    LA County Votes to Increase Minimum Wage

    LA Supervisors were inundated with public comment today — for and against a measure that would increase the minimum wage. Over the next five years, it would go from $9 an hour to $15 in unincorporated areas. The City of LA took similar action last month, but other municipalities are undecided. Will Burbank or Glendale keep wages down and try to lure businesses into crossing the border?

    Also, UCLA ranks high on America's hospital honor roll but low on cyber-security. A recent breach affected 4.5 million people.
