@LBCMtgNotes @RichRichcharley An astute observation.
@LBCMtgNotes You did a great job - the metro item will translate easily into a SNL skit - with spin off potential for a hit comedy series - As the Cogs Turn… Tuesday Nite at LBC
@LBCMtgNotes No thanks to city council. None of this would’ve happened without the dogged efforts of @riverparkcoali1
Public commenter at the #LBC Council Meeting, didn't catch her name but she identified herself as part of #LiBRE and the #PeoplesBudgetCoalition: "A majority of us are renters, you need to listen to us and meet our needs!"
In a congregate homeless shelter you have "no ability to focus on the repairs you need to make to yourself. In a tiny room, you can close the door in your own space -- It’s almost like a cast on a broken bone," says one resident 🏠🩹dailybreeze.com/2022/09/06/tor…
Shout out to @LBCMtgNotes for this amazing run thru of public comment supporting #PeoplesBudgetLB tonight!
@RexRichardson said the current budget proposals are just a continuation of the presentations during the special meeting earlier today. He's allowing limited public comment, but each person only gets 30 seconds to comment.
Gotta love my amiga Marlene, a homeowner and landlord that goes hard for the unhoused and for renters' rights
Marlene Alvarado is "not a NIMBY." "We spend 48% of our budget on police, we have not solved the homeless problem ... we need to spend more money on homelessness and renters rights." "You passed this draconian police budget. We live in a police state!"
@LBCMtgNotes Biggest item tonight is whether or not to buy the Angels.
If enough of us protest, "the council *can't* move forward."
If the increase goes through, the report says rates will still be lower than many other cities in LA County. Under Proposition 218, if a majority of the 118,450 residents affected by the increase oppose the hike before the end of the public hearing, the council can't move forward
Breaking: Today was my last day at the @SignalTribune. I'm leaving the paper to become a section editor at the Leisure World Weekly, because I love seniors and I also love making a living wage.
You'll still see me over at @LBCMtgNotes, because I've already spent two years covering council and I couldn't imagine what I would rather do on a Tuesday night. And I plan to continue freelancing in Long Beach once I'm settled into my new position.
"Make it real or forget about it" - Anna Christensen to the LB City Council in re to the Climate Action & Adaptation Plan (CAAP)
Anna Christensen says CAAP is "climate appeasement." "CAAP's baby steps will never get us to the climate goals essential for our city or our planet." "CAAP sees sea level rise as a real estate problem."
@LBCMtgNotes I'm glad that we both felt that this was important information to tweet out to the public.
City Council members when the Parks Department is pissed about being underfunded every year
CM Daryl Supernaw addressed this and seemed to be annoyed by the council being named as a "threat" and asked management to find out why that was included.
My most recent piece looks at a controversial deal #LongBeach approved to turn a luxury apartment building into middle-income housing using millions in tax subsidies—a deal that has a whiff of cronyism and which some say is a boondoggle. forthe.org/oceanaire
