LA County looks for oversight of homeless services funding
By City News Service
Days after announcing a review of the Los AngelesHomeless Services Authority's financial and operational practices due to what the county called "serious gaps" in oversight, the Board of Supervisors Tuesday approved a motion calling on the county to directly oversee payment of funds to contracted service providers.
According to the motion bySupervisorLindsey Horvath, there are "significant balances of county funding still to be processed by LAHSA and distributed to providers contracted to perform countyfunded programming through June 30, 2026."
The motion directs county administrators to "develop and directly oversee" a plan to pay homeless-services providers until all county funds have been paid to the contracted agencies.
The county has already created its own Department of Homeless Services and Housing, pulling much of the funding it previously provided to LAHSA. Beginning with the 2026-27 fiscal year, the county will directly contract with service providers — rather than going through LAHSA — for most programs, although it will
continue to provide some limited funds to LAHSA.
The county last week sent a letter to LAHSA CEO Gita O'Neill notifying the agency of the evaluation of the organization's financial and operational processes.
The review will focus on
LAHSA's ability to process invoices, which county officials say has resulted in delays in payments to county-funded service providers, as well as failure to issue scheduled pay advances at
the end of January 2026.
"Our communities are done with LAHSA's mismanagement and payment delays. These failures have destabilized providers and eroded public trust — and they must

Southland Democrats condemn US attack on Iran
LBy City News Service and Sta
ocalDemocrats
Saturday condemned the Trump administration's overnight attack on Iran, calling it an illegal action taken without authorization from Congress, while Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said police would be providing extra security at local places of worship and other sensitive areas of the city.
"We are closely monitoring for any threats to Los Angeles' public safety amid military action in the Middle East," Bass said in a statement. "While there are no known credible threats at this time, LAPD has stepped up patrols near places of worship, community spaces, and other areas of the city, and we will remain vigilant in protecting our city.
"We understand that many Angelenos are affected and deeply concerned, and encourage everyone to voice their views in a peaceful way."
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said it was "closely monitoring the evolving situation in the Middle East. We are in communication with our federal, state, and local law
enforcement partners and will continue to assess any potential impacts to Los Angeles County. At this time, there are no known credible threats to our community. However, out of an abundance of caution, and in recognition of current religious observances, the department has increased patrols around places of worship, cultural institutions, and other prominent locations throughout the County."
Gov. Gavin Newsom's office said state officials were also monitoring the situation.
"California is closely monitoring the evolving situation in Iran and the surrounding region. Our homeland security and emergency management teams are working with federal partners to prepare for any impacts here at home," the governor's office said. "The State Threat Assessment Center is actively coordinating with local law enforcement partners. There is no specific or credible threat to California at this time, and we remain fully prepared and vigilant."

Violent crime on the bus and rail system decreased by 6.7% in 2025 compared to 2024, reaching its lowest level since 2021, Metro announced Friday.
The transit agency touted violent crime on its system decreased for the second consecutive year with customer satisfaction with safety measures reaching record highs.
LA Metro touts decrease in crime for 2nd year in a row
By City News Service
"The Metro Board has made public safety our highest priority, and we are seeing measurable returns on those investments," Metro Board Chair and Whittier City Councilman Fernando Dutra said in a statement.
"By strengthening access controls, expanding frontline presence and building a modern Department of Public Safety, we are creating a safer transit environment for riders, employees, and communities across Los Angeles," Dutra added.
Metro also reported Friday it experienced a 33% decrease in crimes such as trespassing, narcotics and weapons. Crimes against property such as theft and vandalism remained relatively flat year-over-year, in part due to increased copper wire theft.
The agency stated it is working on mitigation efforts to address and reduce copper wire theft.
According to a survey of more than 9,000 riders produced in October, Metro found that its customer satisfaction rate stood at 87%, which officials attribute to a cleaner and safer system.
"Our riders are telling us they feel the difference," Metro CEO Stephanie Wiggins said in a statement. "They see a more visible presence, stronger access controls and teams ready to help. Safety and customer experience go hand in hand, and our 2025 results show that when we invest in both, we create a transit system people can trust."
After experiencing an
increase in bus operator assaults in past years, the agency completed the installation of barriers to protect its bus drivers in 2024. The project resulted in a 50.5% year-over-year reduction in bus operator assaults, and a 67% decrease in the number of operator assaults that required medical transport, according to Metro.
Metro's efforts to bolster public safety came in response to high-profile crimes reported on its bus and rail system.
The agency established a Department of Public Safety and appointed former San Francisco Police Chief William "Bill" Scott as the inaugural chief of police and emergency management.
The agency has increased law enforcement presence on its system through contacts with the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Metro stated that officers conducted approximately 123,000 bus boardings and more than 116,000 train boardings. Officers also performed 500,000 TAP card inspections.
More than 2,300 indi-
viduals were arrested for criminal activity, such as possession of illegal weapons and narcotics, and individuals with outstanding warrants conducted during TAP card inspections.
"While we continue to contract with LAPD and LASD, we are simultaneously building a new Department of Public Safety that will balance the enforcement work of sworn officers with transit security officers and care-based services, such as homeless outreach workers, community intervention specialists, licensed social and psychological clinicians, peer support specialists and ambassadors," Scott said in a statement. "Through this integrated public safety ecosystem, we are transforming safety across our transit system."
The agency has taken steps to crack down on fare evasion. In 2025, Metro expanded its TAP-to-Exit pilot program for several end-of-line stations.
At stations where the program was implemented, Metro reported security incidents on the Transit Watch App declined by 40% and
rider satisfaction with the program reached 95%.
In March 2025, the agency launched a pilot program, installing taller fare gates at 22 of its stations. Security concerns, vandalism/graffiti andcleanliness-related reports declined by 69% at stations with new gates.
An additional six stations are scheduled to receive taller fare gates this spring. Metro officials said they are training and preparing its emergency preparedness as large-scale events come to the region, starting with eight games of the World Cup at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood.
As part of its work, in April 2025, Metro opened its 26,000-square-foot Emergency Security Operations Center.
This week, metro announced its safety hub on its website, which can be viewed at metro.net/safetysupport/. The page will make it easier for riders to find information and track Metro's progress on making the transit system safer. The webpage also features a dashboard with statistical information on crimes.
As commuters move about, Metro police officers wait outside a train before it departs the station.

