SoCal officials react to Biden quitting presidential campaign

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

Elected officials from SouthernCalifornia issuedstatements Sunday on the decision by President Joe Biden to end his reelection campaign.

Biden and a number of local leaders said they supportVicePresident Kamala Harris to step into the top spot on the presidential ticket.

"It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term," Biden said in a statement Sunday, adding that he would address the nation this week and provide more details on his decision to leave the presidential race.

"For now, let me express my deepest gratitude to all those who have worked so hard to see me reelected," Biden said. "I want to thank Vice President Kamala Harris for being an extraordinary partner in all this work. And let me express my heartfelt appreciation to the American people for the faith and trust you have placed in me.

"I believe today what I always have: that there is nothing America can't do — when we do it together. We just have to remember we are the United States of America."

About a half-hour after his announcement, Biden posted a statement endors-

ing Harris for president.

"My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it's been the best decision I've made," Biden said.

"Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it's time to come together and beat Trump. Let's do this."

Harris,aBrentwood resident and ex-California attorney general and U.S. senator, said in a statement Sunday afternoon:

"On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country. His remarkable legacy of accomplishment is unmatched in modern American history, surpassing the legacy of many Presidents who have served two terms in office. It is a profound honor to serve as his Vice President, and I am deeply grateful to the President, Dr. Biden, and the entire Biden family. ...

"I am honored to have the President's endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination," she continued. "Over the past year, I have traveled across the country, talking with Americans about the clear choice in this momentous election. And that is what I will continue to do in the days and weeks ahead. I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party — and unite our nation — to defeat Donald

Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda. We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win."

Until his change of course on Sunday, Biden dismissed calls from Democrats in Congress to quit the presidential campaign because of concerns about his age and fitness to run against Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump. Biden's announcement followed a coronavirus diagnosis on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who according to published reports was on Biden's short list of candidates for vice president in 2020 when she was a House member, endorsed Harris hours after the president's announcement to withdraw from the race. In the same announcementBiden endorsed Harris, who in 2022 administered the oath of office to Bass when she was sworn in as mayor.

"Vice President Harris leads with strength, courage, and compassion, "Bass said. "She has been an invaluable ally in our work to improve LA's economy, safety and infrastructure, and in our work to house Angelenos.

"She has always been there for Los Angeles, going back long before she was elected Vice President," Bass continued. "When I served in Congress and she was our Senator, we worked closely together on violence prevention and criminal justice reforms. When she was Attorney General during the housing crisis, she

helped prevent thousands of people from losing their homes by securing billions of dollars in a historic settlement for California families. She also worked to protect the environment while ensuring good-paying union jobs were available for Angelenos. ...

"I am proud to endorse Vice President Harris to be the next President of the United States and call on all Democrats to join me in doing everything possible to help her win this election," Bass said.

Prior to the joint endorsement statement Sunday, the mayor praised Biden, describing him as "one of the most successful and consequential Presidents in American history — and Angelenos have benefited directly from his leadership.

"His partnership was essential in unsheltered homelessness in Los

Angeles decreasing for the first time in years," Bass said. "He has helped provide Angelenos with health care, lower prescription drug costs, stronger infrastructure, an expanded public transportation system, and a greener Los Angeles. Just this week, we celebrated more than $70 million in federal investments to expand LA Metro's electric bus fleet as we prepare to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games."

A number of Southern California Democrats and Republicans issued prepared statements on Biden's withdrawal from the campaign.

"From the first time Vice President Biden called me when my mother passed in 2011, to my experience working with Congress, I've seen nothing but a man who is kind, compassionate, and

always puts people and his country first," Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn said. "We thank him for his decades of public service and joining with all of us as we make sure our democratic values win in November."

LA County Board of Supervisors Chair Lindsey Horvath said on social media that Biden "has again demonstrated tremendous leadership by prioritizing the American people. I am grateful for the care he has shown to our country, strengthening our economy, protecting our environment and advancing justice. We'll never forget his strength and selflessness."

Supervisor Hilda Solis said Biden's "legacy is dominated by equity and equality — from his commitment to delivering afford-

LA mayor among presidential delegation traveling for Paris Olympic Games

By City News Service

Mayor Karen Bass, Sen. Alex Padilla and LA28 Chairman Casey Wasserman will be among the members of a presidential delegation visiting Paris for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the White House announced Monday.

In addition to serving in the presidential delegation this week, Bass is expected to travel to Paris two additional times, according to her office.

Leaders from the civic and private sectors will also be joining state and federal leaders during visits to Paris with the aim of establishing business and diplomatic connections ahead of the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 2028.

"We must continue our urgent work ensuring that Angelenos benefit from the preparation for the games, as well as in the decades following," Bass said in a statement. "Together, we will showcase Los Angeles -- not just the popular tourist destinations, but each of our beautiful neighborhoods and communities. Together, we will leverage the games to help local small businesses, create

local jobs and create lasting environmental and transportation improvements throughout Los Angeles."

Bass will travel with first lady Jill Biden as part of the first presidential delegation from Thursday to Saturday for the opening ceremonies. The group will also include Padilla, D-California; Wasserman; Denise Campbell Bauer, U.S. Ambassador to the French Republic and Principality of Monaco; Sen. Chris Coons, D-Delaware; Dawn Staley, head women's basketball coach of the University of South Carolina, and three-time Olympic gold medalist; and Brian Boitano, a three-time figure skating Olympian and gold medalist.

Bass is expected to attend the opening ceremony with Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, as well meet with business leaders and other stakeholders to establish opportunities in Los Angeles. The LA 2028 Games will take place across several cities, including Inglewood, Long Beach, Carson, Temecula, and others.

Bass will also visit the Team USA High Performance Training Center, meet with

Team USA athletes at the Team USA House and attend sports competitions. During her visit, Bass and her staff will collect information about the stadiums in Paris and compare them to those in Los Angeles that will serve as Olympic venues.

The mayor is also set to visit Paris from Aug. 7-12. During her visit - - which is not part of a presidential delegation -- Bass will meet with the mayors of SaintOuen and Saint-Denis, which are located outside of Paris, and where competitions are taking place and athletes are being housed.

