California among 25 states suing Trump over halt to food aid

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

California,24other states and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit Tuesday challenging the Trump administration's halt to food assistance during the nearly monthlong federal government shutdown.

The lawsuit filed in federal court in Massachusetts alleges the administration is using the shutdown as an excuse to unlawfully withhold November funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, despite having available funds, according to court documents. The U.S. Department of Agriculture under President Donald Trump has announced November SNAP benefits will cease because of the shutdown. As a result, 5.5 million Californians including 1.9 million children will lose access to $1.1 billion in food assistance.

“While Donald Trump parades around the world trying to repair the economic damage he's done with his incompetence, he's denying food to millions of Americans who will go hungry next month," Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement. 'It's cruel and speaks to his basic lack of humanity. He doesn't care about the people of this country, only himself."

According to California Attorney General Rob Bonta, the USDA has available funds sufficient to cover all or a large portion of November SNAP benefits as agency sits on billions of dollars in contingency funds.

“Let’s be clear about

what’s happening: For the first time ever, SNAP benefits will not be available to the millions of lowincome individuals who depend on them to put food on the table,” Bonta said in a statement. “November SNAP benefits can and must be provided, even with the government shutdown. USDA not only has authority to use contingency funds, it has a legal duty to spend all available dollars to fund SNAP benefits."

Bonta accused the Trump administration of politicizing food assistance.

"With the holidays around the corner, we are seeing costs for groceries continue to increase and food banks facing unprecedented demand," Bonta said. "We are taking a stand because families will experience hunger and malnutrition if the Trump administration gets its way.”

The White House referred a request for comment to the administration's Office of Management of Budget, which did not immediately respond.

USDA officials blamed the shutdown on Democrats who were aware that SNAP funding was about to run out and accused the opposition of using the families who rely on food aid as political pawns.

“We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats," a USDA spokesperson said in an email to HeySoCal.com. "Continue to hold out for the Far-Left wing of the party or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive timely WIC and SNAP allotments.”

According to the lawsuit, on Sept. 30 the USDA

issued a Lapse of Funding Plan acknowledging that Congress intended for SNAP benefits to continue during a government shutdown and that the department has multiple years of contingency funds available totaling $6 billion.

Nine days after the shutdown's Oct. 1 start, the USDA directed state agencies to put an indefinite hold on November benefits while it began “the process of fact finding and information gathering to be prepared in case a contingency plan must be implemented,” according to a letter the department sent to states.

After no additional guidance for two weeks, a group of attorneys general requested an update on the USDA’s contingency plan, court documents show. The same day, Oct. 24, the USDA

LA County board approves $828M abuse claims settlement

The county Board of Supervisors Tuesday approved an $828 million settlement with 414 plaintiffs who claim they were the victims of childhood sexual abuse at the hands of county workers.

The settlement is on top of an earlier $4 billion settlement reached on behalf of roughly 11,000 claimants. That settlement has already led to financial consequences for the county, including curtailments in spending and many county departments coping with 3% budget cuts during the current fiscal year. Some county services are also undergoing reductions.

The various claims involved in the settlements were the result of AB 218, which temporarily lifted the statute of limitations on allegations of childhood sexual abuse. The claims included in the two settlements involve allegations dating back as far as 1959, targeting workers at the county Probation and Children and Family Services departments.

County officials said that in light of recent allegations that some plaintiffs may have made fraudulent damages claims, every individual abuse claim involved in both settlements will be carefully reviewed. Every claim will be vetted, with individual plaintiffs being required to provide a "detailed, multi-page written factual summary,

under penalty of perjury, of the alleged misconduct and resulting harms."

"The system created by AB 218 is inherently vulnerable to fraud, but the county established fraud protections from the beginning of the settlement discussions and has now strengthened the review process to further ensure that money goes only to the true victims of abuse," Board of Supervisors Chair Kathryn Barger said in a statement. "Our settlements balance our obligation to compensate victims and treat their experiences with compassion with the need to put strong protections in place to protect taxpayers from fraud."

The Board of Supervisors recently directed its attorneys to investigate allegations that some people included in the $4 billion settlement of sex abuse claims were paid to file lawsuits and become plaintiffs in the litigation.

The investigation follows a Los Angeles Times report finding that some plaintiffs in the sweeping sex abuse settlement were paid by vendors to sue the county, and in at least two cases, fabricate claims so they could become plaintiffs.

According to The Times, the plaintiffs in question were all represented by Downtown LA Law Group, or DTLA, which had more than 2,700 cases involved in the abuse settlement.

The law firm categorically denied paying anyone

LA County reports year's 1st death resulting from West Nile virus

ASan Fernando Valley resident's death was the first this year resulting from West Nile virus, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health confirmed Friday.

