Newsletter: Today: Democrats’ Split Decision. Food Truck Safety.

I’m Davan Maharaj, editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times. Here are some story lines I don’t want you to miss today.

TOP STORIES

No KO; Split Decision

Bernie Sanders has won the Oregon primary and appeared to fall just short of taking Kentucky from Hillary Clinton. It’s possible there could be a recount in the Bluegrass State. Either way, Sanders was celebrating. He held a rally in Carson, where he claimed he would win California’s primary next month. In short, things are getting tense. How tense? Keep reading.

The Bern That Burns

Thrown chairs. Hurled insults. Death threats. That was the Nevada Democratic Convention over the weekend. And this week, Sanders and party leaders clashed over the outbreak. They wanted him to condemn the violence; instead he mostly blamed party officials. Has he “unleashed something that I don’t think even he knew he would unleash,” as one analyst says?

Food Truck Safety: Chew on This

Food trucks have gone from underground phenomenon to mainstream popularity. Here’s something to digest: A Times analysis of L.A. County data shows they are lagging behind restaurants and even sidewalk food carts in terms of food safety. About 27% of trucks inspected by the county over the last two years earned grades below A, compared with 5% for restaurants and 18% for carts. Read on for more stats and to see why it’s harder for them to stay sanitary.

Was This Oil Spill a Crime?

The one-year statue of limitations was getting close, but a grand jury has indicted an oil pipeline company and one of its employees on criminal charges after a spill of about 143,000 gallons of crude oil last year. Plains All-American Pipeline officials said they were “deeply disappointed” by the decision to pursue criminal charges in what they deem an accident. Here’s why the company could face $3 million in fines.

Takin’ Care of Business and Working Overtime

Income inequality has been one of the key issues in this election year. After states like California and New York moved to raise minimum wages and expand paid family leave, President Obama is getting in on the act: New federal regulations will double the salary level under which workers must be paid overtime, to $47,476 a year. That will make roughly 4 million more Americans eligible for OT. Could it backfire, as the critics say it will?

ONLY IN CALIFORNIA

The state’s Bureau of Medical Marijuana Regulation will be tasked with licensing medical marijuana sellers beginning in 2018, but its acronym — BMMR — has become a joke that lawmakers swear they never intended. Now the governor wants to rename the agency the Bureau of Medical Cannabis Regulation. What a bummer.