"As the mayor of Los Angeles, the host city for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Mayor Bass has an official role against Paris Mayor Hidalgo in the closing ceremonies of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, where she will receive the official Olympic flag to Los Angeles," Bass' office said in a statement.

The meetings will serve as follow ups from when Bass last visited Paris in March, when she met with the mayors and toured the Athletes' Village.

Following the 2028

Olympic Games, Bass will be back in Paris from Sept. 6-8, preparing for Los Angeles' first-ever Paralympic Games. Bass will meet with Paralympic athletes alongside members of LA28, L.A. City Council, and Metro leadership. The mayor will present a medal, visit the International Broadcast Center, and participate in the Paralympic Olympic closing ceremony, among other events.

Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Long Beach, will be part of a presidential delegation led by second gentleman Douglas Emhoff that will attend the Olympics closing ceremony. Also included in that group will be Bauer; Sen. Laphonza Butler, D-California; Chaunté Lowe, a member of the President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition, and a four-time track and field Olympian;andBriana Scurry, a two-time gold medal winner in women's soccer.

Accordingtothe White House, two other presidentialdelegations attending the opening and closing ceremonies of the Paralympic Games will be announced at a later date.

Sen. J.D. Vance, whom Donald Trump named as his vice presidential running mate July 15, told a group of influential young conservatives in a closeddoor speech in 2021 that they should stand up for “nonconventional people” who speak truth, such as Infowars founder Alex Jones.

“If you listen to Rachel Maddow every night, the basic worldview that you have is that MAGA grandmas who have family dinners on Sunday and bake apple pies for their family are about to start a violent insurrection against this country,” Vance said. “But if you listen to Alex Jones every day, you would believe that a transnational financial elite controls things in our country, that they hate our society, and oh, by the way, a lot of them are probably sex perverts too.”

Vance went on, “Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, that’s actually a hell of a lot more true than Rachel Maddow’s view of society.”

He said that every person in attendance for his speech believed “something that’s a little crazy.” In his case, he said, “I believe the devil is real and that he works terrible things in our society. That’s a crazy conspiracy theory to a lot of very well-educated people in this country right now.”

Vance made these remarks at a September 2021 gathering of the Teneo Network, an invitation-only group of young conservatives that counts elected officials, pro athletes, financial executives and media figures among its members. Vance joined Teneo six years ago. ProPublica and Documented obtained a video recording of his 30-minute speech and question-and-answer session, which has not been

previously reported.

Vance’s remarks at the conference — which you can read a transcript of or watch in full at https:// youtu.be/XU7n4id7uSM

— give a rare unvarnished look at his thinking and illustrate how aligned he is with various factions within the conservative and MAGA movements. “I’ll throw out the standard campaign speech,” he began his Teneo talk. “[I’ll] actually just try to level with you guys about what I do see is the big — a few big problems that are in our country right now.”

According to tax records, the Teneo Network’s chairman is Leonard Leo, the legal activist who built a pipeline of lawyers who interpret the Constitution based on the “original intent” of the framers or the meaning of the words in the text when they were written. One of the most influential conservatives of the past three decades, Leo helped confirm all six conservative justices currently serving on the U.S. Supreme Court. Leoaligned judges have pushed to restrict abortion rights and rein in the government’s power to regulate corporations.

Leo has said he views the Teneo Network as a way to extend his influence beyond the judiciary to industries including finance, media, government and Silicon Valley. The network identifies and cultivates conservative leaders in “other areas of American culture and American life where things are really messed up right now,” as Leo put it in a Teneo video.

According to internal Teneo documents, Vance joined Teneo in 2018, several years before he ran for Senate in his home state of Ohio. His book, “Hill-

billy Elegy,” had already become a bestseller, and Vance was a commentator for CNN while running his own nonprofit and investment fund backing startup companies outside of Silicon Valley.

“JD Vance has been part of the organization for at least five years and his appearance at the 2021 Teneo Retreat was well received by many young professional leaders in attendance,” Leo said. A spokesperson for the Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

By the time Vance spoke at Teneo’s 2021 conference, he had joined the race to fill outgoing Sen. Rob Portman’s seat. Despite his past criticisms of Trump, which included calling the former president an “idiot” and comparing him to Adolf Hitler, Vance won Trump’s endorsement in 2022 and cruised to a comfortable victory.

Vance’s connection to Teneo could form a bridge between different factions of the Republican Party that seem to be at odds. Previous news stories have reported that Trump and Leo, who advised the former president on judicial nominees during his administration, are no longer as close as they once were. Russ Vought, a Trump

ally, publicly denigrated the Federalist Society, the legal networking group Leo and others built into a juggernaut.

Adding Vance to the ticket bolsters the connections between Leo’s network and the Trump 2024 campaign. It also strengthens ties between Trump’s reelection bid and the Project 2025 blueprint, which outlines plans for a second Trump administration, including firing thousands of career civil servants, shuttering the Department of Education and replacing ambitious goals to combat climate change with ramped-up fossil fuel production. In a recent TV interview, Vance said the document contained “some good ideas” but claimed that “most Americans couldn’t care less about Project 2025” and that the Trump campaign wasn’t affiliated with it.

In his Teneo remarks, he bemoaned that decades ago major corporate CEOs reliably donated money to Republicans but now they give heavily to Democrats. He lamented that conservatives had “very few oligarchs on our side,” had “lost every institution in American society” and needed to make corporations “taking the side of the

“So we’ve not just lost the academy,” meaning universities, “which we’ve lost for a long time; we haven’t just lost the media, which has been on the side of the left for a long time; we now find ourselves in a situation where our biggest multinational corporations are active participants in the culture war on the other side,” he said. “It’s really been a few of us over the past few years who have recognized that the big corporations have really turned against conservatives in a very big and powerful way.”

He argued that conservatives needed to take action against corporations that, say, defended abortion rights or punished employees who spoke out against abortion access. “If we’re unwilling to make companies that are taking the side of the left in the culture wars feel real economic pain, then we’re not serious about winning the culture war,” he said.

He said that Americans were “terrified to tell the truth” and “point out the obvious,” including that “there are real biological, cultural, religious, spiritual distinctions between men and women.” He added, “I think that’s what the whole transgender thing is about, is like fundamentally denying basic reality.”

