Another GOP Sex Scandal

Over in Orange County, Jeffrey Ray Nielsen, a conservative activisit, is going to jail for using two young boys for sexual acts.

Jeffrey Ray Nielsen—the well-connected Orange County conservative activist who claimed the so-called liberal media, specifically the Weekly, was out to get him by publishing a series of exposés on his pedophile activities—finally admitted on Dec. 5 that he used two boys for sex since the early 1990s.

I wonder why they were out to get him? This stuff is just sick.

Pasadena: Third Highest Rents in the County

Santa Monica and Marina del Rey are higher.

Average sale price: $824,618

Ruiz noted that having a city goal for affordable housing development is “unheard of” and “cutting edge.”

“It just doesn’t happen.” she explained. “Most cities reject the entire notion of affordable housing.”

Pasadena City Manager Cynthia Kurtz recommended to the Council that the city establish a goal that 15 percent, or about 8,600, of the city’s 57,590 housing units be affordable units.

So we can limit are middle class to only 15%?
