Really, all we&#8217;re asking for is a little of the much promised transparency and accountability.  
It&#8217;s a season of ongoing budgetary nightmares. LA&#8217;s libraries are losing  one-third of their staff.  Even the city&#8217;s firefighters are taking budget hits.  However one of the few programs or agencies in all of Los Angeles [...]]]></description>

The Los Angeles City Council approved much of mayor Antonio Villaraigosa&#8217;s proposed budget on Monday afternoon.
Library hours were cut, day care eliminated, 761 city positions were slashed-&#8211;with a possible road back on some of the jobs if unions will approve a five percent pay cut to their employees.   For the moment, however, the [...]]]></description>

REVISITING THAT MILLION $ BAIL FOR THE SUPERGRAPHIC OUTLAW
If you&#8217;ll remember, last month,  I objected mightily to the one million in bail  that City Attorney Carmen Trutanich requested and got for supergraphic super-scofflaw, Kayvan Setareh, but then I began to wonder if the matter wasn&#8217;t a bit more complicated than I&#8217;d hastily portrayed.

Novelist, poet, memoirist, teacher, advocate Luis Rodriguez writes about City Attorney Carmen Trutanich&#8217;s ill-considered tagger injunction idea in Friday&#8217;s LA Times.
Luis is the author of the classic Always Running and something of an icon in many circles.   Although he&#8217;s a friend, I can honestly say that most anything he writes is worth reading, [...]]]></description>

Yesterday I complained that the city has not given funds to Homeboy Industries despite the fact  that the Homeboy programs are in trouble financially, and are regularly serving more people  than all the other city gang-violence-reduction programs combined.  (More on those numbers next week.)

When newly elected City Attorney Carmen Trutanich was sworn in on Wednesday, one of the more interesting things he announced was his plan to hire 200 investigators that would allow his office to have what amounts to its own small police force.  Trutanich hinted that such a group might, among other duties, provide a [...]]]></description>
