California gubernatorial candidates address a ordability in heated debate

By City News Service

In a 90-minute debate at Pomona College Tuesday evening, eight gubernatorial candidates shared their plans to address affordability and how they'll support residents to attain the "California Dream."

Former Fox News Channel host Steve Hilton opened the debate by making a commitment to make the state "Califordable," with a proposal to decrease utility bills and making it easier to purchase homes.

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, the other Republican on the debate stage, added Democratic Party policies were "destroying California," and blaming them for the housing and homelessness crisis, as well as the rising cost of living.

The Democratic candidates said affordability issues have been exacerbated by President Donald Trump and his policies, specifically citing the war with Iran and cuts to federal health care tax credits.

San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan said he would sign legislation to temporarily suspend the state's gas tax in response to prices having risen to their highest amounts since 2023 due to

Former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra defended the gas tax, adding that if it were rescinded it would impact the state's spending on road repairs, which the tax funds. He noted he would focus on building homes and lowering drug prices.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond explained his plans for supporting homeownership, which he described as "the American Dream." He proposed the creation of

down-payment assistance grants to help new homeowners, and the building of 2 million housing units on surplus property on school district-owned properties.

Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa also supported such a program, offering a $25 billion plan.

Billionaire investor Tom Steyer and former Rep. Katie Porter backed efforts to streamline permits and creating more housing in order to address the state's

housing crisis.

On health care, Becerra criticized President Donald Trump for signing the "One Big Beautiful Bill" which reduced tax credits for health insurance coverage.

"Had Trump allowed the premium tax credits under the Affordable Care Act to continue forward, millions of Californians would be able to afford their health care insurance," Becerra said.

SoCal man charged with attempting to kill Trump, officials

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

A31-year-old Torrance man who allegedlyshota Secret Service agent at a hotel in the nation's capital where President Donald Trump was about to address the White HouseCorrespondents' Dinner was charged Monday with attempting to assassinate the president and other federal counts.

Cole Tomas Allen — who is also a Caltech graduate and former intern at Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena — was also accused of transportation of a firearm and ammunition through interstate commerce to commit

a felony and discharging a firearm during a violent crime.

The assassination charge alone could result in a sentence of life in prison, officials said.

Allen made his first court appearance Monday in Washington, D.C. He is due back in court for a bail hearing Thursday, and at a preliminary hearing tentatively set for May 11 a judge determines if the amount of evidence warrants a trial.

Federal officials said Allen allegedly sent family members in Southern California a manifesto railing

By Staff

Ateen, two men and a woman were killed in two recent shooting incidents in Baldwin Park, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department reported.

The three adults died Friday following reports of gunfire at about 5 a.m. in the 3200 block of Millbury Avenue, near Bresse Avenue, sheriff's officials said.

One man and the woman were pronounced dead at the scene. The second man was transported to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead as well, according the LASD.

On April 18, a 15-year-old boy was shot to death in the 12900 block of Bess Avenue, near Interstate 10 and the San Gabriel (605) River Freeway, authorities said.

The LA County Medical Examiner Department identified him Tuesday as Omar Flores of Ontario. He was pronounced dead at the scene after being shot about 5:10 a.m. Saturday.

Two Baldwin Park men, ages 20 and 21, were critically injured in the shooting.

According to published reports, the sheriff's department confirmed that two of the victims were an 80-yearold man and 56-year-old woman, both Asian and husband and wife.

"We're hearing rumors that our unidentified male may be our suspect, but we still obviously need to canvass the neighborhood to look for video and continue ourinvestigation to confirm that fact," DeJong said, adding that there were no prior reports

Brush fire in Brea's Carbon Canyon at 84% containment

No motive or suspect information was available.

Anyone with information about the killings was urged to call the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau,323-890-5500. Anonymous tipsters may call Crime Stoppers, 800-2228477, or go to lacrimestoppers.org.

Firefightersworked throughthenight and into Monday to locate and put out hot spots as they continued to extend a containment line around a 200-acre brush fire in Brea's Carbon Canyon.

"With the continued hard work of firefighters, containment of the Carbon Fire has now increased to 84%," according to a statement issued Monday morning by the Orange County Fire Authority. "We're also pleased to share that Carbon Canyon Road is now open. The road had been closed in both directions from Brea Hills Avenue to Ruby Street."

The fire was reported about 1:35 p.m. Saturday in the area of Carbon Canyon Road and Olinda Place, near Carbon Canyon Regional Park, according to the OCFA. The fire prompted warnings that residents of Olinda Village and Hollydale Mobile Home Estates should prepare to evacuate, and later evacuation

warnings were given for El Rodeo Stables and Brea Hills.

Firefighters attacked the fire from the air and ground, officials said.

The OCFA reported just after 6 p.m. Saturday that the fire had grown to 200 acres and that it was difficult for air and ground crews to access

in some areas due to steep, narrow terrain.

