Democrats demand accountability in carrier controversy

from San Diego News Now · host KPBS Public Media

Hear the latest on the San Diego aircraft carrier that has Defense officials on the defensive. Also, what does Donald Trump's grudge against magnets have to do with a $15 billion warship? After a teen pleads guilty to kicking a La Jolla sea lion, will others get the message to leave the animals alone? Then, how the Trump administration has left migrant children without attorneys for immigration court. And education reporter Katie Anastas introduces us to the Imperial Valley student making it easier for her classmates to take the SAT test. Also hear about liberation through deep listening with one local collective that’s using vinyl as a starting point. Voice of San Diego’s Scott Lewis returns with another Why it Matters story — this time about a long-running conflict between a developer and the city of Del Mar that some want to end with criminal charges. Finally, way beyond “yes, and …” a convention starting Thursday is all about improv — arts reporter Beth Accomando has a preview.
