saw these signs and a very bored volunteer (thank you for your service) at the @YMCALA @AndersonMungerYMCA in Koreatown, love that the Koreatown Y is a voting hub
the nearest sign to the entrance was for @GraceforLA, running to unseat Heather Hutt in CD10

My favorite piece of California legislation this year was revealed to me by Patrick @redford at Defector: defector.com/clippers-fans-a…
A little bit after that @MackenzieMays filled out the picture for the LA Times with more about political contributions: latimes.com/california/story…

Detailed, well researched article about lead battery recycling smelters in California.
As an old Materials Engineer I am appalled at this whole mess.
California's Department of Toxic Substances Control just released the operating permit for Ecobat, the lead-battery recycling facility in City of Industry. As I reported, there's a contentious atmosphere around the plant into which this permit is dropping: publichealthwatch.org/2024/0…

HOWEVER cleaning up lead isn't easy. Initial estimates for cleaning up Exide have matured into quadruple that, after several practical and contracting problems at LA County's OTHER lead smelter. It's more, but it's not clear why $21.8m would be enough.
I'll have a story at @pubhealthwatch soon. This is simply the beginning of a four-month comment period, and a lot more reading of these materials before November 18. More about that too, later. //