Forward progress was stopped at 1:47 a.m. Sunday with about 210 acres burned.

Evacuation warnings were lifted Sunday and the Care and Reception Center that opened at the Chino Hills Community Center was closed.

No injuries or structure damage have been reported from the fire.

The work will be an extended mop-up operation to make sure all hot spots are out and the fire won't reignite when winds pick up in the area, an OCFA spokesman said.

The hidden cost of the American Dream: Why homeownership in 2026 feels broken

By Brendan Crowe for Hometap via Stacker

If you ask most Americans what the "American Dream" looks like, homeownership still sits at its center. But the excitement of closing on a home and getting the keys increasingly gives way to a more complicated reality — one defined by rising costs, financial stress, and a system that many homeowners feel unprepared to navigate.

A survey of 1,000 homeowners conducted by Hometap found that 3 in 4 respondents (75.6%) still believe homeownership is part of the American Dream. Yet more than half (54.5%) also describe themselves as moderately to extremely financially stressed. More than 60% say they're spending a greater share of their income on housing than ever before, and nearly 80% believe their costs are rising faster than their income. They're right.

Across the board, the cost of owning a home has grown far beyond what most people expected — or were prepared for. And it’s not just about monthly mortgage payments. Insurance, property taxes, utilities, maintenance, and renovation costs have all surged. Though homeowners are holding a record amount of equity, most aren't positioned to use that equity strategically. And as this article from Hometap reveals, far too many are stuck in a cycle of “just trying to keep up.”

A Dream Without a Manual

The reality is, most homeowners don’t know exactly

MARKETING

what they’re signing up for. And how would they?

For many first-time buyers — particularly those who are becoming the first homeowners in their families — the transition from renting to owning comes with a steep and largely invisible learning curve. There's no standardized guidance for what homeownership actually costs or requires once the paperwork is signed.

Homeowners are often left to figure out the difference between homeowners insurance and a home warranty, how to budget for unexpected repairs, or how to contest a property tax assessment. That knowledge gap compounds the financial stress homeowners already feel. And unlike renters, they have no landlord to call if the furnace breaks down.

What's Driving the Pressure

Several factors beyond inflation alone are widening the gap between what homes cost and what households can afford.

Stagnant wage growth relative to home prices

In 1970, the typical singlefamily home cost roughly 3.9 times the median household income. That ratio has nearly doubled, reaching 7.3 today.

A chronic housing shortage. The U.S. faces a documented deficit of 4.7 million housing units. With millennials entering peak homebuying years and older homeowners staying put, inventory has remained persistently tight — keeping prices elevated.

Surging "hidden" costs.

Home insurance premiums rose an average of 21% in 2023, partly due to increased climate-related risk, and an additional 11% in 2024. In high-risk states, some insurers have exited the market entirely — between 2020 and 2023, 14 insurers in South Carolina ran out of funds, driving further premium increases for remaining policyholders. Property taxes compounded the pressure, rising 6.9% in 2023 — double the rate of inflation that year. Nonmortgage costs, such as insurance, property taxes, and utilities, have risen 35% since 2019.

Limited tax relief. A 2025 increase to the SALT deduction cap offers some relief for middle-income homeowners in high-tax states, but it doesn’t address the underlying drivers of rising ownership costs.

More expensive homes. Home prices have surged 60% from 2019 to early 2025, pricing out a growing share of would-be buyers before they ever reach the closing table — and making it a stretch for many others.

Equity Is There — But

carriers, bundling policies, or strategically investing in home improvements — retrofits like storm shutters, updated roofing, or fire-resistant landscaping that reduce risk profiles and, in some states, qualify homeowners for premium discounts.

Out of Reach

Despite the financial squeeze, homeowners are sitting on substantial equity. The challenge for many is accessing and using it strategically. The Hometap survey found that even though home values have appreciated, most households don't feel positioned to use that equity meaningfully, leaving them in a cycle of managing costs rather than building longterm financial stability.

What Homeowners Can Do — and What Policymakers Are Trying Navigating the modern cost of homeownership is harder without the right resources, but both individuals and governments have started to develop tools to help.

For homeowners facing rising property tax bills, many counties offer formal appeal processes. Hiring a property tax consultant or filing an independent appraisal challenge can result in meaningful savings, particularly in markets where assessed values lag behind real market changes. Similarly, insurance costs can sometimes be reduced by comparing

On the budgeting front, HUD funds a nationwide network of approved housing counseling agencies that provide free or low-cost guidance on budgeting, mortgage assistance, and home maintenance planning.

The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau's "Owning a Home" tools help homeowners understand their loan terms, compare interest rates, and explore refinancing options.

At the policy level, some cities and states have experimented with approaches aimed at improving affordability. Minneapolis approved its 2040 Comprehensive Plan in 2018, eliminating singlefamily-only zoning citywide and allowing duplexes and triplexes on any residential lot. The broader package of reforms, which also included eliminating parking minimums and upzoning along transit corridors, has been credited with helping keep rent growth flat in a period when national rents rose 22%.

