LA, SD, SF rank in report's top 5 US cities for public transportation

By Anusha Shankar, City News Service

Onefactorpeople consider when looking for a new home is how easy it is to get around. Driving and walking are the most common modes of transportation, but prospective buyers and renters are also increasingly considering public transportation.

Knowing how you'll get around your new hometown is vital before hiring movers to take you there. To help, the ConsumerAffairs Research Team investigated and ranked the nation's 50 largest cities to see which have the best public transit systems. The analysis is based on 2022 data from the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Transit Database, and it takes into account how useful, safe, affordable and efficient transit services are in the nation's top cities. No. 1. New York, New York

Annual public transit trips per metro area resident: 144.2

Share of stations ADAcompliant: 51.4%

Safety score (combining fatalities and serious injuries): 13.07 out of 20

Average fare revenue per trip: $1.75

The nation's most populous metro area is served by a large number of transit agencies, with trains and buses covering the five boroughs of New York City itself, as well as areas well into New Jersey, Connecticut and downstate New York. While the average fare revenue is higher than most, it's still cheaper per trip than in Pittsburgh, Pennsylva-

nia, and Buffalo, New York.

2. San Francisco

Annual public transit trips per metro area resident: 53.6

Share of stations ADAcompliant: 97%

Safety score: 13.91 out of 20

Average fare revenue per one-way trip: $1.63

With the third-worst commuter traffic in the nation, San Francisco residents might be desperate for other ways to get around.

Fortunately, Bay Area Rapid Transit connects the city with its suburbs, and the Muni bus and train system — including the city's famous cable cars — gets people around the city itself. There are also free shuttles to get people to and from public parks.

3. Los Angeles

Annual public transit trips per metro area resident: 29

Share of stations ADAcompliant: 100%

Safety score: 16.48 out of 20

Average fare revenue per one-way trip: 49 cents

Los Angeles, well known as a sprawling car-oriented metropolis, has a transit system that doesn't get as much use per capita as other cities' services. However, it's one of the safest and most affordable transit systems nationwide.

4. Richmond, Virginia

Annual public transit trips

per metro area resident: 8.5

Share of stations ADA-

compliant: 100%

Safety score: 18.27 out of 20

Average fare revenue per one-way trip: 24 cents

With free local bus fares across the city, including high-speed buses with some dedicated lanes that provide service every 10 minutes on weekdays and every 15 minutes on weekends, Richmond's public transit system is safer and more efficient than many other large cities' services. Unfortunately, it is used less frequently than any other system mentioned in our top 10 list.

5. San Diego

Annual public transit trips per metro area resident: 21

3 HB council members cry

foul on Pacific Airshow deal

Aminority bloc of Huntington Beach City Council members called for Attorney General Rob Bonta to investigate the city's settlement of a lawsuit with the annual Pacific Airshow stemming from a one-day cancellation due to the 2021 oil spill.

City officials issued a statement July 10 regarding the settlement agreement with the Pacific Airshow on Wednesday, claiming it generates "tens of millions of dollars" annually. That triggered a statement from City Council members Dan Kalmick, Rhonda Bolton and Natalie Moser, criticizing the deal and "inviting" Bonta's office to investigate.

In September, U.S. District Judge David Carter signed off on a $95 million settlement of all claims in class-action litigation involving the pipeline oil leak that gushed thousands of gallons of crude into the ocean off Huntington Beach in 2021.

Carter ruled that the air show was a member of the class and would have a claim of about $1.9 million, but the attorney for the show at the time indicated it might opt out of the class to pursue a potentially more lucrative lawsuit against Amplify Energy.

The city had not released terms of a May 2023 settlement with the air show, but decided to publish it Wednesday.

"The city's settlement with Pacific Airshow LLC ensures the potential for future airshow events, which bring in over a hundred million dollars in economic benefit to the region and tens of millions of dollars directly to the city of Huntington Beach each year," Mayor Gracey Van Der Mark said in a prepared statement.

City Attorney Michael Gates held back the terms of the agreement "due to the city's imminent lawsuit with Amplify Energy and other oil spill defendants who have taken responsibility for causing the oil spill in Huntington Beach in 2021," according to the city's statement.

City Councilman Dan Kalmick called the deal a "massive gift of public funds and I don't think it's legal."

Kalmick told City News Service the deal is a contractual agreement ensuring the air show stays in Huntington Beach for 40 years.

"We give all the parking away," he said. "We waive all fees, including security fees."

Kalmick said, "I believe criminal malfeasance has happened" with the deal, adding, "I'm not an attorney, but if it's not illegal it should be."

Kalmick said "no investigation was done to see what our (legal) exposure was" with the lawsuit. He said the city gave away $7 million for "unproven losses," and noted that it was the "unified command" that canceled the last day of the air show in 2021, not the city.

Kalmick said the agreement is a 10-year-exclusive contract with three 10-year extensions that only the air show can terminate.

If the air show sells the contract to another buyer, the city can only object with a super majority of a City Council vote.

SGV residents invited to participate in local artist’s portrait series documenting political discourse

Photography Artist

Alejandra Cordero has launched a portrait series, “What’s Your Sign?,” visually documenting political discourse within the San Gabriel Valley community. The series aims to capture the diverse perspectives, emotions, and stories of individuals engaged in political dialogue, providing a safe space and a platform for voices often unheard.

Cordero is inviting her community to be part of this project and encourages interested participants to get creative and design a sign expressing a political stand. Participants will then have a portrait taken with their sign. The portrait photo series is taking place at the 1111 ArtCenter building off South Arroyo Parkway right outside the Peter and Merle Mullin Gallery every Saturday through July 27 from 11 a.m.

Share of stations ADAcompliant: 100%

Safety score: 14.74 out of 20

Average fare revenue per one-way trip: $1.10

A new safety initiative, expanded service and upcoming investments in new vehicles, including electric buses, are drawing riders to San Diego's trolleys and buses, which serve the downtown area and the surrounding communities.

Methodology

The ConsumerAffairs Research Team conducted a comprehensive analysis of the public transit systems in the 50 most populous metropolitan areas across the United States and scored each on a point scale from zero to 100.

To determine which cities had the best public transportation, we looked at the following metrics:

to 5 p.m. Cordero emphasizes that the portrait series is free and open to anyone who wishes to participate and that it will be a safe space where all signs are welcome.

“I wanted to create a project that not only documents the current political climate but also fosters understanding and empathy among people with different viewpoints and invites the community to cope with it artistically as I do,” shared Cordero, a student ArtCenter College of Design.

