There’s been a rise in employee lawsuits demanding reimbursement for expenses incurred while working from home during the pandemic.

“We have tons of these in the pipeline,” an attorney told @hugomartin. latimes.com/business/story…
Home expenses such as telephone and internet fees, extra energy to heat or cool a house and office supplies can add up to $50 to $200 a month per employee, according to more than a dozen lawsuits. latimes.com/business/story…
If expenses were incurred during the duration of the pandemic, that could add up to as much as $5,000 for every worker.

Some lawsuits also demand payment for the potential revenue employees could have collected had they rented out their home office. latimes.com/business/story… Image

New: Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said he is launching a criminal investigation to find out who leaked security video of an incident in which a deputy knelt on the head of a handcuffed inmate for more than three minutes.

latimes.com/california/sto…
The Times published video last month of the 2021 incident and detailed efforts by department officials to keep it under wraps.

Villanueva told Fox 11 News the disclosure of the video to The Times amounted to a theft of investigative material.

Sean Parker went to DC with a plan: instead of taxing billionaires on capital gains, encourage them to put the money in “opportunity zones” to help poor communities.

And it happened… except for the part where the poor communities benefit.

latimes.com/politics/story… Image
In 2017, the Opportunity Zone program was born, creating what would become one of the largest federal programs for steering investment into low-income areas.

It allows investors to park their capital gains in Opportunity Zone projects.

latimes.com/politics/story…
When they do, they can put off paying taxes on those gains for years, and cut that tax bill by as much as 15% when it does come due.

An eruption of gunfire in Sacramento on Sunday appears to be a result of a fight between rivals that caught bystanders in a crossfire of automatic and semi-automatic weapons fire, law enforcement sources said.

latimes.com/california/sto…
Police said they are still piecing together what happened as crowds were departing downtown bars and nightclubs.

The complex crime investigation involves interviews with dozens of witnesses, reviews of camera footage, & processing 100+ shell casings.

Police said a man in a car drove up 10th Street near the K Street Mall and unleashed a sustained barrage of bullets. At least one other person also fired a gun, killing two young women, three fathers and an unhoused woman well known in the neighborhood.
