📰 News we're reading
• Public Notices Published October 15, 2026 (sanfernandosun.com) — Several new court summons, probate, and name-change notices include a case set at the Norwalk Courthouse on October 30, which may involve Norwalk-area residents. If your name or a family member’s appears here, you’ll find hearing dates, locations, and instructions on how to respond or object in time.

• Taxpayer-paid workers vote to go on strike across California (timesofsandiego.com) — State workers plan a one-day strike on Oct. 21, with a picket line scheduled in Norwalk that could affect local state offices and services. Union leaders are pushing for 20% raises over three years, while critics warn the increases would strain California’s already high-tax budget and ultimately fall on taxpayers.
