to the flea market and get them there legally but they do not get any receipts so when they come over here it would not be able to prove where they got their items from. luz: 22 vendors have signed up for the program and the plan is to spread them out from cesar chavez the 24th street and assign specific areas for them to work. liz: twitter's board of directors enacted a poison pill to stop elon musk's hostile takeover. the defensive measure will give twitter's existing shareholders time to purchase additional shares at a discount which will dilute musk's ownership stake after reports that investment management firm vanguard group increased its stake moving past musk as the largest investor. musk announced his bid on thursday. despite the spring rains we have seen firefighters say make no mistake fire season is coming