Shortly before he spoke at the Teneo conference, Vance drew criticism when he tweeted that “Alex Jones is a far more reputable source of information than Rachel Maddow.” Jones, founder of the online show Infowars, gained a following with his promotion of conspiracy theories about the Sept. 11 terrorist attack. More recently, judges in several states ordered him to pay $1.5 billion to the families of the victims of the Sandy Hook school shooting, which Jones had

Vance told Teneo members that he was “just trolling” with his defense of Jones, but added “that doesn’t mean what I said is in any way untrue.”

“Look, I think there’s a not-terrible chance that one of you is going to be sharing cellblock 12A in Premier Harris’ prison detention camp in a few years,” he explained, seemingly referring to Vice President Kamala Harris. “If we’re going to all end up in that place, we might as well have a little fun while we get there. It’s OK to troll when you make and speak fundamental truths. But, look, I do think what I said was correct.”

If the conservative movement was going to survive, he continued, its members needed to “speak for truth.” He mentioned donors in Ohio who had asked him if he would condemn inflammatory remarks made by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“And I say, ‘Why? Why do you want me to denounce this person?’” Vance said. “‘Well, she believes these crazy things.’ Who cares?” He went on, “Believing crazy things is not the mark of whether somebody should be rejected. Believing important truths should be the mark of whether we accept somebody, and if they believe some crazy things on the side, that’s fine. We need to be OK with nonconventional people.” Update, July 16, 2024: This story has been updated to include comment from Leonard Leo.

Doyouremember when layoffs were unusual? They were a last resort that companies would only take if they had no other choice. Layoffs were shocking. They were a mark of shame on employers who couldn't seem to find any other option.

Today,layoffsare commonplace. In fact, they can be a badge of honor for a company. A company's stock price may go up following a layoff. Layoffs have evolved from a last resort to a first stop on the list of ways to save money.

Layoffs have become so normal that at times executive leadership may fail to mention to anyone that a layoff has occurred. And, the annual reviews that were once used to help improve someone's career are now the first place an employer may look for the best candidates to lay off.

Career corner: The emotional impact of layoffs

All in all, this is inhumane. What is going on for the employee who was walked out the door? Have layoffs been so normalized that these employees are not personally impacted?

The answer is: no. Employees who are laid off for any reason can face career-long ramifications that we often don't think about. It's such a painful topic that those who were laid off often don't talk about it. Or, they may pretend that it's normal.

According to Kyra Bobinet's book, “Unstoppable Brain,” layoffs bring "longterm negative consequences, including health issues, significant mental and financial stress, and a 1.3 to 3 times risk of suicide."

A Harvard Business Review article also noted that, "displaced workers have twice the risk of developing depression, and four times the risk of substance abuse." It also

TBy Angela Copeland angela@copelandcoaching.com

notes the cumulative effect of unemployment. Displaced workers often experience long-term income loss that sticks around for their entire career. "For example, workers laid off during the 1980s recession saw a 30 percent earnings decline, and 20 years later, most of them still earned 20 percent less than peers who retained their jobs."

These are startling statistics. Job loss might be compared to the deal of a spouse. It's losing a big part of your identity that is shocking and hard to recover from. In our achievementbased culture, it can feel like a reflection on who you are as a person. It can feel like a reflection of failed performance.

If you have gone through a layoff, I empathize with your experience. But, do not take too much time off between opportunities.

Start looking as fast as you can. The quicker you find something new, the more you will minimize the financial and emotional impact of the experience. And, the less likely the layoff will follow you through your

Study: Lower-income gamblers take greater risks online

he legalization of online gambling increases state revenues, but also leads to irresponsible betting, especially among lower-income gamblers, a report from UC San Diego's Rady School of Management purports Tuesday.

Since the 2018 U.S. Supreme Court decision that allowed states to legalize sports betting, online gambling markets have expanded significantly, with online gaming reaching a record 29.3% of total commercial gaming revenue in the first quarter of this year.

As the Paris Summer Olympics approach,

researchers believe activity will increase on gaming sites such as DraftKings and FanDuel. A total of 16 states have launched legal sports betting markets in the three years since the 2021 Tokyo games.

"Our data show that online gambling legalization leads to more irresponsible gambling spending among lower-income consumers than among higher-income gamblers," said Kenneth Wilbur, professor of marketing and analytics at the Rady School and co-author of the study. "We define gambling irresponsibly as spending a high proportion of their income -- for example, 10% -- on gambling."

By City News Service

Currently, 30 states permit online sports betting with seven of them also allowing online casino gaming (California does not allow online sports betting). The paper's authors looked at data from 32 states over five years -- comparing 18 states that changed online gambling policies to 14 that did not. What they found was that the house (nearly) always wins.

"Of the more than 700,000 gamblers that we studied, 96% percent appeared to lose money to online gambling," Wilbur said. "Only 4% made money from online betting. That is by design. Online gambling platforms often ban or throttle frequent winners'

accounts. There is no right to gamble."

For around 250,000 of those studied, the Rady School researchers could analyze gambling as a percentage of income through direct deposit data.

Canada advises gamblers to spend less than 1% of monthly income on gambling. However, the data revealed that 43% of gamblers studied exceeded 1% of income in gambling months, with 5.3% spending more than 10% of their income on gambling and 3.2% spending more than 15% of their monthly pay.

"Our analysis shows that online gambling legalization leads to far more irresponsible gambling among lower-

income gamblers than among higher- income gamblers," Wilbur said. "These findings emphasize the high financial risk associated with online gambling."

The researchers seek to provide the data to state legislatures as some -- such as New York and Illinois -consider expanding legalized gambling.

Study authors found gambling helpline calls did increase as gambling became legal in the 14 states analyzed, most notably in New York; however, suicides did not increase.

The authors write that suicide data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, while informative, has

limitations in measuring gambling-related suicides. State coroners generally do not document gambling as a contributing factor in suicide records, likely because they do not observe decedents' gambling activity. Ultimately, the authors conclude that legalized gambling has both pros and cons.

"On the positive side, states can generate revenue, potentially reduce illegal gambling and make it easier for individuals to seek help for gambling problems," they write. "On the downside, increased accessibility and participation can lead to higher rates of problematic gambling behavior."

