FIFA’s accreditation process for World Cup workers, which requires the submission of personal information including Social Security numbers and fingerprints. Union officials said workers feared that information would be shared with other agencies, such as U.S. Customs and Border

Enforcement.

The union, along with the ACLU of Southern California, previously filed a complaint urging California Attorney General Rob Bonta to investigate FIFA’s accreditation process, arguing that worker privacy rights could be jeopardized by the collection and sharing of personal informa-

that appeared to be knife wounds. The 58-year-old suspect, who was a neighbor of the victim, then exited a nearby residence armed with a knife. He fled on foot when officers confronted him.

Police pursued the suspect on foot for a short distance. During the chase, “the suspect turned and advanced toward the pursuing officers while still

armed with the knife,” and an officer-involved shooting occurred, according to the Glendale Police Department.

Thesuspectwas pronounced dead at the scene, and no officers were injured, police said.

He was identified Tuesday as Oliver Haas, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.

The knife-assault victim

was transported to a local hospital for treatment of injuries that appeared to be non-life-threatening.

Detectives from the GPD’s Robbery-Homicide Unit also responded and were investigating the incident, police said.

Police asked anyone with information about the fatal shooting and alleged knife attack to contact the GPD at 818-548-4840.

cial support to the county’s health care system as state and federal grants disappear.

“Unfortunately, after exhausting every existing alternative, this temporary emergency measure is the only option that can be implemented quickly enough to prevent hospital closures and the loss of health care access for at least hundreds of thousands of residents,” Mitchell and Solis wrote.

The federal budget legislation, known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” was approved by Congress and signed by President Donald Trump in July 2025, slashed billions in health care funding, according to the motion. Those reductions to Medi-Cal along with eligibility changes will cause county residents lose coverage or experience reduced access to medical care.

LA County has 3.3 million people who rely on Medi-Cal assistance, or 1 in 3 residents, including nearly 1 million children, Mitchell and Solis reported.

“The county’s most impacted departments face projected losses totaling $2.4 billion over the next three years,” the supervisors’ motion reads. “Due to funding losses, county officials have already initiated hiring freezes and are contemplating service consolidations, potential layoffs of 5,000 staff, and facility closures in the coming years.”

State funding cuts to health care programs are also affecting county budgets. California rolled back Medi-Cal coverage for undocumented immigrants and reduced funding for other programs.

In January, the California Department of Health Care

Services stopped enrolling new adult patients who do not have legal immigration status in Medi-Cal, the agency’s state-funded health care program. The state is also expected to stop funding non-emergency dental care for undocumented immigrants already enrolled in the program.

State officials agreed to impose a $30 monthly premium starting in July 2027 for immigrants who remain on Medi-Cal, including those in the U.S. legally. Federal law prohibits funding to support initiatives for immigrants in the country illegally.

The supervisors’ motion details how the county will spend the billions over five years generated by Measure ER:

• up to 45% to the county Department of Health Services;

• 5% to be distributed

tion.

based on patient visits to nonprofit health care providers serving lowincome and underserved county residents;

• about 4% to support health needs and programs in schools, as determined by the governing board of L.A. Care Health Plan;

• 10% is for the LA County Department of Public Health’s core public health functions;

• around 3% to be allocated to the county Department of Public Social Services for Medicaid outreach and enrollment activities as well as volunteer programs;

• 2.5% is for Correctional Health Services;

• approximately 22% goes to the Department of Health Services to safeguard public hospitals and clinics;

• around 5% to support nonprofit hospitals and other entities;

• 2.5% to support in-home supportive services for seniors and people with disabilities;

• about 1% supports the cities of Pasadena and Long Beach, which have health departments separate from the county; and

The newly enacted voter initiative also establishes a nine-member oversight committee tasked with providing fiscal accountability for the money raised. The committee will organize annual independent audits and make recommendations on how to allocate the tax measure’s funds. Countysupervisors appoint committee members to three-year terms.

By City News Service

Thejudgepresiding over ongoing litigation between the UC Regents on one side and the Rose Bowl Operating Co. and the city of Pasadena on the other says he’s been getting unsolicited mail about the case from one member of the public.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Joseph Lipner’s clerk issued a minute order on Wednesday informing the attorneys that the letters have come through regular mail, that he has not read them and that he is throwing all of them in the trash.