LA rock radio personality
Uncle Joe Benson dead at 76
By City News Service
Longtime Los Angeles rock radio personality and auto racetrack emcee Uncle Joe Benson has died at the age of 76, it was announced Friday.
Benson, who lived in Southern California, died early Feb. 24 following a battle with Parkinson's disease and related complications, his family posted Friday on social media.
Known for a deep, rumbling voice and wide knowledge of rock music, Benson spent more than 30 years at 95.5 KLOS. He also worked for a time at KLSX, then moved to morning drive shifts at Arrow 93.1 and 100.3 The Sound before finishing his career on Ultimate Classic Rock streaming worldwide from 2018 until 2024.
Benson was known for his "The 7th Day" show, which aired Sunday nights
on KLOS, and featured an album played in its entirety.
Another KLOS program
Benson hosted was "Local Licks," in which he spotlighted buzzworthy local bands, such as future hard rock legends Motley Crüe and Ratt.
He also helmed "Off the Record," a nationally syndicated interview program, and hosted the end-of-year "Uncle Joe's
Rockin' Christmas," which featured rockers playing their versions of Christmas songs.
Over the years, Benson interviewed Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, Don Felder of the Eagles, Cheap Trick, Pat Benatar, and Steve Perry of Journey, among many others.
Along with his radio work, Benson penned a series of "Uncle Joe's Record Guides." In his spare time, he was the track announcer at the now- defunct California Speedway for more than 20 years.
"A radio legend silenced," former KLOS and The Sound DJ Rita Wilde posted on Facebook. "Nothing but love and respect. At least you aren't in pain anymore. Love you forever, JB."
He is survived by his wife Jan, and two children, Jay and Jeremy.
LA Kings fire Jim Hiller, promote D.J. Smith to interim coach
By City News Service
TheKingsnewly named interim head coach, D.J. Smith, Monday begins his first full day with that promotion after the team announced Sunday they had fired Jim Hiller after about 2 years on the job.
The firing came the morning after the Kings ended a five-game losing streak with a 2-0 victory over the Calgary Flames. Prior to that they lost 8-1 to the Edmonton Oilers at home on Feb. 26 and 6-4 to the Vegas Golden Knights the night before, also at home. Those defeats followed losses in their final three games before the long Olympics break.
The Kings are in fifth place in the Pacific Division with 62 points and a record of 24-21-14, and would not make the NHL playoffs if the regular season ended Monday.
"Couple of tough games going into the Olympic break and I was hoping that the time off and then the mini training camp, that our team was able to respond," Kings Vice President and General Manager Ken Holland said Sunday.
"Tough couple of games coming out, especially the game against Edmonton on Thursday night. On Friday, I did a lot of thought. I didn't do it on Friday because Friday was an off day, the players weren't here and we played at 4 on Saturday. I didn't want just a new coach behind (the bench) and make the move going into a
game," he added.
Hiller, 56, was 93-58-24 as the Kings' coach.
"I want to thank Jim Hiller for his dedication, professionalism, and the commitment he showed to our players and our team every day. He is a respected coach and person, and we appreciate the work he's done behind our bench," Holland said in a statement earlier Sunday.
"At this point in the season, we believe a change in leadership is necessary to give our group the best opportunity to reach its potential and compete at the level we expect. These decisions are never made lightly, but our responsibility is to position this team for success now and moving forward."
Smith, 48, is in his second full season as asso-
ciate coach of the Kings. He joined the organization on Feb. 5, 2024, after serving as head coach of the Ottawa Senators from 2019-24. Smith also served as an assistant coach for the Toronto Maple Leafs from 2015-19, spending four seasons behind the bench alongside Hiller before being hired by Ottawa. Prior to his NHL coaching career, the native of Windsor, Ontario, spent a decade coaching in the Ontario Hockey League Hiller was named interim coach of the Kings on Feb. 2, 2024, replacing the fired Todd McLellan. He was named coach on a permanent basis on May 22 of that year. He was previously an assistant coach with the New York Islanders, Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings.

'One
Battle' wins PGA top prize, is front-runner for best pic Oscar
By City News Service
It's been one award after another for the Paul ThomasAndersonhelmed white-knuckler, "One Battle After Another," and Saturday evening was no exception, as the Producers Guild endowed the movie with its top prize at the 37th annual PGA Awards at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel in Century City.
The PGA honor for theatrical motion pictures is traditionally a strong indicator of which film will win the best picture Oscar. Since the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences expanded from five to 10 nominees in 2010, only four films have won the best picture Oscar without first winning the PGA Award. Last year, both honors went to "Anora."
According to the PGA, 17 of the previous 22 winners of the guild's motion award have won the best picture prize at the Oscars.
Other nominees that were considered competitive for the guild's Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures included
"Frankenstein," "Hamnet" and "Sinners." Also nominated were "Bugonia," "F1," "Marty Supreme," "Sentimental Value," "Train Dreams" and "Weapons."
On the small screen, drama television, "The Pitt" beat out "Pluribus," "Severance" and "The White Lotus, among others, to continue its awards-gathering. On the comedy side, "The Studio" continued its run of success this awards season.
Presenters included Amy Madigan, Delroy Lindo, Elle Fanning, Emily
V Gordon, Greta Gerwig, Ike Barinholtz, Jacob Elordi, Jason Ritter, Jessie Buckley, Joachim Trier, Kate Hudson, Kerry Condon, Kumail Nanjiani, Lisa Gilroy, Mariska Hargitay, Michael Keaton, Paul Mescal, Ralph Farquhar, Regina Hall, Seth Rogen, Teyana Taylor, Thomas Lennon, Vinny Thomas, Wagner Moura, William H. Macy and Wumni Mosaku.
A complete list of winners is online at producersguild.org/2026-pgaawards-winners.
Hitch is a two-year-old gray pittie at Pasadena Humane with a charming, truly one-of-a-kind personality. He particularly enjoys heading out to explore, taking his time to sniff and investigate everything along the way. He already knows cues like “sit” and “down,” and he enjoys enrichment activities that keep his mind busy. While he’s not overly focused on toys, he finds plenty of joy in the little things, like the satisfying crunch of a leaf on a stroll! Hitch is a thoughtful, quirky companion who marches to the beat of his own drum. He settles nicely after outings and has shown himself to be an easygoing, good-natured boy. He’s currently available for a 10-day adoption trial, giving potential adopters the chance to see just how special life with Hitch can be.
Zelma A526836
Zelma is a spirited three-year-old German Shepherd at Pasadena Humane with energy to spare and so much love to give! She’s an active, outdoorsy girl who enjoys long walks, chasing after toys, and keeping an eye out for squirrels. She’s curious and playful, enjoys splashing around in water, and is always ready for her next adventure. After she’s had a chance to burn off some energy, Zelma is happy to settle in close and lean into her people for pets and scritches. Zelma is looking for a patient, understanding home that will help her continue to build confidence. She would do best in an adults-only, low-traffic home in a quieter neighborhood, ideally with easy access to an outdoor space where she can stretch her legs. Zelma would likely thrive as the only pet in the home. With consistency, positive reinforcement, and plenty of reassurance, this bright and affectionate girl is sure to form an unbreakable bond with her new family.

Tax breaks for homeowners in 2026: What changed, what expired,
By Michael Letendre for NewHomeSource via Stacker
The dust has settled on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and the tax landscape for homeowners looks quite a bit different than it did a year ago.
Some provisions expired while others expanded, and a few long-debated rules are now permanent. What’s less clear is who actually benefits from these changes — and who doesn’t.
To make sense of it all, NewHomeSource, a new home listings site with customer reviews, spoke with Keith Schroeder, a Wisconsin-based tax expert who runs The Wealthy Accountant blog, to break down the most important changes for home-
owners in 2026.
Note: These changes affect returns filed in 2026 for the 2025 tax year, unless otherwise noted.
SALTdeduction increases
“The biggest change benefiting homeowners for 2025 is the state and local tax deduction,” Schroeder said. “Since 2018, SALT was limited to $10,000. That increases to $40,000 in 2025.”
For homeowners in high-tax states, this is the most important headline.
In 2026, the cap rises to $40,400 and will climb 1% annually through 2029 before reverting to $10,000 in 2030. However, how much you
can actually deduct depends on your situation.
“This is not a straight $40,000 for every homeowner,” Schroeder said. “This is a deduction up to $40,000 for combined SALT, including things like income taxes, real estate property taxes, and personal property taxes.”
It’s also important to note that not all homeowners will benefit from the higher SALT cap. Many households take the standard deduction rather than itemizing, meaning the expanded SALT limit may not affect their tax bill at all. Renters and lower-income homeowners are also less likely to see direct benefits from this change.
Feb. 25
At 1 a.m., an officer patrolling the 1600 block of South Myrtle saw a subject in a park after hours. The officer made contact with him. An investigation revealed he was in possession of a controlled substance. He was arrested, cited, and released at the scene.
At 1:02 a.m., officers patrolling the 200 block of Fig saw two subjects in a known vacant residence. The homeowner was contacted and requested that the subjects be removed and arrested. The subjects were arrested, cited and released at the scene.
At 9:57 a.m., a victim in the area of Myrtle and Lemon walked into the MPD lobby to report that his catalytic converter was stolen on Feb. 23.This investigation is continuing.
At 3:14 p.m., an officer was patrolling the area of Myrtle and Cherry when she saw a subject who appeared to be intoxicated. The officer made contact with the subject and determined he was too intoxicated to care for himself. He was arrested and transported to the MPD jail to be held for a sobering period.
and what matters most
For homeowners who don’t itemize — or whose deductions don’t exceed the standard deduction — the
higher SALT cap may be largely irrelevant. PMI is deductible again Private mortgage insur-