U.S. federal efforts have focused primarily on the supply side. Bipartisan proposals to streamline permitting processes and incentivize accessory dwelling unit (ADU) construction have gained traction in Congress, though

no comprehensive housing package has cleared both chambers. In the near term, housing advocates broadly agree: Without an ongoing increase in home supply, the affordability gap is unlikely to close on its own.

Homeownership's Resilient Appeal

Despite the strain, the Hometap survey data reveals that homeowners are still attached to homeownership. More than three-quarters of respondents (76%) said they still believe owning a home has value, and more than half (56.5%) said they feel proud to be a homeowner — even amid the financial stress.

That connection reflects how deeply homeownership is woven into Americans' financial and personal aspirations. Sustaining it at scale, researchers and housing advocates argue, will require more than individual resilience — it will require systems, tools, and policies that support homeowners not just at the time of purchase, but across their full journey.

Methodology: Hometap surveyed 1,000 homeowners in the U.S. ages 18 and over through AYTM (Ask Your Target Market) in June 2025. The survey examined sources of financial stress, perceptions of income relative to homeownership costs, and behavioral trade-offs respondents made in response to rising expenses.

Aballotinitiative callingfornew voter identification and citizenship verification requirements qualified for the November ballot, state officials said Friday.

The proposed constitutional amendment would require voters to present government-issued identification such as a driver's license at the polls or the last four digits of a social security number when voting by mail, according to Secretary of State Shirley Weber. The ballot measure would also compel the state to provide voter ID cards on request and require county elections officials to annually report the percentage of voters whose citizenship they have verified.

A measure can become eligible via random sampling of petition signatures if the sampling projects that the number of valid signatures is greater than 110% of the required number. The voter ID initiative needed at least 962,106 projected valid signatures to become eligible by random sampling, and it has exceeded that threshold, Weber reported. In order to become eligible

Voter ID ballot measure qualifies for November election

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

for the ballot, the initiative needed 874,641 valid signatures, which equals 8% of the votes cast in the 2022 election for governor.

The initiative will appear on the Nov. 3 ballot.

Proponents include state Assemblyman Carl DeMaio, R-San Diego, state Sen. Tony Strickland, R-Huntington Beach, and Donald J. DiCostanzo, a business owner.

"The California Voter ID Initiative is a common-sense and bipartisan way to restore

the trust and confidence all voters should have in our election system," DeMaio said in a statement. "Our measure simply holds government officials accountable to maintain accurate voter lists and verify the identity of individuals casting ballots in our elections."

Strickland said in a statement, "There is a cancer growing in our democracy where too many people have lost confidence in our elections — and enacting a Voter

ID law should be seen as the best bipartisan solution to this problem."

Voting rights advocates have opposed the measure because it may complicate the voting process, making it more difficult for some state residents to participate in elections and possibly reducing overall voter turnout.

"Since 2008, states across the country have passed measures to make it harder for Americans — particularly

black people, the elderly, students and people with disabilities — to exercise their fundamental right to cast a ballot," according to the American Civil Liberties Union. "Over 30 states have considered laws that would require voters to present a government-issued photo ID in order to vote. Studies suggest that up to 11% of American citizens lack such an ID and would be required to navigate the administrative burdens to obtain one

or forego the right to vote entirely."

Labor unions have also indicated opposition to the California voter ID measure, which is now set for formal ballot certification June 25 unless supporters withdraw it.

A fiscal analysis by state officials estimated one-time implementation costs in the tens of millions of dollars, with ongoing annual costs potentially reaching into the low hundreds of millions.

A Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll in March reported 44% of voters surveyed were in favor of the measure, with 45% against it and 12% undecided.

Strickland and others who have helped lead the campaign have attributed the initiative’s rapid certification to Julie Luckey, mother of tech billionaire Palmer Luckey who contributed most of the $10 million the initiative's committee has raised throughout this past year.

More information about how an initiative qualifies for the ballot in California is on the secretary of state's website.

Futrell to remain Riverside city manager, cancels move to Pasadena

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

Riverside City Manager

MikeFutrellon

Saturday said he will not leave that position for the same post in Pasadena.

On April 15, officials announced he would leave Riverside to become Pasadena's city manager.

"After thoughtful consideration, I have decided to remain in Riverside and continue serving as your city manager. Riverside is not just where I work — it is our home," Futrell wrote in a letter released Saturday.

The letter, signed by Futrell and his wife

Susan Freeman, cited the Riverside's"significant momentum" in economic development, infrastructure, public safety and housing, including "the continued activation of our downtown neighborhoods."

He noted upcoming public education sessions "about the June 2 vote on the revenue renewal of 'Measure Z' with later work required navigating the outcome of that vote." The city is hosting four public meetings on the measure through May.

"Over the last three years we have put Riverside

on the world stage with the international economic relationships we have built, attracting new businesses and good jobs," Futrell wrote.

