The proposal, led by Councilmember Elena Delgado, responds to concerns about family ties in local politics and would also block councilmembers from appointing each other’s relatives.
   

• New expanded crop lien law helps California recover wages for Coachella Valley farmworkers (ca.gov) — Farmworkers in the Coachella Valley recently recovered nearly $10,000 in unpaid wages thanks to California’s newly expanded crop lien law, which lets workers quickly secure liens against harvested crops.
