Since we first sat down with Masonic Smoker back in early 2021, he’s continued his rise on the genetics scene, locals might argue one of their favorite Masonic impacts on the community in those two years is Free Seed Day.This year, Free Seed Day will take place on April 15 at Masonic’s on Fairfax. Now one of the most significant events on the calendar for Angelino cultivators, the event initially got its start as an homage to Free Comic Book Day. Before the pandemic, Masonic had been participating in Free Comic Book Day for a decade. “I was hanging out at my store and then Free Comic Book Day is usually on the first Saturday of May, but because of COVID they kind of messed it up,” Masonic told L.A. Weekly. As he sat in his shop dealing with the FOMO of missing out on the rescheduled festivities, the idea popped into his head. “So it all kind of came to fruition there when I was doing FOMO on previous comic book days, I made my own Free Seed Day, and here we are.”Masonic went a bit m...San Mateo mayor’s vote-buying scheme allegations hold no water, DA says

SAN MATEO — District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe announced Thursday his office found no evidence to support San Mateo Mayor Amourence Lee’s allegations that there was an attempt to corrupt the voting process during the city’s mayoral transition crisis in December.The District Attorney’s office completed its investigation, conducted at the request of San Mateo City Attorney Prasanna Rasiah, into allegations related to votes occurring in December 2022 on the San Mateo City Council to select a mayor and fill an empty council seat, according to a press release.The controversy left the city without a ceremonial head of the City Council for over a week and put front and center the city’s political divisions, pitting neighbor against neighbor and leading to hours-long meetings as two pro-housing council members pleaded with their slow-growth counterparts to stop throwing a wrench into the mayoral selection process.While voters in large cities like San Jose, Oakla...IRS vows to audit more wealthy folks, provide better service

By Fatima Hussein | Associated PressWASHINGTON — The IRS released details Thursday on how it plans to use an infusion of $80 billion for improved operations, pledging to invest in new technology, hire more customer service representatives and expand its ability to audit high-wealth taxpayers.While some Republicans have suggested without evidence that the money from the Democrats’ landmark climate change and health care bill would help create a mob of armed auditors to harass middle-class taxpayers, new IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel said it will not include spending for new agents with guns.The agency’s newly released strategic operating plan lays out the specifics of how the IRS will allocate the $80 billion, through fiscal year 2031, that was approved in that legislation.Some improvements have been long expected, such as bringing more paper-based systems online and answering taxpayers’ phone calls promptly.

They did acquit Brown of first-degree murder, but couldn’t decide on second-degree murder or manslaughter, according to court records.The partial result led to a mistrial in Brown’s case, which could now either be tried again, set for plea bargaining, or dismissed outright. Brown is charged with killing 17-year-old Alexis Leann Ervin, an Oakley girl who was shot a half-dozen times a little before 7 a.m. on June 8, 2016, behind the Rainbow Recreation Center, 5800 International Blvd. in Oakland.During Brown’s trial, which began in February, his attorney argued there were several other people present during the shooting, any one of whom c...Suspects at large after UPS driver robbed outside sporting goods store in Brentwood
