Thats a lie made up by the people who advocate on behalf of the homeless because its an easy emotional picture that can easily be "sold" and advanced to society at large. This argument makes it easier to secure sympathy and funding. <BR/><BR/>This is why on any given morning you will see far more people waiting for buses at say 9th and Broadway or 7th and Main than at San Pedro and 7th or San Pedro and 5th. There are just as many people living in both areas, but the people more towards the historic core area are family people on their way to a job.

In Reversal, Waxman Seeks to Repeal Ban on Red Line Tunneling<BR/>In a boost for Red Line extension, Rep. Henry Waxman leads a campaign to reverse his 1985 measure. But many obstacles remain.<BR/>By Noam N. Levey<BR/>Times Staff Writer<BR/><BR/>September 19, 2006<BR/><BR/>WASHINGTON — Two decades after the federal government effectively blocked construction of a subway to Los Angeles' Westside, Congress is on the verge of clearing a major obstacle to the long-deferred project.<BR/><BR/>At the urging of Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Los Angeles), the House is expected Wednesday to repeal a ban on tunneling through West Los Angeles, a key step in Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's drive to bring the Red Line from its current Mid-Wilshire terminus to the sea.<BR/><BR/>Senate approval is expected soon afterward.<BR/><BR/>"The progress of Mr. Waxman's legislation is great news for Los Angeles," the mayor said in a statement Monday, adding that it would "allow the city to renew its partnership with the federal government to reduce traffic congestion."<BR/><BR/>2. LOS ANGELES -- More than 2,000 homeless people living in Los Angeles will receive $100 million in financial assistance to find permanent homes, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced Monday.<BR/><BR/>The funds come from the Los Angeles Housing Authority's Section 8 program, which focuses on helping families move from transitional housing and emergency shelters into permanent homes.<BR/><BR/>"Los Angeles has the ignominious distinction of being the homeless capital of the nation," Villaraigosa said. "Providing permanent housing for more than 2,000 families does not solve the crisis, but it will make a huge difference in the lives of these mostly women and children who can begin to stabilize their lives" <BR/> <BR/><BR/>Villaraigosa also announced the creation of the "Skid Row Families Demonstration Project," a city-county collaboration to move 500 homeless families into neighborhoods away from downtown's Skid Row. The city will contribute $18 million, while the county will kick in $6 million for the program.<BR/><BR/>Last week, Villaraigosa announced that the Los Angeles Affordable Housing Trust Fund will receive a $100 million investment from the city for a second year in a row, with half of the funds going toward providing permanent housing for the city's homeless. <BR/><BR/>3. Gov. Signs Mayor's Dream Into Law<BR/>In a bill-signing ceremony at the Central Library, Villaraigosa fulfills a hard-fought goal: gaining clout over the city's public schools.<BR/>By Duke Helfand and Howard Blume<BR/>Times Staff Writers<BR/><BR/>September 19, 2006<BR/><BR/>Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger handed Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa a much-anticipated prize Monday, signing a law that will give the mayor substantial control over the Los Angeles public schools.<BR/><BR/>Appearing together for a bill-signing ceremony at the Los Angeles Central Library, the officials said the change would bring new accountability to a system that fails students, teachers and parents.<BR/><BR/>"With this bill, the community will gain more control over its schools," Schwarzenegger told the audience packed into the children's reading room. "We will move graduation numbers up. We will move test scores up. And we will move our dropout rate down." <BR/><BR/>Villaraigosa, who was flanked by more than three dozen ministers, parents and politicians, called the effort to pass the bill the toughest political battle of his career, but added that it was only a beginning.<BR/><BR/>"Together we are standing up for the idea that we are all accountable for the state of public education in the city of Los Angeles," Villaraigosa said. "We all have a responsibility to lead this historic journey."<BR/><BR/><BR/>What did Zuma did today -- oh yeah he bought some soap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-1158652533699167582006-09-19T00:55:00.000-07:002006-09-19T00:55:00.000-07:00Ah guys be nice to Vladimir Bierko okay.

Arnold Schwarzenegger to Los Angeles on Monday was an amazing illustration of how Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's school-reform efforts have turned the political world upside-down. <BR/>Here was a Republican governor, six weeks shy of Election Day, enacting a law that will give L.A's Democratic mayor extensive control over the Los Angeles Unified School District. <BR/><BR/>More remarkable still, the bill - AB 1381 - was supported by the very teachers unions that were Schwarzenegger's sworn enemies only a year ago. <BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, the unions' closest allies - members of the school board who owe their election to union clout - weren't even invited. Nor was LAUSD Superintendent Roy Romer. <BR/><BR/>The anti-reformers were so miffed about losing power that they wouldn't even let Villaraigosa and Schwarzenegger use a school for the occasion, thus forcing the two politicians to descend on the Central Library instead. <BR/><BR/>But while members of the LAUSD old guard pouted - and planned lawsuits to stymie reform and prevent the kids from getting a better education - the signing ceremony continued, ushering in what most people hope is a new era for education in Los Angeles. <BR/><BR/>"Today we are proclaiming a victory for the students of LAUSD and their parents," Schwarzenegger said, congratulating Villaraigosa for "having the vision and fortitude to put our children first with this effort to increase accountability in L.A. public schools." <BR/><BR/>He can say that again. <BR/><BR/>Villaraigosa certainly isn't lacking in vision or guts. Taking on the educational establishment was a politically risky and unnecessary move - but exactly what his city needed and wanted most. <BR/><BR/>The mayor has boldly taken responsibility for turning around L.A.'s schools, and he has built a far-flung, diverse coalition to make it possible. <BR/><BR/>It won't be easy, but the moment for real education reform couldn't be better. The public is engaged, and a charismatic mayor is in control, with a popular governor behind him. <BR/><BR/>And the political establishment is upside-down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-1158652215656858022006-09-19T00:50:00.000-07:002006-09-19T00:50:00.000-07:00Ah guys be nice to Vladimir Bierko okay.

The Mayor DOES have his neck out on the line with AB 1381.<BR/><BR/>Before I knew a thing about it, I thought the Mayor got "tagged" with this albatross for some reason, then I found out he WANTED to do it. And it's practically impossible to win now, cause it's only made things worse (more beuracracy, not less), and it's an uphill battle, at best. At this point he must know his political career is over anyway, so let's hijack LAUSD. Here's what we'll do: We'll take control of the Superintendent, put him in charge of the BILLIONS UPON BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, won't mandate an inspector general to watch over the person in chrge of ALL spending , including $20 2/3 BILLION in facilities money (repair/new construction), then we'll let him spend up to $250,000 for anything he/she wants, and isn't required to tell LAUSD, or anyone at all. And anything the Super spends OVER $250,000 ONLY REQUIRES 45 DAY NOTICE...HOWEVER It IS ONLY NOTICE. (no input or accountability from LAUSD, or anyone, like the parents).<BR/><BR/>So watch for these low ball contracting bids the Mayor's Superintendent (after all Maor gets approval or rejection rights, right) hands out. Cause when you can keep tacking on $250,000 here and $250,000 there, the cost goes up real quick...And that's how a politician, who must know his re-election chances are over, sticks his neck out for a plan destined to lose, under this Bill, so you take the kids milk money, and facilities money, on the way out.<BR/><BR/>Next question or comment, please.Zuma Dogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13654815682490506196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-1158649283325006582006-09-19T00:01:00.000-07:002006-09-19T00:01:00.000-07:00The Troll can't.