The individual died of neurological illness caused by severe West Nile virus, officials said. No other details about the person were released.

"To the family and friends grieving the loss of a loved one due to West Nile virus, we extend our heartfelt condolences," county Health Officer Dr. Muntu Davis said in a statement. "This tragic loss reminds us how dangerous mosquito-borne diseases like West Nile virus and dengue can be. Protect yourself and your neighbors by using insect repellent, getting rid of standing water where mosquitoes breed, and keeping window and door screens in good repair. Small actions like these can make a big difference in preventing illness."

So far this year the county has confirmed 14 West Nile infections. The LA County case total excludes the cities of Long Beach and Pasadena, which have their own health agencies. Half of the county's infections were in the San

to sue, and said no representatives of the firm were ever authorized to offer people money. The firm told The Times it has hired an outside company to investigate if any false claims were made.

"The allegations in this story are extremely concerning and describe conduct that is contrary to our firm's values," the firm told The Times in a statement. "While we do not believe they are accurate, we are taking them seriously."

According to The Times, its investigation found seven plaintiffs who said they were paid by "recruiters" for a law firm to become involved in litigation against the county.

In a statement announcing the latest proposed settlement, county officials said any plaintiffs suspected of submitting fraudulent damages claims "will be required to make a substantiated showing before an independent allocator, who may require additional proof of claims."

Any claim found to be fraudulent will result in the plaintiff being removed from the settlement process, meaning they will not receive any money, county officials said.

Pharmacy workers may follow Kaiser nurses onto picket lines

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

Kaiser Permanente may soon face another strike, as the company's pharmacy workers in Southern California did picket captain training and signmaking Saturday.

Negotiations have stalled since April, with the union's contract set to expire Nov. 1. The membership of UFCW Local 770 authorized a strike earlier this month.

UFCW Local 770 represents 2,200 Kaiser pharmacy workers.

Workers are alleging unfair labor practices and seek safe patient care and staffing levels, "a collaborative process in patient scheduling to ensure providers have the time needed to deliver quality care, competitive wages that reflect workers skills and dedication" and the alignment of all Kaiser labor contracts

to expire at the end of October along with the rest of the Alliance of Healthcare Unions, according to the union. The alliance is a coalition of 21 local unions representing an estimated 52,000 Kaiser employees.

Company representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Over 30,000 unionized Kaiser nurses and other health care professionals returned to their jobs Oct. 19 after a five-day strike in California, Oregon and Hawaii. Representatives for those workers resumed bargaining with the company, with additional talks set to start Oct. 28.

"We recognize our employees’ hard work and have offered a strong contract proposal that pays off immediately and over the long term," accord-

ing to a Kaiser statement. "Alliance-represented employees currently earn, on average, 16% more than peers elsewhere. Our offer increases their already abovemarket wages over the 4-year contract, and enhances their high-value medical plans and retiree benefits — benefits that have long made Kaiser Permanente an employer of choice."

Nurses and a wide range of other health care providers are seeking appointments scheduling "in a sensible, patient-focused way," fair pay for health care workers to attract the staff needed to provide quality care and "a real voice" for health care providers in decisions that affect patients' health, according to the United Nurses Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professionals.

Medi-Cal dental, vision benefits underused: DHCS

By Suzanne Potter, Public News Service

Oneinfivepeople on Medi-Cal health insurance does not use their dental benefits, so the California Department of Health Care Services is spreading the word.

The state reinstated full dental for adults on Medi-Cal in 2018 after cutting it in 2009, so some people may not even know they have coverage.

Dana Durham, dental division chief for the California Department of Health Care Services, explained the benefits people can claim.

"Full-scope Medi-Cal dental services includes checkups, cleanings and X-rays, fillings, root canals, and crowns, dentures, braces for qualifying children, emergency care," Durham outlined.

More than 15 million Californians depend on MediCal, including three in seven children in the state but fewer than half of the kids actually

see a dentist. Families can find a participating dentist on the website SmileCalifornia.org. Due to budget cuts, undocumented adults who qualify for Medi-Cal will lose dental benefits, except for emergency services, starting in July of next year.

Donny Shiu, vision program chief for the department, noted Medi-Cal started offering full vision coverage in 2022, which includes a routine eye exam and eyeglasses every 24

months.

"Medi-Cal is addressing these key social drivers of health," Shiu emphasized.

"The ability to see clearly is impactful for low-income adults, seniors, and people with disability who may otherwise go without their vision care."

Vision benefits also cover tests and treatment for glaucoma and macular degeneration, and even artificial eyes for people who lose an eye.

