The $20 million project would include work across the east-west thoroughfare that spans multiple cities, including North Long Beach.

Artesia Boulevard is a heavily-trafficked strip of road running through Compton, Bellflower, Paramount, Artesia and Long Beach.

Hews Media Group-Cerritos News has learned that Assemblymember Cristina Garcia (D-Bell) has authored a bill (AB 1195) in yet another attempt to disenfranchise millions of L.A. County voters related to the county’s water agencies.
Unlike the corrupt method Garcia used to try and send Central Basin into receivership with SB 625, a water agency found to have a $3 million operating profit after that bill failed, Garcia is going after the three big fish in L.A. County.
Sources are telling HMG-CN that Speaker Rendon’s Assembly attorney Alf Brandt is helping Garcia.
Brandt helped Garcia with the two bills aimed at Central Basin, one which put incompetent appointed officials who caused havoc on the Central Basin Board (AB 1794) and then, when that take over didn’t work, Garcia and Brant authored the receivership bill, SB 625.
