California To Give 40% Of Vaccine Doses To Vulnerable Areas

Plus, an inewsource-KPBS investigation found dozens of hospitals that received waivers for increasing nurse-to-patient ratios failed to document that it had tried the state\u2019s alternative options first. And the city of San Diego released its first pay equity study Tuesday, finding city employees of color made an average of 20.8% less than white employees and female city employees earned an average of 17.6% less than male employees in 2019.

Plus, the business that preserves and protects Dr. Seuss\u2019 legacy has announced it will stop publishing six titles because of racist and insensitive imagery. Finally, Ram\xf3n Amezcua, better known as Bostich of Nortec Collective, is famous for blending the classic norte\xf1a sounds of Tijuana with electronic music. But making music and touring the world wasn\u2019t always his plan.