Participation does not require a referral. Eligibility is limited to individuals who meet program criteria and are actively receiving behavioral health services at one of the county-operated outpatient clinics in Fontana, Ontario, and Rialto. Currently, the program is in its pilot phase. For more about the WE2 Program and other Behavioral Health programs, visit https:// wp.sbcounty.gov/dbh/.

Despite higher wages and more accessible retirementplans, the average retirement age has hardly moved over the past 60 years. For men, the average age of retirement is 65, essentially unchanged over six decades. For women, the average retirement age has increased from 53 to 63.

Expectations about retirement are worsening, however. Thirteen percent of workers don’t think they’ll ever retire, and the share of Americans in their 60s or later who have retired has decreased over the past two decades, The Motley Fool reports.

These shifting patterns highlight the need for strategic retirement planning and the use of retirement accounts and other tools to help individuals stay on track for retirement, whenever that day may come.

Key findings

- The average retirement age is 65 for men and 63 for women.

- The average retirement age has changed little since 1962 for men, but increased by ten years for women.

- 47% of workers plan to retire after 65, or not at all.

How the average retirement age has changed since the 1960s

The average retirement age for men is 65 and 63 for women, according to the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College.

For men, the average retirement age has wavered only by a few years since 1962.

For women, however, the average retirement age has increased by 10 years since the 1960s. The steady climb is likely due to more women entering and permanently staying in the workforce and changes to retirement accounts and Social Security benefits to incentivize later retirement.

Percent of Americans retired by age

While many dream of retiring before 65, few actually do. Just 32% of Americans aged 60 to 64 were retired between 2016 and 2022, according to Gallup.

That drops to 11% for those aged 55 to 59, and below 10% for younger Americans.

Retiring at 65 has long been the benchmark, yet just 70% of Americans between 65 and 69 are retired. That share grows to 83% of those 70 to 74 and 88% of those 75 and older.

The percentage of Americans retired across all groups has decreased since 2002, Gallup data shows. The decline signals more people working longer, likely due to financial strain.

Nearly half of Americans expect to retire after 65 or not at all

Thirty-four percent of workers plan to retire after 65 and another 13% have no plans to retire at all, according to a 2024 survey from the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies. Twentythree percent think they’ll retire at 65 and 29% are optimistic that they’ll retire before 65.

Retirement expectations grow more pessimistic with age. Among Gen Z, 42% believe they’ll retire before 65 and 22% think 65 will be the age they retire. Just 24% think they’ll retire later than that. Millennials are similarly hopeful. Thirty-six percent think they’ll retire before 65 and 25% believe they’ll retire at 65.

Older generations expect to retire later. Thirty-seven percent of Gen X don’t think they’ll retire before 65 and 15% don’t think they’ll ever retire. Baby boomers are even less optimistic — 64% see themselves retiring after 65, and like Gen X, 15% don’t think retirement is on the

Career corner: AI and your job search

By Angela Copeland angela@copelandcoaching.com

Oneofthehottest topics this year is artificial intelligence. Companies are desperate to find ways to use AI in all aspects of their business. They hope that AI will produce better, faster results that will ultimately increase quality and decrease costs. Many companies look at AI as the key to their future success.

table at all.

These expectations reveal a widening gap between hopes and reality when it comes to retirement.

Why do early retirement expectations erode as workers age? Younger workers may underestimate retirement costs. Housing, healthcare, and the overall cost of living have continued to increase. Gen Z and millennials may also overestimate their ability to put savings into their retirement accounts, particularly if they run into unexpected life events, like prolonged unemployment, medical expenses, or other issues.

Additionally, older workers are often incentivized to put off retirement and keep working to reach full retirement age and get the most out of their Social Security benefits, and to delay enrolling in Medicare.

Retiring on your terms

The average retirement age over the last 60 years hasn’t moved much for men, but has risen for women. Fewer people are retiring in their 60s than two decades ago, and at least 10% of each generation now thinks they won’t ever retire.

Despite the average retirement age staying steady in the mid-60s, expectations are shifting, particularly for older Americans. For those planning beyond 65, a clear retirement strategy is critical to make the most of their years after work.

Personally, I like to stick to the old-fashioned way of writing emails, for example. However, I’ve seen employers who require employees to install AI on their email platform, to be sure they sound just as smart as possible.

Employers also use AI in their hiring practices. Technologies exist to find candidates online who fit a certain profile. In other words, the employer can give the AI tool the profile of a person they like. The employer can ask the AI tool to find other candidates who look similar. When AI identifies those candidates, AI can then begin an automated email conversation with the candidates to find out if they might be interested in the available job.