Politics take center stage at national convention for educators

By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News Service

Afterahistoric weekend,politics turned out to be the major topic Monday at the national convention of more than 3,500 teachers union members.

The American Federation of Teachers, which is holding its biennial conference in Houston, is one of the groups to endorse Kamala Harris for President.

Randi Weingarten, president of the federation, praised the Biden/Harris administration's commitment to public education, while accusing Republicans of undermining workers' rights and attacking academic freedom.

"When the history books are written about this moment, let them record that we the people united,

mobilized, and voted down this existential threat to democracy and freedom," Weingarten stated.

Conservatives have argued public employee unions are too powerful.

Weingarten criticized the Trump administration's support of school vouchers, arguing they largely help wealthy families pay for private or religious schools, diverting funds from public education.

The union leader also slammed efforts across the country to ban controversial books in school libraries and restrict teaching on history, social justice and climate change.

"They fear what we do: The teaching of reason, of critical thinking, of honest history, of pluralism," Wein-

garten asserted. "Because their brand of greed, of power, of privilege cannot survive in a democracy of diverse, educated citizens."

Cassondra Curiel, a middle school English teacher and president of the United Educators of San Francisco, believes the administrations of Gov. Gavin Newsom and President Joe Biden have improved education funding in recent years, but said much more needs to be done.

"Pre-COVID, California was the 46th funded public education system in the country and post-COVID, we've now risen to 36th," Curiel pointed out. "As the fifth-largest economy in the world, we really have a moral obligation to fund

public education like we mean it."

Leaders at the conference also called for stricter gun laws, to reduce the likelihood of school shootings going forward.

Report: California giant sequoia groves in peril after megafires

wo new studies find that without sustained intervention, California may permanently lose big sections of old-growth giant sequoia groves. The majestic trees only grow on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada. Since 2015, 20% of them have died, mostly in three megafires in 2020 and 2021.

David Soderberg, Ph.D, a biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey and a study co-author, said the blazes incinerated many of the older, seed-bearing trees.

"You're getting much larger patches of fires burning at what's called high severity. So, you have this kind of bad combination for the sequoias where many more of the mature trees are dying, and there are many fewer of the seedlings regenerating," he explained.

The studies show there are substantially fewer seedlings than in the past, and those that germinate are imperiled by drought and heat stress linked to climate change. The Giant Sequoia Lands Coalition partners have planted more than 500,000 native seed-

By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News Service

lings in severely burned areas where reproduction has been insufficient.

Paul Ringgold, chief program officer with the Save the Redwoods League, said the idea is to give forest regeneration a head start.

"When you're planting seedlings, you're planting trees that have been grown in the nursery for two years or more. They're more robust than a seedling that is sprouting from a seed, giving it a little bit of an edge against the impact of drier, hotter summers," he said.

Old-growth sequoia

are the world's largest trees and depend on fire to reproduce. But Ringgold noted that past fire-suppression efforts have led to a buildup of excessive fuel loads in the forests. So, extensive projects are underway to clear out dead vegetation and make the groves more resilient to fire.

Hate crimes against membersofthe LGBTQ+ community have risen for the second year in a row, according to the latest "State of Pride" report from the California Department of Justice.

Between 2022 and 2023, the report showed hate crimes motivated by antiLGBTQ bias increased more than 86% across the state.

Toni Newman, chair of the nonprofit Trans Can

Anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes rise in California

Work, explained the importance of finding solutions.

"The death of trans women in the United States remains a critical issue highlighting racism, transphobia, and systemic violence," Newman emphasized. "(For) transgender women, particularly those of color, there's disproportionatelyhigh rates of violence."

So far in 2024, the Human Rights Campaign has tracked 20 violent

By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News Service

deaths of transgender and gender-expansive people, about half at the hands of intimate partners. It said 70% were people of color, and 35% were Black transgender women.

Becky Monroe, deputy director of strategic initiatives and external affairs for the California Civil Rights Department, wants victims to know they can call the new hotline at 833-8-NOHATE or go to the website

CAvsHate.org.

"We provide services in over 200 languages if people call," Monroe explained. "If you go on our website, we have a statewide network made up of hundreds of community-based organizations that are able to serve."

California versus Hate connects callers with trauma-informed counselors. Monroe added they can refer victims to law enforcement upon request.

California political analysts project close race as Biden endorses Harris

By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News Service

Californiapolitical analysts predict the race for president will tighten since President Joe Biden has dropped out and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.

If elected, Harris would be the first Black woman and first person of Asian descent to ascend to the highest office in the land.

Lynn Vavreck, professor of political science at the University of California-Los

Angeles, predicted it will re-energize the race on the Democratic side.

"There will be a flood of money coming into whatever the new ticket is likely to be," Vavreck pointed out. "The race will once again tighten to be somewhere around 50/50. That will roll us into the Democratic convention. And from that point forward, it's not that long until early voting starts."

Harris has vowed to "earn

and win" the nomination at the Democratic National Convention, which starts in Chicago on Aug. 19. It is unclear if anyone will challenge Harris for the nomination, or whom she might choose as a running mate.

Mark Baldassare, survey director for the Public Policy Institute of California, noted Harris previously served as a U.S. Senator from California, Attorney General of the Golden State, and District

Attorney for San Francisco.

"This is somebody who has a long history of public service at the local, state and national levels," Baldassare emphasized. "And of course, spent three years as the vice president, which is very relevant (to) somebody who would step into the Oval Office and become president."

Harris is a strong supporter of abortion rights, voting rights, social justice and environmental causes.

Antonio Villaraigosa announces bid for California governor

By City News Service

Former Los Angeles

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosaannounced Tuesday that he is running for governor of California in 2026, billing himself as a "proven problem solver."

"California is a state where anything is possible with hard work and determination," Villaraigosa said in an 86-second announcement video. "But our future depends on our willingness to face our biggest chal-

lenges. I believe we need a problem solver to lead our state. That's why I'm running for governor."

Villaraigosa went on to tout his record as Assembly speaker from 1998- 2000 and mayor from 2005-13.

The 71-year-old Democrat pledged as governor to "balance the state budget, make sure our neighborhoods are safe and our kids have great schools. I'll bring down costs for small businesses and

middle-class families."

