Quitting Oil Income Is Hard, Even for States That Want Climate Action

As the country moves toward cleaner energy to fight against climate change, challenges arise for communities dependent on tax revenue from oil. In 2020, oil and gas generated nearly 1/4th of Kern county’s property tax revenue, $197 million, which helps fund schools, hospitals and other programs. July 2022.

For Sebastian and Gabriela Fundora, chasing boxing championships runs in the family

Boxing runs deep in the Fundora family and as Sebastian’s father and coach says, it’s more than just a sport to them, it’s a lifestyle. Sebastian Fundora is one of the world's best junior middleweights, and in 2022 his record stood at 20 wins — 13 by knockout — and he was the possessor of the WBC interim world title. His younger sister, Gabriela, has been a pro for just over a year and in 2022 she had already fought ten times with nine wins — four by knockout — and a tenth bout was a no contest. Their younger sister Fabiola has also started getting more interested in boxing and often trains with her older siblings after school in the evenings. October 2022.
