To the editor: In addition to the reforms discussed in your April 12 editorial about L.A. City Hall's corruption problem, I've got one more. Mayor Karen Bass, whose election I supported as a donor and volunteer, should henceforth refuse to endorse any City Council member who is under an ethics investigation. This spring, she endorsed Distric 12 incumbent John Lee, despite the fact that he faces 10 ethics charges in the case that sent his predecessor and former boss Mitchell Englander to prison....
Now is the time for the Judeo-Christian community to unite and send a message with our votes that America will no longer tolerate the evil and insanity of the radical political left (“Democrats’ lawlessness knows no bounds,” 2eb, April 21).
Editor, The choice is clear. The decision for the United States Senate comes down to one factor: which candidate is going to secure the border and keep American families safe? Bernie Moreno and President Trump are America First patriots who will secure the border, crack down on cartels, stop the free flow of fentanyl to […]
There needs to be a watchdog over expenses endorsed by this administration.
Clifford D. May’s “Khamenei’s war aims: Iranian ruler intends to establish an empire, exterminate Israelis” (web, April 23) is spot on.
OPINION — The St. George metropolitan area is one of the fastest growing regions in the country. Explosive population growth combined with the impacts of climate change, extended mega-drought and dwindling water supplies mandate that we fully optimize our water management practices, especially here in the dry desert country of Washington County. The Washington County […]
To the editor: Your article on the DIY house built by homeless immigrants in Highland Park vividly brought to mind the various favelas I saw in Rio de Janeiro many years ago. Many of them were intricately constructed of several different materials, some with a great deal of skill and artistry. And I could not help wondering at the time how there was such a disparity in that city between the extremely wealthy and so many poor people living in these shacks. I keep wondering the same thing now. If...
To the editor: I am writing to to express my dismay at the "ambitious" housing initiative unveiled by L.A. Mayor Karen Bass in her State of the City address. It boils down to begging for donations from the city's wealthy to purchase apartment buildings to house homeless people. In a city such as Los Angeles, with an incredibly low apartment vacancy rate, this only adds another source of demand that competes with a highly limited supply. If we do not increase the supply of apartments, middle- and...
Madrid being cast as underdogs is a grotesque measure of where we are but absorbing tie was a telling clash of contrastsIt turns out Pep Guardiola was right after all. Manchester City’s pursuit of the double-treble will now remain “a hypothetical dream”.This was Pep’s own excellent phrase before Wednesday’s second leg against Real Madrid, a formulation that suggests even Guardiola’s dreams are full of theory, algebra, hypotheticals, like a footballing version of Evelyn Waugh’s professor Silenus,...
To the editor: It's absurd for columnist Jonah Goldberg to dismiss the U.S. critics of additional military aid to Israel as lacking determination. ("For Israel and Ukraine alike, U.S. support is proving unreliable and inadequate," Opinion, April 16) Israel in a calculated manner decided to strike an Iranian diplomatic site in Syria. Israel absolutely knew that Iran would be forced to retaliate. Without even providing foreknowledge of the attack to the U.S., which is helping foot the bill for...
To the editor: Don't get me wrong, I applaud Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for her new program asking wealthy residents and companies to help fund housing solutions for people who are homeless. But before the area's millionaires and billionaires put their heads on their pillows tonight, I would ask that they contemplate what happened on the front end of the homelessness equation. Did they always pay all their employees, even the ones who clean their offices, a wage that allowed them to rent a...