Villaraigosa finished third in a field of 32 in the 2018 gubernatorial primary with 13.3% of the vote behind fellow Democrat Gavin Newsom, then the lieutenant governor, who received 33.7% and Republican businessman John Cox, who received 25.4%.

Other Democrats in the 2026 race for governor include Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, the first to declare her candidacy,

state Sen. Toni Atkins, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond and former Controller Betty Yee.

Attorney General Rob Bonta is weighing a bid.

On the Republican side, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco is weighing a run, while Leo Zacky, vice president of Zacky Farms, and former judge Jimmy Parker have declared their candidacies.

Number of drug OD deaths stabilize in 2023, LA County data shows

By Staff

Drug overdoses and poisoning deaths stabilized last year for the first time in a decade in Los Angeles County, health officials announced Monday.

An analysis by the Department of Public Health of LA County Department of Medical Examiner data found drug-related overdose and poisoning deaths dropped slightly from 3,220 in 2022 to 3,092 in 2023. This was the first drop in the number of fatalities since 2014, following unprecedented increases of more than 300% in the last 10 years.

"While 2023 national overdose and poisoning death data remains provisional, it suggests that there is a potential plateauing of overdose and poisoning deaths nationally as well," according to the Department of Public Health. "This plateauing of overdoses and poisonings represents a step in the right direction after meteoric rises amid the worst overdose crisis in both local and national history, and speaks to the health impact of LA County’s expansion of overdose prevention and response efforts."

Additional findings of the data analysis include:

-- Fentanyl continues to be a leading contributor to fatal overdoses and poisonings, with methamphetamine almost equally as lethal;

-- adults ages 26-64 continue to be the highest demographic for overdose and poisoning deaths in total fatalities and rates;

-- Black people are disproportionately represented in overdose and poisoning deaths, while Latinx and white county residents had the highest amount of total fatalities — 2023 was the first year in which fentanyl-related Latinx overdose and poisoning numbers surpassed that of whites; and

-- overdose and poisoning deaths continue to impact county residents across social and economic lines.

“The number of lives lost due to overdoses and poisonings have been devastating. The findings demonstrate that through a continuum of preventative, harm reduction, and treatment approaches, we can bend the curve on overdoses,”

Barbara Ferrer, director of the Department of Public Health, said in a statement.

“That said, we are still at historic highs in terms of overdose and poisoning numbers and have a lot of work ahead of us to ensure continued declines in deaths. I encourage everyone to get naloxone, the overdose prevention medication, and to feel empowered to seek help for their substance use.”

In response to the overdose crisis, LA County increased investments in

substance use prevention, treatment and harm reduction services by more than 260%, 275% and 500%, respectively.

"The collective impact of these intersecting interventions offers the best opportunity to address the varied needs of County residents and to further reduce overdose and poisoning death rates," according to the Public Health statement.

"Decades of evidence support the notion that when it comes to substance use, prevention comes first, treatment works, and recovery is possible," officials said. "While the challenges from the overdose crisis are difficult, data is demonstrating that they are not intractable — working together, a public health approach can advance our shared goals of healthier people, safer streets, and stronger communities."

The drug fatality data was analyzed and released by the Department of Public Health’s Bureau of Substance Abuse Prevention and Control. The findings were part of an annual review of data on overdoses and poisonings countywide related to fentanyl. The report is available on Public Health’s website.

Officials said assistance for substance use services is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week by calling 800-854-7771 and selecting option 2 after the language prompt.

Bonnie (A514720)

Four-year-old Bonnie is such a sweetheart! She's friendly, affectionate, and adorably wiggly. She’s ready to be your best friend in the whole world! Bonnie is super cute when she plays with squeaky toys and will chase them around for a bit, but she eventually settles into her favorite “sploot” position with her back legs stretched out behind her. Playing with squeaky toys is only her second favorite activity, though – she absolutely loves cuddling and giving kisses above anything else! She’s even super eager to cuddle with strangers, immediately wiggling over to them with a wagging tail. Bonnie has gone to some of our pop-up adoption events and has made fast friends with other dogs. At our most recent event, she befriended another adoptable pup named Gracy, and the two of them were even spotted snuggling together and kissing each other on the face. If you’re looking for a dog who’s overflowing with love to give, Bonnie is your gal! Bonnie and all other dogs over 40 pounds can be adopted at no charge during Pasadena Humane’s Big Dog Summer adoption event through July 25 (ending soon!). After that, the regular adoption fee for dogs is $150. All dog adoptions include spay or neuter, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccines. Walk-in adoptions are available every day from 2:00 – 5:00. For those who prefer, adoption appointments are available daily from 10:30 – 1:30, and can be scheduled online. View photos of adoptable pets at pasadenahumane.org. New adopters will receive a complimentary health-and-wellness exam from VCA Animal Hospitals, as well as a goody bag filled with information about how to care for your pet. Pets may not be available for adoption and cannot be held for potential adopters by phone calls or email.

Costello (A514637)

Costello is a handsome four-year-old tuxedo cat seeking an experienced cat person to give him a wonderful home! Costello’s love language may not be touch (he’s not a snuggler at this time), but it’s definitely food! From squeezy treats to crunchies to wet food, this cat is a fan of it all. His preferred style of interaction involves playtime and tasty treats. He’s also a great listener, so if you’re looking for someone to talk to, Costello could be your guy. Costello would be a wonderful companion for a patient adopter who can go at his pace and give him time to come out of his shell. He’s ready to build a special bond with you over time... you bring the snacks! The adoption fee for cats is $100. All cat adoptions include spay or neuter, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccines. Walk-in adoptions are available every day from 2:00 – 5:00. For those who prefer, adoption appointments are available daily from 10:30 – 1:30, and can be scheduled online.

UCLA Extension receives $6M gift from author Scott Galloway

By City News Service

UExtension has received a $6 million gift from professor, author and entrepreneur Scott Galloway to fund a new program that gives nontraditional students access to the skills and resources needed to launch their careers, it was announced Tuesday.

Galloway also gifted $6 million to the Extension program at UC Berkeley, making the combined $12 million award one of the largest gifts focused on University of California continuing and professional education, UC Extension officials said.

"The accessibility and affordability of UCLA and UC Berkeley changed my life," Galloway, an alumnus of both universities, said in a statement.

