In a piece reminiscent of classic "60 Minutes," USC journalism student Matt Schrader exposes the dirty side of parking enforcement and street cleaning in downtown Los Angeles. Schrader found that while parking enforcement is out in droves ticketing cars, and mostly on street cleaning days (making the city $15,000 an hour!), the streets they're patrolling aren't even being cleaned. The best line of the piece is from a guy who got ticketed on one of those streets: "They have the manpower to ticket you, but they don't have the manpower to actually do the job."

GovTrack's text of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009

Clay Shirky on net positives and absolute positives? How do we get there and still give the it's due?

One of the first things that happened to deny Lee Frank her rights was the Denial of a DA Elder Victims Advocate a Federally Funded program that she was told Riverside County did not have. later the DA got a award for this in public. The Legislature put in place special rights and protections for elders that the officials prevented and denied to Lee Frank

An investigation into the City of Los Angeles's street cleaning double standard: failure to sweep streets on the designated days but strict enforcement of cars parked along them.

The court and DA office have been unbeleiveably corrupt. They really feel they are above the law. Lee Frank lost her husband and her income. The DA and Sheriff for political favors covered up the homicide and claim the victim funds. They told Lee she could not apply. So far zero help, and the killer and his parents were allowed to stalk Lee, her neighbors and family with zero hiding it. It is disgusting. I hope we can find a real American in the Goverment of CA, and USA. If you know one please ask him to help us. Thank you

The DA, Supervisors of Riverside County, Coroner, DA Victim Advocate, Sheriff, all made a false statement of fact into court to abstruct elder Lee Frank from Justicehttp://groups.diigo.com/group/government-transparency/rss

We were so happy in the early morning but a celebrating our new home. Who would of dreamed Nye Frank 68 would be attacked and dead by 10:30 am. He never got to sleep one night in the new home he built . He moved his shop in the day before and stated everything was in a perfect place.

Great, including amusing comments from a free-marketer claiming that none of this would have happened without any regulation at all.
