Approximately 20 babies were born in the town during a 14-month period beginning in September 2007. Three of them died; each had been born with a cleft palate and had other health problems. Two others born during that period who survived also have the birth defect.
Some of the community’s 1,500 mostly Spanish-speaking residents are blaming the problem on a nearby hazardous waste facility — the largest landfill of its kind west of Louisiana. They also want the Kings County Board of Supervisors to halt the proposed expansion of Waste Management’s landfill pending an investigation into the cleft palate cluster by state and federal regulatory agencies.
But the county, which relies on the landfill for $20 million in annual payroll, purchases, fees and taxes, has refused to request such a probe on the grounds that it is extremely difficult to quantify the relationship between pollution and birth defects. County officials also say the evidence does not support placing blame on the landfill, the only facility in the state licensed to accept carcinogenic PCB’s.

Expo Line project costs and delays are ballooning -- latimes.com
WHAT! 220 MILLIONS DOLLARS OVER BUDGET FOR AN 8.6 MILE LONG TRACK EXTENSION ON RAILROAD RIGHT OF WAY??
The Expo Line, the first rail project into the traffic-clogged Westside, is $220 million over its original budget and more than a year behind schedule, with officials saying additional delays and costs are possible.
The line was supposed to open this summer, running from downtown Los Angeles to Culver City at a cost of $640 million.
But the price tag has risen to $862 million, and transit officials say their goal for next year is to open just a portion of the route — only as far west as Crenshaw Boulevard.
The 8.6-mile line has been touted by planners as a fast and cost-effective route for rail service to the Westside because it is being built mostly on an abandoned Southern Pacific right-of-way.