"I'm hoping this gift puts the educational resources

of both universities within reach for more people and provides skills that lead to the growth of good jobs in the Main Street economy."

The new UC Excelerator program, scheduled to begin this fall, is aimed primarily at community college graduates and those with limited college experience. The program will provide students with career-focused coursework,networking opportunities and access to industry leaders, all free of cost, according to UC.

Galloway received a bachelor's degree in economics from UCLA in 1987 and a master's in business administration from UC Berkeley in 1992. A member of the faculty of New York University's Stern School of Business since 2002, Galloway has started multiple companies focused on business intelligence and e- commerce, has written several New York Times bestsellers and is a host of the podcasts "Pivot" and "ProfG."

Fall 2024 UC Excelerator offerings at UCLA will focus on business and entrepreneurship. UC Berkeley's program will concentrate on data analytics, facilities management and project management.

"ScottGalloway's generous gift will help us continue to widen the doors of opportunity and provide our students with the tools and connections needed to thrive in today's economy," UCLA Chancellor Gene Block said. "Galloway has been outspoken about the immense impact that UCLA and UC Berkeley had on his life and career, and we are extraordinarily appreciative that he is helping to extend the promise of public higher education to so many others."

LA hit with lawsuit over alleged Clean Water Act violations at port

By City News Service

Anenvironmental advocacy group sued the city of Los Angeles and its Harbor Department Tuesday, alleging the Port of Los Angeles has routinely exceeded legal limits on fecal bacteria, copper and other cancer-causing pollutants discharged into San Pedro Bay.

Environment California also alleges that the port's stormwater treatment system is drastically undersized and that, as a result, untreated wastewaterfrequently bypasses the system entirely, violating federal law, according to the suit filed in Los Angeles federal court.

A message seeking comment from the LA City Attorney's Office was not immediately returned.

The lawsuit discusses how stormwater pollution after rainfall frequently forces the closure of Southern California beaches. Inner Cabrillo Beach, located at the edge

of LA Harbor and just downstream from the port, was ranked as one of the beaches with the most potentially unsafe days by Environment America in its 2023 "Safe for Swimming?" report.

Beaches in Long Beach are also frequently closed to the public after rain due to health hazards posed by high levels of bacteria, the group said.

At issue, plaintiffs contend, is stormwater conveyed from a 53-acre portion of the port, located about 25 miles south of downtown Los Angeles, to an on-site treatment system. That system is supposed to remove the grit, toxic metals and bacteria that accumulate on the property during dry weather.

However, the Los Angeles-based advocacy organization says the port's treatment system is both ineffective and undersized. According to the lawsuit, the port has consistently violated the federal Clean Water Act for

years by discharging excessive, illegal levels of fecal bacteria and copper. Despite regularly paying a mandatory minimum state penalty of $3,000 per violation, the violations have continued unabated, Environment California alleges.

"Everyone in and around the Los Angeles Harbor knows that the water quality is terrible," Laura Deehan, Environment California's state director, said in a statement.

"We are suing to get the port's pollution of San Pedro Bay under control and make it a model for improving water quality. If a well-funded city department pollutes in violation of its Clean Water Act permit limits, how can the city expect anyone else to comply?"

Deehan called for the city to upgrade its water treatment systems at the port.

"This is a classic case of `pay-to-pollute,' where the port habitually violates its

Check Your Number

Clean Water Act permit, pays a slap-on-the-wrist- penalty, and then, undeterred, just goes right on polluting," she said. "As storms become more severe due to climate change, it is imperative that the port upgrade its treatment systems to keep illegal, preventable pollution out of our coastal waters. The

port can afford to solve this problem -- and the people of California cannot afford for unchecked pollution like this to continue."

The port is a department of the city that is entirely funded through leasing and shipping fees assessed on more than 200 shipping companies that use the

facility. It has been the top container port in the United States for each of the last 24 years. The port encompasses 7,500 acres of land and water, handles around $300 billion worth of cargo each year, and had net operating revenues of $357 million in 2023, according to Environment California.

2 new exhibits to open at Academy Museum of Motion Pictures this October

By Staff

The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures has announced details of its two marquee Fall 2024 exhibitions, “Color in Motion: Chromatic Explorations of Cinema” and “Cyberpunk: Envisioning Possible Futures Through Cinema,” on view Oct. 6, 2024.

“Color in Motion” investigates the role of color in film, from the technological advancements that made its use possible, to the ways filmmakers use color as a storytelling tool, to its psychological impact on audiences. On view Oct. 6, 2024 through July 13, 2025, this exhibition highlights the role color has played since the earliest days of film history—both as a tool for technological experimentation and artistic expression.

The exhibition features technologies from Technicolor and Eastman Color, objects such as the legendary ruby slippers designed by Gilbert Adrian from “The Wizard of Oz” (1939), the green dress designed by Edith Head and worn by Kim Novak in “Vertigo” (1958), a

Wonka chocolate bar from “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” (1971), a blue ensemble worn by Jaime Foxx as Django in “Django Unchained” (2012), many animations and films, and a recreation of the stargate corridor from Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” (1968), which will transport visitors into a colorverse.

Jessica Niebel, senior exhibitions curator, said, “Color in Motion will offer visitors both dynamic learning opportunities and emotional connection through an engagement of the senses. Exploring color through the lenses of technology, artistry, and experimentation, the exhibition is as entertaining as it is informational.”

“Cyberpunk,” on view Oct. 6, 2024 through April 12, 2026, examines the global impact and lasting influence of the science fiction subgenre cyberpunk on film culture. The Academy Museum’s presentation explores this genre through an international and multigenerational lens,

featuring more than 25 films, including “Blade Runner” (1982), “Tron” (1982), “Videodrome” (1983), “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” (1991), “The Matrix” (1999), “Sleep Dealer” (2008), and “Alita: Battle Angel” (2019), as well as Afrofuturist films, including “Pumzi” (2009) from Kenya, “Neptune Frost” (2021) from Rwanda, and Indigenous futurist films, such as “Night Raiders” (2021) from Canada.

especially relevant moment to present an exhibition on cyberpunk cinema,” said Vice President of Curatorial Affairs Doris Berger. “I’m particularly excited that our exhibition presents classic cyberpunk movies alongside more recent futurist films from around the world.”

