NEW HALF-CENT SALES TAX COMING TO NOVEMBER '08 BALLOT?: Zuma Dogg says, "Hell Yeah!" He has heard that City Council is preparing to support a new half-cent sales tax for transportation projects and want to jam it on the November 2008 ballot. Maybe this is news everyone knows about already...otherwise, sorry Zuma Dogg's ZumaTimes has to be the one to let you know that they wanna put a half-cent sales tax on the November ballot, so that they can waste it on front-end loaded, patronage transportation projects that won't accomplish anything but enhancing the wallets of the people who get to siphon a percentage of this new tax.
LOS ANGELES CITY PARKING METER RACKETEERING: First make sure the meters don't work, so when people load them with quarters, no time is added to the meter; or you have to spend $1.75 to make five minutes appear on the meter...then you get a ticket for not having enough time; or you simply have to leave with business unfinished because you just put all your money in the meter and only got three minutes of time.
So the city makes much added money by having people have to spend four times the amount of money to make the meter budge...THEN, they get money for the tickets when people are forced to walk away with much less time than they planned on.
FAILED METER BAMBOOZLE: More and more meters are under "failed" status around the city and people have been allowed to park at failed meters, without paying, as long as they still followed the restrictions.
For example, if it is a one hour meter, you have been able to park for free for the hour, at a failed meter, but that does not mean you may keep your car parked all day long at the meter.
BUT NOW...DOUCHARAIGOSA put signs up saying that if you park at a failed meter you can still get a ticket. Great! It's the City's problem for having the failed meter, but now, they are also removing a city parking space. I thought we were trying to make parking EASIER for people in the city.
BUT YOU ARE PUNISHING THE PEOPLE ACROSS THE BOARD DUE TO YOUR FAILURE, LOSEROSA! You are aware of the problem, because I spoke with your transportation person in charge of parking meters and they admitted that it was indeed a problem that they are aware of. SO FIX IT ASSHOLARIGOSA!
CAN YOU ACCOMPLISH ONE SINGLE THING WHILE IN OFFICE YOU LOSER MAYOR!
Now go plant some trees, illegally take over schools, campaign relentlessly for a loser presidential candiate with no shot, promise 1000 new cops, fix the traffic, fix the gang problem, clean up skid row, fill every pot hole, and promise everything else under the sun as "Priority number one", then deliver nothing.
So much for your one-way corridors. BIG PROMISES THAT NEVER HAD A SHOT UNLESS YOU PULL SOMETHING SHADY. But the judge sees through your shady ass, every time!
And congrats on Grand Ave Project getting pushed back again. I told you that loser project would never happen as promised. Hey Villar, why not had Witte some more CRA money and subsidies.
On American Top 40, I'm Casey Kasem...We're up to our long distance dedication about a corrupt, one term, politically-niched mayor who pissed off every human being who ever supported him. Here's Naked Eyes, with "Promises Promises".
And the mayor wants you to know that he represents more than just the immigrants from Mexico. He is here to tell you he represents "all people living in Los Angeles". If you think he only about a pro-immigration agenda, and having the middle-class pay for it all, the mayor wants you to know that he has never stated that publicly (since he has been mayor).
