Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

In late May, HBO premiered it's original movie Recount, something this author thinks is an award worthy flick. It looks into the 2000 election woes in Florida, something the film does extremely well (it's on HBO Demand if you missed it). And if the Sunshine State's rainy month in the spotlight was not enough, Super Tuesday 2008 in California had its own troubles (fortunately, a good portion was corrected).

Today, Californians go out to vote, mostly for for state representatives, but also two major propositions and one heated contest in LA County's 3rd District. Good luck and God speed.
