• Former city councilmen for Baldwin Park & Compton each sentenced to 18 months re bribes 'to obtain official city permits for marijuana cultivation.' (cannabislaw.report) — A Diamond Bar-based import-export company figures into a federal bribery case that just sent former Baldwin Park and Compton councilmembers to prison for steering marijuana permits.