"I am staying on to see these efforts through.

"What makes this decision meaningful is our city employees, community partners and residents who are doing extraordinary things every day," he added.

Pasadena officials did not respond to a request for comment.

In a statement to the Pasadena Now website, Mayor Victor Gordo and City

Council members said, "The Council respects his decision and wishes Mike the very best. Interim City Manager Matthew Hawkesworth will continue to serve in his current role as the council determines its next steps to select a new city manager.”

Futrell was scheduled to come to Pasadena from Riverside on May 13. He has served as Riverside's top unelected official since 2023.

The City Council has been searching for a city manager since last year when Miguel Marquez announced

retirement.

to insult Hilton, by saying the president was Hilton's "daddy." In response, Hilton said that was an example of "what's wrong with our politics in California," but did not elaborate.

Mahan agreed with Becerra, calling the reduction of health care tax credits "cruel."

Porter and Steyer backed proposals for a single-payer health care system.

Steyer said he supports a state constitutional amendment repealing the 2% limit to increases in the assessments for commercial properties, unless they are sold, to assess them at market value.

The tax revenue from the change would help pay for single-payer health care, Steyer said.

In response to a question about cutting California's highest-in-the-nation gas prices, Steyer repeated his proposal to import all the oil that is refined to gasoline for California.

Hilton stated he would support more oil drilling, and would take a more sensible approach about the transition to electric and green energy.

When asked about the deadly wildfires that have devastated California in recent years, and how they would prepare for natural disasters,

The limit was part of Proposition 13, the property tax cutting measure approved by voters in 1978.

Becerra said he would focus on prevention, deploy state personnel and resources to help families harmed by disasters.

Becerra also made a commitment to temporarily freeze insurance rates for homeowners — a plan quickly criticized by other candidates, who argued the plan was unconstitutional.

Bianco blamed the fires on Democratic policies and failures to address overgrowth.

Mahan said Becerra's plan won't work, adding it's "the reason we're in this mess in the first place." Mahan said he would bring insurers back and force them to compete, which would result in lower prices.

Hilton agreed with Mahan, adding that it's important to enforce the law, and ensure that rate changes are approved faster.

Several candidates supported preventative measures such as home hardening and more controlled burns.

Former California State Controller Betty Yee, who had been considered a favorite among some Democratic Party insiders, dropped out of the race last week, citing lagging poll numbers and limited time before the primary.

A day after ending her campaign, Yee announced she was endorsing Steyer.

"I support you because you have such bold ideas that I know you're going to be able

to deliver," Yee said in a video posted to Steyer's campaign.

She pointed to Steyer's work on environmental issues and civic engagement among young voters.

Yee's departure followed the recent exit of former Rep. Eric Swalwell from the governor's race after sexual assault allegations surfaced.

Organizers of Tuesday's debate said candidates were invited based on ballot status and at least 1% support in both Emerson College and Los Angeles Times/ UC Berkeley polls, with the selection process conducted by the Asian Pacific American Public Affairs Association in partnership with CBS and Pomona College.

"Pomona College is honored to host the most inclusive debate in this year's cycle thus far," Pomona College President G. Gabrielle Starr said in a statement. "Civic engagement and dialogue across differences are necessary for a thriving democracy — and core to the liberal arts tradition here at Pomona College."

The debate aired live on CBS-owned stations in Los Angeles, KCBS and KCAL, the Bay Area, Sacramento and affiliates in San Diego, Bakersfield and Palm Springs.

CBS journalists along with Pomona College politics professor Sara Sadhwani were the debate moderators.

El Monte City Notices

URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 3065

AN INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL MONTE, CALIFORNIA, EXTENDING THE TEMPORARY MORATORIUM BY TEN (10) MONTHS AND FIFTEEN (15) DAYS PROHIBITING PROCESSING, APPROVAL, AND ACCEPTANCE OF NEW DATA CENTER LAND USE APPLICATIONS PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65858

WHEREAS, California Constitution Article XI, Section 7, enables the City of El Monte (the “City”) to enact local planning and land use regulations; and WHEREAS, the authority to adopt and enforce zoning regulations is an exercise of the City’s police power to protect the public health, safety, and welfare; and

WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 65858 authorizes the City Council to adopt an interim urgency ordinance for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, or welfare, and to prohibit a land use that is in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the City Council, Planning Commission, or Economic Development Department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time; and

WHEREAS, on March 18, 2026, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 3063, which instituted a initial forty-five (45) day Moratorium on the acceptance, processing and approval of any application and the issuance of any permit, business license, business occupancy permit, or certificate of occupancy for the purpose of establishing a new Data Center or expanding an existing Data Center (“Moratorium”); and

WHEREAS, Data Centers consist of dedicated concentrated computing hardware within a structure for large scale software systems, traditional computational demands with accompanying cloud storage, and generative artificial intelligence; and WHEREAS, the Moratorium will expire on May 2, 2026 unless ex tended, and