REAL ESTATE
Tax breaks
ance premiums (PMI) are tax-deductible again starting in 2026. This deduction had expired after 2021 and has now been revived under the new tax law; PMI will now be treated as deductible mortgage interest.
To qualify, adjusted gross income must be below $100,000 for single and joint returns, with the deduction phasing out completely at $110,000. When the deduction was last available, qualified homeowners received an average deduction of about $2,364.
This primarily affects conventional-loan buyers who put down less than 20% and are required to carry PMI. FHA mortgage insurance premiums are treated differently and do not qualify
under the same rules.
If you are a first-time buyer stretching a bit and carrying a PMI, this could help. It won’t change the world, but it can take a bit of the sting out of your monthly payment.
The $750,000 mortgage interest limit is permanent
The mortgage interest deduction limit, which dropped from $1 million to $750,000 under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, is now permanent. While this isn’t new for most homeowners, the permanence of the rule removes lingering uncertainty.
“Taxpayers have lived with this restriction since 2018, so it is business as usual,” Schroeder said. “Income property owners
wish to shift mortgage debt from their primary residence and second home to the income property.”
Home equity loan interest remains nondeductible unless the funds are used to improve your home and fall under the $750,000 limit.
As with SALT, this deduction only applies to homeowners who itemize rather than take the standard deduction. For many firsttime buyers, especially those early in their mortgage, the standard deduction may still be the better option.
Energy credits are gone
Not all homeownerfriendly provisions survived the latest round of tax changes. The Residential Clean Energy Credit and
Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit expired at the end of 2025. If you made qualifying improvements last year, you can still claim them on your 2025 return.
But for 2026 and beyond, no residential energy credits are available. Schroeder says that shouldn’t stop homeowners from making efficiency upgrades.
“The tax credit tail should not wag the dog,” he said. “The real issue is ROI. Does the investment make sense? If yes, then it is still worth pursuing.”
Energy costs keep creeping up, and efficiency upgrades can still pay for themselves over time.
“The value of energy properties is still a powerful
wealth-building tool,” Schroeder said.
What first-time buyers should consider Schroeder’s advice for buyers entering the market in 2026 is to focus on the fundamentals.
“Real estate is local,” he said. “Austin, Texas, is a different animal from Green Bay, Wisconsin.”
While tax breaks help, they shouldn’t be the main driver in where you choose to live.
“Taxes are the frosting on the cake. If taxes are the only reason to do the deal, there might be issues. And if lack of tax incentives make the deal not work, look for another opportunity. That is just how real estate works.”
The bottom line
The biggest takeaway from the 2026 tax changes is that headline-grabbing deductions don’t automatically translate into savings for every homeowner.
Every homeowner’s situation is different, and it’s worth spending the time to make sure you have done your homework when it comes to your taxes.
“When taxpayers neglect their due diligence, they can get in trouble quickly,” he said. “It is a mistake to think your neighbor’s or coworker’s situation is exactly like yours. It probably isn’t.”

Trump officials attended a summit of election deniers who want the president to take over the midterms
By Doug Bock Clark, ProPublica

Severalhigh-ranking federal election officials attended a summit last month at which prominent figures who worked to overturn Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election pressed the president to declare a national emergency to take over this year’s midterms.
According to videos, photos and social media posts reviewed by ProPublica, the meeting’s participants included Kurt Olsen, a White House lawyer charged with reinvestigating the 2020 election, and Heather Honey, the Department of Homeland Security official in charge of election integrity. The event was convened by Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser, and attended by Cleta Mitchell, who directs the Election Integrity Network, a group that has spread false claims about election fraud and noncitizen voting.
Election experts say that the meeting reflects an intensifying push to persuade Trump to take unprecedented actions to affect the vote in November. Courts have largely blocked his efforts to reshape elections through an executive order, and legislation has stalled in Congress that would mandate strict voter ID requirements across the country.
The Washington Post reported Feb. 26 that activists associated with those at the summit have been circulating a draft of an executive order that would ban mail-in ballots and get rid of voting machines as part of a federal takeover. Peter Ticktin, a lawyer who worked on the executive order and had a client at the summit, told ProPublica these actions were “all part of the same effort.”
The summit followed other meetings and discussions between administration officials and activists — many not previously reported — stretching back to at least last fall, according to emails and record-
ings obtained by ProPublica. The coordination between those inside and outside the government represents a breakdown of crucial guardrails, experts on U.S. elections said.
“The meeting shows that the same people who tried to overturn the 2020 election have only grown better organized and are now embedded in the machinery of government,” said Brendan Fischer, a director at the Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan pro-democracy organization. “This creates substantial risk that the administration is laying the groundwork to improperly reshape elections ahead of the midterms or even go against the will of the voters.”
Five of six federal officials who attended the summit didn’t answer questions about the event from ProPublica.
A White House official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said federal officials’ attendance at the gathering shouldn’t be construed as support for a national emergency declaration and that it was “common practice” for staffers to communicate with outside advocates who want to share policy ideas. The official pointed to comments Trump made to PBS News denying he was considering a national emergency or had read the draft executive order. “Any speculation about policies the administration may or may not undertake is just that — speculation,” the official said.
In the past, Trump has expressed an openness to a federal takeover as a way to stem projected Republican losses in November. Last month, he said in an interview with conservative podcaster Dan Bongino that Republicans need “to take over” elections and “to nationalize the voting.” Mitchell did not respond to questions from ProPublica about the summit. A spokesperson for Flynn responded
to detailed questions from ProPublica by disparaging experts who expressed concerns, texting, “LOL ‘EXPERTS.’”
The 30-person roundtable discussion on Feb. 19, at an office building in downtown Washington, D.C., was sponsored by the Gold Institute for International Strategy, a conservative think tank. Afterward, activists and government officials dined together, photos reviewed by ProPublica showed.
Flynn, the institute’s chair, told a social media personality why he’d arranged the event.
“I wanted to bring this group together physically, because most of us have met online” while “fighting battles” in swing states from Arizona to Georgia, Flynn said to Tommy Robinson on the gathering’s sidelines. Robinson posted videos of these interactions online. “The overall theme of this event was to make sure that all of us aren’t operating in our own little bubbles.”
Flynn has repeatedly advocated for Trump to declare a national emergency and posted on social media after the event addressing Trump, “We The People want fair elections and we know there is only one office in the land that can make that happen given the current political environment in the United States.”
In addition to Olsen and Honey, four other federal officials from agencies that will shape the upcoming elections attended the event. At least four of the six attended the dinner.
One is Clay Parikh, a special government employee at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence who’s helping Olsen with the 2020 inquiry. A spokesperson at ODNI said Parikh had attended the summit “in his personal capacity.”
Another, Mac Warner, handled election litigation at the Justice Department. A department spokesper-
son said that Warner had resigned the day after the event and had not received the required approval from agency ethics officials to participate.
The department “remains committed to upholding the integrity of our electoral system and will continue to prioritize efforts to ensure all elections remain free, fair, and transparent,” the spokesperson said in an email.
A third administration official who attended the summit, Marci McCarthy, directs communications for the nation’s cyber defense agency, which oversees the security of elections infrastructure like voting machines.
Kari Lake, whom Trump appointed as senior adviser to the U.S. Agency for Global Media, was a featured speaker. Lake worked with Olsen and Parikh in her unsuccessful bid to overturn her loss in the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election.
Lake said in an email that she “showed up to the event, spoke for about 20 minutes about the overall importance of election integrity, a nonpartisan issue that matters to all citizens — both in the United States and abroad. I left without listening to any other speeches.”
“Elections should be free from fraud or any other malfeasance that subverts the will of the people,” she added.
At the meeting, activists presented on ways to transform American elections that would help conservatives, according to social media posts and interviews they gave on conservative media, such as LindellTV, a streaming platform created by the pillow mogul Mike Lindell. They said the group broke down into two camps: those who wanted to pursue a more incremental legal and legislative strategy and those who wanted Trump to declare a national emergency.
Multiple activists left the meeting convinced Trump
should do the latter, a step they believe would allow the president to get around the Constitution’s directive that elections should be run by states.
Former Overstock.com
CEO Patrick Byrne, a prominent funder of efforts to overturn the 2020 election, told LindellTV that Trump has “played nice” so far in not seizing control of American elections. “But at some point,” Byrne said, “he’s got to do something, the muscular thing: declare a national emergency.”
Byrne responded to questions from ProPublica by sending a screenshot of a poll that he said suggested “2/3 of Americans correctly do not trust” voting machines, which the proposed national emergency declaration aims to do away with.
Will Huff, who has advocated for doing away with voting machines, told a conservative vlogger that Olsen, the White House lawyer, and other administration representatives would take the “consensus” from the gathering back to Trump. “It’s got to be a national emergency,” said Huff, the campaign manager for a Republican candidate for Arkansas secretary of state.
In response to questions from ProPublica, Huff said in an email that Olsen and Trump would use their judgment to decide whether to declare a national emergency.
“The President has been briefed on findings of shortcomings in election infrastructure,” Huff wrote. “I believe there are steady hands around the President wanting to ensure that any action taken is, first, constitutional and legal, but also backed by evidence.”
McCarthy, the cybersecurity official, expressed more general solidarity with fellow attendees in a post on social media about the summit. “Grateful for friendships forged through years of
standing shoulder-to-shoulder, united by purpose and conviction,” she wrote. “The mission continues… and so does the fellowship.”
Last month’s gathering was the latest in a string of private interactions between conservative election activists and administration officials, according to emails, documents and recordings obtained by ProPublica. Many have involved Mitchell’s Election Integrity Network. Before taking her government post, Honey was a leader in the Election Integrity Network, ProPublica has reported, as was McCarthy.
Previously unreported emails obtained by ProPublica show that just weeks after Honey started at the Department of Homeland Security, she briefed election activists, a Republican secretary of state and another federal official on a conference call arranged by her former boss, Mitchell.
“We are excited to welcome her on our call this morning to hear about her work for election integrity inside DHS,” Mitchell wrote in an email introducing presenters on the call.
Honey didn’t respond to questions from ProPublica about the call. Experts said Honey’s briefing gave her former employer access that likely would have violated ethics rules in place under previous administrations, including the first Trump administration — though not this one.
The prior “ethics guardrails would have prevented some of the revolving door issues we’re seeing between the election denial movement and the government officials,” said Fischer, the Campaign Legal Center director. Those prior rules “were supposed to prevent former employers and clients from receiving privileged access.”

