Michael dives into the charm and history of LA's architecture, talks with Kathryn Burger about Measure G and Olympic plans, and covers the latest on a measles scare at LAX, the Dodgers' and Galaxy's big wins, and a $197M lotto ticket still up for grabs.

Results on the sales tax measure to fund transportation projects show a divide between urban and suburban voters. Then, a new program by the North County LGBTQ Resource Center wants to remove barriers from accessing abortion care. Plus, officials say the illegal flow of U.S. guns into Mexico is arming the cartels.

While most political junkies have their eyes on DC in the wake of Donald Trump's successful bid to return to the White House, we're looking south, where Los Angeles voters delivered a seismic shift to the region's politics, passing Measure G, which expands the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors from five members to nine, and Charter Amendment DD, which creates an independent redistricting commission for the city. Support for reform measures exploded after the 2022 release of "The Tape," a secret recording of council members Nury Martinez, Gil Cedillo and Kevin de Leon and LA County Labor Fed President Ron Herrera making racist and derisive comments about their colleagues and constituents, and planning a gerrymander of Nithya Raman's district in order to oust her. Two years after the release of the tape, de Leon was the only one of the four still in place, and on November 5, District 14 voters handed the former state senator his walking papers in favor of DSA candidate Ysabel Jurado, giving the Democratic Socialists a four seat bloc on the city council. We asked political consultant and California Target Book co-editor Robb Korinke to walk us through what just happened and what it all means.Plus: Who Had the Worst Week in California Politics?2:01 Measure G4:37 County Executive5:52 What will the new districts look like?9:30 Charter Amendment DD11:48 KDL15:38 Nithya Raman16:15 Adrin Nazarian17:02 George Gascon19:20 Turnout23:00 Incumbency25:24 #WWCAWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

The post-election special featured a pair of Streetsblog editors, Joe Linton of Streetsblog L.A. and Melanie Curry of Streetsblog California, joining Damien Newton and Chris Greenspon. Most of the talking was done by Curry, Linton and Newton, and the trio kicked off the discussion by outlining the impact of the Trump administration on federal transportation funding, particularly high-speed rail and public transportation. In a new administration, California will face challenges securing federal funding. In LA County, some important county measures including the “climate bond,” Measure A for maintaining the county's homeless services and Measure G which will expand the Board of Supervisors and create a county executive position.  In LA City, progressive Isabel Jurado won over Kevin de Leon, potentially improving transportation and livability. Local elections in the San Gabriel Valley saw Sasha Renée Pérez elected to the State Senate and Nan Wong to the Alhambra City Council. Find yourself wanting more SGV Connect?

6 days left before election day and voters in LA County will decide on a measure that will probably have more direct impact on their lives than who wins the presidency. Measure G will transform how the county is governed. We heard a couple of weeks ago from one county supervisor who supports the measure. Now, we hear from another county supervisor who says it's a bad idea.

With many mail-in ballots already in voters hands, it's time for the SGV Connect election special. This week we talk with a pair of experts about two ballot measures that L.A. County voters will decide this fall. First, Damien interviews Supervisor Hilda Solis about Measure G. Measure G was put on the ballot with the support of three of the five Supervisors and would change the way L.A. County's elected government works. The measure would expand the Board from five to nine members, create new reforms designed to increase transparency for L.A. County departments, and create a county-wide elected position that would serve as the CEO for the County. The reforms to how the Supervisors are elected wouldn't take place until after the next census, so even if it passes dont expext too many changes to happen too soon. After that, Chris interviews Shawn Morrissey of Union Station Housing. Shawn has appeared twice before on the podcast giving overviews on the county-wide politics around homelessness. Today he's explaining and promoting Measure A. In 2017, voters approved a 1/4 cent sales tax to fund homeless services that will expire in 2027. Measure A would erase that sunset and increase the sales tax to 1/2 a cent. Both ballot measures need a simple majority to pass. SGV Connect will be back after the election to review what voters decided locally, regionally and across the state.

The official title for Measure G is “LOS ANGELES COUNTY GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE, ETHICS AND ACCOUNTABILITY CHARTER AMENDMENT.”That sure makes it sound dry, boring and wonky. It is anything but. It is about power. Incredible power. Who will wield it? And who will they represent?We discuss Measure G on this episode of WNLA with County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, author of the proposal, and Supervisor Holly Mitchell, who opposes it.More Info:Unpacking the impact of Los Angeles County's ballot measuresWhy proposal to expand the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is such a big dealMeasure to expand the LA County Board of Supervisors heads to the ballot.

