President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris arrive for their inauguration ceremony. The insurrection wasn t an attack on Congress or on a party, it was an assault on our democracy and on the peaceful transition of power and the will of the people, he said. While that mob failed . it did embolden armed groups across our country and provoked new threats to American cities.
Kristi Johnson, assistant director in charge of the FBI-Los Angeles field office, said the agency is not aware of any credible threats in the counties her office covers: L.A., Orange, San Bernardino, San Louis Obispo, Riverside and Ventura.
Actor and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger received his first dose of the coronavirus vaccine at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday, making him among the first residents 65 and older to get the shot in Los Angeles County.
What happened: Schwarzenegger, 73, booked an appointment himself at one of the city’s large-scale vaccination sites Tuesday after county health officials announced that individuals 65 and older could begin receiving vaccines Thursday, according to his spokesperson Daniel Ketchell.
Ketchell said they were surprised to see that a number of appointments were actually available for Wednesday, and Schwarzenegger signed up for a slot at 8:50 a.m. He was greeted at the stadium by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who was personally checking in cars arriving for appointments and had no prior knowledge of Schwarzenegger’s arrival, according to Ketchell.
SCAG Rejects Cities’ Appeals, Upholds Santa Ana Housing Allocation
The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) has rejected an appeal by four Orange County cities to shift state-mandated housing allocation requirements to Santa Ana.
The cities of Irvine, Yorba Linda, Newport Beach, and Garden Grove contested the state’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) quotas, arguing that Santa Ana should be required to build an additional 10,000 housing units.
The SCAG RHNA Appeals Board on Jan. 15 voted unanimously to deny all four appeals and upheld previous quotas requiring Santa Ana to zone land to accommodate 3,087 new housing units. The group is currently meeting to decide where affordable housing will be built in the region through October 2029.
