- Big story on KNBC at 5 pm with Controller Laura Chick accusing Playa Vista head Steven Soboroff of trying to bully her into dropping an investigation into methane at the development, and Chick squirming a bit herself.

[By the way, if you didn't see, there's an update to Wednesday's post about morale at the Breeze.]
