Good morning, readers. Today is Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2014. In the Burbank and Glendale, the high will be 70 and low 50.
Here are some of the top headlines in the region this morning:
- A storm is headed to the Los Angeles area, and it could be the wettest in two years, according to the Los Angeles Times.
- A 5-year-old boy was struck by a vehicle while crossing the street in Burbank Monday afternoon. The driver apparently tried to flee the scene and was arrested, police said.
More than 1,000 entertainment industry workers gathered in Burbank on Saturday, launching a campaign to support an expansion of California’s film and TV tax credit program.
- Former Glendale Police Chief Ron De Pompa made about $370,000 during the last calendar year, according to annual gross salary data publicly released by the city this month—the most any city employee has netted in years. He says more than $150,000 of that didn’t go directly into his pocket.
