Faux Disaster Assistance
State Employment Development Department employees told me they issued a “Notice of Pandemic Unemployment Assistance Award” and then deny benefits and they said they do it all the time. I reached out to ascertain the unemployment code on this contradiction; not one response from Gov. Newsom. Thousands of applicants may have received EDD (PUA) award letters that the EDD refuses to pay out.
The site disasterassistance.gov states, “No disasters declared for individual assistance were found for” Los Angeles, California. The city plans to spend over $88 million for youth programs, neighborhood beautification, job and business programs, nonprofit services; $14 million for policing alternatives, administrative $4,250,680.35 out of $81 million given to the Homeless Services Authority and eviction defense services. A total 500 households of single parents in Curren Price’s district may receive $1,000 a month for 12 months. (In 2015-2019 there were 1,383,869 households in LA). Is East Los Angeles excluded? $7.75 million to pay for “unarmed response” to homelessness and nonviolent calls. Surely there is no shortage of money in Los Angeles. A federal Judge in December 2020 (case 2:20-cv-02291 filed 3/10/20) said he did not expect city officials and homeless advocates to help more than 60% of the homeless. Millions of dollars but I bet not one penny for mandatory affordable housing.
I support minimum mandatory 85% across the city affordable housing to include extremely low income, very low income, and low and moderate income tenants.

Re: The Dark Side of Carson’s New Development
Great title for that article. Shame most of it was just printing a bunch of lies from City officials with zero attempt to confirm or deny what you were told.
I, and a few others, could clarify all of that, yet nobody searched us out, to my knowledge.
Claire from the article could have set up a meeting, so your paper didn’t come off as a rag, that simply prints city press releases.
The part you did do well, however, were the interviews with Claire and Patricia. Kudos for that, at least.
Feel free to contact me if you’d like a more realistic picture of this threat not only to our parks, but eventually to many of the 20-plus other parks in the City of Carson.

We published a follow up to “The Dark Side of Carson’s New Development” at www.randomlengthsnews.com that goes into detail how COVID-19 lockdown restrictions and altered Brown Act rules eased the path for the Imperial Avalon development to a fait accompli.

Three Hours and 19 Minutes
U.S. Army Lieutenant General Charles Flynn needs to be taken into custody immediately by the FBI for facilitating the right-wing domestic terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6th.
Contact FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C. at 202-324-3000, and tell the FBI to arrest Lt. Gen. Charles Flynn as an accessory to the murder of Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick.
Charles Flynn is the younger brother of convicted felon and fellow insurrectionist traitor Michael Flynn, the Russian asset and National Security Adviser for Vladimir Putin’s puppet Donald Trump. Trump (of course you will recall) is the disgraced, defeated, deranged, delusional former president.
Three hours and 19 minutes went by before traitor Trump’s intransigent Pentagon (publicly shamed by the television news networks during disapproving live coverage) was finally forced to send National Guard troops in response to the domestic terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol by pea-brained, pro-Trump psychopaths who insist they were following demonic Donald’s demands.
Cop-killing conservatives like Charles Flynn belong in prison, not in uniform! A court-martial will be unnecessary once Lt. Gen. Flynn is dishonorably discharged from the U.S. Army, which should have happened on January 7th. Flynn should have already been arrested and in jail without bail awaiting trial on charges of sedition and facilitating the capital murder of a police officer at the U.S. Capitol. There will be no presidential pardon this time for this Flynn brother.
Charles Flynn needs to be tried transparently and publicly as soon as possible in a civilian court of law, as opposed to the usual Defense Department coverup of crimes committed by those in command. An inexplicable delay of 3 hours and 19 minutes only means one thing — Lt. Gen. Charles Flynn is guilty as hell! Lock Flynn up!