Newsom expanded free preschool. Now private daycares can’t afford to stay open
By Jeanne Kuang for CalMatters via Stacker
There were once so manychildrenat Frisha Moore’s Elk Grove preschool that families filled up the waitlist. Now, one of her playgrounds and two classrooms sit empty because one key group of kids has stopped coming.
Dozens of families in recent years have opted not to enroll their 4-year-olds at Moore Learning Preschool & Childcare Center, she said. Instead, they’re putting their children in transitional kindergarten, California’s new public prekindergarten grade.
Even though she provides a full day of preschool, compared with transitional kindergarten that lasts only about 3.5 hours, Moore can’t compete: Public school is free. She hasn’t broken even in months and thinks about closing the preschool “every single day.” That would remove 91 licensed child care spots from the county, including 20 for children under age 2, for whom child care options are particularly scarce.
Transitional kindergarten’s expansion is one of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s signature educational achievements and a key part of his legacy on how California cares for its youngest residents.
Early childhood advocates were delighted when he was sworn into office seven years ago, his arms around his scene-stealing 2-year-old son. The first governor in decades to hold the office while raising young children, he had promised to achieve universal preschool — publicly funded preschool for all families who want to enroll — and expand access to child care for working parents.
As he prepares to leave office, he is sure to tout those accomplishments. During his State of the State address to lawmakers in January, he boasted of “the most significant expansion of child care in America.”
“It should be better known,” he told MS Now last month. “It’s not.”
Many advocates say his legacy on child care includes some unfulfilled promises,
though the expansions have been substantial. Newsom has nearly tripled funding for subsidized child care and early childhood programs, including state-subsidized preschools and transitional kindergarten, from more than $5 billion in 2020 to more than $14 billion this year.
His administration has funded 130,000 new subsidized child care spaces for low-income families and allowed private, in-home child care providers that receive the subsidies to unionize, which has led to health care and retirement funds for a low-wage, overwhelmingly female workforce.
No move has been more significant than the expansion of a free, public prekindergarten grade for all families regardless of income. The grade was available for a limited number of children for about a decade before Newsom’s administration began expanding it to all 4-year-olds four years ago. This school year, it was open for the first time to all children who turned 4 by September.
Despite rocky rollouts in some school districts, parents who have enrolled their children in transitional kindergarten say it’s saved them a year of child care costs — from $9,000 to $24,000 for that age — while better preparing kids for school and even allowing some students to be screened for special education services a year earlier. CalMatters spoke with a dozen parents around the state who said the program was a positive experience for their 4-year-olds.
Melissa Chen and her husband, of San Jose, were paying $1,800 a month to send their son to day care, where she said he struggled to get along with others and hated naptime. Now her 4-year-old is making friends and thriving with an attentive teacher in the Berryessa Union School District, she said. They still pay for an after-school care program on campus, but it’s only about a third of the cost of private preschool.
“If anyone doubted that the state was going to be able
to stand up an entire [traditional kindergarten] program in five years, you would never know it from how smoothly it’s gone for us this year,” Chen, an attorney, said.
But the rollout has also come with unintended consequences and destabilized the child care sector, which could make care harder to find for younger children.