“What’s Your Sign?” will be a collection of portraits and accompanying narratives through signage that look into the personal and collective experiences of community members as they navigate the complexities of political engagement. Through her lens, Cordero will be capturing the essence of each subject’s sign high-

dents based on three factors:

First, we calculated how many independent passenger trips the population took in 2022 in relation to the metro area's population. This information was based on the National Transit Database annual metrics for 2022. (25 possible points)

Second, we calculated how far passengers traveled in 2022 per resident in the metro area. (20 possible points)

Third, we looked at how easy the main public transit system was to access for people with physical disabilities. We used the 2022 National Transit Database information on transit stations to calculate the percentage of all ADA-compliant systems. (10 possible points)

Safety: Based on the National Transit Database's Safety & Security Major Event Time Series data for 2022, we calculated the number of major events, including colli-

sions and derailments, per vehicle revenue mile in 2022. (10 possible points)

We also calculated the rate of fatalities and injuries in major events per 2022 vehicle revenue mile. (5 possible points each)

Affordability: We looked at the fare revenue per unlinked passenger trip based on the National Transit Database annual metrics for 2022. We compared that with the median household income in 2022 for that metro area according to the U.S.

Census Bureau's American Community Survey. (15 possible points)

Efficiency: We determined the average operating cost per passenger mile based on the National Transit Database annual metrics for 2022.

US Olympic swimmer Abbey Weitzeil says interest in women's sports is spiking

By Tim Haddock, City News Service

As she prepares for her third summer Olympics,U.S. swimmer Abbey Weitzeil from Santa Clarita said she is reveling in the growth of interest she has witnessed in women's sports over the years.

Weitzeil went to her first Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and made her second U.S. swim team in 2021 for the Tokyo Olympics. She also competed in the U.S. Olympic Swim Trials in 2012.

Over that time, she said she has seen meets move into pro football stadiums and attract record-breaking crowds. The U.S. Olympic Swim Trials in June were at Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the NFL's Indianapolis Colts.

"Over the years I've been in this sport, women's sports has slowly been growing," Weitzeil said in an exclusive interview with City News Service. "Recently there's been a big spike in interest in media around women's sports. In the swimming world, we're loving the fresh faces. You have Gretchen Walsh. You have the veteran Simone (Manuel). People are really interested in our sport."

Women's sports in general have exploded in popularity in recent years. Caitlin Clark, who played at the Univer-

sity of Iowa, burst onto the basketball scene and created a fan and media frenzy during this year's NCAA women's tournament. It continued when she was drafted by the Indiana Fever and began her WNBA career.

Angel Reese from Louisiana State University also joined the WNBA this year, and has added to the sudden interest in women's basketball and women's sports.

In the world of women's swimming, Katie Ledecky has emerged as arguably the sport's biggest star and most popular athlete. She has won seven Olympic gold medals and holds the record for most individual Olympic gold medals in women's swimming with six. She holds world records in the 800-meter and 1,500-meter freestyle events. She will be competing on the U.S. swim team for the fourth time at the Olympics in Paris and made her Olympics debut at the 2012 Summer Games in London.

"Swimming is growing in general and the interest in women in swimming, in any sport. I think it's amazing and I think we've seen a boost in the last year or two, especially with people bringing attention to it like Caitlin Clark," Weitzeil said. "It's becoming bigger and bigger and bigger."

In addition to Clark,

Reese and the WNBA, the U.S. women's national soccer team has grown in popularity. Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe contributed to its rise by winning World Cup championships and gold medals at the Olympics. It continued the success of teams led by Mia Hamm and Brandi

Chastain in previous years. U.S. gymnast Simone Biles has been one of the most popular athletes in America, and around the world, for years.

Weitzeil said she has seen that interest in women in other sports spill over to swimming.

Senior who vanished in South Gate possibly in Riverside, Orange counties

By City News Service

A65-year-old Alzheimer's patient who went missing from his Los Angeles County home could be in neighboring counties, authorities said July 11.

Benito de la Cruz was last seen in South Gate on July 1, and last week, the California Highway Patrol issued a Silver Alert due to the period of time that he has been gone.

A Silver Alert focuses

on finding missing seniors throughout the state.

The CHP included the Temecula and Coachella valleys in disseminating the notification. It was unclear whether de la Cruz had relatives in either area.

The CHP issued the alert on behalf of the South Gate Police Department, which said de la Cruz was last seen about 7 a.m. on July 1 in the area of Missouri and

Truba avenues.

"De la Cruz is believed to be on foot," the agency stated.

He stands 5 feet, 6 inches tall, weighs around 125 pounds, with brown eyes and gray hair. He has a missing front tooth and was last seen wearing a gray beanie, gray shirt and blue jeans, authorities said.

Due to health compli -

"You look at trials and we're now swimming in football stadiums. We have record-breaking attendance and it's so fun to be a part of. It truly is amazing. I think it's awesome that media is shifting to be more interested and bring more attention to more women's sports," Weitzeil said. "People are more intrigued. It takes just one and then it starts to skyrocket. It's definitely awesome to see."

Weitzeil set the course record in the 50-meter freestyle at Lucas Oil Stadium in 2023 in 24.00. In the Olympic Trials in Indianapolis in June, she was third in the 50-meter freestyle final, narrowly missing qualifying individually for the Olympics in the event.

She was fifth in the 100-meter freestyle, earning her a spot on the U.S. women's freestyle relay team. She has won four Olympic medals in her two previous Summer Games. She has one gold, two silvers and a bronze, all in relays.

Kate Douglass won the 100-meter freestyle final at the Olympic Trials in 52.56 seconds. Torri Huske was second in 52.93 seconds. They will compete individually in the 100-meter freestyle at the Paris Olympics.

Walsh was third in 53.13

seconds and Manuel was fourth in 53.25 seconds.

Weitzeil was fifth in 53.70 seconds. The top five swimmers in the 100- meter freestyle were separated by 1.14 seconds.

Weitzeil said she tested positive for COVID-19 after the Olympic Trials and was sick during the meet. When asked if she would like another chance to qualify in the 50-meter freestyle, she said, "I wish I could do it again immediately."

In the 50-meter freestyle final, Manuel won in 24.13 seconds. Walsh was second in 24.15 seconds. Weitzeil touched in third place in 24.26 seconds, 0.11 seconds behind Walsh.

"The 50 is my favorite race. I swam it every year since 2014. Knowing it was my last chance to do an individual swim and it being my favorite race, I kind of went out there ... the coaches came up to me afterward and said that was the best race of the meet, even though it wasn't what I wanted.

"I gave it everything I had and that is what I had that day. I look back at it, obviously I didn't get top two in that, but I got third and I was proud of myself for getting up and having the best race of the meet for me after a long nine days."

cations, de la Cruz may be disoriented.

South Gate Police Department Detective Gina Vargas said the missing man's family is growing concerned about his well-being and is asking for the public's help in locating him.

Anyone with information was asked to contact their nearest law enforcement agency.

OC Parks encouraging community-led shoreline monitoring in Dana Point

OC Parks recently installed the first community-driven shoreline monitoring location in Orange County. Located along the Strands Beach access ramp, the CoastSnap station encourages community members to help with coastal monitoring efforts. The CoastSnap station includes a smartphone cradle and instructions on how to upload and submit a photo of the shoreline. Residents and visitors alike are invited to place their phones in the cradle and snap a photo. The cradle is set at a precise location and angle to ensure the public is capturing consistent images. Afterward, the public is asked to scan a QR code to then upload the photo. From there, the images are sent to OC Parks and will be used to assist with monitoring seasonal and long-term beach width. The cradle works in conjunction with surveyed control points and time stamps allowing for photos to be stitched together, accounting for tidal variations.

