Weekly News Update for August 31, 2019

Today we’re talking about a whole lot of stuff. We’ve got an update on the Empty Homes Tax, and one on Andy Ngo. We’ve got some breaking housing news, and some Cops Y’all content, some ridiculous electrical vehicle rebate news, a charter school conspiracy to steal all of the LAUSD students away from our public schools, a tragic murder in Skid Row, and a damning and controversial audit of LAHSA to close things out for this week.
