Now, they've answered our call for help," United Firefighters of Los Angeles City President Doug Coates said.The union's declaration came late Thursday morning as Measure FD held 53.68% support. Ballots were still being counted, but UFLAC said it was clear the measure would win.The proposal followed the January 2025 fires that destroyed thousands of homes in Pacific Palisades and killed 12 people. Revenue would fund new fire stations, additional recruits and equipment upgrades."It will allow the LAFD to hire desperately needed firefighters, paramedics, and purchase new fire trucks, engines and ambulances so that we can arrive on time when L.A. residents need us the most," Coates added.Measure FD would raise Los Angeles' sales tax from 10.25% to 10.75% .

UCLA basketball is set up for a very smooth month of November

November should treat the UCLA Bruins well. The month, and the season, began with a terrific win over No. 5 Arizona where UCLA were able to play their style of game against one of the top teams in the country. Now things will get easier for the Bruins. For the rest of the month, UCLA will face six nonconference opponents and won’t have to leave Southern California. The Bruins will play their next five games at Pauley Pavilion before heading down to San Diego to play Saint Mary’s. UCLA isn’t facing a Murderer’s Row either, as they’re set to face North Florida, AR-Pine Bluff, Long Beach State, Cal Fullerton, Delaware and then Saint Mary’s. The Bruins will hope that they got a month’s-worth of urgency out of the opener and will be able to spend the rest of November tinkering with lineups so that they can hit Big Ten Conference play running. Conference play will begin December 1st against Oregon but will then face No. 15 Gonzaga days later. As it sits now, UCLA’s first Big Ten game against a ranked opponent won’t occur until 2027 when the team hosts Michigan State. The soft November slate should allow for UCLA’s

Picking Week 10 of college football in the Big Ten

Week 10 of the college football season is officially here! And while USC is off this week , there are plenty of other exciting Big Ten games on the schedule. So what can we expect to see in the league this week? Here are my Big Ten picks for Week 10: Illinois over Nebraska (Friday) The Huskers are probably the better team, but they will inevitably find a way to blow it yet again. UCLA over Minnesota USC has the 9-0. UCLA has a 9-0 football team. Purdue over Maryland Purdue is bad. Maryland is worse. Ohio State over Oregon Only elite West Coast teams are capable of beating the Buckeyes. Penn State over Washington Both of these teams have been extremely disappointing this year. This week, the disappointment continues in Seattle. Wisconsin over Rutgers Wisconsin bounces back from last week's ugly loss to Iowa. Northwestern over Iowa Speaking of Iowa, the Hawkeyes go down in Evanston. Michigan over Michigan State Expect another piss-poor performance from the Spartans.
