A beloved Mexican fast food chain shuttered four dozen locations in California because of the “rising cost of doing business” in the state — just two months after Gov. Gavin Newsom imposed a $20 minimum wage. Rubio's Coastal Grill, known for its fish tacos, closed 48 underperforming stores in the Golden State as of May 31, while keeping 86 stores in California, Arizona and Nevada open, the privately-owned chain said in a statement. “The closings were brought about by the rising cost of doing business in California,” a spokesperson for the restaurant chain told The Post on Tuesday. “Making the decision to close a store is never an easy one. While painful, the store closures are a necessary step in our strategic long-term plan to position Rubio's for success for years to come.” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/darien-dunstan3/message

While the Golden State struggles with the aftershock of its elevated fast-food minimum wage – California-based Rubio's Coastal Grill, home of the fish taco, is filing for bankruptcy – and the legislature has to deal with the approaching deadline for a new state budget, which invites fiscal and policy skullduggery. Hoover senior fellow Lee Ohanian and distinguished policy fellow Bill Whalen, both weekly contributors to Hoover's California on Your Mind web channel, discuss the latest news in the Golden State including a nascent 2026 governor's race (will vice president Kamala Harris “pull a Nixon” and give it a go?), plus a fond remembrance of the late Bill Walton – native San Diegan, UCLA basketball legend, citizen activist – who passed away just days after his beloved Pac-12 Conference likewise bid farewell.

A Fresno restaurant owner says a Fresno city councilman illegally interfered with a business project. Now, he wants Miguel Arias and City Hall to pay. David Fansler, in a lawsuit filed last week, says Arias tried to extort him to drop ongoing litigation by holding up a hotel project. Fansler purchased land near his Pismo's Coastal Grill in north Fresno — with the intention to lease to a yet-unnamed company to build a high-end hotel. The 21-year-old arrested in connection with the leaked documents probe has been charged with unauthorized retention and transmission of national defense information and willful retention of classified documents, which collectively carry a maximum of 15 years in prison. Media reports have described the U.S. intelligence documents -- which seem to contain top-secret information about the Ukraine war and other parts of the world -- as being shared among a small group of users on Discord before getting wider notice. - Listeners Comment See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
