10 Random Albums To Be Thankful For
- Mayor Villaraigosa is in Sacramento today trying to make the best of the possible state raids on local tax dollars. “Our willingness to sacrifice on the State’s behalf does not represent an open-ended commitment or a blank check,” Mayor Villaraigosa said. “We must be sure that our hard-earned tax dollars make their way back to taxpayers as quickly as possible.” (via press release)
- With losing the political support of Sen. Harry Reid, the MagLev train between Vegas and Anaheim seems to be less and less a future reality. He's now backing a high speed train called the DesertXpress that would go between Sin City and... Victorville.
- Chrysler is the new Fiat, says the Supreme Court.
- What's the city's transportation committee looking into tomorrow? StreetsblogLA has the scoop: "Three motions would move just over sixteen and a half million dollars from the city's general transportation funds to advance the Green Line Extension direct to LAX, the downtown Streetcar project for Broadway and pedestrian safety improvements for the Foshay Learning Center after the Expo Line is completed.
- A fight over equal rights! It's Donald Trump vs. Rancho Palos Verdes.
- Laker Parade? We haven't won yet, but plans are being discussed, just in case, ya know?
- A baby gray whale has been hanging out in Marina Del Rey for about a week now and those curious enough to get a close look are worrying officials.
- To boom or not to boom? NASA is trying to figure out how to reduce the intensity of sonic booms. But to do that, they must go boom, boom, boom (Will.I.Am!) and then study, study, study. On Thursday, multiple sonic booms will be heard Thursday morning in the Antelope Valley produced by F/A-18s, according to NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center (via press release).

Harry Reid is a corrupt piece of shit. They all are, every single one of them in power.
If Villaboboso is so worried about the city running out of money, why did he sign a resolution from the City Council for the Jack Weiss Memorial Park that allocated $100,000 for scheduled overtime? You can read the document here:

How many other City projects have this waste built into them? And note that our new Comptroller, who's supposed to fight waste, seconded the motion. Some watchdog she is.
that doesn't come close to the $900,000 for the bikes taxies.
