California’s EV school bus plan could boost local jobs
California’s ambitious $500 million initiative to deploy 1,000 electric school buses is not just a win for the environment—it’s also an economic driver. This investment is leading to the creation of jobs along with fostering local industry growth, and positioning California as a leader in clean transportation. Last Week, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office announced the state will allocate 1,000 zero-emission school buses, along with associated charging infrastructure, to over 130 school districts serving rural, low-income, and disadvantaged communities. In addition, the initiative will fund the installation of approximately 500 new charging stations, supplementing the more than 200 stations currently operational

Forecast accuracy may falter as budget cuts slash staff at NWS offices
The National Weather Service is facing a wave of staffing reductions that experts say could seriously compromise the accuracy of weather forecasts, delay life-saving alerts, and undermine long-term climate research. As the current situation stands, balloon launches are suspended, emergency forecast products are scaled back, and meteorologists report significant vacancies at local offices. Recent layoffs and a hiring freeze have led to substantial vacancies across NWS offices. Nearly half of the 122 forecast offices report vacancy rates exceeding 20%, with some offices experiencing rates above 35%, particularly in regions prone to severe weather, such as the Midwest and Plains states.

L.A. homeowners sue insurance companies over wildfire coverage
Homeowners in Los Angeles are suing major insurance companies, claiming the companies worked together to cancel fire insurance after a series of destructive wildfires. The lawsuits say 25 insurance companies, including State Farm, stopped offering coverage in high-risk areas, which forced many people to buy expensive insurance from the state-run FAIR Plan instead. The lawsuits were filed in April 2025, a few months after wildfires in January burned nearly 18,000 buildings and killed at least 30 people in L.A. Homeowners who lost everything are accusing the insurance companies of breaking the law by acting together to stop selling or renewing

L.A. sees decline in parking enforcement, fines
Los Angeles is experiencing a decline in parking enforcement, raising concerns over its potential impact on public safety, fiscal stability, and civic order. With fewer citations being issued and revenue losses adding up, city management may face a silent crisis that risks eroding infrastructure and public trust. Parking citation numbers have dropped significantly since 2019, according to recent reports. The L.A. Department of Transportation issued about 2.1 million citations in fiscal year 2023 — down nearly 40% from the pre-pandemic average of over 3.5 million. This fall directly correlates to reduced street oversight and accountability. This enforcement decline has translated

Los Angeles claims 'Right to Counsel' for low-income tenants
In a historic move to address housing instability, the Los Angeles City Council unanimously passed the long-anticipated “Right to Counsel” ordinance. The policy guarantees free legal representation to low-income tenants facing eviction, marking a major shift in how the city tackles its housing and homelessness crisis. The ordinance ensures legal counsel for renters earning below 80% of the area median income—approximately $77,700 for individuals and $110,950 for a family of four. While celebrated as a milestone by housing advocates, implementation will be phased, with full access expected to take years as the city ramps up funding and staffing. Only around
