• Long Beach City Council Approves $15K Fine, 15-Day Jail Option For Fireworks Offenses (patch.com) — Long Beach’s City Council has sharply increased penalties for illegal fireworks, allowing fines up to $15,000 or 15 days in jail for serious violations. Officials say growing complaints and more powerful, easily purchased fireworks are driving the change, and police plan extra patrols on city streets and beaches, especially around July 4, to enforce the tougher rules.
• Long Beach City Council votes to pierce tax cap, cites unavoidable costs (liherald.com) — Long Beach’s City Council has voted to pierce the state tax cap, meaning the average household will pay about $229 more per year starting with the next fiscal year. City officials cite big jumps in health benefits, contractual raises and pensions, while some residents criticize both salary increases for administrators and the timing of the final vote.
• Long Beach man indicted for 'brutally killing' woman in knife attack (news12.com) — A man from Long Beach has been indicted on a murder charge after prosecutors say a woman he’d recently been living with was fatally stabbed during a violent car encounter that ended in Yaphank.