In Los Angeles County, a December UC Berkeley report found 167 preschools closed between 2020 and 2024 — a decline in child care spots that researchers attributed partly to the addition of the public school grade.
Private providers like Moore’s preschool operate with strict regulations and thin margins. The enrollment of 4-year-olds, who need less hands-on care, typically helps cover the higher labor costs of caring for infants, so shifting solely to serving younger children doesn’t always pencil out financially.
Whether Newsom can achieve his ambitious child care goals depends in part on whether people like Moore can afford to stay open.
“He’s done a hell of a lot” to allow more kids to get cheaper early childhood care, said Bruce Fuller, the Berkeley sociologist who authored the LA County report. “He’s also expanded a lot of pieces to the puzzle, without solving the puzzle.”
A patchwork of options
The U.S. has long lagged far behind other developed nations in public funding for child care and early childhood education.
But the benefits of preschool are well documented, both developmentally for children and economically for working parents. As middle-income families consider leaving California over crushing costs, making it easier to raise kids in a state with a declining child population is savvy politics, too.
Newsom prioritized child
care early in his first term, appointing a cabinet member to work on the issue and commissioning a master plan, which recommended universal preschool for 4-year-olds and for income-eligible 3-year-olds.
“It was the first time we really had a governor coming into office that prioritized our issues,” said Donna Sneeringer, president of the Child Care Resource Center in Los Angeles County, a nonprofit that helps families find child care. The center also runs its own preschools, some of them state-subsidized, and maintains a waitlist for lowincome families waiting for subsidized care.
Unless they pay for preschool out-of-pocket, a cost that can easily surpass rent or a mortgage payment, working parents looking for child care face a patchwork of options. Low-income families can qualify for subsidized slots at state-contracted child care centers or receive vouchers for private preschool or child care providers. The state also funds preschool centers for kids from low- to middleincome families; federal funds pay for separate Head Start programs that are also income-restricted.
To achieve universal preschool, Newsom boosted some of those programs and more:
- He committed billions of dollars to permanently expandingtransitional kindergarten.
- By enrolling more 4-year-olds in public schools, the administration hoped to free up spots for 3-yearolds in other preschools. It spent hundreds of millions
of dollars to expand access to state-funded preschools and increased payments for 3-year-olds in that program to create an incentive for centers to enroll them.
- To give parents more child care options, the state has also added about 130,000 subsidized child-care spaces, both in contracted centers and in the form of vouchers, for low-income families with children of any age. That is still short of the 200,000 Newsom promised. Most vouchers go toward paying licensed family child care providers who care for children in their homes and often offer more flexible hours.
Other states have taken a different approach.
In Colorado, all children, regardless of family income, are eligible for at least 15 hours a week of free preschool the year before kindergarten; they can use it in a public school or at a preschool, day care center, or other provider.
Vermont and Georgia similarly allow families to choose between local schools and private centers.

By contrast, California expanded only transitional kindergarten as the free option for all, while the other public options remain limited, both by family income and the number of slots available. In Los Angeles County alone, more than 20,000 families are
eligible for subsidized care but haven’t gotten a spot yet, Sneeringer said. And those subsidies usually don’t fully cover costs, making it hard to stay afloat, providers say.
Placing the biggest expansion in public schools was a boon to school districts and the state’s powerful teachers’ unions: It boosted public school enrollment in a time of declining birth rates, leading to increased funding. And with record state budget surpluses during the COVID-19 pandemic, California was able to do it without touching other school funding. The ongoing cost of transitional kindergarten is about $3 billion a year; the state has also put $1 billion toward implementing the new program, including building improvements to accommodate younger kids.
Jessica Holmes, education program budget manager at the Department of Finance, said that approach was the only way to guarantee there would be spots for 4-year-olds statewide, even in areas where private child care providers are scarce.
“One structure that is consistent across the state is the school system,” she said. “Even in the most rural areas, we have schools.”
Holmes spoke on behalf of Newsom’s administration; a spokesperson for the governor declined to make him available for an interview.

Advocates rally at State Capitol to protect Californians' legal rights
Members of the Legal Aid community rallied on the Capitol steps in Sacramento last week to promote due process, economic justice, fair housing and access to health care.
Advocates from the Western Center on Law and Poverty and the Legal Aid Association of California also met with lawmakers to push for a new budget that reflects those values. Cori Racela, executive director of the center, said huge federal cuts to Medi-Cal and food assistance are worsening poverty and making people more vulnerable.
"As we face some very dark and troubling times,"
she said, "Legal Aid provides support and solidarity to help people understand and assert their rights and navigate crises."
Among their demands, she said, is asking policymakers to protect the Equal Access Fund, which helps Legal Aid organizations stay afloat. They’d also like to see more funding for programs to combat homelessness and support low-income families.
Racela said California’s leaders need to think big and find ways to promote economic stability.
"In California, we're the fourth-largest economy in the world, and we have one of the highest poverty rates

in the country," she said. "We have over 7 million people living in poverty, over 15 million people who are on our Medi-Cal program. "
Carl Pinkston, operations director for the Black Parallel School Board in Sacramento, which works to close opportunity gaps for Black students, said Legal Aid's services are crucial for families forced to fight unlawful evictions, benefit denials or discrimination.
"Particularly in this moment where the Department of Education is being dismantled, where the resource-rich law firms are coming after our community," he said, "we need Legal Aid – more so now than ever
A 2024 report on the “justice gap” from the State Bar Association found Cali-

of local school communities earlier.
“Public schools are a beacon in the community, you build lasting friendships,” she said. “To start that and have that process from the beginning makes the most sense.”
But critics say the expansion doesn’t give parents enough options.
Middle- and upperincome families who were paying full fees had the most incentive to switch from private preschools to free transitional kindergarten, if it worked for their schedules. Middle- and lower-income families who get off the waitlist for a subsidized spot have more options, while tens of thousands of families remain on waitlists.
The public grade “is an incredible opportunity for many kids to have access to a preschool education,” Sneeringer said. “It doesn’t work for every family.”

Many working families need alternative hours that only private child care provid-
ers can offer. School districts are required to give any enrolling 4-year-old a spot in transitional kindergarten, but not necessarily at the child’s nearest elementary school if there isn’t enough space, so some parents have been offered seats at schools that are too far. Four-year-olds vary widely in how ready they are for a school setting; some aren’t potty-trained or still need naps.
And though the state has also paid to expand free or low-cost after-school care, school districts vary in how they provide it. Some parents couldn’t enroll their students in transitional kindergarten because they couldn’t get a limited after-care spot.
Nearly 180,000 children statewide were enrolled in transitional kindergarten last school year. The Berkeley report on LA County found affluent families may be benefiting the most. From 2021 to 2024, enrollment growth in the county’s wealthiest areas was triple that in the poorest.
Private preschools forced to close Holmes disputed the study’s conclusion that transitional kindergarten was contributing to private
preschool closures, noting that it could have been driven by declining birth rates, too. And she said parents in income-restricted programs can choose between transitional kindergarten and certain subsidized providers.
One parent who has benefited from having options is Brittany Jackson, whose 3-year-old son attends preschool at Moore’s center in Elk Grove.
Jackson, a single mom who works an administrative job, was reluctant to enroll him in transitional kindergarten later this year. She worried it’s too early for her son to leave a playbased preschool for more formal schooling, and didn’t want to worry about finding after-school care. Because she receives a state-funded voucher that covers most of her son’s preschool fees, she can afford to keep her son with Moore for one more year.
“The way they speak and handle situations when things come up, it’s very much in alignment with how I parent,” she said.
On a recent Friday morning, Jackson’s son, sporting a Spider-Man sweatshirt, picked flowers with
a friend in one of Moore’s playgrounds. Their classmates whirled around them on tricycles, tinsel streaking their hair. After playtime, they gathered inside around teacher Kara Hannigan, who read from a picture book and prompted the children to act out each page with dramatic flair.
Moore started the center in 2017, when her own children were young. Her whole family chipped in to outfit the playgrounds and paint brightly colored illustrations on the walls.
Most of the families there are low-income and pay with vouchers, but state reimbursement rates don’t cover all the costs of running the place. She’s reluctant to raise fees on families who can barely afford it, and has instead cut staff, combining 3- and 4-year-olds into one class so she could still fulfill state-mandated adult-tochildren ratios. The center is about 40% full. With small business loans unpaid, she can’t even afford to close.
Besides, she said, “this is like my second child.”
Patricia Lozano, director of Early Edge California, an advocate for transitional kindergarten, acknowledged
the state must do more to ensure abundant options for all parents and keep private centers like Moore’s open to serve younger children.
One idea is to require school districts to partner with private centers to offer child care outside of transitional kindergarten hours, which some school districts already do. She and other advocates are also pushing Newsom to honor his commitment to fund more vouchers.
Any such proposal would come too late for Shilpa Panech, who owned a preschool for 13 years in San Ramon, caring for children between the ages of 6 months and 6 years.
Panechsupported Newsom’s promises of universal preschool. She thought it would look the way it does in other states, where families could choose a free program at school or at her center.
Instead, Panech watched the enrollment of 4-year-olds at her once-full preschool dwindle from 24 to one. She considered expanding infant care but found the staffing costs and licensing requirements prohibitively expensive. Her family was draining its savings and accumulating debt to make payroll.
Last month, she helped the 30 remaining enrolled families find other day cares, and closed the doors on Panache Enfants. It eliminated 72 licensed child care spots from Contra Costa County.
“Nobody gets into this industry necessarily to make money,” she said, tearing up. “We’re in it because we love the kids and their families.” By then, Panech had also started a second career teaching elementary school, and had the unique view of watching things unfold simultaneously in local public schools. The transitional kindergarten classes and after-care programs she saw, she said, were “fantastic.”
“I think this was wonderful,” she said. “I think this is something our country needs, our state needs. It’s important for families to be able to afford child care and to be able to go out and work. For private providers, I wish it would have been more gradual. I wish there would have been more opportunities.”

