概要

Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Friday, February sixth.

We're starting with some significant legal news that could reshape California politics. The U.S. Supreme Court has officially cleared the way for California's new congressional maps to be used in the upcoming 2026 midterm elections. The court declined to hear the California Republican Party's lawsuit challenging Proposition 50, which returns the state to its independent redistricting commission. What this means for San Diego listeners is that candidates are already lining up for races in our region, particularly in the 48th district where multiple hopefuls are raising millions of dollars for what's shaping up to be a very expensive election cycle. Primary ballots will go out starting in May, with the primary election set for June second.

At the city level, San Diego is taking on the federal government over what it views as unconstitutional requirements. The City of San Diego is suing the Department of Justice over conditions attached to a grant meant to fight internet crimes against children. The DOJ is reportedly asking the city to provide unspecified access to Department of Homeland Security agents, something city leadership says goes too far. This matters because the FBI ranks our region as the thirteenth worst in the nation for sexual exploitation of children, making that federal funding absolutely critical to our local law enforcement efforts.

Speaking of city governance, San Diego County Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer is considering major reforms to how our county operates. These potential changes could include converting the county's administrative leader into an elected mayor position and extending term limits for supervisors. A ballot measure could go before voters as soon as June. Lawson-Remer says these reforms are meant to make county government more transparent and accountable during uncertain times.

Over in the South Bay, the Environmental Protection Agency is focusing attention on the Tijuana River sewage crisis. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin visited Coronado this week to discuss pollution issues that have plagued our communities for decades. He met with local officials and business owners, noting that several projects in Mexico are slated for completion this year, including a critical sanitation pipeline. County Supervisor Paloma Aguirre pressed Zeldin on the need for immediate relief alongside these longer term solutions.

On the sports front, Cal lacrosse opens their season tonight at Snapdragon Stadium against San Diego State, with the game starting at six PM Pacific time. The Gophers softball team also begins their season in San Diego this weekend, facing Miami of Ohio, San Diego State, Loyola Chicago, and Kentucky.

Looking at the weather, we're expecting another chilly day with continued cold conditions affecting our region.
