Despite Long Odds, a Consensus on New Rules for the Coastal Mountains

Hosted by

After decades of combat in court and sometimes at gunpoint, landowners, environmentalists and agricultural interests have finally agreed on how to preserve and develop 80 square miles of the Santa Monica Mountains. Will termed-out County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky’s four colleagues get on board when they vote on his plan tomorrow?

Also tonight, an earthquake warning system might be available for your cell phone—if the developers of ShakeAlert get the money. We’ll hear what it might sound like.