“Color in Motion” and “Cyberpunk” are part of PST ART: Art & Science Collide, an initiative presented by

“With the rapid advancement of new technologies, including artificial intelligence, now feels like an

Getty featuring more than 70 cultural institutions across Southern California, offering thematically linked exhibi-

tions and programs in a fivemonth-long exploration of the intersections of art and science. Both exhibitions will have companion publications and bespoke merchandise available at the Academy Museum Store.

Coinciding with the opening of “Color in Motion,” the Academy Museum will present a selection of films in a limited screening series entitled The Wonder of Technicolor, kicking off with a new 35mm print of Alfred Hitchcock’s “Vertigo” (1958) from the Academy Film Archive

on Sunday, Oct. 6. The series will run through Nov. 23. In January 2025, the museum will present a screening series to complement “Cyberpunk,” featuring films by David Cronenberg, the Wachowskis, and more.

As a prelude to PST ART, the Academy Museum will host a screening of “Hackers” (1995) at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 20, 2024. In advance of the screening, visitors will be invited to participate in photo opportunities and receive complimentary PST Art Merchandise.

LA County board to establish Independent Ethics Commission

By Anusha Shankar, City News Service

The Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to begin the process of establishing an Independent Ethics Commission, a proposal that is also included in a package of proposed county government changes expected to go before voters in November.

Supervisor Kathryn Barger said previously that establishing an Ethics Commission is something the board can do right away, without waiting for a public vote in November, and she vowed to bring a motion to begin the process. That motion, co-authored by Horvath, was approved by the board Tuesday in a 5-0 vote, calling on the county to set up an Ethics Commission to "oversee ethics, financial disclosures, lobbying, and

campaign finance laws."

"Ethics reform is not just about compliance with rules and laws, but about instilling a culture of integrity and responsibility within government to the benefit of the constituents it serves," the motion reads.

The motion instructs County Counsel to report back to the board in 30 days on the creation of the proposed commission, which would contain five members who will be tasked with overseeing conduct of county officials, financial disclosures and lobbying, along with regularly reviewing the County Code.

The matter is expected to return to the board on Sept. 10. Meanwhile, on a separate

3-2 vote, the board gave initial approval to an ordinance that would put the proposed package of county government changes on the Nov. 5 ballot. Those changes would expand the board from its current five members to nine in 2030, transition the CEO position from an appointed to an elected position by 2028, and establish a Governance Reform Task Force and Charter Review Commission.

The changes also include establishment of two new positions -- a director of Budget and Management, and a County Legislative Analyst -- by 2028.

The package will also still include the establishment of an Ethics Commission, despite the board already moving forward on that

effort. Board Chair Lindsey Horvath said if the public votes in favor of the Ethics Commission charter amendment in November, it would codify it into the Charter and ensure it "cannot be undone."

Barger and Supervisor

Holly Mitchell voted against the ordinance calling for the charter election. They had suggested removing the proposal to make the CEO an elected position, saying that the job should remain fully non-partisan and be given to someone with the proper qualifications. But the other board members declined to remove that item from the package of proposed changes. The ordinance will return to the board next week for a final vote.

able healthcare, fighting for social justice, strengthening environmental protection, and protecting women's reproductive rights, to curbing the public-health scourge of gun violence, investing in America's future, addressing income inequality and combatting climate change. ...

"I had the great honor to serve as Labor Secretary in President Obama's cabinet and have seen firsthand the character and decency of President Biden that is rooted in his faith, which has helped him persevere and overcome devastating personal tragedy.

"I thank him and his wife, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, for tirelessly serving our country with continued dignity, grace, honesty, character, and devotion and for always placing the country's needs above their own," Solis said.

Supervisor Holly Mitchell thanked the president for "exemplary leadership and dedication to this country. You have led us through unprecedented times and continue to show us what it means to be a genuine public servant."

Rep Judy Chu, D-Monterey Park, lauded Biden "for his unwavering commitment to bettering our country. ... Bringing us out of a once-in-a-century pandemic. Fighting against anti-Asian hate, signing the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act into law, and starting the process for a national museum that celebrates Asian American and Pacific Islander history. Nominating a historic number of women, people of color, and LGTBQ+ Americans for executive positions and judicial roles. Powering an infrastructure and manufacturing boom. ... Overseeing the biggest investment in fighting the climate crisis ever and protecting millions of acres of public lands, including the San Gabriel Mountains in my district. ...

"I can never forget the empathy President Biden showed in a time of immense need for the families of the victims of a mass shooting

in my hometown Monterey Park," Chu said. "I am forever grateful for the hours he spent with us in this selfless act of healing for our community. President Biden is a good, decent man who has always been a warrior for the soul of this nation. We are a better nation for his leadership."

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Burbank, who is running for U.S. Senate against former LA Dodgers player Steve Garvey, endorsed Harris on Sunday.

"It's time for all of us to unite behind Vice President Harris," Garvey said.

"I am excited to endorse her campaign for President — she has the judgment, experience, leadership, and tenacity to take on and defeat Donald Trump. I worked with her when she was our Attorney General, Senator, and Vice President, and I can't wait to work with her as President. There is no better matchup than this superb former prosecutor against this convicted criminal, and she'll prosecute the case against Trump every single day."

In an earlier statement Garvey said Schiff did not do enough when the congressman called on Biden to drop out of the race.

"Biden should resign immediately for the good of the nation," Garvey said. "Under his leadership, we are facing unprecedented international threats, including the ongoing war in Ukraine, the conflict in Israel, and increasing dangers from Iran. Our country deserves leadership that can effectively address these challenges and restore stability at home and abroad. Schiff not demanding his resignation imperils Americans at home and abroad every day."

Rep. Mike Levin, D-Dana Point, called Biden's decision "incredibly patriotic and the right thing to do. He put country first. I want to thank President Biden for his decades of public service to our country and his historic presidency. He has led our country with unwavering courage, conviction and strength. Our nation,

Biden

and the entire free world, is better off because of his leadership."

Levin endorsed Harris, saying she is "the right person to lead our nation forward and defeat Donald Trump and his extremist policies."

Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Long Beach and the city's former mayor, said on X, "It's been an honor to support (Biden and Harris) from day one. Now we must unite around our vice president and defeat Donald Trump. I'm all in. Are you? Let's go!"

Garcia called Biden "the most accomplished president of our lifetime."

Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson thanked Biden for his service and policies.

"Your administration has been a tremendous partner with us here in Long Beach as we create more opportunities for working families," Richardson said. "Our economy, our infrastructure and our country are stronger thanks to your leadership."

Rep. Katie Porter, D-Irvine, said, "I hope we will have a process that energizes the electorate to set us up for victory in November. I look forward to Vice President Harris making her case to voters and I will support our nominee however I can so we keep the White House."

damage Kamala Harris has done to our state and our nation: out-of-control inflation, rampant crime and a border crisis. She has failed up her entire career and has no place failing up to the highest office in the land."

California Republican Party Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson also criticized Harris' record on issues affecting the state.

"Going forward, Democrats will have to grapple with two questions: If Joe Biden is unfit to serve four more years, is he fit to serve the remainder of his term? And is disastrous California Democrat Kamala Harris, who enabled a clearly declining Biden during his time as president, really the best backup option?" Millan Patterson said in a statement.

Rep. Michelle Steel, R-Cypress, said Biden's exit from the election "changes nothing when it comes to the mess he and Kamala Harris have created for Southern California families — a wide open southern border, higher taxes and record cost-ofliving increases."

"The Biden-Harris Administration will be enshrined in the history books as one of the most progressive and accomplished administrations in history," KamlagerDove said.

The Republican Party of Orange County chided Biden's endorsement of Harris.

"Democrats will be in chaos for the next four weeks until their convention begins in Chicago — with no nominee. Their kingmakers will decide the candidate, not the voters. The irony is thick coming from the party constantly warning about threats to democracy," the party said in a statement.

"Joe Biden has endorsed Kamala Harris. The truth is there is no daylight between Biden and Harris," the statement continued. "As Vice President, she is just as responsible for the failed administration and the policies that have crushed Americans as Joe is. ... As Californians we know the

and California's senior U.S. senator, wrote, "Today, President Biden put our country first, as he has done throughout his public service career."

Gov. Gavin Newsom said Biden "has been an extraordinary, history-making president — a leader who has fought hard for working people and delivered astonishing results for all Americans. He will go down in history as one of the most impactful and selfless presidents."

The Los Angeles County Republican Party rebuked Newsom's comments, saying, "You praised him after the debate. We knew Biden was unfit for years, yet you and the media lied and smeared anyone that told the truth. Nobody should trust anything you (Newsom) say."

"President Biden tasked her with solving the border crisis, and in turn, she made our country less safe, allowing millions more to flood into our country illegally. As California's top cop, she allowed criminals to thrive, including refusing to stop Prop. 47 that still wreaks havoc on our state today," Millan Patterson continued. "Just as she failed on behalf of the Golden State, something Californians remember all too well, Harris owns the failed Biden-Harris agenda that led to rising prices, a weakened global standing, failing schools and surging crime.

"Republicans are united behind President Trump and will be ready for whoever the Democrats decide is their best bad option to support."

The Los Angeles County Democratic Party praised Biden for his "incredible leadership and steadfast moral character," which it said "laid the foundation for returning manufacturing jobs to our country."

The party statement added that "his presidency was the steady hand we needed to prepare our country for a prosperous future and a better tomorrow for working people in America."

Alex Padilla, a Democrat

The party added in another post, "It doesn't matter who the nominee is when it's still the same destructive policy platform."

Trump also weighed in on the withdrawal of Biden, who defeated him in 2020.

"Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve - And never was!" Trump posted on Truth Social. "He only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement. All those around him, including his Doctor and the Media, knew that he wasn't capable of being President, and he wasn't — And now, look what he's done to our Country, with millions of people coming across our Border, totally unchecked and unvetted, many from prisons, mental institutions, and record numbers of terrorists. We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

The Democratic Party may experience an internal divide between Harris supporters and those in favor of an open competition for the presidential nomination in advance of the Democratic National Convention, scheduled for Aug. 19-22 in Chicago. City News Service contributed to this report.

Data released Monday showed a combined bus and rail total of some 18.7 million boardings on weekdays last month, bringing ridership to 82.1 percent of its prepandemic levels, the agency said.

Meanwhile,weekend numbers were up 32.2% over weekend ridership in June 2023, with combined bus and rail boardings reaching 97.7% of June 2019, pre-pandemic levels.

Saturdayboardings on bus and rail combined reached 94.6% of June 2019 levels, while Sunday average combined boardings exceeded pre-pandemic levels -achieving 101.6 percent of June 2019 levels.

Metro officials attributed the weekend increases to the start of summer, with more people taking buses or trains to weekend concerts, parades, festivals and sporting events.

The LA Pride in the Park Concert on June 8 provided a particularly bustling day at the Chinatown Station, which saw a 197 percent ridership increase compared to recent Saturdays, the agency said.

The following day, the Hollywood/Vine Station saw a 188 percent ridership increase, while the Hollywood/Highland Station had 73 percent ridership increase as riders headed to the LA Pride Parade and Block Party.

On Sunday, June 23, Metro's K Line saw a 10 percent increase in ridership as riders headed to CicLAvia South LA ,delivering a 5 percent ridership increase on the entire Metro system for that day.

There were about 19.5 million rides taken on Metro's bus system in June, a 4.6% year-over-year ridership increase. Weekday bus ridership stood at 14.7 million trips taken.

Overall rail boardings in June stood at 5.6 million, with more than 4 million trips taken on weekdays, a 79% increase over June 2019 ridership.

The increases come as Metro continues efforts to bolster public safety on the system amid a recent spike in violent crimes.

"Metro's law enforcement partners have expanded their visible presence on the rail system, and more Metro Transit Security (MTS) officers have been added to enforce Metro's Customer Code of Conduct rules on both the bus and rail system," an agency statement said.

"As part of the MTS surge, Metro Transit Security Bus Safety Teams (BSTs) performedend-of-line operations during late-night `Owl' service on some of the busiest bus lines. Metro Ambassadors are also out in force on Metro's six rail lines and five of the busiest bus lines, to provide support to customers and keep a watchful eye out for problems."
