Afternoon Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Scene for Tuesday

LAFD Chief Brian Cummings. Trust Me!! All is good with LAFD's response times. 

Former LAFD Chief Millage Peaks with Mayor Antonio Villar.

The Voice Newspaper Editor Carlos Morales has been covering the cutbacks at LAFD since the Hillside Village Property Owners Association's protest at El Sereno's Station 16 some three years ago. Today, these are his comments to the Los Angeles Times article outing the LAFD flawed numbers.

In today's LA TIMES there is an article on the DELAYED RESPONSE TIMES OF LAFD responding to emergency calls - the report says in 2008 when the brown outs were being considered that LAFD responded with FIVE MINUTES 80% of the time (acceptable national average is 5-6 Minutes) The report says LAFD ONLY HIT THAT MARK 64% of the time, AND HAS DECREASED SINCE THAT PERIOD.
