Watch: Big Questions Loom after SB Council Turns Down Paseo Plan; Heartbreaking Impact of Trump Attacks; Why Local News Matters
Newsmakers TV's All-Star Panel of Top Local Journalists looks around corners, with well-informed insights and analysis about the week's biggest news stories.
On Tuesday, the Santa Barbara City Council refused to endorse a gun-to-the-head massive redevelopment plan for the beleaguered Paseo Nuevo downtown shopping center.
Which left the burning question: What now?
On this week’s episode of Newsmakers TV, Josh Molina and Ryan P. Cruz, who have reported and written in depth and detail on the hugely consequential and enormously complex land use issue, look ahead to the implications of City Hall saying ‘no’ to a take-it-or-leave-it project backed by the global financial behemoth Alliance Bernstein, aka AB Commercial.
Christina McDermott joins the gang with an update on the right-wing extremist Trump Administration’s efforts to deny food to some local residents, plus her report on the reaction of Rep. Salud Carbajal, SB’s Man in Washington and a member of the House Armed Services Committee, to the president’s murderous, and probably illegal, military actions in the Caribbean.
Plus: heartfelt discourse about the over-arching importance of local news reporters who are closely connected to our community.
All this and more, right here, right now, on Newsmakers TV.
