NEW: An LAist podcast episode dives into our investigation that uncovered millions in public funds OC Supervisor Andrew Do directed during COVID to his daughter's group — money the county now alleges was “brazenly plundered” for personal gain. laist.com/podcasts/imperfect…

So proud of the work we did on this show! Hosted by @StoltzeFrankly, we dive into the impact of Gascon’s time in office, the criminal justice system in LA and where we’re at with the progressive prosecutors movement. Listen, listen 🎧
Today's the day! LAist launched this podcast (pt 1 of 4) that focuses on the DA race in LA County and takes a deep look at incumbent George Gascon's policies, how they fit into a larger justice reform movement, and the intense criticism he faces. laist.com/podcasts/imperfect…

As a steward at LAist, I’m incredibly disappointed to share that we’re losing valuable colleagues today.
Replying to @LAist
@LAist announced layoffs this week & began notifying employees who will be let go today. We aren’t sure yet how many union members will be affected. But we are already losing 11 unit members and 10 more members of our staff to voluntary buy-outs. We’ll have more to say soon.

This week's ep is about the civics uprising that sprang up in the LA golf community in response to brokers who were snatching up public course tee times and reselling them. It's like if The Big Lebwoski's Dude starred in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington laist.com/news/shadow-tee-ti…