The Gospel of Matthew Trewhella: How a militant anti-abortion activist is influencing Republican politics

By Phoebe Petrovic, Wisconsin Watch, ProPublica

Wisconsin Pastor Matthew Trewhella has an affable routine when he’s trying to persuade government officials to abolish abortion, ignore gun laws and question election results.

The 63-year-old opens his talks with a photo of “Trewhella nation”: his wife of over 40 years, their 11 homeschooled children and dozens of grandchildren. He cracks jokes. He quotes history and scripture. He floats secession as a regretful possibility. With half-rim glasses and collared shirts, Trewhella looks and sounds more like a professor than a provocateur.

But when addressing his congregation at an Embassy Suites in suburban Milwaukee, he sneers and shouts, deriding his enemies as wicked dogs, whores and tyrants.

“When you see sodomy running rampant, when you see women in government, when you see men behaving like effeminate little squirrels, judgment is in the land,” Trewhella said during a 2020 sermon.

Last year, he said homosexuality should be treated as a crime, noting that the Bible called for the death penalty for “the filth of sodomy.”

For much of his public life, Trewhella has made a career of denouncing the law while railing against abortion and gun restrictions. Twenty years ago, that made him a political pariah. His reputation for blockading abortion clinics, calling for churches to form militias and defending the murder of abortion providers was so extreme that two state chapters of Right to Life, the anti-abortion group, condemned him.

But today, the world has changed. He has been invited to speak by local Republican parties and other groups across the country. He gave a prayer breakfast sermon to one of the nation’s preeminent law enforcement associations. And a prolific booster

of election conspiracy theories has used his work as the basis for a campaign to disrupt elections.

Trewhella’s ability to tailor his message for different audiences has helped. He’s gracious to the women who introduce him at political events but tells his congregation that the idea of women in government is “sickening” and “perverse.”

In the cast of characters who might influence the upcoming election, he’s not rallying crowds like Steve Bannon, the former Donald Trump strategist, or Charlie Kirk, the founder of the conservative student group Turning Point USA. Trewhella is more behind the scenes, providing a religious justification for some far-right policies and causes. With the political establishment shifting, he exemplifies how in this splintered landscape, even the most fringe figures can become influencers.

Trewhella gained his newfound acceptance with a self-published 2013 book, “The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates,” which relies on a theory developed by 16th-century Calvinists seeking holy justification for fighting political oppression amid the religious wars of the Protestant Reformation. Trewhella has applied it to today’s political battles, writing that government officials have a divine “right and duty” to defy any laws, policies or court opinions that violate “the law of God.”

To him, that means outlawing abortion and same-sex marriage, or even violently resisting the government if necessary, noting in his book that there are times when men “must redden their swords.”

In recent years, Trewhella’s teachings have popped up in legislatures and local boards as the Christian right has increasingly influenced Republican politics. A Missouri state representative

applied the doctrine when he proposed banning abortion in 2020, when Roe vs. Wade was still in effect. Commissioners in western North Carolina invoked it when they declared their county a “gun sanctuary” to protest state laws.

Former President Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, has praised Trewhella’s book several times, extolling it as a “masterful blueprint showing Americans how to successfully resist tyranny.” And a member of Trump’s 2020 campaign legal team, Jenna Ellis, cited Trewhella’s work as a solution to government overreach in her 2015 book advocating for a biblical interpretation of the Constitution.

Trewhella’s acceptance into more mainstream circles has surprised extremism researchers who have tracked him for decades. It’s important to pay attention to a man “creating the ideological rationalizations for these ideas,” said Devin Burghart, president of the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights, a nonprofit that tracks the far right.

“I think that the public needs to know that he’s a dangerous theocrat who would fundamentally alter the United States in irreparable ways that would harm many, including women, people of color and the LGBTQ community,” Burghart said.

In Wisconsin, Trewhella has forged a close relationship with the Republican Party of Waukesha County, the stronghold for state GOP power. His book is the only one the group promotes on its website. Twice in the past two-and-a-half years, the party has invited him to speak at events, including one where he addressed local candidates. A young leader in Trewhella’s church gave the opening prayer at a county GOP dinner, and the party paid that member to do political canvassing just a month after he was charged in state court for calling in a bomb scare against an LGBTQ+ event. The member is awaiting a plea hearing in August and said his lawyer

advised him not to comment. During a speech to the Waukesha GOP last year, Trewhella focused on how local officials were best positioned to safeguard Americans’ most cherished freedoms.

“You may have to do things in the future you’re not authorized to do,” Trewhella told them. “The country is breaking apart. Counties are becoming important in the process. Counties may secede from one state and join an adjoining state as things break apart. Several adjoining counties may end up leaving a state and forming their own state. Remember, this happened during the Civil War.”

The Waukesha GOP chair declined to comment through executive director Kathy Pape, who wrote in response to repeated interview requests, “We are done with this.”

Approached near a suburban strip mall at one of his regular anti-abortion street protests in May, Trewhella smiled when asked by a reporter about his reputational rehabilitation. Dozens of his followers spread out at an intersection beneath a punishing sun, handing out pamphlets and displaying 5-foot signs of aborted fetuses.

“Most people will always only care about three things in life: me, myself and I,” he said. “It’s only because of their mundane, self-absorbed lives that they would think someone like me is an extremist. That’s my answer.” He chuckled and returned to his flock.

Trewhella’s Transformation

Trewhella tells his own life story in biblical terms: a fallen man finds redemption. Trewhella said he wrote it all down in a 23-page conversion testimony after his 5-year-old son asked him, “Dad, when are you going to write a book where you can tell us how you went from being a bad guy to a good guy?”

Growing up in a Catholic family, Trewhella wrote, he was forced to attend “nearly unbearable” Sunday Masses.

He described his mother as a “classic merciful mom” and his father as “short on words and quick on corporal punishment.” When Trewhella was 11, his parents divorced, which he called an “ugly thing” that “removes all innocence.”

As a bad guy, Trewhella wrote, he joined a Detroit gang and “dealt drugs, stole cars, firebombed houses, robbed businesses, burglarized homes, fought other gangs, and fenced stolen items to the Mafia.”

Then, he said, he landed in an evangelical rehab program at 17 and had an epiphany during church.

“Understand, I had told the shrink at the psyche ward just three days earlier that I would burn down more houses when I got out of jail,” Trewhella wrote. “But sitting there — I saw my sin for how truly reprehensible it was. I was in the presence of a holy God.”

As a good guy, Trewhella got married, graduated from a Pentecostal college and, in 1989, founded Mercy Seat Christian Church in the Milwaukee area.

