Clean Air Day brings spotlight to air quality in Barrio Logan

from KPBS Midday Edition

The San Diego non-profit Environmental Health Coalition is launching a petition asking the San Diego Air Pollution Control District to stop the company New Leaf Biofuel from producing hazardous odors that it says are making Barrio Logan residents sick. Then, we stay in Barrio Logan to talk about the long-awaited opening of the Chicano Park Museum and Cultural Center. Next, details on an emergency plan to repair a portion of train tracks connecting San Diego and Orange counties that have been closed since Friday. And, starting next year, jaywalking is less likely to get you a ticket in California. What the new law will and won’t do. Next, San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance researchers are celebrating their first successful breeding of an endangered Indian narrow-headed soft-shell turtle. Finally, local author Amy Wallen will be appearing at the San Diego Writers Festival this weekend to talk about her new book, "How to Write a Novel in 20 Pies."
