Wealth taxes have been a hot topic since the 2020 campaign, and since Biden took office.

“Cincinnati-based Kroger said it’s shuttering the underperforming stores Ralphs at 9616 W. Pico Blvd. and 3300 W. Slauson Ave. and a Food 4 Less at 5420 W. Sunset Blvd. The stores will close May 15, affecting 289 employees.
