Work got underway Monday to dismantle the shuttered San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant. Southern California Edison, the plant’s operator, says the decommissioning process is expected to take eight years. Plus, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders may be leading in the Democratic presidential primary race, but The San Diego Union-Tribune is recommending the country go in a different direction. The editorial board endorsed South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg for president of the United States. Also, a string of Facebook posts, which has since been scrubbed off the site, lands a judicial candidate in hot water for their racist, anti-immigrant, transphobic and misogynist themes. And, the battle over Measure B is attracting big money — mostly from one faction. In addition, KPBS’ “My First Day” podcast introduces listeners to Ron Patterson, a man who slept on the streets of Ocean Beach. Finally, dozens of indigenous voices will be represented at a two-day symposium hosted by UC San Diego this week.
