After Ventura County supervisors passed several new measures meant to mitigate harms caused by oil and gas operations, an overlapping network of fossil fuel interests sued to stop them from going into effect, Capital & Main has learned.
At least one of the suits, filed by a nonprofit trade association representing local business interests, may present conflicts of interest among its board members, who are also tied to other lawsuits.
Additionally, the largest oil company operating in the county, together with California’s largest trade association for oil companies, launched an in-person petition drive to collect tens of thousands of signatures amid spiking COVID-19 hospital visits in order to overturn new regulations on future oil extraction covered by permits issued to drillers decades ago.

KCLU s Caroline Feraday reports on the Ventura science lecturer who has co-designed a microscope aboard the International Space Station
It’s 254 miles up, orbiting the earth, and now the International Space Station has a new piece of equipment aboard, thanks to a Ventura County scientist.
A microscope created with help from a lecturer at California State University Channel Islands is being used on the ISS.
The compact microscope – called the Lumascope – was co-designed by Physics lecturer Dr. Brian Rasnow.
“The microscope uses the characteristic called fluorescence, which is a fairly rare aspect of nature. Most of us are aware of fluorescence at Halloween parties where you put on some funky face make-up that under a black light glows brightly in a different color, he told KCLU.

Never-before-released data from the federal government has shed new light on the debt burden of low-income families in California.
More than 13,500 low-income students attending California’s two public university systems had parents take out federal loans on their behalf in recent years, according to a CalMatters analysis of figures released by the U.S. Department of Education last week for every college in the nation.
The numbers show how much parents borrow in federal loans for their students by campus, filling a prominent hole in the public’s understanding of student loan debt.
The data paint a complicated picture of what some experts call intergenerational college debt. Relatively few low-income parents of students enrolled at the University of California and California State University borrowed. The average median of those that did was approximately $10,500, slightly less than the national average median of $12,500.