He also became one of the nation’s most militant anti-abortion activists. He joined the so-called rescue movement, in which activists blockaded clinics. In 1990, he founded his own organization, Missionaries to the Preborn, whose members chained themselves to cars parked in front of clinic entrances.

Trewhella racked up arrests and jail time for misdemeanor convictions, though other charges were dropped. By 2007, the group took credit for permanently closing down six of eight Milwaukee clinics.

Trewhella has professed nonviolence. But after an activist killed an abortion provider in 1993, he signed a document describing the murder of these doctors as “justifiable.” Around the same time, Planned Parenthood recorded Trewhella urging churches to form militias and telling parents to teach their children to assemble weapons

blindfolded: “This Christmas, I want you to do the most loving thing. I want you to buy your children an SKS rifle and 500 rounds of ammunition.”

A man who reportedly used Trewhella’s group’s address on his driver’s license shot and killed a physician who performed abortions in 1998. The group fundraised for the families of people imprisoned for anti-abortion violence, according to a 2001 book. And Trewhella wrote that in 2003 that he visited a man awaiting execution for murdering an abortion provider, saying that “when abortion is outlawed,” future generations would view the man “as the sanest and bravest man of our age.” It all made Trewhella persona non grata. Republican politicians disregarded him. Wisconsin Right to Life said Trewhella’s group had scant support from “the mainline right-to-life people.” Vermont Right to Life called his group’s statements “disturbing.” And by the time Trewhella’s group announced a tour through Montana in 2001, the state’s Right to Life organization warned its supporters to steer clear.

“They’re really out there,” Steven Ertelt, head of the Montana group, said at the time. “They know we won’t give them the time of day.”

After Wisconsin Watch and ProPublica’s initial interview with Trewhella, the pastor did not return more than a dozen calls, emails and text messages seeking a follow-up interview. The news organizations tried to speak with Trewhella at another protest and at his church service, but he was not there. He did not respond to emailed questions and refused receipt of a certified letter containing them.

Through his anti-abortion militancy, Trewhella came across an idea that would give him a religious foundation for his crusade: the doctrine of the lesser magistrates. For years, the theory had circulated among Christian Reconstructionists, who

believe that all of society — including government, education and culture — should follow their strict reading of Old Testament law. Its adherents included some of the most violent members of the rescue movement.

Trewhella recalled in an interview first encountering the lesser magistrates doctrine during a talk by a minister in 1990. It drew from the Bible to claim that those vested with political power could actively resist tyranny on behalf of the people — including, in extreme cases, with lethal violence.

“Immediately that made sense to me because I was very involved on behalf of the preborn,” he said. Then, at a 2007 prayer meeting, the spirit moved Trewhella to do more. “I just felt from the Lord,” he said, “that I should write a book on the doctrine of the lesser magistrates, make a website for it, teach it to the government officials and the people of America.”

The obsession led him to a 1550 German Lutheran text called the Magdeburg Confession, which he claims is the doctrine’s first formalization. Trewhella commissioned an English translation, releasing it in 2012.

The next year, he selfpublished his book, in which he beseeched readers to deploy the doctrine against “abhorrent” issues such as same-sex marriage and abortion. The back cover called it “a hopeful blueprint for freedom.”

Trewhella’s Embrace

After his book came out in 2013, Trewhella hustled. He used his blog and talks to spread the doctrine across the religious right. He seized on controversy and the attention it brought.

Often, he veiled the more extreme elements of his philosophy in American patriotism, asserting that the doctrine influenced framers like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In interviews with half a dozen academics, including conservative, Christian professors of government and religion, all but one disputed Trewhella’s claim. Two leading scholars on the revolutionary period

and constitutional law said they had never even heard of the doctrine. All of them considered its application in modern-day America inappropriate and dangerous. But to those of a certain political or religious persuasion, Trewhella has proved convincing.

The book helped Trewhella attract the ear of high-level officials.

In 2015, in a remarkable turnabout, Republican lawmakers welcomed Trewhella to the Montana Capitol for a sermon in which he discussed the doctrine.

“The federal government has already attacked and abridged liberty; they are now in the process of plundering the American people,” he said. “The phalanx of laws created by the state to invade our domestic affairs, disarm the people, seize our property and harass our persons all point to the growing tyranny in America.”

Trewhella’s message resonated in the rotunda and in the nation’s politics, coming in the period between the Tea Party’s rise and Trump’s election.

That speech, Trewhella later said, helped put his book “on the map.”

In 2017, Kentucky’s thenGov. Matt Bevin met with Trewhella and Operation Save America, an abortion abolition group now run by Trewhella’s son-in-law.

“We were able to pray for him and challenge him with the Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate and the abolition of abortion,” a group blog post said. “He told Pastor Matt Trewhella and the rest of us that he read the book and has passed it to others.” Bevin did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

In 2019, Missouri state Rep. Mike Moon, now a state senator, helped run a conference on the doctrine of the lesser magistrates, where Trewhella spoke. A few months later, Moon introduced a bill to completely outlaw abortion in the state, leading Trewhella to claim credit on social media. Moon and his office did not return repeated requests for comment.

Anti-abortion

Trewhella’s ideas also gained favor among gun rights activists, as a wave of counties declared themselves “Second Amendment sanctuaries,” some of which state that local law enforcement will not act on any gun laws they deem unconstitutional. The hard-line Gun Owners of America has consistently cited Trewhella and his book in its support of such resolutions. At least 10 resolutions across the country specifically refer to lesser magistrates. One of the earliest, issued in 2019, was authored by a county commissioner who has described reading Trewhella’s book as a “turning point” in his leadership.

“It gave me the foundation I needed as a county commissioner to be the big brother to protect my constituents,” Dr. Dan Eichenbaum, a Republican in Cherokee County, North Carolina, said on his podcast. In an interview, Eichenbaum said his Second Amendment resolution inspired several other jurisdictions to take action. He said he was not aware of the details of Trewhella’s anti-abortion activism, including that Trewhella had defended the murder of abortion providers. “I can’t make excuses for that,” he said.

Like many leaders on the right, Trewhella suddenly found a much larger audience when the COVID-19 pandemic took hold. As some people questioned public health measures like masks and vaccines, they began looking for ways to resist government officials they saw as trampling their rights.

They found answers in Trewhella, who pumped out short-form videos and spoke on conservative podcasts and other platforms.

“In light of the tyrannical acts by the state regarding COVID-19, we are rebooting our efforts,” he posted on social media in April 2020.

The doctrine appeared in local meetings in Indiana and Tennessee as officials challenged public health measures. Andy Ogles, thenmayor of Maury County, Tennessee, south of Nashville, invoked the doctrine when he took steps to allow unvac-

cinated health care workers to keep their jobs. Ogles is now a Republican member of Congress. His office did not respond to requests for comment.

Frustrated by pandemic measures like restaurant closures and masking in schools, Republican activists in Ottawa County, Michigan, west of Grand Rapids, invited Trewhella to speak several times. In 2022, one group that invited him, Ottawa Impact, helped flip the county board of commissioners to Christian control.

