    Swanson: Not the start to Shohei Ohtani era that Dodgers expected
    • March 26, 2024

    LOS ANGELES — Well, glad that’s all cleared up.

    On Monday, the world’s greatest baseball player told a room full of reporters what his lawyers already stated on his behalf: Ippei Mizuhara has been stealing and lying and Shohei Ohtani – who, himself, never bet on sports – didn’t know anything about his former interpreter and friend’s alleged betting on sports through an illegal bookmaker.

    “I’m looking forward to focusing on the season,” Ohtani said, via the Dodgers’ interpreter Will Ireton, before a preseason game at Dodger Stadium against the Angels, his former team. “I’m glad that we had this opportunity to talk.”

    Sure, good talk, Shohei. Don’t know what we learned from it definitively, except that this man really is one cool customer.

    Calm at the plate or on the mound in the clutch – and behind a mic in the face of a whole new sort of scrutiny.

    Ohtani sat calmly for nearly 12 minutes and delivered semi-prepared remarks to a crowd of close to 100 reporters without taking questions, leaving us unable to do much more than channel Larry David when he goes all lie detector, the comedian using the stare-down as means of determining the veracity of people’s claims.

    Are you sure I’m not adopted? That I didn’t tip you twice? That you didn’t take the dog? That you didn’t know about $4.5 million wired from your bank account to an illegal bookie? Are you sure???

    Stare.

    Stare.

    Ohtani stared right back at us. Didn’t fidget or stutter or stumble. Didn’t blink.

    So, yeah. OK.

    What can you do but shrug, nod and let the investigations – Major League Baseball’s and law enforcement’s – go on.

    Nod, wait and watch as the Dodgers try to take back the narrative of what was to be a monumental season of delicious, high-stakes, on-field villainy before last week’s allegations served to curb enthusiasm so dramatically.

    All the ways this Dodgers season could go – good, bad, ugly or sideways, upside down – betcha didn’t have this particular loop on your bingo card.

    This is not what anyone envisioned when the Dodgers won the Ohtani sweepstakes, signing him to a historic $700 million, 10-year contract – and bringing aboard Mizuhara with him, the two a package deal.

    The Dodgers expected the Japanese sensation, a unicorn for his rare combination of elite pitching and hitting exploits, would help propel them toward the World Series championship they’re so desperate for – while bolstering their global brand.

    Instead, they’ve got a scandal that was, until last week, unthinkable for the famously private superstar.

    His dog’s name (Dekopin, or Decoy) was, for weeks, a mystery. His marriage came as a total surprise. He wouldn’t divulge any details about his Tommy John surgery.

    So it was jarring to hear him speak on the record Monday about how “very saddened and shocked” he was, how hurt he was that someone who’d been a trusted confidante was allegedly stealing from him and lying about him.

    It wasn’t nearly as shocking that he didn’t take questions. Ohtani could be the main witness in a criminal case, his lawyers wouldn’t want him trying to explain to us how it could have gone unnoticed that he’d allegedly had millions of his dollars wired out? Or how Mizuhara allegedly could have arranged it? How long he allegedly could have been getting away with it? Why Mizuhara’s story evolved so much and so rapidly?

    They wouldn’t want him to say more about this: “Ippei has been telling everybody around that Ippei has been communicating with Shoehei on all of this account, to my representative, to the team, and that hasn’t been true.”

    Or about his assertion that the first time he learned of these allegations was while Mizuhara addressed the team in the clubhouse after the Dodgers’ first game in South Korea last week – in English.

    “So during the team meeting, obviously Ippei was speaking in English, and I didn’t have a translator on my side – but even with that, I kind of understood what was going on and started to feel that there was something amiss,” Ohtani said.

    So Ohtani was basically the last to know? Are we sure?

    The only thing we’re actually sure of: This isn’t how the Dodgers’ season was supposed to start.

    Rain forces NHRA to move Winternationals finals to Phoenix
    • March 26, 2024

    The NHRA announced that the Winternationals finals, rained out on Sunday at In-N-Out Pomona Dragstrip, will be run on Saturday, April 6, at the Arizona Nationals in Phoenix.

    Mid-afternoon heavy rain, along with lightning and a hailstorm, made it impossible to complete the final round of the Winternationals in Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stock. The Pomona champions will be determined by races run at the end of Saturday qualifying in each class at Firebird Motorsports Park.

    Justin Ashley and Tony Schumacher will square off for the Top Fuel title. It will be Matt Hagan versus John Force in Funny Car, and Erica Enders and Dallas Glenn will vie for the Pro Stock crown.

    Environmentalists sue Metro in effort to stop gondola ride to Dodger Stadium
    • March 26, 2024

    Environmental advocates on Monday, March 25, delivered on their promise to sue Metro for approving planning documents for a proposed gondola project that would provide access to Dodger Stadium.

    The Los Angeles Parks Alliance, a group of public space advocates, announced their lawsuit against the transit agency under California’s environmental laws. It urged the court to throw out what they describe as the gondola’s “fatally flawed” final environmental impact report. Metro previously certified the EIR report in February, which represented a significant step forward for the project.

    Members of the alliance claim the gondola would significantly impact the land and airspace of Los Angeles State Historic Park, destroy more than 250 trees, displace wildlife and permanently ruin its vistas.

    “L.A. Metro’s decision to certify this deeply flawed EIR has left us with no other choice than to plead our case to the court,” Jon Christensen, adjunct assistant professor at UCLA Institute of the Environmental and Sustainability and founder of the alliance, said in a statement.