AI tools like the one described above allow companies to evaluate large numbers of candidates quickly, and at a lower cost. Companies find these tools helpful, as they receive large volumes of applicants today. The large volume of appli-

cations makes it hard for a company to review applications by hand.

In the same way that companies receive large volumes of applicants, job seekers must submit many applications to receive a job offer. Job seekers must also make it through complex AI systems that are weeding them out. It’s a numbers game.

To cope with the complex world of job searching, job seekers are also turning to AI. They use it to help write cover letters. They also use it to help optimize their resumes. It’s not uncommon for a job seeker to feed a job description and their resume into an AI tool, and to ask for feedback. Companies, after all, are using AI to screen the resumes and to look for specific keywords to be mentioned in each resume.

As I shared, I don’t prefer to use AI for my work. But, I don’t take issue with those

who do. Frankly, it can be smart. It can help to save time, and to increase the odds of being seen by a company.

What’s ironic is the double standard that companies want to hold job seekers to. Many companies include information in applications about how the use of AI is not allowed. I have seen a company go so far as to say that they will scan application documents for the use of AI and will eliminate candidates who use it.

AI should be a two-way street. If companies are going to use it to process many applications at one time, job seekers need to submit many applications at one time. We should all be allowed to play by the same rules in order to get the best results.

The Arcadia Historical Society has teamed up with Arcadia Woman’s Club to host a “Mystery Murder and Casino Night” on Friday, Nov. 14. The evening will feature roulette and blackjack table games, followed by a dinner and a production of an investigation into the murder of winemaker Raul Marquez. It is 1903, and E. J. “Lucky” Baldwin, his daughter Anita Baldwin, Woman’s Club founder Alice Billings, and several Victorian-era players with motives for murder, will be among the guests. Wines and beverages will be available at the casino bar, including Baldwin’s 1899 vintage claret.

There will be several live auction items, highlighted

by an experience at Rancho Santa Anita. The winning bidder and five other guests will be transported by classic automobile to the Queen Anne Cottage. After popping a bottle of bubbly, the guests will be treated to a guided tour of the cottage and then transported to the Peacock Café for dinner.

The event supports the

restorations and renovations of the Woman’s Club’s historic building in downtown Arcadia. Tickets are $100 per guest, which includes drinks at the bar, casino chips, dinner, and an opportunity to win one of several prizes for solving the mysterious murder.

NOTICE OF PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING CITY OF GLENDALE ZONING MAP AMENDMENT, ZONE CHANGE AND STATUTORY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT RELATING TO SIGNAGE IN THE ADVERTISING SIGNAGE OVERLAY ZONE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN:

PROJECT LOCATION OF ZONING MAP

234 SOUTH BRAND BLVD. – DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN (DSP), DOWNTOWN “ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT” DISTRICT

Assessor Parcel No: 5642-013-008

Legal Description: Lots 10 and 11 and Portion of Lot 12 and the vacated alley east of these lots, Tract No. 2461

Project Description

The Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council regarding proposed amendments to Chapter 30.26 – Advertising Signage Overlay Zone (ASOZ) to provide a definition for ASOZ wall sign, and amend the criteria to approve an ASOZ and regulations for signs allowed by the ASOZ. The applicant is also proposing to change the zone map to expand the boundary of the ASOZ overlay zone and identify the locations, sizes and elevations of new signs incorporated into the expanded ASOZ boundary (Code Amendment Case No. PZC 0014-2025). The applicant is Chris Robertson of Caruso..

The ASOZ is located in areas of the City-designated Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) and within the boundaries of the Central Glendale Redevelopment Project Area. The existing ASOZ area is bounded by West Broadway to the north, South Brand Boulevard to the east, Colorado Street to the south and South Columbus Street to the west.

The applicant has also requested a statutory Development Agreement to comply with GMC Section 30.26.100, including the provision of certain public benefits to the City and the Development Agreement term.

Environmental Determination

The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15305 - Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations, because the proposed expansion of the ASOZ is a minor change to existing zoning regulations that does not result in any changes in either permitted land use (commercial) or density. The amendment is also exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 - New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, because the expansion of the ASOZ would allow for a limited number of new, small structures in the form of signage. In addition, the amendment is categorically exempt under Section 15331 - Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation, to the extent it applies to work on historic resources in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.

The ordinance establishes standards for digital signage on buildings, including limitations on size, brightness, location, and design to ensure compatibility with the historic character of affected structures and surrounding areas. Any future sign proposals will remain subject to review against these standards.

Public Hearing

Said matter concerning the proposed amendments will be the subject of a public hearing by the Planning Commission at 633 East Broadway (Municipal Services Building), Room 105, Glendale, CA 91206, on the 19th day of November, 2025, at or after the hour of 5:00 p.m. The Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council concerning this matter.

