Hot Take:

In a world where "potential cybersecurity incident" is the new "we've been hacked", Long Beach City Council decided to play it safe by declaring a state of Local Emergency. While the city's public safety services remain unfazed, residents are grappling with delays in non-emergency systems and services. Who would've thought paying your utility bills could turn into a cliffhanger of "will it, won't it?"