Since then, the board has tried to fire its health administrator and declared Ottawa a “constitutional county.”

The largely symbolic resolution states the board will not enforce any measure that it believes infringes on constitutional rights.

Trewhella called Ottawa “a blueprint for counties across America.”

Two Ottawa Impact founders denied that Trewhella influenced their work. But that sort of denial is common: When asked about their relationship with Trewhella or his ideas, people often distance themselves or are reluctant to give him credit.

Last spring, conservative activist David Clements made the 44th stop on his “Greater Magistrates Tour” in northwestern Wisconsin. The tour, which took its name from Trewhella's book (revising it to promote the voters as “greater” magistrates), blended Christianity and conspiracy theory to encourage disrupting future elections.

As about 200 people listened on, Clements ran through the familiar debunked claims about the “rigged” system, urging attendees to demand their local officials withhold certification of voting machines and results. Using Trewhella’s playbook, Clements said, they might save their country county by county.

Referring to certain voting machine vendors, Clements told the crowd, Jesus Christ had been resurrected to “restore you to a place where there are no

tears, there is no suffering, there are no Dominion or ES&S machines.”

Throughout his tour, Clements had the company of some of the nation’s most prominent election denialists, including Bannon and Mike Lindell, the founder of MyPillow. Joe Oltmann, an activist who concocted the baseless claim that a Dominion Voting Systems employee had rigged the election, appeared several times. Oltmann has hosted Trewhella on his podcast and told his Telegram channel that Trewhella’s book is “required reading for all freedom minded Americans.”

Clements said he would only do an interview if Wisconsin Watch and ProPublica allowed him to record a video and broadcast it in its entirety. Oltmann had similar terms. The news organizations did not agree, and neither Clements nor Oltmann answered written questions.

Trewhella’s name has previously come up in attempts to challenge the 2020 election. Pennsylvania state Sen. Cris Dush, a Republican who led a legislative investigation into election results, called upon the doctrine of the lesser magistrates when he “urged people to take action against the certification of presidential electors,” the Pennsylvania attorney general said in a court filing.

In an interview, Dush said the doctrine resonated with his military training, which permitted him to disobey an unlawful order.

Extremism researchers and pro-democracy groups say Trewhella’s influence on attempts to disrupt elections is particularly concerning because he claims some of his most vocal supporters have been sheriffs.

Sheriffs wield significant law enforcement power in much of America. Some have claimed they have the power to seize voting machines should they believe there’s fraud. A faction known as “constitutional sheriffs” claim that within their jurisdictions, they have the sole authority to interpret the

constitutionality of state and federal laws. Leaders of the movement have promoted election conspiracies and urged sheriffs to investigate possible fraud. They have also celebrated Trewhella, namedropping him at conferences and giving his book to attendees.

Trewhella also spoke last year at a prayer breakfast at a conference held by the National Sheriffs’ Association, which represents thousands of law enforcement officers across the country. Trewhella said he spoke at their invitation.

The organization did not respond to repeated requests for comment. But former Daviess County, Kentucky, Sheriff Keith Cain, a past board member who coordinated the prayer breakfast, said by email that Trewhella had asked to give the sermon after registering a booth. Cain said he requested Trewhella stick to spiritual matters.

Trewhella did not abide. He told a group of about 40 — each with a complimentary copy of his book placed in front of them — that sheriffs are “ministers of God first” and must defy laws, policies or court opinions deemed “unjust or immoral” under the law of God.

“America is languishing under the blithe compliance of the lesser magistrates,” he told them. “The filth of Sodom is paraded down the streets.”

Now, with a presidential contest looming, what worries Frederick Clarkson, an extremism researcher who has tracked Trewhella for decades, is not the pastor’s influence on who wins, but the impact he’ll continue to have on state and local politics.

“There’s a tectonic shift that’s gone on in American public life and politics,” he said. “All of those county commissioners and mayors and whatnot who are entertaining this stuff, they’re putting people’s lives and the entirety of civil order at risk by playing footsie with Matt Trewhella.”

Feds fine bank $20M for illegal car insurance practices

By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News Service

Fifth Third Bank just agreed to pay a $20 million fine to settle charges it forced car buyers to purchase unnecessary insurance and created fake accounts in customers' names.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said the bank required customers with car loans to buy insurance, even if they already had coverage or got their own within 30 days.

Rosemary Shahan, president of Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety, said some customers then could not afford the payments.

"There were about 1,000 consumers who had their

cars repossessed," Shahan recounted. "Most people rely on their car to get to and from work, and get their kids to school, and get to medical appointments. So that is really devastating when they lose their car."

In a statement, Fifth Third Bank said it shut down the protection insurance program in 2019 and is taking action to set things right. The money from the fine will go to a fund to reimburse 35,000 customers who were harmed. The court order also bans the company from setting employee sales goals incentivizing fraudulently opening accounts. Shahan pointed out car

dealers sometimes make verbal promises differing from the written contract or fail to even print out the financing paperwork. She wants people to know they cannot be required to buy insurance if they already have coverage.

"The best way to avoid all these scams is join a credit union, get your own financing, and deal with a reputable bank," Shahan recommended. "Don't let the dealer get financing for you."

In 2015, Fifth Third Bank was ordered to pay more than $21 million in fines for discriminatory auto loan pricing and for illegal credit card practices.

Space X Falcon 9 rocket explodes during mission

By City News Service

ASpace X Falcon 9 rocketcarrying

Starlink satellites exploded after takeoff from Vandenburg Space Force Base and Friday efforts were made to deploy the satellites into proper places in orbit around Earth.

The Falcon 9 rockets made by Space X, based in Hawthorne, carry satellites and NASA astronauts into space. The launch last Thursday night, which originated from the US

Space Force Base in California, failed in the second stage around 10:30 p.m.

It was carrying 20 satellites for Space X's Starlink network, which already operates through more than 6,000 satellites that are in orbit.

The first stage of the mission completed successfully, but the Falcon 9 rocket, which is designed to fire in the second stage, failed. The cause was not immediately known,

according to reports from Space X.

"During tonight's Falcon 9 launch of Starlink, the second stage engine did not complete its second burn. As a result, the Starlink satellites were deployed into a lower than intended orbit," according to a statement from Space X.

Elon Musk, the CEO of Space X, posted on social media that the second stage did not just fail --

it experienced what his company tends to call an "RUD" or "rapid unscheduled disassembly," which typically refers to an explosion.

"Reasons unknown," Musk's post reads.

In a later update, posted after 10:30 p.m., Space X said it had made contact with five of the 20 satellites and was attempting to raise their orbit.

"We're updating satellite software to run the ion

thrusters at their equivalent of warp 9," Musk said. "Unlike a Star Trek episode, this will probably not work, but it's worth a shot."

California transport projects get millions from Bipartisan Infrastructure Law

By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News Service

Federal dollars are pouring into Californiatransportation projects as a result of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The Federal Transit Administration recently announced almost $8 million for 17 projects to improve public transportation for people with disabilities, older adults and low-income families.