The meeting can be viewed on Charter Cable Channel 6 or streamed online at: https://www. glendaleca.gov/government/departments/management-services/gtv6/live-video-stream.

For public comments and questions during the meeting call 818-937-8100. City staff will be submitting these questions and comments in real time to the appropriate person during the Planning Commission meeting.

If you desire more information on the proposal, please contact Roger Kiesel, Senior Planner, in the Community Development Department at (818) 937-8152 or email: RKiesel@ glendaleca.gov.

Any person having an interest in the subject project may participate in the hearing, in person or by phone as outlined above, and may be heard in support of his/her opinion. Any person protesting may file a duly signed and acknowledged written protest with the Director of Community Development not later than the hour set for public hearing before the Planning Commission. "Acknowledged" shall mean a declaration of property ownership (or occupant if not owner) under penalty of perjury. If you challenge the decision of this project in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City of Glendale, at or prior to the public hearing. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, please notify the Community Development Department at least 48 hours (or two business days) for requests regarding sign language translation and Braille transcription services.

FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES WITHIN THE BOUNDARY OF THE EATON FIRE

WHEREAS, windstorms of extraordinary magnitude and widespread fires began on January 7, 2025, which included dangerous gusts of wind of over 80 miles per hour and wind-driven and destructive wildfires including the Eaton Fire and the Palisades Fire; and WHEREAS, these conditions caused extensive damage to residential and nonresidential structures, businesses and critical infrastructure in the City of Pasadena (“City”) and the Eaton Fire specifically destroyed 185 structures in the City, a majority of which were zoned single-family residential, displacing Pasadena residents; and WHEREAS, the combined fires in the County of Los Angeles (“County”) collectively burned over 47,900 acres, destroyed or damaged more than 16,250 structures, including homes, small businesses, and places of worship, with initial estimates placing this disaster among the most destructive in California history; and WHEREAS, on January 8, 2025, the Director of Disaster Emergency Services of the City proclaimed the existence of a local emergency; and

WHEREAS, on January 13, 2025, the City Council ratified that January 8, 2025 Declaration of Local Emergency – Windstorms and Fires, which shall be deemed to continue to exist until its termination is proclaimed by the City Council; and

WHEREAS, on July 30, 2025, the Governor issued Executive Order N-32-25, which acknowledged that Senate Bill (“SB”) 9 was not tailored for circumstances like the present situation where more than 13,000 homes were destroyed including more than 5,000 single-family homes in the Palisades Fire that fall into a designated very high fire hazard severity zone; and

WHEREAS, Executive Order N-32-25 recognizes that widespread SB 9 development concentrated in neighborhoods rebuilding from destructive fires in very high fire hazard severity zones has the potential to crowd evacuation routes, and finds the unprecedent scale of the disaster calls for affording local governments increased discretion to ensure that SB 9 development in the rebuilding areas appropriately account for fire safety concerns, and suspends Government Code sections 65852.21 and 66411.7 in very high fire hazard severity zones within the boundaries of the Palisades and Eaton Fires to the extent they limit discretion in approval of applications for development of two units on a single-family parcel or lot split; and

WHEREAS, City residents are in the process of preparing for rebuild and rebuilding, and the City Council finds there is a need to address the current and immediate threat of overcrowding evacuation routes in very high fire hazard severity zones that are within the boundary of the destructive Eaton Fire to preserve public safety during emergencies; and

WHEREAS, approximately 185 parcels in the City of Pasadena are in the Eaton Fire Burn area and very high fire hazard severity zones and approximately 70 of those parcels were damaged or destroyed in the Eaton Fire, and the in absence of limitations on SB 9 lot splits and subdivisions, the density in this area may quadruple without corresponding changes in public facilities to ensure quick evacuation and fire response; and

WHEREAS, higher-density development may increase structure-to-structure ignitions due to closer arrangement of buildings; and

WHEREAS, the climate, topography and vegetation in Pasadena is conducive to annual wildfire events; and

WHEREAS, this area does not have a grid-type street design, and includes non-through streets including dead-ends and cul-desacs, meaning that residents may be limited to a single route for egress and the fire department may have a single route for ingress, which may slow evacuation and fire response; and

WHEREAS, the City has designated Michillinda Avenue as the evacuation route for this area which is within “Zone 3,” and other

north-south roads are less desirable for evacuation because of their narrow width and the potential to be impassable depending on emergency conditions; and

WHEREAS, this area has irregular parcel shapes some with significant grade or slope on the parcel, and topographical features like proximity to steep slopes, can present a threat to homes or developments in fire events because fire flow rate-of-spread increases as slope increase; and