WHEREAS, Government Code Section 65858 authorizes the City Council, after notice pursuant to Government Code Section 65090 and a public hearing, to adopt an ordinance extending the Moratorium for a further 10 months and 15 days; upon approval by four-fifths vote and upon the same findings for the initial 45-day moratorium; and

WHEREAS, on April 6, 2026, a public hearing was duly noticed for consideration of this Urgency Ordinance; and WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to adopt the staff report accompanying this Urgency Ordinance as its written report; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires give the Data Center Ad Hoc Committee and staff of the El Monte Economic Development Department additional time to further to conduct such analysis and to report their findings to both the Planning Commission and City Council within a reasonable time.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL MONTE, CALIFORNIA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOL LOWS:

SECTION 1. Recitals. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. CEQA. Pursuant to the California Environmen tal Quality Act (“CEQA”) (Pub. Res. Code § 21000 et seq.) and CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15000 et seq.), there is no possibility that the adoption of this Urgency Ordinance and con tinuance of a moratorium, hereby, may have a significant effect on the environment, because the moratorium will maintain the current environmental conditions arising from the current land use regula tory structure and is therefore exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).

SECTION 3. Initial Urgency Ordinance. This Urgency Ordi nance shall also include the factual basis, recitals and findings set for in the initial Moratorium; enacted and adopted by the City Council on March 18, 2026 by Urgency Ordinance No. 3063.

SECTION 4. Written Report. The City Council hereby re ceives and file, adopts and issues the written Staff Report along its findings, attachments and presentation, accompanying this Urgency Ordinance, which in addition describes the measures taken to allevi ate the condition which forms the basis for adoption of this Urgency Ordinance.

SECTION 5. Findings. This Urgency Ordinance is adopted as an urgency measure pursuant to Government Code Section 65858 and is for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare. This Urgency Ordinance is deemed necessary based upon the recitals herein and for the following reasons:

A.In light of the above recitals and findings, the City Council finds that the establishment or expansion of Data Centers within the City presents a current and immediate threat to public health, safety and welfare, and the approval of permits, licenses, or any other ap plicable entitlement required by the zoning ordinance would result in that threat to public health, safety, or welfare.

B.Data Center land uses often necessitate unique utility in frastructure connections to electrical, water, and sewage systems; where existing City infrastructure is unable to support such land use nor load intensity of demand.

C.Diesel generators plus heating, ventilation, and air condi tioning (HVAC) systems within Data Centers can create a constant hum that can be audible to neighboring residents and wildlife. Data centers generate noise levels that may exceed 90 decibels. Noise levels above 85 decibels are harmful to hearing.

D.Several communities throughout this state and country have experienced detrimental effects of Data Center land uses, in cluding but not limited to intensive energy and water use, noise, crime and security issues, air quality, water and noise pollution, aesthetic impacts; and other related effects on property values and quality of life to surrounding neighborhoods.

G.Amending the Zoning Ordinance requires study, public hearings, and both Planning Commission and City Council review.

H.This Urgency Ordinance will afford Staff and the Planning Commission a additional time to further study the matter.

I.In light of these findings and all evidence in the record, including, but not limited to the staff report accompanying this Interim Urgency Ordinance, the City Council finds that this moratorium extension is justified in accordance with Government Code section 65858.

SECTION 3. Moratorium.

A.The City Council, based on the above findings and in accordance with Government Code Section 65858, hereby adopts this Urgency Ordinance extending the moratorium on the acceptance, processing and approval of any application for the establishment of a new Data Center, and the issuance of any permit, business license, business occupancy permit, or certificate of occupancy for the purpose of establishing a new Data Center or expanding an existing Data Center.

B.The Moratorium shall be extended an additional 10 months and 15 days from the, May 2, 2026 date (expiration of the initial 45 days) for a new expiration date of March 17, 2027; unless otherwise extended for an additional year or until such earlier time that the City Council amends the City of El Monte Zoning Ordinance to address the concerns described in this Urgency Ordinance.

SECTION 5. Hardship Exemption.

A. The City Council has the authority but no obligation to grant

E.Data Centers are undefined in the City of El Monte Mu nicipal Code (“EMMC”) and present a novel use in the City. The City does not, at present, adequately regulate Data Center land uses, including location, size and scope, and other development standards in its Zoning Ordinance.

F. It is the intent of the City Council to consider zoning regulations that, for example, expressly define a Data Center, and regulate the placement and operational conditions of Data Centers in the City.

Women-owned team behind Milken celebrates 25 years of high-stakes event production

By Staff

For more than 20 years, one of the world’s most influential global conferences has been shaped behind the scenes by a women-owned event production firm. In 2025, tbg Events celebrated its 25th anniversary — including its longstanding role as a production partner for programs affiliated with The Milken Institute.

