• California legislators want to pile on the debt

  30-07-2020 09:05 via ocregister.com
  
  When legislators passed and Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a 2020-21 state budget in June, they described it as “balanced.”
  Not by a long shot.
  As detailed in this space earlier, it included at least $20 billion in direct and indirect, on-the-books and off-the-books borrowing that must, of course, eventually be repaid. More than half of the new debt is in “deferrals” of state aid to local school systems that, by constitutional law, must be restored in future years.

• Kings’ Rob Blake, Luc Robitaille point to ‘progress’ despite another early exit

  07-05-2024 05:41 via ocregister.com
  
  EL SEGUNDO — The Kings’ brain trust addressed the media on Monday, although some of their statements about the disappointing season that just concluded seemed difficult to reconcile with the views of the public and, to some degree, their own players.
  The Kings, a team that in seven campaigns under General Manager Rob Blake and team president Luc Robitaille has won fewer postseason games than all but three of the NHL’s 31 other franchises, endured rather than experienced this pa

• James Outman’s slump could force Dodgers to make difficult decision

  07-05-2024 03:43 via ocregister.com
  
  LOS ANGELES — The clock might be ticking on James Outman.
  The second-year center fielder entered Monday’s game batting .165 with an OPS of just .559. It hasn’t been getting better recently. He was 3 for his past 28 through Sunday with seven strikeouts in his past 12 at-bats.
  With the emergence of Andy Pages, Outman has been out of the lineup more frequently against left-handed starting pitching. Monday, he was dropped to ninth in the batting order.

• Pirates’ grand slam is too much for Angels to overcome

  07-05-2024 02:44 via ocregister.com
  
  PITTSBURGH — Angels pitchers have very little margin for error these days, and certainly not enough to overcome it when one bad inning includes a grand slam.
  Tyler Anderson gave up a third-inning grand slam to Edward Olivares and that was all the Pittsburgh Pirates needed to beat the Angels, 4-1, on Monday night.
  Anderson didn’t give up anything else in 6⅓ innings, which was little consolation on a night when the Angels (12-23) dropped a season-worst 11 games under .500.

• The Teamsters’ campaign against AVs isn’t really about safety

  Car crashes killed more people in Los Angeles than homicides in 2023, with the city surpassing more than 300 traffic-related deaths last year. The culprit behind these record traffic fatalities is all too familiar: human drivers. But just as autonomous vehicles begin to offer an alternative to the deadly status quo created by drivers, opponents of the new technology are campaigning to smear AVs’ safety record.