WHEREAS, this area is at risk from landslides and debris flows because the hillside north of the area has been subjected to wildland fire less than a year ago, the City’s mountain and foothill areas are vulnerable to slope instability has been identified as area of historic landslides, the area is located near the Sierra Madre Fault; and

WHEREAS, this ordinance is necessary to mitigate and avoid the impacts of increased density that would slow and impede quick ingress and egress to the subject area, and failing to control increased density poses an immediate threat to public health, safety and welfare and adverse impacts, particularly in fire, landslide and debris flow events; and

WHEREAS, under Government Code Section 8634, during a local emergency, the City Council may promulgate orders and regulations necessary to provide for the protection of life and property; and

WHEREAS, under Government Code Section 65858, the City Council may adopt by a four-fifths vote an interim zoning ordinance to protect the public safety, health, and welfare; and

WHEREAS, the City provided notice pursuant to Government Code Section 65090 and held a public hearing on October 20, 2025, regarding this proposed ordinance; and

WHEREAS, the City Council makes the finding as stated in the recitals herein that there is a local emergency that requires the City Council to promulgate this ordinance to protect life and property, and there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare and that the approvals of certain entitlements required to comply with the Zoning Code would result in a threat to the public health, safety or welfare by failing to appropriately account for fire safety concerns in the very high fire hazard severity zones in the boundaries of the Eaton Fire;

NOW THEREFORE, the People of the City of Pasadena ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. This ordinance, due to its length and corresponding cost of publication, will be published by title and summary as permitted in Section 508 of the Pasadena City Charter. The approved summary of this ordinance is as follows: “Summary

This ordinance extends Ordinance No. 7455 prohibiting urban lot splits and construction of multiple dwellings pursuant to Senate Bill 9 in very high fire hazard severity zones within the boundary of the Eaton Fire in the City of Pasadena for an additional period of 22 months and 15 days.

Ordinance No. 7457 shall take effect upon publication.”

SECTION 2. This ordinance extends Ordinance No. 7455 prohibiting urban lot splits and construction of multiple dwellings pursuant to Senate Bill 9 in very high fire hazard severity zones within the boundary of the Eaton Fire in the City of Pasadena for an additional period of 22 months and 15 days.

SECTION 3. The amendments adopted under this ordinance are adopted pursuant to the Governor’s Executive Order N-32-25 (July 30, 2025) and shall remain in effect until such order ceases to be effective, unless the effect of such order is adopted into law permanently.

The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this section, and each and every subsection, sentence, clause and phrase thereof not declared invalid or unconstitutional, without regard to whether any portion of the ordinance would be subsequently declared invalid or unconstitutional.

Support efforts ramp up in light of pending lapse in CalFresh benefits

By City News Service

On the day California and 20 other states suedthefederal government for failing to fund November food benefits, L.A. Care Health Plan announced Tuesday it was committing $5.4 million to support Los Angeles County food banks, while community organizations announced plans for a collection drive to support local residents in need.

Due to the federal government shutdown, CalFresh benefits are expected to be delayed in November, impacting millions of people across the state, including nearly 1.5 million in Los Angeles County and more than 310,000 in Orange County.

CalFresh is the California version of the federal food assistance program also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly referred to as EBT or food stamps. The program is entirely federally funded, but is managed by states and administered by counties.

In light of the benefits delay, L.A. Care Health Plan, billed as the nation's largest publicly operated health plan, announced Tuesday it was providing $5.4 million to help provide food for impacted families. Of that amount, $5 million will go to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, YMCA of Metropolitan Los

Angeles and Food Forward. The funding is expected to support 10,000 to 15,000 households in the county each week in November, according to the Health Plan.

The additional $400,000 will go toward advancing food security efforts and bolstering food distribution efforts in the county.

"We know that good health starts with access to nutritious food," Martha SantanaChin, CEO of L.A. Care, said in a statement. "Many of our members and their communities are facing real hardship right now, and we're grateful to be able to offer help when it's needed most -- because no one should have to choose between paying your bills and putting food on the table."

Meanwhile, several community organizations collectively known as the Los Angeles Interfaith Coalition for Hope and Justice on Tuesday announced an emergency "S.O.S. -- Save Our Selves" food and supply drive to support those impacted by the lapse in benefits. The effort will mobilize churches, mosques, synagogues and community centers across Los Angeles to provide food, diapers and other supplies to families in need.

Donations will be collected at multiple locations, and a central distribution center will be established at True LA

Church at 1254 W. Manchester Ave., and 2nd Call, 5110 Obama Blvd.

"This is not about politics, it's about people," Cheryl Branch, CEO of Los Angeles Metropolitan Churches, said in a statement. "We refuse to stand by while thousands of Los Angeles families face hunger because of government dysfunction."