Scott Kaplan is a very familiar voice and face in Southern California as a sports talk host at both ESPN Los Angeles and The Mightier 1090 ESPN Radio in San Diego. Scott returns to the program for a couple of segments. Here he breaks down the A to Z of how Measure G passed (the notable win for both San Diego State and the city of San Diego is the new Snapdragon Stadium where Aztecs Football calls home), and how the university is at the doorstep of making the jump from the Mountain West to either the Pac-12 or the Big 12. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hometown Radio 10/16/20 5p: Brett Cross argues against Measure G in SLO

Pastor Amy Kienzle sat down with St. John's Member Jim Keddy who runs an organization, Youth Forward, that empowers young people to use their voice for change in California. They seek investment in neighborhoods where youth have less access to resources and programs. They invest in young people for the sake of building stronger communities and families in our own city. Pastor Amy spoke with Jim in March just after ballot measure G failed to pass. It called for budget money to be set aside specifically for youth programs. Though Jim expressed some disappointment, he also expressed determination to influence the city to making funding youth a priority. Pastor Amy and Jim talked about why he believes working for youth and families is faithful work.

Almost a year ago, San Diego voters approved Measure G, allowing for the sale of the former Qualcomm stadium site to San Diego State University. Plans for an expanded campus are underway, but the sale of the land to the university hasn't been completed yet. The City and the University have several disagreements on the site, something that could delay the project.

On the heels of an election where ads included all kinds of accusations and a commercial of one male representative in high heels, Paul and Craig talk about the possibility of walking out politics with civility so we can get to solutions. The battle over Measure P, in which former adversaries of Measure G came together, is an example of a divisive issue where community leaders perhaps made choices against the good of the community, rather than looking for a solution. To read more about that, check out this article in Fresno Bee. In this era of Trumpian politics, can there be civil discussion around the issues of our day?

Michael Smolens discusses the reason Measure G won. The shock of how little support Measure E (SoccerCity) received. The historical election of two city council incumbents losing. The changing face of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. And the impact of approval of the Full Voter Participation Act (Measure D)

As a response to the comments and messages and conversations that I had from Episode 1 on Measure G, I wanted to do a second one. I cover my background in the oil and gas industry, and then briefly go over different types of well stimulations and how wells are finished and how to frack a well without the environmental detriments.

We catch up with Jack McGrory and Landon Donovan for a quick chat about the redevelopment of the SDCCU Stadium site in San Diego's Mission Valley. Landon Donovan is a household name in American soccer, and together with his partners have developed a project called SoccerCity that aims to bring Major League Soccer to San Diego. In a few weeks, voters will decide between SoccerCity, which will appear as Measure E on the ballot, and Measure G which is supported by Jack McGrory and others who have their own ideas for what to do with that same property where SoccerCity would be built. Have a listen!

Quote:  “The devil is always in the details, right?” —Mark Baird   About: If the State of Jefferson ever formed, it’s unlikely Anthony Bourdain would ever travel there for its pizza or burritos. Mark Baird, the “unofficial” leader of the State of Jefferson movement, likes to think they’d be known for their buffalo burgers. Though, he’ll admit, he’s in the minority. Most people behind this movement, he says, would probably prefer beef. Being in the minority is a feeling he’s had for quite some time. Living in Northern California with Baird’s heavy libertarian point-of-view would likely drive most people crazy, and out of the state. But Baird wants to stay. He’d just prefer he was living in a new state, a State of Jefferson. Feeling that he’s had no representation in how Sacramento operates, this semi-retired pilot and former buffalo rancher has spent the past several years convincing thousands of citizens along with cities, counties and mayors to join his grass-roots movement. In Part II of II of this story, we ask how Baird plans to form this new state and look into the financials, legality and likelihood of whether the State of Jefferson can ever live up to being more than just a state of mind.

In this episode we shout out all our listeners not from Salinas. We hope you are enjoying the show and hopefully you are learning something about our city. We also talk about the release of Lagunitas Waldo once-a-year release with an interesting story behind it. We also talk about one city councilmembers unfortunate encounter with a neighbor and ask questions of and about the meaningless Measure G committee. Finally we ponder the impact of Salinas dropping from MST and forming its own city bus service. Could it work and would it improve public transit in Salinas. Yeah, it's one of those episodes. Enjoy.
