Zuma Dogg's "Plan B" for Janice Hahn's "Parcel Tax" on property owners: Since it is basically a given that Janice Hahn has picked the WORST possible time to place a tax on property owners for whatever reason, Zuma Dogg would like to offer a "Plan B" to Hahn/Cardenas since ZD's market research basically confirms that the tax WILL NOT BE APPROVED BY 66% of VOTERS ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT! (Sorry kiddies, in ZD's book the discussion is now over, so now the topic must be moved to "what else can be done?")SOLUTION: If you want to move ahead with the concept of "gang intervention and youth development" (non-profit funded) programs, how else can they be funded besides the property tax (since it isn't going to pass)?
TAKE THE MONEY SEIZED ON BUSTS and use THAT money to fund the programs (drug money, property, etc) . And I'm sure all the people who are a bit "miffed" that taxpayer money is going into these programs (concerns of fraud, waste and abuse), perhaps it wouldn't piss you off as much if the money wasn't coming from your pocket, but from money seized on busts. THEN, you take the money and put it back into the community.
CITY COUNCIL TO ENACT THIS IMMEDIATELY WITH A "YES" VOTE AS A COUNCIL MOTION! It would not have to go before voters on the ballot. So they can do this right away, and if voters vote "yes" on the property tax in November, too (LOL), they would have that money, too.
JANICE SHOULD HAVE WAITED: I know Janice has been in line for a couple elections now, waiting for the chance to put this property tax on the ballot. Unfortunately, this is an even worse time, with half cents MTA tax; County's new "Son of Prop S" Tax; LAUSD $7 BILLION DOLLAR BOND (yes $7 Billion) that ZD says has a much better chance of passing (ahead in line of property tax in ZD's "focus group"); plus all the other stuff the County and State have in mind for the ballot; AND inflation and hard economic times for all except Richard and Eli -- AND JANICE NEEDED TO TELL THE PEOPLE PUTTING HER UP TO THIS THAT SHE SHOULD HAVE WAITED.
Because now a whole bunch of people inside City Hall are really unhappy about her timing -- and the fact that this one may be the straw that breaks the camel's back -- and forces voters to, "Just Say No To All Of This Insanity" (Aka: avalanche of taxes and bonds) that are being bamboozled onto voters. AND REMEMBER, it never goes to what they say.
SO I HOPE CITY COUNCIL CAN START TO GEAR UP TOWARD THE IDEA OF USING SEIZED MONEY FROM LAPD CRIMINAL ENFORCEMENT/RAIDS TO FUND THE CRIME REDUCTION EFFORTS CITYWIDE!
TAKE BACK THE STREETS!
REDEVELOP THE COMMUNITIES!
