In March, 2009, the voters get to vote for 4 (four) trustees on the
LA Community College Board. In the last election for LACC's Board, only 5% of the voters turned out. What a travesty! Surely, people must care!

Clients of Hillsides, a Pasadena children’s charity, the Sanchez* children will have a difficult time appreciating and enjoying the Christmas spirit this year. Last year, just days before Christmas, they were separated from their mother who was sent to jail. At the time, the six children believed she would only be gone for a short while and that the family would soon be reunited.
Fast forward to almost a year later and the Sanchez children still do not have their mother by their side. They will actually be without her for quite some time. The Sanchez family was referred to Hillsides Family Center, the Pasadena children’s charity that serves families in Los Angeles County, shortly after the mother’s arrest.

LACC is at it again. Yes, they are. After Measure A and Measure AA funds were depleted, the Los Angeles Community College District wants to
dig deep, deep, deep down into our now nearly empty pockets.

Los Angeles, CA. For almost three decades, the Edmund G. “Pat” Brown Institute of Public Affairs (PBI) has focused on state and community issues. The PBI is dedicated to the quest for social justice and equality of opportunity, enlightened civic engagement, and enhancing the quality of life for all Californians. It resumes the venerated California Agenda forum series later this month with a panel discussion on "Technology and the Future of Civic Engagement."
The PBI is also proud to announce that pre-event notification and post-event recaps have gone “2.0.” In addition to creating a Facebook group and fan page of the late Governor, the Pat Brown Institute now has a My Pat Brown Institute site for its events and issues as well as a group on LinkedIn, a MySpace page, and also Twitters. In just a few short weeks, Pat Brown’s Facebook friends grew into the triple digits and are expected to grow—especially with the panel discussion later this month on “Technology and the Future of Civic Engagement.”

It’s election season, and the first real weapon of partisanship has been fired. Although it was aimed at Senator John McCain, shrapnel has hit me and a number of my friends. I am speaking about the recent attempt by Democrats to put McCain under “house” arrest, arguing that because he cannot whip out facts about the number of homes he and his wife own, he is an out-of-touch fat cat, disconnected from common folk.

Los Angeles, CA. The Pat Brown Institute’s California (PBI) Agenda 2008 Lecture Series continues in its grand tradition with a talk by California Board of Equalization Chair, Judy Chu, on “Financing the Future of the Golden State." Once again, California faces severe budgetary crises and as policymakers debate solutions, we continue to witness the erosion of public services. Should schools and healthcare providers, who already face critical shortfalls, be forced to cut more and risk further decline in their quality of services? And with our state facing increased gridlock, should transportation funding be cut? Find out the answers to these questions and more tomorrow!

Duck and Cover: Incoming!
Canadian journalist, turned politician -- turned journalist again, Arthur Kent has a new lawsuit pending against the filmmakers of the recent Hollywood film “Charlie Wilson’s War”. The 2007 film, which did less than blockbuster box office (although a respectable 66 million was nothing to dismiss) grabbed mixed reviews. The movie stars Tom Hanks, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Julia Roberts. The story follows the exploits of a U.S. Congressman from Texas who helped facilitate the CIA and the U.S. support for the Afghan “mujahedeen” fighters who ultimately drove the former Soviet Union’s Red Army from Afghanistan. According to the film’s PR it’s “based on an unbelievable true story”. Mr. Kent begs to differ.
