No economic hub can grow when most of the opportunities are slave labor service jobs created by globalists….they suck out every dollar from LA., the second armpit of California.

There is hope….McDonalds pays about 18 bucks per hour in the Dakotas….time of the year to call Ulysses about moving specials!

Colt:

I have only read Dakota Smith’s coverage of the “pothole tax” in the past month. If she is a strong reporter otherwise, then this is really baffling.

How can any of these stories not have as a central focus WHY L.A. can’t fund basic services? Mind-boggling.

Chris,

If you were a regular reader of Dakota Smith’s by-line in the quite-centrist Daily News, you’d know that she’s written extensively about L.A.’s budget woes vis a vis the outrageous pensions paid to both DWP and city workers. Your insinuation that she’s a shill for either public workers or for Garcetti isn’t proven by her reporting. You’re making a fair enough point about this one, short story, but in toto, she’s one of the fairest, most capable journalists writing in L.A.

By “free” John do you mean HUD housing, EBT cards, better schools, or our lower sales, business, and property taxes. I guess we can include all of the costs. 🙂

In reply to Rex the Wonder Dog!. The highly inflated pay, benefits, and pensions the RAGWUS feeders have endeared themselves too is on par with the neighborhood thief randomly stopping citizens as they work in their yards and telling them they have a great deal on surplus speakers or tools. You know it is stolen, because it can't be sold for such a low price, but the RAGWUS feeder doesn't care because "he deserves." :)

We’ll probably see another influx of people into free O.C. after fleeing socialist L.A.

In reply to Rex the Wonder Dog!. Rex, the poor need to pay for the excessive pay, benefits, and pensions the PS RAGWUS feeders demand from their bought and paid for politicians. The PS RAGWUS believes the citizens should fund their ill-gotten gains with purchases from Home Depot and Lowes. It will just lead to more blight and older cars. :)

YES, raise the sales tax, AGAIN, harm the poor with the most regressive- but easiest to raise- tax in America.

Because, “it is for the kids” 🙂
