L. A. Times covering the trials for the officers and the beating o. J. Dney king and then the simpson case. He always wrote with amazing speed and great pelicans. I got to know him in another capacity in the late 1990s when he was covering the charter reform process in los angeles as part of covering city government. I was chairing an elected commission in los angeles to revise the city charter. I saw not only was he amazingly talented but a reporter of incredible integrity. He believed the Los Angeles Times was not devoting enough to reform and quit his position in protest of this. He put his very job on the line because he believed in the importance of stories. Atthen as now was a star the times, and as a result, they gave tremendous attention to charter reform. I will always believe charter reform succeeded because of what jim newton did. A few years ago, he mentioned to me he was planning on taking time off to do a biography of earl warren. I thought it was a great idea, and that i
Exploring the american story. Like many americans, our staff is staying close to home due to the coronavirus. Next, a look at one of our cities tour visits. We are in the womens hallway of the Laramie Plains museum and islands and mansion. We begin to tell you the story of why wyoming was so unique, granting women this right to vote, hold property, and elected office. December 10 of 1869, our wyoming Territorial Legislature dictated this, and it was signed by governor campbell, granting women this act. So remarkable that we have a copy of this. They have it at the capitol, but we have this copy that is so extraordinary. You can see the writing that said what was happening in the west. Because of this act, december 10th, 1869, giving women full rights alongside men, we had the first woman voter in the world, we had the first woman bailiff, martha boys adkinson, the first woman on a jury, and we had all of wyomings women able to be in the legislature. We had Esther Hobart morris who was

Calling about something that continues to be ignored. About the drug dealing. The drug dealers, the street level corner drug dealers. They have been empowered by the actions of clothing or reducing our population and refusing any new incarceration. So what am i saying here . The police have been ineffective with their only tool being to yell at the people through a loud speaker to go home. Thats the strongest tool they have and occasionally they say it in spanish. That is all. I had somebody throw a whole glass of vodka on me so i could get into my gate. Theres nothing coming from the San Francisco Police Department at all and calling the nonemergency line, on redial constantly making it worse. They will call out the 909 for somebody to come and entir and a system. People that come to buy drugs you have 17 questions remaining. Welcome. Hello, this is magic altman, can you hear me . Supervisors, we need to have a commissions meeting for oversight. Interesting that ththe police co overse
Through city hall or set hours until 4 00 p. M. How is that for a nonlawyer on the fly .

So the board wouldnt be requiring the front door to be open, but you would be conditioning the reopening of the treasurer Tax Collectors Office on the city administrator allowing assets through the front door. What i said was either that theyre allowed access or that its there to redirect individuals to the growth street entrance. I dont want anybody to come to the front door didn and nobodyl be there and then theyll end up in some unfortunate situation. Thats what im trying to solve for here. Ive got it. I think thats provided that language or provided however language. That accomplishes that. Im not an attorney, but i think ive expressed my policy considerations. We will commit to having if the door is not open, we will have staff out there in orange, bright vests, easily id
