Description: The San Diego County Board of Supervisors has approved a plan to replace neighborhood polling places with large-scale vote centers. Plus, the state mandated requirement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has county officials pushing hard to develop a legally defensible climate action plan. Then, officials with the San Diego County Water Authority are calling on the region to voluntarily cut its water usage by 10% after Governor Gavin Newsom announced he is extending the drought emergency across the state. Also, the far right group Defend East County is trying to be a player in San Diego politics. And, California turned to an unusual partner for COVID-19 response: The same company that built former President Donald Trump’s border wall along the state’s southern border. Lastly, California was likely named after a mythical Black female warrior in an early 16th century Spanish novel -- most Californians don’t know this origin story, but a Bay Area theater company hopes to change that.
