Mayor Sam's Hotsheet for Tuesday

Okay, enough of the jokes and onto the real news. Happy April Fool's Day!

Walter Moore is advocating for "Jamiel's Law," in honor of Jamiel Shaw, an innocent high school student who was killed by illegal alien gang members. The law will end "sanctuary city" policies at least for gang members and criminals and allow police to question criminal aliens, ones that Mayor Villaraigosa says don't exist. Maybe the Mayor needs to ask the community. Moore says he will announce some high level support for the effort Tuesday morning.

Our favorite ex-motorcycle cop Dennis Zine joins with Zuma Dogg and State Senator Carole Migden in supporting medical marijuana. Good move.

Developer J.H. Snyder announces plans for the final phase of the NoHo Commons development at the North Hollywood Red Line Station. Among the features a Laemmle Theatres, restaurants and office space.

Over at MS2 The CW (no not the television network) recounts his personal account of the mess that was transporting fans from Dodger Stadium to the Coliseum for an anniversary exhibition game.

Discovered a great local sports related blog: Sons of Steve Garvey. A handful of apparent anony-bloggers cover the ins and outs of the Big Blue Machine (that's the LA Dodgers for those of you non-natives) from the fan point of view.

VoIPNews covers LA implementing the shady Proposition S phone tax on "voice over internet protocol" phone service, apparently in contravention of federal law. Hey that never stopped Tony and The Clown(cil)s.

When does a blog post about soccer giant David Beckham and his diva former Spice Girl wife Victoria become a political story? When of course it recalls the day when Beckham was introduced to LA fans and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa received a solid chorus of boos from those in attendance.
