$500 For Some In 90813 + GTA Races Grand Prix + 7th District Meet

Morning, people of Long Beach! Sylvia Cochran here with a fresh edition of the Long Beach Daily.

A pilot program will give 500 single-parent households in the 90813 ZIP code a guaranteed income of $500 for a year. Also, the races at the Grand Prix will get even faster with the GTA Championship also running on the track. Finally, redistricting is moving along and residents of the 7th Council District can give in-person input at a Commission meeting.

First, today's weather: Clear throughout the day. High: 82 Low: 66.

Here are the top stories in Long Beach today:
