Both sides are claiming victory after a judge halted construction of a massive warehouse project in San Bernardino County until an updated environmental study is done. The lawsuit ruling by San Bernardino Superior Court Judge Donald Alvarez found fault with the Bloomington Business Park’s environmental impact report, a key document required for the 213-acre project that would add 2.1 million square feet of warehouses to a rural unincorporated area.The 100-page ruling issued Tuesday, Sept. 17, forbids the project’s developer and the county “from taking any action to construct the project” until the county complies with the California Environmental Quality Act, which…

The courts welcome these theories with open arms and businesses are overwhelmed with claims.”While many readers may wonder what could be so bad about this for the ordinary person, the reality is that California’s judicial landscape stifles and chills…

“How expensive?” tracks measurements of California’s totally unaffordable housing market. The pain: The cheapest place to live in California – the Central Valley’s Hanford – is still more expensive than 295 metropolitan areas across the US. The source: My trusty spreadsheet reviewed the annual “price parity” report from the US Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Among these are assurances that he would revitalize U.S. business, to “save vaping.”He can kill two birds with one stone by eliminating the Premarket Tobacco Product Application (PMTA) process for e-cigarettes.
