Hey City of Los Angeles, Hey Mayor Villaraigosa…. Budget Shortfall?

March 4th, 2010


The ruckus over the seemingly insurmountable budget shortfall for the upcoming fiscal year for the City of Los Angeles looks to be somewhat unjustified in my opinion, a statement which I base upon the 2009 - 2010 Budget Summary from the Mayor’s Office. A reported two-hundred million dollars ($200,000,000) deficit for the upcoming fiscal year seems like a ‘no-brainer’ as to how to fairly distribute such a shortfall – especially in light of six or seven billion dollars of approximate city revenues ($7,000,000,000) and despite the absurdity of the amounts in which we speak.

Anyway, not to demean the issue, but a solution doesn’t really seem all that difficult to see – again, in my opinion. To begin with, where did the one and a half billion dollars ($1,500.000.000 - or bond) come from for the recent and on-going upgrades to the LAX Airport?

Kill Kitty Kill Band

December 14th, 2009


Last Saturday night in Hermosa Beach, CA, I witnessed a band essentially get thrown out of a bar. The band was named Kill Kitty Kill. I have to admit, I think this was a personal first first for me. Well, I suppose the moral of the evening was dont book a female punk band when seeking a techno / hip-hop type of sound. :)
