Mayor Sam's Hotsheet for Thursday

The effort to pass Jamiel's Law is having a positive effect.  Los Angeles County has hired additional staff who will be responsible for interviewing jailed gangbangers about their immigration status. Those here illegally will be turned over to the Feds.  Kudos to the Sheriff and the Board of Supervisors!

A portion of Reseda in the San Fernando Valley has been renamed Reseda Ranch.  The purpose of this is to prevent developers from developing the large lots that dominate the area.  Not sure if this will work; imagine if you worked hard to buy some property and when the time came you couldn't realize a decent return on your investment because of the efforts of some dumbass ex-motorcycle cop riding on a horse.

Blogger David Markland reports that theives posing as DWP and construction workers are ripping people off in Hollywood.  Markland has video of a crook dressed in hard hat and vest stealing a bicycle near his home.

Wednesday HaikuLA introduced Mayor Sam readers to Leryn Franco, javelin thrower for Paraguay in the Beijing 2008 Olympics.  If you want to see more of this athletic hottie you can click here and here.
