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%?

Kids Get Country Lessons
A farmer, miner, fisher, rancher and firefighter came to Roosevelt middle school to talk to students about Montana: a crazy land with open sky and cows and a lack of tall buildings. The kids were skeptical.
On this trip to the Los Angeles area, Vincent is taking the rural visitors to Disneyland to give them a taste of urban entertainment.
“It’s a real shock for me to come to California,” Lorang told a group of seventh-graders at Roosevelt.
It's a shock for anyone to come to Disneyland.
“Do you have electricity there?” asked Gevorg Aroyan, 12, after seeing a photo of Lorang’s house and her adjacent barn.

Will Santa Monica Ever Get a Rail Line?
The Expo Light Rail project, which was suppose to run from downtown LA to Culver City, isout of money.
Apparently, no one counted on inflated inflation rates.
Three stations are planned for Santa Monica. And I'm sure the three people who were counting on LA area public transportation will be devestated.
