The map could provide useful data for some LA city councilmembers who have blamed high privately owned land prices on their inability to build supportive housing and shelter projects. In May 2018, over two dozen city-owned parcels were identified where councilmembers could build emergency homeless shelters. This week, the city broke ground on a bridge housing facility in Venice on a bus lot owned by Metro.

EPA Administrator Michael Regan said the rules will reduce pollution and improve public health while supporting the reliable, long-term supply of electricity that America needs. Together, the climate law and the suite of EPA rules “are the biggest reductions in carbon pollution we’ve ever made and will put the country on the pathway to zero out carbon emissions,’' Doniger said. The proposal relies on technologies to limit carbon pollution that the industry itself has said are viable and available, Regan said.

Instead, the agency would set caps on carbon dioxide pollution that plant operators would have to meet. Some natural gas plants could start blending gas with other fuel sources that do not emit carbon, although specific actions would be left to the industry. The EPA also tightened rules aimed at reducing wastewater pollution from coal-fired power plants and preventing harm from toxic pits of coal ash, a waste byproduct of burning coal. The rules initially included steps to curb emissions from existing natural gas plants, but Regan delayed that aspect of the rules until at least next year after some moderate Democrats and the gas industry warned that the plan could affect grid reliability.

"I'm actually pretty pleased that they are closed. I would have been a little happier had they closed prior to it being on the news," said Juanita Lomax, who learned why the restaurant was closed when she came for lunch on Tuesday. Following the inspection and news reports, the bar & restaurant closed voluntarily. County health officials inspected Industry Public House on Monday night after complaints from restaurant employees. PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — The Allegheny County Health Department confirms that sewage was found in the basement of a popular restaurant in Pittsburgh's Lawrenceville neighborhood.

"You can drill down into neighborhood-level data, you can start to see where the problems are and then come up with solutions," Mahajan said. LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health launched a new tool to give residents a voice when it comes to their quality of life in hopes of improving the health and well-being of all residents. For many decades, the tobacco companies misled the public about the inherent dangers of their products using multifaceted PR programs and pseudo-scientific studies which spread disinformation and confusion. Today we know that nicotine and smoking are addictive and that cigarettes cause cancer. But it took many years to expose these hard truths and in the meantime massive tobacco corporations profited from the harm they caused.
Prior to joining the board, she was a producer on KCRW’s “To the Point” and “Which Way, L.A.” Before that, she spent a decade at the L.A. And California politics and wrote a column on local government issues. She’s a graduate of New York University and Columbia Journalism School. Just ask our letter writers, who put the blame for the crisis on political and institutional incompetence, economic equality, lack of community support, an unjust and undersupplied housing market, and the failure to enforce laws that prohibit large encampments.
Goldberg: The latest sign that Republicans are abandoning even their most deeply held principles
It’s a reversal of the Republican Trump administration’s push to loosen coal plant wastewater standards. Even so, the rules issued Thursday complete “a historic grand slam” of major actions by the Biden administration to reduce carbon pollution, said David Doniger, a climate and clean energy expert at the Natural Resources Defense Council. The first and most important action was passage of the 2022 climate law, officially known as the Inflation Reduction Act, he said, followed by separate EPA rules targeting tailpipe emissions from cars and trucks and methane emissions from oil and gas drilling.
“Multiple power companies have indicated that (carbon capture and storage) is a viable technology for the power sector today, and they are currently pursuing those CCS projects,’' he told reporters Wednesday. Coal plants that plan to stay open beyond 2039 would have to cut or capture 90% of their carbon dioxide emissions by 2032, the EPA said. Plants that expect to retire by 2039 would face a less stringent standard but still would have to capture some emissions. Coal plants that are set to retire by 2032 would not be subject to the new rules. President Biden and Vice President Harris believe government agencies should deliver excellent outcomes for the American people, whether we are rebuilding America’s infrastructure or providing access to critical information, services, or benefits online. That means websites and digital services that are mobile friendly and easy to navigate with useful, timely, and trustworthy information that is widely accessible to the public.

Jim Matheson, CEO of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, called the EPA rule “unlawful, unrealistic and unachievable,” adding that it faced a certain court challenge. The rule disregards the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision that limited the agency’s ability to regulate carbon pollution under the Clean Air Act, Matheson said. The move to demolish came shortly after Pratt purchased the mid-century home in an off-market sale for $12.5 million in January 2023.
The store has taken to posting the names and faces of people Kitson says stole from them. McCarthy’s successor, Johnson, brought four bills to the House floor Saturday — three to provide vital military aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and one to force a Chinese company to sell TikTok or cease operating in the United States. The bills passed overwhelmingly, with all but the Ukraine bill winning a majority of Republicans’ votes. Biden urged Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from retaliation against Iran even though its attack appeared to defy the president’s own warning after Oct. 7. It also captures a renewed, possibly short-lived triumph of courage and wisdom within the Republican Party.
I want to tell you that I continually see the success of public education! I have students over my time that are now doctors, lawyers, moms, dads, plumbers, electricians, police officers, firefighters, military and many other professions. This group of experts will explore how laws and policies are being developed to prevent further harms from the opioid crisis, and the critical role of document disclosure as a means to improve public health. If you are compensated to interact with the Los Angeles Department of Public Works, City law may require you to register as a lobbyist and report your activity. Any individual may qualify as a lobbyist, regardless of occupation, education, training, or professional title.
However, "we will remain intolerant to any violent or destructive behavior." The night's remarks also were expected to cast a spotlight on the many journalists detained and otherwise persecuted around the globe for doing their jobs, including Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who has been imprisoned in Russia since March 2023. In previous years, Biden, like most of his predecessors, has used the glitzy annual White House Correspondents' Association gala to needle media coverage of his administration and jab at political rivals, notably Republican rival Donald Trump. "I'm used to riding and doing what I need to do," said Yvette Hardin of Covina. "I keep my head on a swivel. Sometimes when it gets later and later at night, it makes it dangerous."
It’s also possible, as news columnist Anita Chabria notes, that the case could turn out to be a big nothing. Not only are there legal reasons why the decision might have little bearing on California’s homelessness policies, she writes; the court could also decide the case is now moot because of an Oregon law overruling Grants Pass’ onerous ordinance. The Los Angeles Police Department arrested approximately 50 protestors at the University of Southern California after campus police gave a dispersal order to demonstrators, according to a CNN crew at the scene. The University of Texas at Austin Police Department said in a statement on X Wednesday evening that "the dispersal order at the South Mall has ended. All University rules are still in effect."
