City Hall has lost its way and betrayed the public trust: Sunland-Tujunga vs. Home Depot
Ron Kaye LA
For many months I have been reporting on the antics of Home Depot in Sunland-Tujunga. I have met and interviewed dozens of residents and community leaders who truly care about the area they live and shop in.

New CAO Forms
LACityWatch
Anonymous pointed out to us that the CAO and our friend Tony Villar are demanding that departments justify any time they deny a furlough request:
Kind of amusing. But one thing we noticed is that the form is in PDF format, interesting considering the City "standard" is PureEdge's XFD format! We have personal knowledge of other departments requesting that they be allowed to use PDF forms, for better industry acceptance, and the Document Management Steering Committee, chaired by the CAO, denied them that ability because it wasn't the standard! I suppose rules only apply to other departments?
