LA County Places 6 Cent Parcel Tax for Fire Department on March Ballot

And that would be 6 cent per square foot and would increase 2% per year.

"I've lost track of the number of funerals I've spoken at,'' Osby said, guessing it had been more than 50.

He mentioned seven suicides in the department, and International Association of Fire Fighters Local 1014 President Dave Gillotte told the board more firefighters have lost their lives to suicide than in fires in recent years.

 

Oh fuck them.

One hero was quoted after picking up Coors Light and a brisket from Costco saying “If I have to wash that million dollar rig after my workout one more time, I’m gonna kill myself!”

California firefighters are the Astros of public servants.

Not Lol Angeles.  But Lol Angeles County.  

I guess spending $100 million on a system only gets you 4 names at a time.

Beverly Hills Might Sue Over LA County's New Voting Machine Design

Quote

The issue? When a race appears on the ballot marking devices, only the first four candidates fit on the first screen. To see more choices, a voter has to hit a button marked "MORE" to choose from the next four contenders.

"But there's also a button that says 'NEXT,'" Gold said. "And if you hit 'NEXT' instead of 'MORE,' you're done, you move on to the next race." He called this a design flaw because a voter can skip ahead in the ballot without seeing the full list of candidates.

Can we just go back to paper ballots and pencils already?

They should make every candidate vote a write-in.

There would be a lot of votes for Donold Tramp and Berney Sandars.

Hey! We just delegitimized democracy! Look what happens when we work together!

Fun Fact: Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski lost a primary in 2010, but won as a write in. Her last name had to be spelled correctly for the votes to count.

It is illegal to whisper in someone’s ear while they are moose hunting in Alaska.

Nope. I quietly walk up to the moose and whisper in it's ear: "you're dead, pal"

VIDEO: Rubbish Fire, Explosion At LA Homeless Encampment Under Freeway Overpass

But but but the homeless.  I know, let's increase property taxes for the heroes, and take money out of the general budget for schools.  That should help the homeless problem.

And BTW.  I pass by that particular area a lot.  That place is a sty.  Usually I see police or the fire department there attending to something.  Culver City can't do anything because it's just outside of their city.  And LA won't do anything because it only knows how to spend and has no balls to enforce anything.

[Jay]

Yeah L.A. is fucked up.

O.C. to a lesser extent but on the same track.

Homeless enforcement is a loser for the cities. There's no money in it and the optics are bad.

Cities' survival depends on extracting as much money as possible from taxpayers.

The Queen Mary/torpedo option is still available. Just sayin’.

Culver City and Beverly Hills enforce it.  I hear Beverly Hills will stop and escort you out if you even look it.  

So they all pile up in cities that are pussies.

So they escort them out to other cities. Are the other cities supposed to escort them somewhere else? Like playing a game of hot potato with homeless people?
