Hymon, hands-down the best transportation reporter in Los Angeles, was laid off by the LA Times today, according to LAObserved. This is really terrible, terrible news. Hymon's skill was that he was able to take really complex transportation stories and plainly and effectively explain the issues. And if you don't think this affects you, it does: Reporting influences policy-making and reporters serve as watchdogs of the city's transportation agencies. Again, this is really terrible news.
