Here’s the part no one tells you about dining out on Valentine’s Day: Restaurants are sprinting. And Valentine’s Day? At the end of the day, romance isn’t something you reserve for a restaurant reservation.

The People's party, which had been leading in polls, conceded defeat and encouraged supporters to keep fighting for democratic reforms. The result reflects a shift towards conservative and royalist factions in Thai politics.

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...Palm Springs City Hall hosts a full week of public meetings touching on transportation planning, housing development, human rights issues and economic policy, beginning Monday afternoon and concluding with a relatively short City Council agenda Wednesday night. The week opens Monday at 1 p.m. with a special meeting of the Sustainability Commission’s Active Transportation Subcommittee (see the agenda here). The City Council meets Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. with a shorter-than-usual agenda (see it here), though one item carries significant policy implications. City staff say the changes are intended to encourage reinvestment in aging properties while protecting future tax revenue. Approval Wednesday would constitute a first reading of the ordinance, with further action expected later this month.

The California Air Resources Board would oversee the program, offering rebates at the point of sale to lower upfront costs for buyers instead of reimbursing them later. The proposal exempts the program from the state’s usual rule-making requirements, allowing California to design and launch the rebates more quickly than typical for new programs. Newsom first unveiled the incentive proposal as part of his January budget plan but released few initial details. State officials cast the subsidy as a response to President Donald Trump’s dismantling of incentives and blocking of California’s clean-vehicle mandate. New passenger cars qualify only if priced at or below $55,000, while vans, SUVs and pickup trucks are capped at $80,000.