The suspension of benefit funding is expected to impact about 42 million Americans, including 5.5 million in California, according to the state. More than 63% of California's SNAP participants are children or elderly.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services has already been reaching out to CalFresh recipients to ensure they are aware of the situation and urging people with immediate needs to contact local food banks.

Orange County officials urged CalFresh recipients to call 211 or visit 211oc.org to learn about food, housing and utility resources. The also urged recipients to keep meeting all of the program's reporting requirements to ensure their benefits resume quickly when the shutdown ends.

The state of California joined about 20 other states on Tuesday in suing the federal government, calling

Kidspace Children’s Museum ‘Here I Am’ exhibit centers artists with disabilities

Kidspace Museum and Tierra del Sol Foundation have announced “Here I Am,” the latest art exhibition in their ongoing partnership supporting artists with disabilities. “Here I Am” opens with a private reception on Thursday and will be on view at Kidspace through early 2026.

For more than a decade, Kidspace has worked with Tierra del Sol Foundation to advance its mission to

champion inclusion and value for people with disabilities through creative pathways to employment, education, and the arts. This is the third collaborative art exhibition.

“Here I Am” features works by 18 Tierra del Sol artists, with Tierra artist Bill Marshall serving as curator. The artists explore the relationship between identity and place—depicting people in a range of environments, from everyday spaces to

on it to dip into an estimated $6 billion U.S. Department of Agriculture reserve fund designed to maintain food assistance in emergency situations -- such as a government shutdown, according to the governor's office.

"November SNAP benefits can and must be provided, even with the government shutdown," state Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a statement. "USDA not only has authority to use contingency funds, it has a legal duty to spend all available dollars to fund SNAP benefits."

Gov. Gavin Newsom last week deployed the California National Guard to the state's food banks to assist, as well as fast-tracking $80 million in state funds to help alleviate

the crisis.

In a social media post last week, Brooke Rollins, the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, blamed Democrats for the government shutdown and suspension of SNAP benefits.

"Because of the Democrat shutdown, there are not enough funds to provide SNAP for 40 million Americans come Nov. 1," Rollins posted on X. "Democrats are putting free health care for illegal aliens and their political agenda ahead of food security for American families. Shameful."

According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, SNAP has a contingency fund of about $6 billion, more than $5 billion of which should be available for use toward SNAP benefits, covering a large

portion of the roughly $8 billion due in November.

The USDA head can also move funds among different nutrition programs, which it did earlier this month, transferring $300 million in tariff revenue to the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, also known as WIC. Democrats and Republicans blame each other for the government shutdown, with Democrats refusing to vote on a budget bill without an extension of subsidies under the Affordable Care Act to keep health care premiums down. But Republicans refuse to budge on the matter, saying the health care issue can be debated later since the health care subsidies are in place until the end of the year.

abstract universes.

The exhibition invites viewers to consider how personal identity can be shaped by environment and, in turn, how our surroundings can reflect who we are. This exchange between self and place becomes a source of creative energy. As curator and artist, Bill Marshall explains, “I feel like I am abstract, and it connects me to my work.”

“Creativity is a bridge

that connects people of all ages and abilities,” said Lisa Clements, CEO of Kidspace.

“Partnering with Tierra del

Sol deepens our commitment to inclusion and amplifies the voices of artists who inspire us to see the world in new

ways.” Visit kidspacemuseum. org for more information about Kidspace programs.

SoCal man pleads guilty to acting as foreign agent for China

By City News Service

ASouthernCalifornia man who once worked as the treasurer for the city council campaign of a local politician pleaded guilty Monday in downtown Los Angeles to illegally acting on behalf of the People's Republic of China.

Yaoning "Mike" Sun, 65, of Chino Hills, entered a plea in downtown Los Angeles to a federal count of acting as an illegal agent of a foreign power, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Sentencing is set for Feb. 9, at which time Sun could face up to 10 years behind bars.

Court papers show Sun worked for an unnamed Southern California politician who was running for city council of a city in the area — not named in court documents — three years ago. The candidate was elected to the council in November 2022.

Sources familiar with the case say the unnamed politician is Arcadia's nowMayor Pro Tem Eileen Wang. Email and phone messages left for Wang on Monday were not immediately answered.

In December, after federal charges were filed against Sun, Arcadia City

Manager Dominic Lazzaretto posted a letter to the community on the city's website saying that Sun was listed as the treasurer for Wang's campaign in 2022. Lazzaretto said Wang had spoken to the FBI and was not arrested or charged with any crimes and would fully cooperate with federal authorities.

Sun's involvement with the city of Arcadia is considered an isolated incident, Lazzaretto wrote, with no known association with other members of the Arcadia City Council. Also, he said, Sun had no involvement whatsoever with Arcadia business or decision-making.