Tiffani Scott, CEO of Paratransit, said her organization received a $134,000 grant to improve mobility van service in Sacramento.

"So, we use a very robust scheduling software, so that we can maximize the number of trips we can do and be extremely efficient. And so, the cost per trip

that's being subsidized is a fraction of what it would be if they were on a public transit service," she explained.

The infrastructure law also funds the federal program known as "RAISE," which stands for "Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity." This year's RAISE

grants include $25 million each for a rail project in Santa Ana and road improvements in Rancho Cordova; plus $5 million each to improve rail lines in Escondido and near the Port of San Diego.

Scott added she applauds the Biden administration's focus on transportation as a way to improve low-income communities.

"If we're trying to solve issues - like job insecurity, education, workforce, homelessness, food insecurity - access is one of the largest determinants to how people can get to things. If you can't get there, a lot of times it's as if they're invisible." she continued.

In April, the feds announced more than $23

million for projects under the Thriving Communities Program. They support efforts to make neighborhoods more livable near the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, fund greenspace in Santa Rosa, and help Tulare County bid for grants to widen a key freeway in the Central Valley town of Pixley.

PETA disrupts 'Twisters' premiere, slams film's depiction of rodeos

By City News Service

Animal rights demonstrators confronted the makers of the new film "Twisters” at its premiere in Westwood last week, objecting to the film's depiction of rodeos.

One PETA protester was escorted from the premiere after running down the theater aisle toward the stage as director Lee Isaac Chung and actors Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones were introducing the film. The woman shouted "There's no excuse for animal abuse" as she was escorted from the theater by security.

Meanwhile, a group of protesters, some wearing cow masks, staged a protest outside the building, blasting the film for "forcing animals to stage distressing scenes that glorify rodeos." "Twisters" is a sequel to the 1996 film "Twister," and stars Powell as a former rodeo star and storm chaser.

PETA is calling on Universal Pictures to include a disclaimer in the movie's credits about the "real-life cruelty inherent in the events -- in which cows (including calves), horses, and other animals are tormented, maimed, and often killed -- and to discourage audiences from attending them."

Attempts to reach Universal Pictures for comment were not immediately successful.

Echo Theater Company presents darkly funny, off–beat ‘Dido of Idaho’

TheEchoTheater Companynewest production is a very dark comedy about the lengths to which a woman might go for the love of a man. Abigail Deser directs the West Coast premiere of “Dido of Idaho” by Abby Rosebrock, running July 20 through Aug. 26 at Atwater Village Theatre.

Alana Dietze (Echo productions of “Everything Will Be Different,” for which she was Ovation nominated) brings us Nora, a lovelorn baroque musicologist with a drinking problem who is head-over-heels for an English professor, Michael, played by Joby Earle. Unfortunately, this particular good man has already been claimed by Crystal, a former Miss Idaho with a penchant for home manicures. When the extramarital hijinks go brutally awry, Nora flees to the Rocky Mountains to seek comfort from her estranged mother, Julie and Julie’s new partner, Ethel. In her desperate bid to find compassion, Nora risks losing the only family she’s ever had — maybe forever.

“This play is wonderfully raw, original, authentic and funny,” says Deser. “Nora faces her own potential annihilation because she only knows how to exist in the reflection of the male gaze. Self-love is the only beacon that might help her find her way back to safe shores.”

By Staff

The title of the play is derived from the story of Dido and Aeneas. In the course of his travels, Aeneas stops in Carthage, where he has a passionate love affair with the recently widowed Queen Dido. As soon as he learns that the gods have assigned him another, more glorious fate, Aeneas abandons Dido, whereupon she kills herself in rage and despair.

“I wanted to write about a woman who feels hopeless of ever being loved, and to imagine a way out of that for her,” Rosebrock explained in an interview.

“The only way to make that kind of play bearable for me or for anyone experiencing it is to make it as funny and exciting as possible. My hope has been that crafting a lot of physical comedy, wordplay and rapid-fire

punchlines, all situated in something like realism, makes the story something people can really inhale, even as it challenges them.”

“Dido of Idaho” opens on Saturday with performances continuing on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m.; Sundays at 4 p.m.; and Mondays at 8 p.m. through Aug. 26. Preview performances are set for Thursday, July 18, and Friday, July 19, each at 8 p.m. Tickets are $34 on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. All Monday night performances, as well as previews, are pay–what–you–want. Atwater Village Theatre is located at 3269 Casitas Ave. in Los Angeles, CA 90039.

LA panel votes to evict owners of La Carreta, Olvera Street home of 'El Burro'

By Jose Herrera, City News Service

The owners of La Carreta -- home to a beloved Olvera Street attraction known as "El Burro" -- are considering their options after a Los Angeles commission voted to evict them despite a City Council attempt to save it.

The Board of El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument Authority Commissioners gave the owners of the restaurant a 30-day eviction notice July 11. Richard Hernandez, owner of La Carreta, told City News Service he was devastated and will be considering his next steps, which may include suing the city to stop the eviction.

Hernandez said he feels as if the General Manager Arturo Chavez worked against him in every step of the way.

"I don't plan to leave easily," Hernandez said. "I was talking to my attorney about an injunction and to try to stop this eviction. We're going to file the paperwork that we need."

El Pueblo General Manager Arturo Chavez declined to comment any further in a phone call with City News Service July 11, and he did not respond to further inquiries Friday afternoon.

Hernandez told CNS representatives from both

Mayor Karen Bass' office and L.A. City Councilman Kevin de León -- who represents the 14th Council District which includes Olvera Street -- were in attendance of the board's meeting but only observed and remained quiet.

Hernandez said is expecting to hear from both their offices, though he remains uncertain about what may come from it.

Bass' office did not immediately respond to requests for comment Friday afternoon.

"As of today, our office was not made aware of any extenuating circumstances preventing the commission from providing a lease agreement," Pete Brown, communications director for de León, said in a statement. "Therefore, it's disappointing to see that the El Pueblo Commission could not find a way to amicably resolve the situation with Mr. Hernandez."

"This leaves El Pueblo with one less legacy-family business to uphold the history and traditions of our city's birthplace," the statement continued.

The board discussed the Hernandez case in closed session as part of their July 11 meeting, meaning their deliberation was not open to the public.

Tickets to the 2024 Los Angeles Auto Show are now on sale and the organizers have announced that GMC/Buick, Stellantis multi-brand (Jeep, Ram, Dodge, and more), and VinFast are returning to the show this year. Even at this early stage, exhibitor commitments indicate that brand representation has increased significantly over last year as automakers recognize the value and

Hernandez told CNS that he was nervous prior to the vote.

"I wasn't prepared for this -- the last three months have been just hell. Everything went out the window during COVID-19 and didn't come back the same," Hernandez said.

He explained that many businesses are still behind on rent. Hernandez criticized management for what he called a lack of effort to promote Olvera Street and help the businesses.

