At least one of the suits, filed by a nonprofit trade association representing local business interests, may present conflicts of interest among its board members, who are also tied to other lawsuits.
Additionally, the largest oil company operating in the county, together with California’s largest trade association for oil companies, launched an in-person petition drive to collect tens of thousands of signatures amid spiking COVID-19 hospital visits in order to overturn new regulations on future oil extraction covered by permits issued to drillers decades ago.

KCLU s Caroline Feraday reports on the Ventura science lecturer who has co-designed a microscope aboard the International Space Station
It’s 254 miles up, orbiting the earth, and now the International Space Station has a new piece of equipment aboard, thanks to a Ventura County scientist.
A microscope created with help from a lecturer at California State University Channel Islands is being used on the ISS.
The compact microscope – called the Lumascope – was co-designed by Physics lecturer Dr. Brian Rasnow.
“The microscope uses the characteristic called fluorescence, which is a fairly rare aspect of nature. Most of us are aware of fluorescence at Halloween parties where you put on some funky face make-up that under a black light glows brightly in a different color, he told KCLU.