Founded in 2000 by Tammy Dickerson, CMP, president and chief events officer, tbg Events has grown from a single-client startup into a multi-million-dollar firm serving Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies, alongside leading nonprofit and cultural institutions. Its client roster includes globally recognized brands such as American Airlines, Disney, and The Coca-Cola Company, as well as major sports and philanthropic organizations,

including the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation, Los Angeles Lakers and Sparks, and Magic Johnson Foundation.

Among its most notable clients is The Milken Institute. Preparing for its 29th Annual Global Conference, taking place May 3–6 in Beverly Hills, tbg Events has served as a trusted production partner for more than two decades.

For close to three decades, tbg Events has produced more than 500 events across 100+ cities worldwide, partnering with over 200 clients and engaging nearly 1,000 consultants and event professionals. The company’s work spans global conferences, executive convenings, high-profile galas, and complex, multistakeholder events requiring both strategic oversight and precise execution.

Twenty-five years ago, at a dining room table in Culver City, Dickerson began building something that didn’t yet have a roadmap — just a vision, a laptop, and an unwavering belief in what was possible. Today, that vision

has become tbg Events.

“This journey has always been about people — our clients, our partners, and the extraordinary team who bring each experience to life,” said Dickerson. “Reaching 25 years

reflects the trust our clients place in us and the consistency we’ve maintained over time.”

tbg Events is among a small group of African American, women-owned, female-majority event production companies at this scale. The company remains committed to working with underrepresented vendors and partners, reinforcing its belief that diverse perspectives strengthen outcomes.

This approach has also contributed to long-term team retention, with several senior leaders serving with the company for more than 15 years.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, tbg Events demonstrated adaptability by becoming one of the first event production agencies to expand into virtual production, increasing profitabil-

ity by more than 30% while maintaining continuity for clients during a period of industry-wide disruption.

Headquartered in Los Angeles, tbg Events is strategically positioned as the city prepares to host a series of major global events, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the 2027 Super Bowl, and the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The company is actively exploring opportunities to contribute to these large-scale moments.

In parallel, tbg Events is expanding into curated luxury group travel and wellness retreats designed for high-achieving women 50+, reflecting a broader strategy of intentional, experience-led growth.

Financing cited as primary hurdle to housing growth in LA County

By City News Service

Financing, rather than localopposition,is the primary barrier to building affordable housing at scale, the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency said last week, citing overwhelming demand in its first round of project funding.

The agency reported that 127 applications were submitted seeking a combined $1.5 billion to build 11,625 housing units -- more than double initial projections and exceeding recent levels of affordable housing production in the region.

"These results challenge a long-standing assumption about what's holding back affordable housing in Los Angeles County," Rex Richardson, mayor of Long Beach and chair of the agency's board, said in a statement. "The challenge isn't a lack of sites, developers, or community will. The challenge is financ-

ing and operational support."

Following an initial review, 79 applications requesting $954 million advanced for further evaluation, officials said. The agency has authorized up to $250 million for the inaugural funding round, including $100 million already awarded to 10 projects, with additional funding decisions expected in May.

"This first round of funding from the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency is not just about building housing -- it's about preserving and strengthening the communities our residents call home," county Supervisor Holly Mitchell said.

"By removing barriers to development and investing in long-term stability, we are meeting the urgent demand for new housing while taking a critical step toward creating affordable commu-

nities where residents are not forced out by rising costs, and where the culture and character of our neighborhoods are protected and able to thrive."

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said most of the initial awards are located within the city.

"We're turning the tide on decades of rising homelessness in LA and cutting through red tape to accelerate affordable housing construction like never before," Bass said.

"I look forward to continuing to partner with LACAHSA as we work to make safe, stable, and affordable housing a reality for every Angeleno."

Officials said the agency's approach is designed to streamline development by offering a "one-stop" financing model, reducing the need for developers to assemble multiple funding sources. The model has shown projected cost savings of about 11.5% compared with traditional

financing methods, according to the agency.

In addition to supporting new construction, the program includes funding for

officials said.

Granada Hills Charter High School wins national academic decathlon

By City News Service

Granada Hills Charter HighSchoolwon the2026United States Academic Decathlon, extending California's remarkable streak to 23 consecutive national titles, officials announced Saturday.

The 2026 USAD was held April 23-25 in Garden Grove, with a theme of The Roaring Twenties.

Granada Hills' ninemember team was led by second-year returners Tale Chen and Christopher Gonzalez, and included first-year members Saadan Atif, Serena Chon, Benjamin Cruz, Emmanuel Dominguez, Santiago Garcia-Uriarte, Francesca Molina, and Mia Salinas. Head Coach Tyler Lee and Assistant Coaches Bennett Cohen and Raji Toleco led the young scholars.

"The first time you join a team like this, you don't know just how intimidating it can

be. We were on campus all of winter break. When you truly give something your all — I mean, I can't believe I'm a national champion!" Cruz said.

