LA City Charter Reform Commission just voted to recommend expanding the Los Angeles City Council from 15 to 23-31 seats!!
This will be HUGE for reducing the influence of money in our local politics.

How much of the perceived difference in lifestyle preferences between the US and Europe can be explained by building codes? Could it be that fewer Americans choose apartments, because America’s peculiar building codes make apartments expensive?🧵

In the ideal world, California's public revenues would be a more balanced three-legged stool of
- income tax
- sales tax
- property tax
But unfortunately the third leg of the stool was eaten by mad selfish voters in 1978

An interesting thing here, given the news, is that the secretary of education is the defendant in a suit accusing her of turning a blind eye to the operations of a child molestation ring that, there is no dispute, operated within her business from the 1970s to the 1990s
This is a direct attack on our children & our future.
At a time when we need to be doing more to prepare our kids to compete in the global economy, Trump is going after the agency that strengthens American education. Once again, he's helping our adversaries & competitors.