"This business means the world to my family and myself. I want to stick it out," Hernandez said. "At my age, I don't want to work for Walmart or flip burgers. My son is starting university and I have to pay his tuition. I won't be able to in the long run."

Hernandez said he had the community on his side, as well as his fellow merchants, the City Council and his council representative, de León.

Hernandez claimed Chavez did not want to work out a deal with him and complicated his situation as he tried to resolve issues with the leasing contract sparked by the death of his mother in the spring.

"They don't seem to grasp that idea. They think they're safe, but a lot of

businesses have stepped down and closed down because of the same actions that management wants to take," Hernandez said.

La Carreta was founded in the late 1960s by Jesus "Don Chuy" Hernandez and his wife Maria Trancito Hernandez. Visitors to La Carreta at the time could get photos with the family's pet donkey, Cirila. The burro was later replaced by a "Jorge," a life-sized stuffed burro.

The stuffed burro became a major attraction for El Pueblo, as people lined up to take photos.

In 2019, Maria Hernandez submitted paperwork to the city requesting to have her children, Patricia and Richard Hernandez, added to the lease contract -- but due to a clerical error, it never happened.

In June, the City Council -- led by de León -- asked the Board of El Pueblo to immediately consider the leasing agreement.

At the time of the council's action, de León said the council does not have jurisdiction to order the commission to review it, but the "right thing to do would be to review the case espe-

Genesis, Toyota, and Hyundai will continue their annual presence at this year’s show. Many more brands, exhibitors, and new activations will be announced over the next few months. The 2024 show will open to the public Nov. 22 through Dec. 1.

The 2024 show will also feature many custom acti-

cially relative to the city's commitment to upholding the historic integrity of the historic location and the administrative process."

De León described El Pueblo as more than just a tourist destination. The councilman said it is the "beating heart of our city's history and culture."

El Pueblo, commonly referred to as Olvera Street, was founded in 1781. The complex is made up of 27 historic buildings, seven museums and home to about 75 merchants, who sell various traditional and cultural wares.

In addition, it is declared that the owning, keeping or harboring of a potentially dangerous or vicious dog is a public safety problem. Moreover, dogs that unreasonably annoy humans substantially interfere with the rights of community members to the enjoyment of life or property, can also be declared a public nuisance pursuant to this Chapter.

OC Rep. Levin calls on Biden to drop out, but Rep. Correa continues backing

By City News Service

Rep.MikeLevin, D-Dana Point, Friday called on President Joe Biden to step aside as the party's candidate for the White House, but Rep. Lou Correa, D-Santa Ana, emphatically continued his support for Biden's re-election.

In a statement, Levin said, "Like so many of you, I was naturally concerned about President Biden's performance in the recent debate," referring to the tipping point that has led to many other elected leaders in Washington to call for the president to suspend his re-election campaign.

"Since then, I've made my opinions known in the appropriate manner with House Democratic leadership and my colleagues," Levin continued. "And I called upon all Americans to give the president a window to make an expeditious decision about his candi-

dacy."

But despite praise for Biden as an "outstanding leader," and his "deep respect" for the president's decades of public service, the congressman said he believed it was time for Biden to "pass the torch."

Levin added, "We must prevail against the incalculable threat Donald Trump poses to the American institutions of freedom and democracy. Donald Trump actively seeks a bleak authoritarianism and the overthrow of the values which have guided us towards justice and prosperity for nearly two and a half centuries."

The Orange County Republican Party quickly responded with a statement critical of Levin.

"Let's be clear: Mike Levin simply has his finger to the wind and knows Biden's days are numbered. Levin campaigned with Biden for

two days straight just before the midterm election. He knew first-hand Washington DC's worst-kept secret -- Biden's failing cognitive state. And he said nothing."

The Republicans claimed Levin was losing ground to GOP challenger Matt Gunderson and bailed on Biden for political reasons. A spokesman for Levin did not have an immediate response to the statement.

Correa said he was on a phone call with Biden Friday set up with the congressional Hispanic political arm that Levin joined.

Correa said he was "absolutely" still backing Biden.

"I was one of the first to endorse him five years ago and I'm still there," Correa told City News Service. "He has a spectacular track record, one that any president would be proud of."

Correa said he tried to impress on the president

that a lot of business leaders tell him they have a labor shortage and some admit to hiring undocumented immigrants because they have no choice.

"Now you've got (former) President Trump promising massive deportations -what's that going to do to the American economy?" Correa said. "Immigration is about

our American economy and how to sustain it. We're going to have worker shortages around the world."

Correa said Biden "clearly got sacked in his own end zone" at the debate.

"But give him a chance to put together some drives," Correa said. "He's putting together a beautiful drive. It's Michigan-style -- four or five yards at a time."

Correa said the turmoil may end up being a blessing in disguise if anxiety about Trump encourages more Democratic turnout.

"Democrats are waking up -- we have a real dog fight on our hands," Correa said. "We have to really work hard and in a way that's the silver lining."

Metro seeks 2,000 participants for second phase of Mobility Wallet Program

By City News Service

Metro is continuing recruitment efforts forthesecond phase of a program, which will provide 2,000 participants with money to spend on transportation.

Dubbed the Mobility Wallet, qualifying participants can apply at metro.net/ mobilitywallet1, and will have until the end of August to do so. Participants are selected at random and will receive a debit card with $900 in the fall, followed by another $900 refill six months later.

Individuals who apply must be at least 18 years old, live in Los Angeles County and who did not participate in Phase 1 of the pilot. Additionally, applicants must meet the program's household annual income requirements, which is based on the agency's LIFE program:

-- One-person household with an annual income $44.1K or less;

-- Three-person household with an annual income of $56.7K or less;

-- Four-person household with an annual income of $63K or less;

-- Five-person household with an annual income of $68.1K or less; and

-- Six-person household with an annual income of $73.1K or less.

Metro will be working with UCLA and UC Davis to randomly select participants in Phase II. Like in Phase I, the agency will attempt to identify a representative sample and look at different parameters/indicators to select participants. An example of this is transitrich communities versus communities that might be in a transit desert.

Of the 2,000 Mobility Wallets distributed, about 1,000 will be given to participants in South Los Angeles

-- Two-person household with an annual income of $50.4K or less;

and the remaining 1,000 will be sent out countywide.

The agency first launched its prepaid debit card program in May 2023, which provided 1,000 South L.A. participants with $150 per month for 12 months. It allowed them to ride public transportation such as buses, trains, bike shares and Metro Micro vans as well as regional services such as Metrolink and Amtrak. Money could also be used for private buses like Greyhound, Flix Bus and shared rides such as Uber and Lyft.

Metro reported about 60,700 trips via ride hail/taxi/ access services, 70,800 trips via public transit, 2,200 trips via shared scooters and bikes, and 169 bike shop purchases.

Hector Gutierrez, Metro's senior manager of strategic innovation, said based on feedback from the first phase that there's statistical significance the program is providing transportation security.

