Here are some topics I wrote down to choose from for recent Public Comments. But, of course with only two minutes, I only get to one or two a day. So here's the "Menu of Shadiness" Zuma Dogg orders from each morning at 10:00 AM in Council chambers.
* Lincoln Heights Planning Scheme
* Mayor wants LA City logo on LAUSD uniforms.
* LA Times covers Zuma Dogg's "Special Event Fee Waiver" Issue (including All Access)
* City is not allowed to build any more affordable housing without voter approval!
* City cannot limit speakers to five minutes on agenda items. If it is posted for a public hearing, you have to allow a speaker. The REAL problem is twenty times the items on one agenda. THIS IS A BROWN ACT VIOLATION AND WILL COME BACK TO HAUNT THE CITY! (Mark the date!)
* See Zuma Dogg @ City Hall on Wed 7/1/08 to sign Jamiel's Law Petition.
* Foreclosure and Inflation effects have not even started yet. LA City will cave like a house of card.
* Union will never see 25% raises because it's based on City's revenue projections which they will not come close to hitting as we all now know!
* DWP Rate increase will be 30%-50% over 3 years, not 9% (and could actually double!)
* DWP GM David Nahai tops LA employee salary list at $310,000.
* LAPD writes ticket at Venice Beach for Hannah Montana stand-up display for being, "too tall."
* LAPD writes ticket at Venice Beach for mic stand being over 4 ft tall. (Even though only Verne "Mini-me" Troyer's mouth is that low.)
* Dr. Deming's 14 Points is the ONLY solution to save the city. (You'll see! The City WILL be forced to finally embrace these 14 points! But the stubborn mayor will wait until things get much, much worse and then say he didn't know about Deming.)
* Jack Weiss shows for a Council meeting for the first time in recent memory!
* Know English if you attend LAUSD. (Mandarin Chinese can wait!)
* NON-PROFIT RACKETEERING IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM DRAINING THE CITY!!!
* NON-PROFIT RACKETEERING IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM DRAINING THE CITY!!!
* NON-PROFIT RACKETEERING IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM DRAINING THE CITY!!!
* $26 Million in Prop 1C Emergency Shelter money goes to Dubai's Grand Ave Park!
* Mayor using Commission Appointments for patronage/crony paybacks.
* WATER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET DEMAND OF CITY'S (DUMB) SMART GROWTH!!!
* City will not be able to afford to provide basic services like police and fire responses and trash removal. The high price of gas will hurt the City, too. And with the economy grinding to a halt, that means the City's revenue stream is grinding to a halt.
* Downtown will never work the way they want it to at City Hall.
* GRAND AVENUE PROJECT (Where do I even start?)
* CRA is the biggest bamboozle in the County. It's bankrupting the City!
These are some of the topics I will be choosing from for tomorrow's Public Comment as seen on City TV 35 at 10A, 7:30P & 12mid (and will be blogging about this weekend). Please come on down to City Hall and cover some of the material I will not be able to get to!
