Essential California A new type of united government in Sacramento Los Angeles Times
Good morning, merry Christmas Eve, and welcome to the Essential California . Its Monday, Dec. 24, and heres whats happening across California:
TOP STORIES
Single payer healthcare. Universal preschool. Tuition free community college. The California Legislature and the states next governor share a wish list of progressive policies. The big question is: Who takes the lead? After eight years under the fiscal restraint of Gov. Jerry Brown, legislators are ready for a new relationship with the governors office and a more balanced power dynamic in Sacramento. But as eager lawmakers introduce major policies with big price tags, Gov. elect Gavin Newsom has said hes prepared to say no.
George Skelton weighs in: Its an easy A for Brown in his final two terms as governor of California.
And: How Brown fits in among Californias greatest governors.
Banner year in Hollywood
Deepening anxiety in Hollywood that the ascendance of Netflix would keep people from going to the movies this year appears to have been overblown. Major hits including Marvel Studios Black Panther, Universal Pictures Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and 20th Century Foxs Deadpool 2 drove ticket sales in the U.S. and Canada to a record breaking dollar 11.8 billion this year, according to preliminary projections from data firm Comscore. That would represent growth of 6 percent from a year ago and beat the previous record of dollar 11.4 billion in ticket sales set in 2016.
Beautiful night
For the first time since the shooting, the owner of Borderline Bar and Grill hosted a dance for his old customers. Borderlines brown stucco building in Thousand Oaks has been off limits since the shooting Nov. 7. Instead, on Thursday, more than 1,000 people including many survivors and parents of some victims gathered in their cowboy boots eight miles east in Agoura Hills, in a bar called The Canyon. But as the music played and the room filled, many felt the old Borderline warmth.
L.A. STORIES
Taking stock of a tumultuous year: Rocked by scandal, USC must heal its divisions and repair a broken culture.
Steve Lopez on child poverty: Dimitri Dunn was born in prison, to the best of his knowledge. He is 19, and found out a few years ago that he has biological siblings, but no blood relative is a part of his life.
Dodger nation: Columnist Bill Plaschke thinks the Dodgers got the better of their recent blockbuster trade by simply getting rid of Yasiel Puig.
Gulp: How to survive the oh so terrible LAX traffic this holiday season.
POLITICS AND GOVERNMENT
Readying for mudslides: Santa Barbara County approved a measure to install debris retention nets along mountain creeks to prevent deadly mudflows like the ones that hit Montecito in January. Flood control officials defended their preparations before that disaster.
Action needed: The San Diego Union Tribunes Editorial Board says the countys high veteran suicide rate demands an immediate response.
Good question: Californias bullet train project is pumping billions into the Valley economy. So why is it so unpopular?
CRIME AND COURTS
They did what? The city of Inglewood has authorized the shredding of more than 100 police shooting and other internal investigation records weeks before a new state law could allow the public to access them for the first time.
Plus: Inglewoods Mayor James T. Butts Jr. on Sunday defended his citys decision.
More pushback: A police union is asking the California Supreme Court to block the release of internal officer investigations before the new state law takes effect.
Being prepared: Fallout from a scandal over sexual abuse claims has the Boy Scouts of America considering Chapter 11 protection. Chief Scout Executive Michael Surbaugh said the organization is exploring all options available to ensure that scouting programs continue uninterrupted.
THE ENVIRONMENT
Selfie problems: Until recently, an ancient forest near the California Oregon border had never been cataloged by scientists, written about or photographed. Now that the secret is out, the grove is being loved to death by thousands of bushwhacking hikers and explorers. But parks officials and environmental groups have a dollar 3.5 million plan to protect the majestic trees.
Fire fallout: After years of wildfires linked to power lines, a deadly explosion and accusations of falsified safety records, California utility owner PG E Corp. is facing a deterioration of trust among state leaders.
CALIFORNIA CULTURE
Looking back: Fire, floods, caravan and a super blue blood moon the year in pictures.
Heartbreaking: With tears like tinsel, were reminded that without grief, there can be no joy.
Way too much: Uber charged him dollar 236 for a ride he didnt take to a place he didnt want to go.
Kicking it in high gear: Inside an Amazon warehouse in the final days before Christmas.
Yum: A new independently owned delicatessen is coming to a sleepy section of Mid Wilshire. Eleven City Diner LA has all the characteristics of an old school deli and diner, and will serve traditional deli food blocks away from a cluster of corporate owned restaurants.
