The shutdown at Southern California airports -- including Bob Hope Airport -- may have been the result of a relic from the Cold War that triggered a software glitch at a major air traffic control center in California, NBC reported. The glitch led to delays and cancellations of hundreds of flights across the country.
Assemblymen Mike Gatto (D-Silver Lake) and Raul Bocanegra (D-Pacoima) responded this week to a report about the state’s filming industry that suggests new tax incentives might help keep movie and television studios shooting in California.
The first-ever crowd-sourced bill was approved this week by the state Assembly with a 72-0 vote.
