• State issues audit over county response to landfill crisis (signalscv.com) — State auditors say Los Angeles County's health department fell short in protecting Val Verde and Castaic residents from the ongoing Chiquita Canyon Landfill crisis, criticizing slow action on relocations and poor communication. Local Supervisor Kathryn Barger and Assemblywoman Pilar Schiavo both responded, with new state laws now requiring earlier temperature monitoring and public posting of landfill data to prevent similar problems.