“The court advises that it will not inform the parties of further unsolicited, unreviewed communications from this person, but

will continue to dispose of them unread and without any action being taken on them,” according to the minute order, which adds that the judge has forward-

ed the mail to the Office of Court Counsel in order to inform the writer that the

Beach bus returns for summer service to Santa Monica

By City News Service

Low-costbusservice connectingfoothill communities with Santa Monica Beach was available Wednesday as the seasonal Beach Bus program returned for the summer.

Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger announced the return of the program, which is intended to provide affordable beach access for residents living farther inland.

“With the Beach Bus, families from across Los Angeles County can affordably access cooler weather and one of our region’s most precious resources,” Barger said in a statement.

“I’m proud to bring back this program for another summer to connect the foothill communities to our beaches.”

The service provides direct transportation from communities in the San Gabriel and Crescenta valleys to Santa Monica, with roundtrip fares set at $3 for adults and children. Seniors 60 and older and riders with disabilities can travel for $1.50 round trip.

Service from La Crescenta and La Cañada Flintridge began Tuesday and will operate Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays through Sept. 7.

An Altadena route began Thursday and will operate Thursdays and Saturdays through Labor Day.

Service from Charter Oak and Duarte is scheduled to begin June 23 and will operate Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays through Sept. 7.

All routes depart for Santa Monica during the morning and return from the beach at 3:30 p.m.

Officials encouraged riders to reserve seats in advance through LAGoBus.com. Reservations can be made up to 10 days before travel and no later than 10 a.m. the day before departure.

GKN

vice president Steve Carlin apologized to the community on behalf of the company.

“On behalf of GKN and the Garden Grove plant I want to say I’m sorry this event... occurred,” he said. “I understand and realize sitting here tonight how unsettling it is to the greater community, and it’s particularly unsettling to us at GKN because of the long history we’ve had with Garden Grove and how connected we are to the community.”

He said the plant employs 500 workers, most of whom reside in Garden Grove and the surrounding area, he said.

Carlin said the Garden Grove plant is “known throughout the world” for its expertise in producing windows for the aerospace industry.

“It is literally the number

one producer of aerospace transparencies ... basically windows,” Carlin said. “We make the most complex windows out there. ... And they don’t say we’re going to GKN Aerospace or GKN Transparencies for windows ... no matter where in the world. ... They say we’re going to Garden Grove. ... That is literally how that plant is known around the world.”

Carlin added that the company’s executives are “very much aware that we have broken a trust in the last couple of weeks and we have a long way to go to earn back that trust. ... But we will do whatever we can to earn back that trust.”

GKNAerospace announced recently it had donated $3 million to the United Way’s OC Community Resilience Fund to

submissions are not authorized, will not be reviewed or considered and that no action will be taken regarding the letters.

The RBOC and the city of Pasadena contend in the breach of contract/ anticipatory repudiation lawsuit filed last Oct. 29 that the Bruins are wrongfully exploring options to move their future home games to another venue, including SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. The RBOC’s suit seeks to enforce the terms of a lease agreement the plaintiff claims locks UCLA into playing football at the venue until 2044.

assist residents who were impacted by the evacuations. The company also commit-

ted another $1 million for “broader community initiatives” across the county.

GKN previously donated $1 million to the Red Cross when the evacuations were still in effect. Councilwoman Ariana Arestegui said previously the $3 million the company pledged was for a “mutual aid fund... for folks having a really hard time immediately. ... While this $3 million will help some folks... it is not a refund or reimbursement.”

Chaffee said he was “disappointed” the company did not establish a more formal claims procedure for residents to access.

“I feel they’re remiss in not doing that because now they’re facing the litigation, which is more expensive,” Chaffee said. “They could get all of the minor claims out of the way.”

He called the $3 million a “drop in the bucket.”

Authorities last week

had planned to begin the process of removing chemicals from storage tanks at GKN, but the effort had to be postponed “due to unavailable resources.”

Workers were planning to remove the MMA from two tanks next to the one that was damaged at GKN Aerospace. Orange County Health Care Agency spokeswoman Salma Elshakre said Thursday the operation was stalled due to a delay in delivery of sealed trucks needed for the job. When the operation occurs, workers will pump the MMA out of two storage tanks and into the sealed trucks, which will take the chemicals away for disposal. Officials said the chemical has a “distinctive fruity or plastic-like odor” that nearby residents might smell, but most people may not even notice.
