The Supreme Court holds a hearing Wednesday on an issue that could prove critical to the future of Ventura County, and all coastal California counties. The court is getting involved in a case to determine whether the California Coastal Commission is unconstitutional because it has both executive and legislative powers. Staff writer Zeke Barlow (zbarlow@VenturaCountyStar.com) previews the issue and its potential impact on development in the county.

Coverage continues today of the remarkable scenes coming from Rome as people wait up to seven hours to pay their final respects to Pope John Paul II. As a sidebar to that coverage, staff writer Sylvia Moore (smoore@VenturaCountyStar.com) talks with members of the Polish community in the county on their rememberances of the first Polish pope.

Beyond those stories, the rest of Page One for tomorrow is up in the air.
