In Tuesday&#8217;s LA County Board of Supervisor&#8217;s meeting, the Sups will very likely approve another $7.9 million to help improve matters at the county&#8217;s troubled probation department.  
The money is slated to go toward satisfying the agreement the board made with the Department of Justice in 2008 to improve conditions in probation&#8217;s various juvenile [...]]]></description>

Tuesday, the LA County Board of Supervisors voted to create a multi-agency task force in order to investigate the health and safety issues surrounding raves&#8212;in particular raves that are held  in public venues.   
The measure was proposed by Zev Yaroslavsky and Don Knabe.  Mark Ridley-Thomas suggested that some kind of young [...]]]></description>

While the flow of revelations about the ghastly state of LA County&#8217;s juvenile probation system appears to have slowed for the moment, LA County&#8217;s five supervisors can&#8217;t seem to agree about how to fix the colossally broken department.  
Last week, there was an attempt to pass three reform-minded motions, which stalled due to the [...]]]></description>

Activists take lead roles to reopen Burke&#8217;s failed monument
I long ago gave up any hope that Yvonne Burke would be indicted for her failure to stop the dying and maiming that eventually forced King-Drew Medical Center to close in 2007.

As we remain glued to the dual drama of the bailout and the election (and the debate-or-no-debate cliffhanger that is John McCain&#8217;s latest Hail Mary ball toss), let&#8217;s take a break to look at an elections-related drama closer to home.
