Horvath decides to run for Los Angeles County CEO

(The Center Square) - Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath has launched a 2028 campaign for the county's newly created, voter-approved position of elected CEO. Reportedly the position would pay $558,000 a year, more than twice the California governor's salary. The reform, which came about with the passage of Measure G, flips the local power structure by placing the CEO, who will oversee a $50 billion-plus budget, above the Board of Supervisors, while also expanding the board itself from five to nine members. The current CEO is Joseph Nicchitta, who was appointed by the board on May 19. Starting with the 2028 elections, the CEO is slated to be elected by voters. “Los Angeles has never been a place that dreams small, but for too long, our County government has moved too slowly, failed to meet the moment, and allowed bureaucracy to stand in the way of progress,” Horvath posted on X. “I fight every day to reform our government because I believe the people of Los Angeles deserve better — a government that works for them, delivers real results, and is accountable to the people it serves. That’s why I’m running to become Los Angeles County’s first elected County

Route 66 in California: Desert Towns & Mother Road Stops

Route 66 in California is the last stretch of the Mother Road, running about 345 miles from the Colorado River at Needles to the Pacific at Santa Monica, according to the National Park Service. It packs the whole Route 66 story into one state: empty desert highway, a neon-lit ghost town, a silver-mining boomtown, and a pier at the end. And 2026 is the road’s centennial year, a hundred years since U.S. Route 66 was designated on November 11, 1926.

During the first half of 2026, permits ran 60% above the previous year's monthly average.But the report said it remains unclear how
