Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.
  • A 30-year-old-woman and her 5-year-old child were found dead this morning in Garvanza in what appears to be a murder-suicide.
  • Two people flying in an experimental single-engine jet registered to an Encino owner were killed in an accident today in Santa Clarita.
  • The brush fire in Castaic is now reported as fully contained; it burned a total of 55 acres.
  • The Governor announced plans to hold an auction in Sacramento next month to sell off excess state-owned vehicles that were being unused or used by state employees in hopes of raising $24.1 million to go towards our state budget deficit.
  • An inmate who was found unconscious in his cell at the state prison in Lancaster died at an Antelope Valley hospital today.
  • Got Crocs? Despite our climate conducive to wearing the lightweight shoes year-round, Californians and all Americans didn't buy enough, and so their company is facing bankruptcy.