The criminal complaint against Sun in Los Angeles federal court charged him with acting as an illegal agent of a foreign power.

He was also charged with conspiring with another man, John Chen, also known as Chen Jun, who was sentenced to federal prison last year for acting as an illegal agent of the PRC and plotting to target United States-based practitioners of Falun Gong, a spiritual practice banned in China, federal prosecutors said.

Sun acknowledged in his plea agreement that at

the direction and control of Chinese government officials, he coordinated with individuals in the U.S. to advance the interests of the PRC by, among other things, promoting pro- Beijing propaganda..

Federal prosecutors said that in February 2023, Sun drafted a report for PRC officials to solicit additional money for his work in the Southland. The report summarized his personal experience, including past service in the People's Liberation Army.

In the report, according to Sun's plea agreement, the defendant stated that he had worked in the United States to lead "delegations of U.S. dignitaries and cultural workers to China" and, during the 2022 midterms, helped the candidate thought to be Wang win the election for a city council seat in Arcadia. In the report, Sun called the candidate a "new political star," the DOJ said.

Before acting on behalf of the PRC, Sun admitted, he did not notify the United States attorney general, as required by law, that he was acting in the U.S. as an agent of the PRC, according to the plea agreement.

During the city council

campaign, Sun allegedly communicated with Chen regarding his efforts to get the politician elected. Chen discussed with Chinese government officials how the PRC could "influence" local politicians in the United States, particularly on the issue of Taiwan, according to the complaint.

In November 2022, shortly after the politician was elected to the city council, Chen instructed Sun to prepare a report on the election that was sent to Chinese government officials, who responded posi-

Food aid

tively and expressed thanks, according to the complaint affidavit.

Chen also sent a message to the newly elected politician stating that the politician was "doing a good job, I hope you can continue the good work, make Chinese people proud," the affidavit states.

About a month after the election, Chen arranged a lunch at a Rowland Heights restaurant with Sun and others, a gathering that Chen described to a PRC official as a "core member lunch," the affidavit says.

Court papers state Chen subsequently described the lunch as "successful" as participants agreed to establish a "U.S.-China Friendship Promotional Association."

"This case highlights the breadth of the PRC's relentless intelligence and malign influence activities targeting the United States," according to a statement from Akil Davis, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Los Angeles bureau, when charges were brought against Sun.

formally suspended SNAP benefits indefinitely.

"In a separate USDA memo, it wrote that USDA cannot legally use the $6 billion contingency fund to provide SNAP benefits — the opposite of what it said previously," according to Bonta's office. "It also said it could not use that money because it might be needed for disaster relief in the event of a future hurricane or tornado, even though the agency has previously said it could use contingency funds to cover SNAP benefits during a funding lapse."

SNAP provides monthly

food benefits to low-income families in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. California's version of SNAP is called the CalFresh Program run by the state Department of Social Services.

More than 63% of CalFresh participants are children or elderly, and many veterans — nearly 85,000 in California in recent years — live in households that depend on SNAP for their nutrition needs, according to Bonta's office.

The lawsuit argues that under federal law, the USDA

must provide food assistance and cannot suspend all benefits indefinitely while sitting on a multibilliondollar contingency fund.

Administration officials' refusal is contrary to federal law and violates the Administrative Procedures Act, or APA according to court documents.

An Oct. 24 USDA statement countered that "SNAP contingency funds are only available to supplement regular monthly benefits when amounts have been appropriated for, but are insufficient to cover, benefits. The contingency fund is not

available to support (fiscal year) 2026 regular benefits, because the appropriation for regular benefits no longer exists" as a result of the shutdown.

USDA officials also said "the contingency fund is a source of funds for contingencies, such as the Disaster SNAP program, which provides food purchasing benefits for individuals in disaster areas, including natural disasters like hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods, that can come on quickly and without notice."

The attorneys general and governors' lawsuit noted that the USDA has histori-

cally funded SNAP benefits during prior lapses in appropriations.

"In doing an about face and suspending November SNAP benefits without adequately considering the impacts on states, among other things, the agency violated the APA’s requirement to engage in reasoned decision-making," according to Bonta's office.

Bonta is co-leading the lawsuit with the attorneys general from Arizona, Massachusetts and Minnesota. Gas from Connecticut, Colorado, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois,

Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin also joined the coalition along the governors of Kansas, Kentucky and Pennsylvania.

SNAP recipients nationwide totaled 41 million last year, according to the nonprofit Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. USDA data shows nationwide SNAP benefits averaged $8.3 billion per month in 2024. The lawsuit's court filing is available on the California attorney general's website.
