Show Notes
The San Diego Unified school board voted to require COVID-19 vaccinations for school district staff and students 16 and older beginning on Dec. 20. Plus, we speak to Dr. Eric Topol about variants, testing and vaccines. Then, we bring you an interview with San Diego's independent budget analyst, Andrea Tevlin, who announced her retirement this month after working at the city for 16 years. Her office was established by voters in 2004 as an independent check on the mayor. Also, a KQED investigative project shows that children are especially affected by wildfire smoke. And, La Mesa’s Oktoberfest is resuming in person this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, after going virtual last year due to the pandemic. Lastly, a “Port of Entry” interview with the famed animator Jorge Gutierrez about his new show and his cross-border influences between Tijuana and San Diego.
