The Chats. Coordinating Council could not have picked a finer person. He is a true asset to not only…Read More the community but to its parks and surrounding areas and to anybody who is lucky enough to know him. Thousands of hours of dedicated hard work, a good humble honest person and an absolute top shelf pick...there is no better of a man to receive this award. Congradulations Bob.... from the darkside .....

Libi...you said the GOP must step to the plate and take care of business...Meanwhile 13 of the LA…Read More City Council Members are Dems, 1 (so called) Independent and 1 so called Rep (Englander). Mayor Villar is of course a Dem. San Jose was almost bankrupt and run by Dems. San Bernardino was run into bankruptcy by Dems giving away lavish union pensions, same for Stockton. Pensions plus retiree benefits is the #1 thing wrecking quality of life. Pensions + retiree benefits consume 43% of LA City's budget and that is why they laid off 5,300 works which has decimated our services. They cut our street sweeping from every 4 weeks on open routes to ev. 27 weeks. Only 3 men to clean the storm drains for the entire Valley. Only one enforcement officer for the property owners that are violating LAMC 56.08, the sidewalk & parkways ordinance that requires the adjacent owners to keep the parkways & sidewalks clean; therefore, Northridge looks so crappy that every single Thursday for 3 years a bunch of us go out and clean our violating neighbors' parkways & sidewalks and LA City's trash filled gutters & storm drains...yes, every week for 3 years. That is the only solution our Councilman gave us..live in blight or clean up the disgraceful mess ourselves. Do you see the taxpayers of Santa Clarita or Thousand Oaks cleaning their violating neighbors parkways or their City's streets? NO. That is because those cities are run by GOP, they are smaller (yes we tried to break away from corrupt LA City). I do my part cleaning up this City's mess, do you?

Glad you acknowledge LAUSD does a crummy job despite receiving almost the highest per pupil amount…Read More in the world. Arnold is more a Shriver Dem than a Republican. The Governors all had Democrat legislators so there is little that can be done by one man. Meanwhile LA City has been run into the ground by LA City council which has been predominantly Democrats for a long time. Tuesday we have a choice of Gruehl who has been bought & paid for by the DWP unions or Garcetti who has been bought & paid for by the Teachers and SEIU unions. Wendy received 6 times as much union due campaign contributions so I'll choose Garcetti because he will be only slightly less corrupt.

No, I despise drunk drivers but we need to appoint judges that will enforce existing laws.
How many…Read More times have we heard of a drunk driver killing someone only to find out they had a dozen priors but were out among us? As for the airheads that want to go after corporations that are making legal products... just another typical liberal evasion of personal responsibility. We already provide for the prosecution of those who continue to serve patrons beyond the point of intoxication.

There is a lot of missing information in these numbers. LA County has approximately 10 million…Read More people in it. They say people have access to 2.5 million jobs but do not mention how many people are vying for those jobs. It also, of course, does not mention the relative education and training of the residents versus the requirements and compensation packages of the jobs. I spent nearly a year looking for a middle-management job and finally found one 45 minutes away. In this town, that is a short commute.

Not only is the answer "no", it's "hell, no". "Accessability to jobs?"…Read More By spending hours in personal vehicles? The absolute lousiest public transportation for a city of this population? What were they smoking before they crunched the numbers? Is there some spreadsheet error we don't yet know about? Are they confusing apples with oranges? Sheesh! I used to take Metrolink when I worked, but I wouldn't exactly call it convenient nor inexpensive. Short trip to the train station, but.......and no, my employer did not kick in any $ like so many others did. That's life.

This study suffers from a classic error. It assumes that access translates into a job--which is…Read More often not the case. Because of high housing costs, many Angelinos can not afford to move and thus select long commutes over moving to a higher rent/ purchasing a new home nearer the job. There is also a second self selection re commutes-- individuals will stay with a job close by, even if it means giving up raises or advancement to avoid excessive commutes or finding new housing.

This is the new normal...run someone over and injure or kill them and then leave them lying dead or…Read More dying in the roadway like some road kill...think it might be an unlicensed driver, no insurance and maybe no legal status either...I'm just say'en probably good chance...why else run?
Steven M. Sweat May 17, 2013 at 09:20 am
This is tragic! With all the recent publicity from Cal METRO in their share the road campaign it is…Read More a shame that motorists are still not looking out for bike riders. It is more of a shame that someone would not stop after striking a bicyclist! http://bit.ly/12cETdn

The salary for a recycling truck driver is actually $63,000 in the public sector. However, why is…Read More the photo of a Phoenix, AZ truck when LA's smoothest have tons of photos online collecting blue bins?
