Hunger in Ventura County
A new study being released tomorrow has the alarming statistic that up to 100,000 people in Ventura County may go hungry each day. Staff writer Marjorie Hernandez (mhernandez@VenturaCountyStar.com) will be writing about that study out of UCLA and the efforts, to be announced tomorrow, by Food Share to enlist the faith community in an all-out effort to reduce hunger and poverty in the county.
Also for tomorrow's Page One, we'll have a report out of Santa Maria and the wait for the Michael Jackson verdict. Staff writer Zeke Barlow (zbarlow@VenturaCountyStar.com) and staff photographer James Glover are in Santa Maria today talking to the Jackson devotees who are waiting outside the courthouse. We'll find out who these people are who are putting their lives on hold to support the pop star.
We are continuing to follow last week's shooting rampage and will report any new developments from that case.
And we are following today's Supreme Court decision which said that federal law can still be applied to individuals in California who use marijuana for medical reasons with a doctor's prescription.
