  The auto industry witnessed a different kind of March madness last month as buyers flocked to dealerships to lock in deals before President Donald Trump’s auto tariffs lift prices by thousands of dollars, several carmakers said.
  “This past weekend was by far the best weekend I’ve seen in a very long time,” Randy Parker, CEO of Hyundai Motor North America, told reporters Tuesday. The company reported a 13% increase in March sales on Monday compared with a year earlier.

  California is known for being the center of the tech industry, including artificial intelligence. Yet when it comes to tech companies deciding where to locate the data centers that are powering the AI boom, California isn’t the top choice. More data centers are located in states including Texas and Virginia than in the Golden State. And even that may be too much for California lawmakers, who have introduced legislation to restrict the growth of data centers in the state.

  California officials often blame a lack of funding for their failures to address the state’s multiple crises, yet an independent audit of Los Angeles’ spending of $2.3 billion in homeless services last year reinforces a point these pages often make: California governments fail to spend the money effectively.
