WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Elon Musk's SpaceX and United Launch Alliance are expected to each win a U.S. Space Force rocket launch contract on Friday worth billions of dollars to send some of the Pentagon's most sensitive satellites into space over the next several years, according to two people familiar with the procurement decision.

Amazon will assemble that big constellation over more than 80 launches, the majority of them performed by the Atlas V and its successor, ULA's new Vulcan Centaur. Amazon has also procured launches from Arianespace, Blue Origin and SpaceX.

Two years into Measure ULA, a new report claims that the tax is hurting commercial development and causing the city to lose $25 million in annual property tax revenue.

City of Los Angeles wants to dip into “mansion tax” funds to help pay the rent of refugees from the Pacific Palisades fire.

Property owners outside the city of Los Angeles may not be that familiar with the Measure ULA tax, but they should be prepared to get up to speed.