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: MANUEL A. JASO CASE NO. 25STPB05874
/s/ Alice D. Atkins, MMC, City Clerk
Publish Thursday March 5 and March 12, 2026 MONROVIA WEKLY
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the WILL or estate, or both of MANUEL A. JASO.
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by ERIC J. URIAS in the Superior Court of California, County
of LOS ANGELES. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that ERIC J. URIAS be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act with limited authority. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless
Los Angeles and near the Federal Building on Wilshire Boulevard in the Westwood area, which is home to a large Iranian-American community and has been the site of multiple weekend demonstrations recently in support of Iranians protest against their government.
The U.S. military, with support from Israel, carried out large-scale strikes on targets within Iran early Saturday, hitting the capital city of Tehran the hardest but also striking several other cities and reportedly killing Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei. Khamenei death was reported by Israel and multiple U.S. and international news outlets. He had been Iran's supreme leader since 1989, making him the longest-serving head of state in the Middle East. He was previously president of Iran from 1981-89.
Iranian officials said one strike killed dozens of people at a girls school.
Iran launched a counteroffensive, attacking Israel and U.S. military bases located in allied Arab nations across the region, including in the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq and Jordan.
Many of the missiles launched at Israel were intercepted by that country's air defense system.
"The United States military is undertaking a massive and ongoing operation to prevent this very wicked, radical dictatorship from threatening America and our core national security interests," President Donald Trump said in a message to the nation on Saturday. "We are going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground."
The president accused Iran of attempting to rebuild its nuclear program after the U.S. carried out a massive attack on it last summer that Trump said at the time had left the program "completely and totally obliterated."
"The Iranian regime seeks to kill. The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost and we may have casualties. That often happens in war, but we're
doing this not for now. We're doing this for the future, and it is a noble mission," Trump said Saturday.
In his speech, Trump recited several episodes from decades ago, including the 1979 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in which 52 U.S. hostages were held for more than a year, the 1983 bombing of a U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut that killed 241 U.S. troops, which Trump blamed on Iran's "proxies," the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole that killed 17 sailors, which Trump said Iran "knew (about) and were probably involved with," and the deadly Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, which Trump also characterized as a proxy attack directed by Iran.
"For 47 years the Iranian regime has chanted `Death to America' and waged an unending campaign of bloodshed and murder, targeting the United States, our troops and the innocent people in many, many countries," he said.
"It's been mass terror, and we're not going to put up with it anymore."
Trump also called on the Iranian people to rise up and confront their government after the bombing stopped. Thousands of Iranians were killed in protests against the government that began on Dec. 28, 2025.
The United Nations Security Council called a meeting for Saturday to address the situation.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said House Democrats plan to force a vote soon on limiting Trump's war powers in Iran.
Some members of the Southland's Democratic congressional delegation were quick to protest the attack.
"The self-proclaimed `Peace President' just dragged the United States back into war in the Middle East. Despite rising inflation, ongoing nationwide job losses, and mounting questions about his health, Trump is launching a war against Iran without authorization from Congress and approval from the American people," said Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, D-Los Angeles. "This reckless decision risks further desta-
Iran
bilizing a region still reeling from the aftermath of a brutal two-year war and jeopardizes the lives of 40,000 Americans and countless civilians across the region.
"Let me be clear: the Iranian regime is among the world's worst human rights abusers. I unequivocally support the people of Iran in their fight for freedom and democracy. But Trump acting alone, without a clear motivation or sustained dayafter plan, risks causing even greater harm to both them and to us.
If the administration came to Congress with a comprehensive strategy to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to support the Iranian people, many lawmakers on both sides of the aisle would be ready to listen," she continued. "Instead, the president has offered no evidence of an imminent threat, no accounting of the potential costs, and has once again gone rogue -- leaving Congress and the American people in the dark."
Kamlager-Dove is a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
"Today is a sad and dangerous day for the men and women of our military and their families, as the president starts another potential war in the Middle East with Iran," said Rep. Nanette Barragan, D-San Pedro. "Given the severity of the president's actions, which I believe ignores and tramples on the Constitution, the Speaker should immediately call on
and oppressive state that has suppressed its people and supported terrorism around the world. However, our military forces do not belong to the president to use on a whim, or because he doesn't agree with the pace of negotiations. This is not about defending the nation. This is the president being reckless. Donald Trump's actions have put military forces at risk and made us less safe."
Congress to return to Washington to debate and vote on the matter."
Rep. Dave Min, D-Irvine, said: "While I oppose this brutal and heinous Islamic Republic regime, the `how' and `why' matter when it comes to deploying American troops. Donald Trump has illegally launched us into war without Congressional approval in what appears like an attempt to distract us from his many failures and scandals. ... Trump must immediately present his case for putting our service members in harm's way to Congress and the American people."
Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Whittier, said: "Just eight months after attacking nuclear sites in Iran and declaring its nuclear program 'completely and totally obliterated,' President Trump has dangerously escalated the situation. "He has again violated the Constitution by launching additional airstrikes targeting major cities in Iran without congressional approval, further risking another forever war in the Middle East without a clear strategy or credible evidence of an imminent threat. Congress must reject this course. I urge Republicans to join Democrats in defending the Constitution and protecting our troops from this reckless president."
Rep. Gil Cisneros, D-Covina, said the president "cannot circumvent the Constitution and wage war without the approval of Congress. Iran is a bad actor
Rep. Derek Tran, D-Garden Grove, who serves on the House Armed Services Committee, said Trump's decision to launch "unilateral strikes against Iran without prior notification or authorization from Congress is a dangerous overreach of executive power. By bypassing Congress, this Administration has not only ignored the law but has also sidelined the American people in a decision that puts the lives of our service members at immediate risk.
"Iran is a terrorist nationstate and is a threat to democracies worldwide. It is governed by a brutal regime that oppresses its people and is an enemy to the United States. However, the fact remains that America is not willing to entangle ourselves in another forever war," Tran added. "I am calling for immediate, transparent briefings and will work with my colleagues to assert our Article I oversight."
Inland Empire reps RiversideCounty's congressional delegation Saturday also weighed in on the Trump administration's overnight attack on Iran.
"PresidentTrump's decision to launch Operation Epic Fury will protect America and our allies by eliminating the Iranian regime's ability to wage terror and threaten its enemies. It will also provide the Iranian people with a historic opportunity to shape their own future free from oppression," Rep. Ken Calvert, R-Palm Desert, said in a statement Saturday.
However, Rep. Mark Takano, D-Riverside, joined other Democrats in complaining that President Donald Trump took military action without obtaining authorization from Congress.
"President Trump has launched a major military operation in the Middle East without a clear objective and without making the case to Congress or the American people," Takano said. "This reckless action puts American troops at risk and edges us toward a wider regional war. Congress must immediately reconvene and pass an Iran War Powers Resolution to stop this before it spirals further."
Rep. Raul Ruiz, D-Indio, also took to X on Saturday opposing the attack.
"Once again, Donald Trump has lied to the American people, broken the law, and risked American lives for a personal vendetta. He repeatedly promised no new wars and criticized past presidents for starting wars without Congressional approval, but here he is, doing exactly that. We had an international agreement that prevented Iran from having nuclear weapons, but Trump tore it up. He's the only reason Iran is able to pursue nuclear weapons. Congress must act immediately to stop Trump from risking American lives," Ruiz said.
Darrell Issa, R-Fallbrook, who also represents part of the Coachella Valley, expressed his support on X, stating: "May God bless and protect our brave service members as they carry out their duties and their mission."
Issa followed up by reposting an X post originally by Calvert that stated, "The Iranian regime was responsible for: 241 U.S. service member deaths in the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing. At least 603 U.S. service member deaths in Iraq. They have been a threat to our national security interests for decades."
House members from San Bernardino County — Reps. Norma Torres, D-Ontario, and Pete Agular, D-San Bernardino — said they would support a War Powers Resolution restricting military action without congressional approval.
Rep. Jay Obernolte, R-Hesperia, has not made public statements about the Iran strikes.