Granada Hills placed first overall to win its 10th national title, with 42 individual medals and accomplishments spanning divisions throughout the competition, including Gonzalez, first place, varsity; Dominguez, second place, varsity; Garcia-Uriarte, second place, scholastic; and Chon, second place, honors.

"Our students showed tremendous determination and progress all year long. We are extremely proud of them, and our coaches," GHC CEO/ Superintendent Brian Bauer said.

The Academic Decathlon involves 10 events revolving around a central topic in seven subject areas: science, literature, art, music, social science,

economics and mathematics. Specific topics this year included Art/Music/Literature of the Jazz Age, Introduction to Electricity and Magnetism, and the U.S. Economy in 1920.

The competition included multiple-choice exams in each subject, as well as essays and speeches. It culminates with a fast-paced Super Quiz relay.

Granada Hills won the 2026 California Academic Decathlon in March. Either GHC or El Camino Real Charter High School has won every national competition since 2009, when Moorpark High School in Ventura County won.

No competition was held in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The last time a school from outside California won the national championship was in 2002, when Waukesha West High School, in Wisconsin, took the crown.

Around town: Congratulations to Hey SoCal’s Raquel McLaughlin

Congratulationsto

RaquelCarmella McLaughlinof Arcadia, and Michael Erin Jacoby of Brentwood.

Michael proposed to Raquel at her Birthday Party on April 15 in Old Pasadena, in front of all her friends and family. Michael got down on his knee and later began serenading with Neil Diamond songs. It was a total surprise and Raquel was in complete shock.

They met at Willie's

By Staff

Vintage Treasures Antique Store in Monrovia when Michael was buying vintage Beatles albums. Raquel noticed Michael immediately while he checked out the vinyl records collection on the rack, and asked Michael if he was in a famous band. Raquel says she was definitely intrigued.

They spoke on the phone about one week after meeting. They were both smitten after their first date at Lacy Park in San Marino. Strolling and talking at

the park, they felt a deep connection. They shared a beautiful kiss at the end of their first date.

They share a passion for nature, the ocean, helping others, vintage collecting, estate sales, live concerts and dogs. Michael sings to Raquel almost daily.

Raquel said, "I have never loved a man like Michael—madly. Thank you God as I always trusted your plan!"

To participate in these Federal programs, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires the City to prepare an Annual Action Plan, which serves as the City’s yearly application for CDBG and HOME formula grant funding. For PY 20262027, the City is receiving approximately $571,332 in CDBG funds and $302,097.03 in HOME funds to support eligible projects and activities.

against the Trump administration moments before opening fire during the Saturday evening event.

The shooting around 5:40 p.m. California time Saturday occurred in a ballroom of the Washington Hilton, the same hotel where President Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981. Video from a hotel surveillance camera showed a man attempting to sprint past the security checkpoint, prompting several officers to draw their guns. The suspect never made it into the main ballroom where the Correspondents' Dinner was being held one floor below, but he shot one Secret Service agent who was saved by a bullet-proof vest, acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche said. Blanche said law enforcement officers fired an estimated five shots at the suspect. The officers' gunfire did not hit the assailant, but he fell to the ground and was arrested.

No one was injured in the alleged attack. U.S. Secret Service agents rushed Trump and first lady Melania Trump out of the hotel and back to the White House. Vice President JD Vance was also rushed out.

Authorities said the suspect was carrying a shotgun, a handgun, at least three knives "and all kinds of paraphernalia."

Citing California and federal database records, prosecutors said Allen purchased a 12-gauge pump action shotgun from a California gun dealer Aug. 17, 2025, and on Oct. 6, 2023, he bought a .38 caliber semi-automatic pistol from another firearms dealer.

A "manifesto," which the FBI said was recovered during a search of his parents' home in Torrance where Allen lives, made his objectives clear — "I am targeting administration officials. They are my targets and I'm prioritizing from the top down."

According to published reports, Allen sent his manifesto to family members minutes before the incident at the Correspondents' Dinner, referring to himself as the "Friendly Federal Assassin" and saying he was trying to kill members of the Trump administration.

Whiteman Airport officials decry lack of funding following crash

By City News Service

Officials at Whiteman Airport in Pacoima cautioned against a rush to judgment Saturday after a plane clipped a highvoltage power line last week, and criticized county officials for allegedly blocking critical safety funding for the airport.

"The Whiteman Airport Coalition is closely following the investigation into this week's crash in Pacoima. Our thoughts remain with the pilot and everyone affected," the Whiteman Airport Coalition said in a statement Saturday.

"A report from KTLA5 news involving air traffic control audio raises questions. But before anyone rushes to conclusions, there are critical facts that need to be part of the conversation. What we know from video, investigators, and eyewitness accounts is that the aircraft struck high-voltage power lines, triggering an immediate and widespread power outage in the surrounding area. That outage introduces additional factors that must be fully understood, including whether it affected communications after the crash. Those questions remain under review.

