A San Diego Superior Court judge said the San Diego City Council waited too long to declare Measure C had passed. The council waited a year to determine the ballot measure needed a simple majority. At the time of the election it was thought to require a two-thirds majority and fell just shy at 65% of the vote.

Also, as some states ban abortions we look at a pair of proposed bills in California that would expand access to reproductive health care, including abortions. Meanwhile, San Diego officials were not pleased with the performance of their new ambulance provider, Falck. And, at least 90,000 restaurants and bars across the country have closed since the beginning of the pandemic.