San Pedro-based Pacific Battleship Center receives $500K for education program
LA County accepts $3.8M grant to support ADU projects in Eaton Fire zone
A$500,000 grant will support the development of an engineering career track program within Battleship Iowa's National Museum of the Surface Navy experience, officials announced Tuesday.
The Pacific Battleship Center -- the San Pedrobased nonprofit that owns and operates Battleship Iowa, the National Museum of the Surface Navy and Los Angeles Fleet Week -- announced Tuesday the initiative is intended to inspire young people to explore careers in engineering, and help develop the next generation of America's maritime workforce.
Tour guests and students will learn about core engineering functions aboard Battleship Iowa, understand concepts and systems that powered the Navy in the past, and how those principles continue to be used Tuesday, officials said.
By City News Service
The $500,000 gift came from the Timken Foundation -- which is connected but a separate entity from the Timken Company, a longtime supplier for the U.S. Navy.
"The Timken Foundation has consistently demonstrated support for education in the communities it serves.
The engineering career track project developed at the Pacific Battleship Center is consistent with that commitment and also allows the foundation to honor those
who served aboard the USS Iowa during the ship's commission," Robert Timken, president of the foundation, said in a statement.
It is expected to cost about $1.4 million for the career track program.
Pacific Battleship Center is actively seeking additional partners to complete the initiative and deliver the full experience for students and visitors. The project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026.

As many as 50 households in unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County -- particularly those in the Eaton Fire burn area -- will receive funding to help build small homes on their properties under a $3.8 million state grant approved by the county Board of Supervisors Tuesday.
The board voted unanimously to accept the grant funds from the state Regional Early Action Planning 2.0 Grant Program, or REAP, to support the development of so-called accessory dwelling units, also known as "granny flats."
According to the county Department of Regional
Planning and Supervisor Kathryn Barger, the funds will be allocated to between 35 and 50 households in unincorporated areas, "with particular emphasis on properties within the Eaton Fire perimeter."
"Eaton Fire survivors deserve support that helps them rebuild their lives," Barger said in a statement after the board vote.
"This program will provide direct financial assistance so homeowners can add safe, affordable housing on their property. ADUs can help house displaced family members, provide rental income to offset rebuilding costs and offer long-term
stability. I fully support this meaningful investment that will help keep families in their community."
Households receiving funds through the program will work with the San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity for development of the housing units. The small homes developed through the program must be used for at least 10 years as housing for families earning no more than 120% of the area media income, according to the county.
Details about applying for the funds and eligibility are expected to be released in the coming months, according to Barger's office.

LA County orders steps aimed at curbing deaths in county jails
By City News Service
The county Board of Supervisors directed the sheriff's department and other agencies Tuesday to take a series of steps aimed at reducing the number of in-custody deaths at county jail facilities.
According to a motion introduced by Supervisor Janice Hahn, 10 people have died in county jails in 2026 as of Feb. 24.
"If we don't address this now, we will see another record year of deaths in the county jails -- a record we do not want to repeat," the motion states. "People dying in the county jails isn't just a loss to the families, friends, and loved ones, but there is a fiscal loss in not fixing this problem. In the last five years, the county has spent millions on settlements and judgments linked to people dying in custody. These are tax dollars that could go to prevention and intervention programs, housing, social services, and other vital county services that support over 10 million people, especially during
this fiscal crisis due to local settlement obligations, state funding reductions, and federal funding cuts."
According to the motion, the board last year -- responding to a "surge in in-custody deaths" -- requested a report on the causes of the rising numbers. While that action led to a series of reports and recommendations, "it is apparent that immediate action must be taken and accountability measures be included to significantly reduce the number of in- custody deaths in the county jails.
"These deaths might have case-by-case factors, however, there are larger systemic issues that need to be resolved so that we see decreases, not increases of deaths."
The motion directs the sheriff's department, in conjunction with the Departments of Health Services' Correctional Health Services, Public Health's Substance Abuse, Prevention and Control, Office of Inspector General, Auditor- Controller and Medical Examiner
to take a number of steps, including:
-- report on how existing security equipment such as scanners can be used to scan sworn and civilian staff for narcotics and other prohibited items;
-- report on vulnerabilities at each facility that could allow narcotics or other substances from being smuggled inside, and ways to correct those shortcomings, such as through installation of more cameras and scanners;
-- ensure jail staff are making adequate safety checks of inmates, including assessing for "signs of life" before moving on to the next cell;
-- report back on safety check policies and accountability processes;
-- consistently monitor cameras and increase supervisor walks of facilities to increase the number for formal and informal safety and security checks;
-- report back on the use of closed circuit TV and body-worn cameras, and the feasibility of doing more consistent camera
monitoring;
-- check camera equipment frequently to ensure it is in working order;
-- increase transparency by adding the name of the jail facility where an individual was housed prior to their death on the sheriff's In-Custody Death dashboard; and
-- ensure the anti-overdose medication Naloxone is accessible to individuals,
Homeless services funding
regardless of their housing location.
The motion also calls on Correctional Health Services officials to conduct a review of the Medicated Assisted Treatment program in jail facilities, report back on the Automated External Defibrillator investor control and inspection process, prepare monthly reports on "compassionate release efforts," report back on recent changes to the deathreview process, and report back on possible costs of retaining a consultant to evaluate recent deaths, identify trends and provide recommendations for reducing in-custody deaths. The motion was approved without discussion on a 4-0 vote, with Supervisor Kathryn Barger abstaining.
end," Horvath said in a statement last week. "Taxpayers deserve transparency. Providers deserve to be paid on time. People experiencing homelessness deserve a system that works."
The delays in payment came to light during a recent heated meeting of the LAHSA Financial Committee last week.
LAHSA is expected to disburse nearly $700 million to contractors. Halfway through the fiscal year, the agency still owes 116 service providers for their services. In total, the agency owes at least $69 million in outstanding invoices to contractors, according to the county.
O'Neill said the agency takes its responsibility seriously, and is moving "aggressively to get these resources into providers' hands as quickly as possible."
The agency has acknowledged a backlog in issuing payments caused by a combination of contracting delays, outdated internal policies and the loss of mid-level leaders with institutional knowledge due to funding shifts.
In December, the agency implemented a restructuring plan for contracts to prevent a similar avalanche of invoices experienced this year. O'Neill said officials
In the letter, LA County Acting CEO Joseph Nicchitta said the review is intended to identify policies and operational processes that LAHSA should implement to ensure payments are made in a timely fashion.
expect to hire consultants to help with payment issues. including modernizing how LAHSA issues and recoups advances, submits cash requests to funders, and checks disbursement and selection procedures.
"We are confident that the Auditor-Controller Office's review of our aging payables will show the same pain points in our invoice payment processes that LAHSA is already identifying," O'Neill said in her statement. "We look forward to its insight and assistance as we move forward with planned changes to this process."
Janine Lim, LAHSA's deputy chief financial officer, explained during the recent finance committee meeting that for city-funded contracts the agency has yet to receive
some of the money to pay service providers. Meanwhile, the agency failed to pay county-funded contracts, in part due to bad timing.
Lim said financial department staff are overworked, overwhelmed and have low morale.
Amy Perkins, a LAHSA commissioner and member of the finance committee, also criticized LAHSA during the meeting.
"This is exactly why we have said for a long time the structure of LAHSA doesn't work," Perkins said. "How are you supposed to administer funding for people who won't pay you?"