"We do not yet know what caused the crash, and the full investigation needs to play

out before any conclusions are drawn," airport officials said.

The airport's response comes one day after Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath directed the Department of Public Works "to identify immediate actions within our authority to strengthen safety around Whiteman Airport."

"I remain deeply concerned about the circumstances that led to the downed airplane near Whiteman Airport, and take seriously the county's role in getting answers from our governmental partners entrusted to safely administer operations," Horvath said in a statement Friday, one day after KTLA broadcast audio from the air traffic control tower when a small plane coming in for a landing at Whiteman Airport clipped a high-voltage power line in Pacoima, knocking out electricity in the area and leaving the pilot in critical condition.

"A plane going down in a commercial corridor next to neighborhoods should never happen --and our Pacoima community deserves answers."

The Whiteman Airport Coalition rebutted part of Horvath's statement Saturday.

"We also support (Horvath's) call for answers

and her sense of urgency in this moment. At the same time, context and facts matter. In recent years, Supervisor Horvath directed a freeze on pursuing FAA funded capital improvement projects at Whiteman Airport, even though federal funding has been available for safety, infrastructure, and modernization. The question the community and stakeholders have been asking for years is simple: why?

"These are not abstract investments. They include things like undergrounding utilities, strengthening electrical systems, and upgrading airfield infrastructure, the kinds of improvements that directly affect safety and modernization," the airport's statement continued.

"If there are real concerns about how systems performed here, the response from Supervisor Horvath and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors should be consistent investment to strengthen safety, not only around the airport but at the airport itself, by finally tapping into the millions in available FAA funding for Whiteman.

"Whiteman Airport is a critical public safety asset, supporting emergency and fire response, and a key economic engine for communities

across the San Fernando Valley. This investigation needs to follow the facts, including what role power loss and infrastructure may have played, and it should lead to real investment in keeping this federally obligated airport open and properly maintaining and modernizing a facility that supports more than 125,000 operations each year."

Horvath also called on the Federal Aviation Administration, which manages the air traffic control tower, to "answer for what we are hearing on that audio."

In radio transmissions between another pilot and Whiteman's air traffic control tower played by KTLA, a controller appeared to have no idea the plane had crashed.

"I am calling on the FAA to conduct a full review of air traffic control operations, determine whether there was a failure in communication or response, and outline steps to help prevent this from happening again," said Horvath, whose Third District includes Pacoima.

Some Pacoima residents have been pushing for years for the closure of Whiteman Airport, citing safety concerns and air and noise pollution.

"Calls for reduced hours and safer fuel alternatives are meaningful and within our power," Horvath said. "In June 2024, the county" introduced "unleaded fuel and implemented a nightly curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. — and we must continue evaluating

Pop-up events to accompany Metro D Line station openings

By City News Service

Aseriesofpop-up events, markets and community activities

will accompany the opening of Metro subway stations along the D (Purple) Line extension next week.

According to Metro, the three-month pilot program will bring daily "activations" to stations at Wilshire/La Brea, Wilshire/Fairfax and Wilshire/La Cienega as part of the expansion of the D Line west along Wilshire Boulevard.

Officials said the effort is designed to encourage rider-

ship, support local businesses and create a more welcoming environment at stations scheduled to open May 8. Activities planned at the stations include morning coffee carts, weekly farmers markets, pop-up retail shops and cultural programming, according to Metro. At the Wilshire/La Brea and Wilshire/Fairfax stations, local vendors are expected to operate coffee carts on weekday mornings, while farmers markets are planned weekly at both locations.

Additional programming is expected to include free salsa dance classes, tempo-

rary pickleball courts and pop-up events featuring local businesses, including

what more can be done.

"Yet, there is no indication these steps would have prevented this midday crash, and we must implement every measure possible to protect our communities."

In early 2022, the county Board of Supervisors voted to explore the process involved in seeking a closure of the airport, should the county opt to pursue it. In January of that year, a plane landed on train tracks in the area and was struck by a Metrolink train. In November 2020, a plane crashed in a neighborhood near the runway, killing a Civil Air Patrol pilot.

In April 2022, a pilot died when a Cessna crashed alongside the Foothill (210) Freeway in the Sylmar area.

merchants from the nearby Little Ethiopia district.

Metro officials said similar activation efforts have been tested at other stations in recent years, including community events and night markets.

The second phase of the subway extension, tentatively set to open in spring 2027, will add stations in Beverly Hills and Century City. The third phase, tentatively planned for fall 2027, will add stations at UCLA and the VA hospital.

"Angelenos and visitors

alike will love the extended service from downtown Los Angeles to Beverly Hills, delivering greater access to the iconic and culturally diverse communities, institutions and destinations that define the deep history along Wilshire Boulevard," Metro CEO Stephanie Wiggins said in an earlier statement. "The stations are filled with beautiful artwork, making the journey to one's destination an experience in itself." The overall extension effort is expected to cost nearly $10 billion.