    “The board’s action ignores 20 years of community advocacy that went into building a park in a neighborhood in dire need of green space and recreational opportunities and essentially gifts the public’s land and air rights to a billionaire for an illegal commercial exploitation.”

    Metro did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Zero Emissions Transit, the non-profit owner of the gondola project known as Los Angeles Aerial Rapid Transport, also did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    Metro took on the role as the lead agency overseeing California Environmental Quality Act requirements as required by the Public Utilities Code to review for approval all plans proposed for the design, construction, and implementation of public mass transit projects — regardless of whether the transit agency is the project sponsor.

    As part of their approval, Metro’s Board of Directors also signed off on a community benefits agreement, placing about 30 conditions on the project. If those conditions are not met, Metro will have the ability to revoke permissions and use of its land.

    Highlights of the agreement include calls for an ongoing Chinatown revitalization revolving loan fund to offer low- and no-interest loans, and forgivable loans to local small businesses, entrepreneurs and street vendors. It also establishes requirements for tree replacement parking, local job creation, workforce development, sustainable and affordable housing.

    The project will also require further consideration from the city of Los Angeles, Caltrans, the California State Department of Parks and Recreation, and the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health before it comes back to the transit agency at a future date for construction approval.

    Former Dodgers owner Frank McCourt proposed the $300 million privately-funded project, which would establish a 1.2-mile aerial gondola, connecting Union Station with Dodger Stadium.

    The project would include a station at the southernmost entrance of Los Angeles State Historic Park, as well as pedestrian and landscape improvements. The project would run above Chinatown, Mission Junction, Elysian Park and Solano Canyon.

    Though the project was initially estimated at $300 million, updated financial documents show the gondola closer to $500 million.

    In 2023, McCourt gifted the project to a new entity, Zero Emission Transit, which is now handling potential building, financing and operation of the gondola.

    Metro had stated it would not be providing funding for the project, and assured taxpayer money would not be used. ZET also reiterated it was a privately-funded venture, but opponents say there are no guarantees public dollars won’t be spent.

    ZET has billed the project as environmentally friendly and aid in reducing traffic on streets around the stadium and freeways heading there by removing as many as 3,000 cars, leading to a net reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

    Last week, Executive Director of ZET David Grannis attended a Los Angeles City Council meeting to discuss the project. He said the project would “reduce car trips, alleviate congestion and improve accessibility to the most visited venue of Major League Baseball.”

    He also described the agreement with Metro as setting a “new standard” for community investments by a transit project.

    The alliance, in their lawsuit, contends McCourt has plans for Dodger Stadium parking lots, which he owns, likely to build a retail and entertainment complex similar to that of L.A. Live. McCourt has filed plans with the L.A. City Planning Department for some housing projects around the stadium.

    The alliance argues the EIR does not study the impacts of those foreseeable plans, undercutting the claimed benefit of traffic and greenhouse gas reduction. Additionally, the group criticizes the EIR for failing to recognize the use of land and airspace of L.A. State Historic Park.

    “This project clearly violates CEQA, but more importantly is being forced on a neighborhood that has had to endure more than its share of projects that don’t benefit the community,” John Given, legal counsel to LAPA, said in a statement. “I believe the court will recognize what our elected representatives on Metro’s Board have not, and correct this egregious abuse of discretion.”

    The L.A. City Council approved a motion last week to halt approvals for the gondola project until further studies can be conducted on its potential impacts. Council members voted 11-2 in support of the motion introduced by Councilwoman Eunisses Hernandez, who represents the First District, where the gondola would be located. As part of the action, council members approved $500,000 for the Los Angeles Department of Transportation to hire a consultant to conduct assessments.

    IRS says 940,000 unclaimed tax refunds are about to expire
    • March 26, 2024

    By Fatima Hussein | Associated Press

    WASHINGTON — The IRS is warning taxpayers that they may be leaving more than $1 billion on the table.

    The federal tax collector said Monday that roughly 940,000 people in the U.S. have until May 17 to submit tax returns for unclaimed refunds for tax year 2020, which total more than $1 billion nationwide.

    The average median refund is $932 for 2020. Texas (93,400), California (88,200), Florida (53,200) and New York (51,400) have the largest amount of people potentially eligible for these refunds.

    IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said in a statement: “We want taxpayers to claim these refunds, but time is running out for people who may have overlooked or forgotten about these refunds. There’s a May 17 deadline to file these returns so taxpayers should start soon to make sure they don’t miss out.”

    For people who need to file a return, the IRS advises taxpayers to request their W-2, 1098, 1099 or 5498 from their employer or bank — or order a free wage and income transcript using the “Get Transcript Online” tool at IRS.gov.

    Taxpayers typically have three years to file and claim tax refunds, otherwise the money becomes the property of the U.S. Treasury.

    Generally the deadline to claim old refunds falls around the April 15 tax deadline, but this year the three-year window for 2020 unfiled returns was postponed to May 17, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. But if taxpayers haven’t filed a return for tax year 2021 and 2022, any 2020 refunds would be withheld until they file for those years as well to make sure they don’t owe.

    Werfel said “some people may not realize they may be owed a refund. We encourage people to review their files and start gathering records now, so they don’t run the risk of missing the May deadline.”

    Tax season officially began on January 29.

    According to the latest tax season statistics, more than 71.5 million individual tax filings have been submitted to the IRS this season.
