I am protesting and in disagreement with a proposed increase to the Long Beach refuse service charges. My [Nov/Dec] bill shows the day rate as $0.8036.
Long Beach hired a lawyer to tell them what they wanted to hear, and for a fee, the lawyer obliged. Text messages are like phone calls?! No, of course not, and everyone knows it – at least, everyone who has ever used e-mail.
So Long Beach is projecting a $9,300,000 million budget shortfall. I wonder if the $3,000,000 + fund to defend illegal immigrants or the approximately 200 city employees who received between $200,000 to $300,000 in pay last year has anything to do with it.

I’ve had my differences with the Los Cerritos Wetlands Trust people in the past. Specifically it was about the treatment the owner of the dirt lot next to the Belmont Shore Mobile Estates received.
I haven’t found out who let the dogs out. Where’s the beef? How to get to Sesame Street? Why Dora doesn’t just use Google Maps. Why do all flavors of fruit loops taste exactly the same or how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?
I have spent four decades in public service focused on one mission: protecting the people of Los Angeles County. I grew up as the son of immigrant parents; my dad was a laborer and my mom was a domestic worker.
If you cannot qualify for a library card, you should not be able to use the library. This is a services provided to the taxpayers and if you are not a taxpayer, then maybe you should become one.
A grease blockage in a sewage line in Glendale caused the spill of 10,400 gallons of sewage into the L.A. River, but the effect was felt downstream in Long Beach.
