## Resource

Lake Hemet’s water’s off-limits due to a nasty algal bloom—officials urge everyone to stay out. Meanwhile, L.A. mayoral hopefuls Bass and Raman clashed over climate progress, each claiming victory while highlighting stark differences in their environmental visions. In Long Beach, a last-minute fix keeps hundreds of formerly homeless folks from losing housing vouchers, thanks to federal funding and cost-cutting. And at the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, audit chair Justin Szlasa was quietly ousted without explanation—raising alarms about hidden dysfunction amid his push for transparency.