DATED: February 5, 2026 Roberto Longoria JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT Pub
42. United, through Bouvet and its managers, had a duty to properly hire, investigate, train, and supervise its commercial drivers in compliance with FMCSR.
43. United and Bouvet negligently hired, trained, and supervised Hahn, and breached their duties by failing to ensure Hahn's compliance with driver qualification standards, safety training, and hoursofservice monitoring. Bouvet, while in the scope and course of his employment for United, did not know what the FMCSR were, did not know who reviewed driver applications for compliance, and had no background in driving or safety. Despite his managerial role, Bouvet failed to implement or enforce lawful and required safety practices, further breaching the duty of care. Defendants' breaches of the duty of care were a substantial factor in causing Plaintiff's injuries
44. Holman, as the vehicle owner, had a duty to ensure that its big rigs were only operated by persons who were fit to drive in a safe manner. Holman knew or should have known that Hahn had prior collisions, repeated unsafe driving events, and disciplinary actions for reckless conduct, yet permitted its tractor to be entrusted for operation to Hahn on public highways. This negligent entrustment was a breach of the duty of care and a substantial factor in causing Plaintiff's injuries.
45. United, Holman, and Bouvet were also aware, or should have been aware, of Hahn's repeated attendance failures, including documented records showing he was late to work 4058% of the time in 2023 and on time only 27% of the time during one month. These chronic attendance issues caused late deliveries, unsafe dispatching, and undermined operational safety, yet management took no corrective action. By ignoring this pattern, Defendants failed in their duty under 49 CFR §390.11 to require driver compliance with safety rules. Their failure to act in the face of repeated safety red flags amounted to negligent supervision and retention.
RELIEF
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays for judgment against Defendant(s) as follows:
1. For general damages;
2.For special damages according to proof; 3. For punitive damages;
3. For interest as allowed by law;
4. For costs of suit incurred herein; and
5. For such other and further relief as the court may deem proper.

Norton Simon Museum exhibits Galka Scheyer collection
May S. Ruiz MayRChu56@gmail.com
An intimate exhibition at the Norton Simon Museum,called “Dear Little Friend: Impressions of Galka Scheyer,” focuses on the art dealer and promoter’s close relationship with the artists she represented. On view from Feb. 20 through July 20, it features works of art gifted to her by Alexei Jawlensky, Maynard Dixon, Peter Krasnow and Beatrice Wood, among others; the show is curated by Gloria Williams Sander.
Culled from Scheyer’s archive, the exhibition offers a close look at the pivotal role the German-born collector played in bringing European modernism to the United States and promoting the so-called "Blue Four" — Lyonel Feininger, Alexei Jawlensky, Paul Klee and Vassily Kandinsky.
The title “Dear Little Friend” comes from the affectionate salutation Feininger adopted in his letters to Scheyer, born Emilie Esther, and captures the personal connection and collaborative spirit that defined her activities in Europe and California. Alongside the artworks are correspondence and ephemera that testify to her dedication to art and to her artists, as well as the excitement she generated in pursuing her mission.
“It was Jawlensky who introduced her to Paul Klee, Vasily Kandinsky and Lyonel Feininger, all of whom were on the faculty of the Bauhaus in Germany — a forward-looking university of art design and architecture,” explains Sander during a walkthrough of the exhibition. “They all became friends. This was in the 1920s when times were tough in Germany politically and economically. Artists were having trouble showing and
selling their work so Galka decided to go to the United States to promote them.”
“They banded together and took on the name ‘The Blue Four,’” Sander says further. “They all had different artistic styles, but they wanted to give her a sort of rubric to help her establish exhibitions.
‘Blue’ has a long-standing importance for modernism in Europe and the U.S. It’s considered to be a spiritual color.”
However, when Scheyer arrived in the United States she realized getting a foothold in the modern art world was a challenge. It was through a combination of fate and opportunities that she came to California and held her fist show called “The Blue Four” at Stanford University in October of 1925. It was such a phenomenal success that the San Francisco Examiner declared her “The Prophetess of the Blue Four.”
Scheyer promoted herself and the Blue Four using brochures printed with the Blue Four logo of four blue stripes and contained endorsements and her skills as a lecturer and art marketer.
“Galka was one of the most amazing art impresarios in the United States in the early 20th century,” Sander pronounces. “She was a single woman in a profession as an art dealer inhabited by men, which was an unusual task she set for herself. The Galka Scheyer archive is a testament of her activism in the United States on behalf of four European artists whom she represented from the 1920s to the 1940s in trying to seed a taste for European Modernism and Abstraction. It was new art that was not conventional in California at that time, when it was very conservative and the prevail-
ing art style was still in the Impressionism and postImpressionism. Artists came here to paint the beautiful landscape.”
The film industry was taking off in Los Angeles in the 1920s when Scheyer met Josef von Sternberg, a renowned Hollywood director. He asked her to show him some of the pieces she was selling and he bought $600 worth of artwork. That confirmed that LA was the place for her and made plans to move. The sale, which was massive at that time, enabled her to purchase a parcel of land and she asked the modernist architect Richard Neutra to build her home in the Hollywood Hills. Scheyer mounted more than 60 exhibitions from 1925 to 1944, including one-man shows (i.e. Feininger, or Klee). They include traveling exhibits around California and the U.S. held at museums, galleries and university art galleries. Additionally, she hosted salons at her home that had art displays and lent artwork to the salons and parties of other clients. The artworks she loaned to Marlene Dietrich in March 1929, a list of which is included in the exhibition case, is an example of such informal installation.
The last part of the exhibition shows Scheyer’s house. “I wanted to bring people’s attention to her house because it’s inseparable from her work — and her spirit in many ways,” explains Sander. “Galka worked with Neutra to build a house that’s open to nature but with plenty of wall space. She had moveable screens on which to hang works of art for special shows and every room in her home displayed the art of the Blue Four. She had salons where people discussed art. She was
the first resident at the top of the hill and was able to get permission from the city to name the street Blue Heights Drive. And the number she took for the house was 1818 because 8 is divisible by 4.”
“Galka lived there until her death in 1945,” Sander states. “It was sold in 2024 to a German art collector and business man and it will be the home of the newly established Blue Heights Art & Culture whose mission focuses on fostering contemporary artistic creation and hosting
curated exhibitions within this historically significant, modernist space.”
Sander hopes viewers of the exhibition take away that “Galka Scheyer served as a powerful catalyst for the West Coast art scene, bridging the gap between bold new trends and a growing audience. Her work was driven by kinship, not just commerce. The portraits, artworks and letters on display are more than artifacts; they are tokens of gratitude from a community that responded to her vision
with enduring friendship.” Over eight decades after Scheyer’s death, she will continue to be a source of inspiration for artists who will take part in the Blue Heights Art & Culture’s residencies. Through exhibitions like “Dear Little Friend: Impressions of Galka Scheyer” and “Maven of Modernism: Galka Scheyer in California” before it, the Norton Simon Museum will ensure that her legacy as an ardent lover of the arts lives on.