"It really has been a lifeline to support social connections, supporting the financial security of households in not thinking about transportation cost burden, and I think importantly, it's also been a way to support access to opportunity," Gutierrez told City News Service.

People have been able to get to work, interviews, and medical appointments as a result of the program.

According to Metro, some challenges found in phase one of the program included pre-authorization holds (required by ridehailing and shared mobility service companies), clarification on eligible merchants, and accounts being locked, a security measure for the prepaid debit cards.

To address these issues moving forward, Metro made some changes in this next stage by having two $900 fund distributions.

Additionally, Metro is

developing a Mobility Wallet How-To Guide to help recipients maximize their funds. This guide will provide best practices for signing up for the LIFE program, accessing other income-eligible services, and optimizing wallet usage to meet mobility needs.

"We are also implementing several customer service enhancements, such as Apple/Google Pay functionality, text message alerts and email reminders to encourage participants to check their balances and prevent account locks. Metro is committed to putting customers first and resolving issues quickly," the agency said in a statement.

Avital Shavit, senior director of strategic innovation, told City News Service that in phase two participants will be able to access a virtual Mobility Wallet, something similar to ApplePay.

Similar systems have been in use in New York and San Francisco.

"That's something that the Mobility Wallet is preparing for and something that we will be doing additional research to understand how that kind of fits into the ecosystem long term," Shavit said.

Metro partnered with the city of Los Angeles' Department of Transportation for the program. In the first phase, Mobility Wallet received funding from $2 million from a larger $13.8 million State Trade and Expansion Grant and another $2 million from L.A. City.

In this second phase, Metro secured a $4 million grant from the Southern California Association of Governments.

The pilot program is also aimed at helping the agency test an open loop system for fare collection, meaning riders would be able to use a debit or credit card to tap on a bus or train.

LA28 confirms more venues in LA, Carson and Long Beach for 2028 Olympics

By City News Service

Following updates to venue plans for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, LA28 officials Friday announced more than a dozen facility assignments that will host sporting events in Los Angeles, Carson and Long Beach.

In addition to diving, gymnastics and track and field, seven more Olympic sports will be coming to venues along Figueroa Street between Exposition Park and downtown Los Angeles, according to LA28, the planning committee preparing for the Games.

Badminton will be played at the USC Sports Center, home of the University of Southern California's basketball and volleyball teams. The Convention Center -- used at the 1984 Games as the Main Press Center -will host five Olympic sports in 2028, including fencing, judo, table tennis, Taekwondo and wrestling.

Judo and wrestling competitions were previously assigned to Pauley Pavillion at UCLA's campus.

San

San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity (SGV Habitat) last week announced its new program to help low-income homeowners add an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) to their property to provide an affordable rental for a lowincome household. Their program offers a zero-interest construction loan with SGV Habitat serving as the contractor for the project.

This opportunity comes at a time when many Californians are finding that an affordable home is becoming harder than ever to come by, and as ADUs are increasing in popularity across the state.

downtown Los Angeles will host the weightlifting competition. On the other side of the city, golf will be played at The Riviera Country Club in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles.

The country club has also been used to host the Los Angeles' annual PGA TOUR event, and has previously hosted the US Open, PGA Championship, US Amateur, US Senior Open and NCAA Championships.

In Carson, the L.A. Galaxy's home stadium, Dignity Health Sports Park, will host cycling-track events in the Velodrome, hockey at The Fields adjacent to the stadium, Rugby Sevens in the stadium and tennis in the Tennis Center.

The Velodrome is an official U.S. Olympic Training Site and serves as the home track for USA Cycling's national track and cycling program. The Fields, currently used as training grounds for the LA Galaxy, will be made into a temporary hockey venue.

The Tennis Center is home to the U.S. Tennis Association's High-Performance

Training Center and has hosted various professional Women's Tennis championships and tournaments.

In the 1984 Games, Carson's Velodrome hosted cycling-track events, and has since been refurbished.

Long Beach will host handball events at the Long Beach Arena, canoe-spring and rowing events at Marine Stadium, sailing will be held in the water along the Belmont Shore, water polo at temporary aquatics center at the Convention Center lot, and marathon swimming and triathlon competitions will be held at the Waterfront along Alamitos Beach.

Rowing and canoe spring was previously set to be held at Lake Perris, in Riverside County, but officials relocated the event to Long Beach, which involved arrangements supported by the World Rowing Congress.

The city of Long Beach previously hosted archery, fencing, sailing and volleyball at the 1984 Games. Long Beach's Marine Stadium also hosted rowing events at the 1932 Games.

"The 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games will reflect

all that the Los Angeles area has to offer, and with these venue assignments, we're very proud to bring the Games to many of our vibrant and diverse communities," said LA28 Chief Athlete Officer Janet Evans. "The city of Los Angeles will host more Olympic sports than anywhere else, and Carson and Long Beach, which hosted competitions in previous Games, will host more competitions than ever before."

Evans described the venues as "world-class," and these sites will provide the

best conditions for athletes and fans.

According to LA28, the announcement includes venue assignments that are both unchanged from the original 2017 bid plan, along with new facilities. These assignments have been approved by the International Olympic Committee Executive Board and assessed in consultation with each respective International Federation, as well as follow Games Agreements with the cities of Carson and Long Beach.

Per guidelines, LA28 will

not use existing corporate or philanthropic names for stadiums and arenas for Games purposes.

Officials say that in the months ahead, additional venue assignments in the city of L.A. and elsewhere will be announced, including for new sports that have been added since the original bid plan. LA28 previously proposed several venue assignments that move some competitions outside of L.A.'s boundaries, which requires written consent from city leaders. The L.A. City Council is currently reviewing that proposal.

Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity building ADUs in blitz

By Staff

According to a recent report by the California Housing Partnership, the state needs to build 1.2 million affordable homes to meet the needs of lowincome renters. However, nationwide median rent in the United States increased by 22 percent in the five years between 2016 and 2021, while median household incomes increased by only 15 percent during the same period.

“The need for affordable housing in the area is overwhelming and opportunities like adding ADUs to communities allow families to stay in neighborhoods they grew up in and helps

aging adults stay close to their support systems,” says SGV Habitat CEO Bryan

Wong. “Since I started this job in 2021 it has been my goal to dramatically

increase the number of affordable dwellings in the San Gabriel Valley and this is just one way we are doing that.”

Housing advocates have long touted ADUs as a solution to shortages and rising living costs. ADUs (small rental units that can be added to existing properties and ease housing shortages) are at the forefront of the efforts to supply more affordable units. ADUs are an attractive option because these units are affordable to construct, quick to build and generate revenue to the homeowner.

Through Friday SGV Habitat will showcase

their ADU program as a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom ADU home is built in partnership with a local Baldwin Park family. Hundreds of volunteers will assist with the project including individuals from throughout the San Gabriel Valley and groups from the Western States Regional Council of Carpenters, Southern California Edison, San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and others. Those interested in volunteering can learn more and sign up at https:// sgvhabitat.org/volunteer/ blitz-build/.
