From Al Jazeera:

LA City Hall has been in a panic. Mayor Karen Bass has dismissed LA’s Fire Chief, and the Department of Water and Power is under scrutiny.

Water wars in Los Angeles, same as it ever was. Moneyed interests like Big Agriculture get the water, municipalities get the blame.

“There’s no urban municipal water system that could support that,” said Bobbie Scopa, who spent nearly 45 years as a firefighter. “You’re going to run out of water, no matter what. It’s not that uncommon. It happens when there’s large fires.” While water shortage is certainly a valid concern as California faces historic droughts, it turns out the most pressing issues surrounding the Los Angeles water system may have less to do with lack of water than where it’s ending up, with residents going without as big agriculture and water investors extract or privatise what short supply there is. According to studies by the University of Southern California, just 10 percent of state water goes to residents, while the bulk – 80 percent – is used for irrigating crops.Photo of Owens Lake.

LA’s oil ban is blocked. ⚖️

The judge ruled the state has final say over oil drilling operations.

Activists vow to keep fighting environmental racism.

A new state bill could still save the ban.

For the past couple of days I’ve been saying “He’s so bad he makes me pine for Bobby Jindal.”

But this is a much better line: “Landry is so bad that he makes Bobby Jindal look like Barack Obama.” #USpolitics #LApolitics #Louisiana first-draft.com/2023/10/17/jef

L.A.'s recent string of corruption cases have been greeted with condemnation and calls for reform. But this time around, some are reacting to the conviction of Councilmember Mark Ridley-Thomas by offering tributes, not scorn

Eric Garcetti leaves office Sunday as L.A.'s longest-serving mayor since Tom Bradley decades ago. No more White House or gubernatorial dreams. His political stock is at a low point

FFS please don’t let Caruso become Mayor #LAPolitics #USElection

2022-11-06

Rick Caruso will completely gut LA in a brutal way. He will amplify Garcetti’s playbook tenfold. Anybody in LA in a creative field who is supporting him is doing their part to destroy the very system that made them wealthy. It’s disgusting. #LAPolitics #Election2022 #Election
