• CA: MTS, NCTD vote to raise transit fares to $3.25, in bid to stave off service cuts (masstransitmag.com) — Chula Vista riders face higher MTS bus and trolley fares, rising to $3.25 one-way and up to $95 for monthly passes by 2027, as regional agencies move to avoid deep service cuts. A Chula Vista councilmember joined others in opposing the hikes as unfair to low-income riders, while a majority of the board argued increases were necessary to prevent major route reductions. 
• Jury screening begins for trial of Chula Vista husband accused of killing missing wife (sandiegouniontribune.com) — Jury screening is underway at the Chula Vista courthouse for the upcoming three‑month murder trial of Larry Millete, husband of missing resident May “Maya” Millete. Nearly 90 potential jurors have completed questionnaires, and in‑person questioning is set to begin May 11 as the court works to seat an impartial local jury.
