Landowner gets OK to shoot lion
License to kill granted by the stateThe death of a radio-monitored mountain lion shot dead under the state’s three-strike policy—which was intended to make such killings more difficult—has sparked debate over the best way to manage the area’s shrinking puma population. P-56 was killed in January after a Camarillo ranch lost 12 animals in two years to the big cat. The cougar is the first collared […]

While far from perfect, county’s new voting system will help
Ah, technology. It’s a love and hate affair. The recent Iowa caucus—the nation’s first say in the 2020 presidential race—was a titanic win for the old pen-and-paper crowd.

Could it […]

Critical Agoura Hills’ intersections are now over capacity. This significant traffic impact is occurring now even though the massive Agoura Village East (AVE) proposed project has not been approved. The public environmental […]
Traffic a problem
Letters to the editor don’t put me in a frenzy, but sitting in stopped traffic while trying to run a quick errand certainly does.

The State of California is coming down hard on cites to build more affordable housing. In […]
