DMV Long Lines

Published by admin on Thu, 08/30/2018 - 4:41pm

A few weeks ago I went to the Long Beach DMV to renew my driving license. When I noticed the line was about 150 feet long I left and went to another DMV. There was a long line there too. I left and made an appointment but it took over a month to get in.

Dear overtaxed and underserved citizens of Long Beach and Signal Hill,

Published by admin on Fri, 08/24/2018 - 5:48pm

The Long Beach Water Department Commissioners will be meeting on August 30th to raise your utility rates yet again. And, sadly, the confused citizens of Long Beach voted to allow this tax when the mayor and council essentially blackmailed them with loss of basic services.....

Pet Euthanasia

The “no kill” movement’s insistence on making euthanasia statistics the supreme measure of an animal shelter’s worth is misguided and dangerous, and has yielded some inhumane consequences.

Regarding the Stephen Downing Column on July 20 – About 16 months ago I called 911 while watching a man with a drill trying to break into the lock of the upstairs apartment in back of me. Dispatch refused to send a car because I was not the owner. So much for “see something, say something.”

I would really like to thank the genius who thought taking Bellflower from Colorado to 7th Street down to two lanes. The short section between PCH and 7th is a joke and virtually impassable coming up from Colorado. And all this to add a bike lane?

Private unions help employees who are working with a management that is making a product or created a service to make a profit. The union tries to help the employees receive a decent amount of the profit the company makes for its members that benefits both the members and the company.

A Cautionary Tale

I was scammed May 11 at the Von’s Gas Station on Ximeno and Los Coyotes Diagonal. When I left the station I passed a large black van.  I was surprised when the van driver honked at me. But I went on my way and stopped at a store across the street.

Measure M

Published by admin on Thu, 06/21/2018 - 10:42am

It was clear from the beginning that passing Measure M would either raise utility rates, increase taxes or both. The misuse of fire and police personnel to promote this ill-conceived and deeply flawed measure did a real disservice to taxpayers.

Accident or Murder?

The recent two-part story by Stephen Downing about Dana Jones’ death was interesting and a good read. Thanks for providing this story for your readers. If there is incompetence in the LBPD homicide bureau, heaven help us. Who can we rely on?

Out of Touch

Reading Quotable Quotes in Readers Digest Kate Hudson’s quoted. “Make a bucket list, do everything on that bucket list; make another bucket list.” Does the average person need this kind of advice and do Hollywood elites live on our planet. No, is the answer to both questions.
