Yes, let's. It is interesting to see where some sots have their priorities lie. For example, the sot from the Mayor's office who carries much in front of him makes it a priority to sit near the front of the train. (Smiles) Perhaps it is so he can make a quick exit, savvy? <BR/><BR/>Or how about the sot from a certain Westside hamlet who has the ability to make their priorities the emergencies of a certain clowncil member...one of these days the jerked knee will hit more than just the chin.

(Sighs) It must not take much practice to bend the law even if one has not had any practice in practicing law but instead employs the law and practices at being above the law, savvy?<BR/><BR/>(Looks at crew) What will be interesting indeed is seeing whether or not His Nibbs can resist a good photo op while practicing being in two places at once during on Triple 8 Day.

However, given the State's situation, there will be significant pressure to put a plan in place very soon and it is important to communicate strong opposition.<BR/>SITUATION:<BR/>* The State runs out of cash in early August, maybe by Aug. 4. They may be rushed to do something before then to prevent higher cost borrowing.<BR/>* The State is considering borrowing against Prop 1A, but also Prop 42, Prop 63, Prop 10, and Prop 49.<BR/>* DOF has prepared a scenario where they could justify taking Prop 42 without any obligation to repay.<BR/>* One scenarios is that the legislature agrees to release far more Bond money than originally planned, in an effort to back-fill other local funds taken. The problem is that voters were promised that this was additional money, not back-fill money.<BR/>RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:<BR/>1. Let the Governor know how important it is to the citizens of California for him to support local governments and oppose borrowing. He made these statements in both his budget and May revise proposals, as well as verbally on the Charlie Rose show.<BR/>2. We oppose any borrowing or take-away. We need to hit both in case that rumor concerning Prop 42 is correct.<BR/>3. Advise Budget Committee chairs and share the same concerns. The budget is out of their hands now, but they are still consulted in the on-going budget process.<BR/>4. Please convince the Governor to NOT pass an emergency statement concerning the budget, which is the first step to the borrowing action.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-45219506716407857702008-07-23T11:44:00.000-07:002008-07-23T11:44:00.000-07:00http://street-hassle.blogspot.com/2008/07/predator...http://street-hassle.blogspot.com/2008/07/predators.html<BR/><BR/>I very disappointed in my good friend Joe M, in posting a copy Mayor Sam's xenophobic, vile and racist comments about Special Order 40.
