Open Thread

Several developing developments to close out your week today.

The Dump Denham folks are turning in 50,000 signatures in support of the effort.  Just over 31,000 valid signatures are required to qualify.  Seems that we should start getting geared up for this one.

Rep. Waxman is continuing the agitation on the California EPA waiver, dropping subpoenas for documents reviewed by the EPA before rejecting California emission regulations.

Sacramento Bee's Ed Board weighs in on the double bubble trouble and is none too pleased with Los Angeles County's screwy ballots or acting Registrar Dean Logan. (full disclosure: I work for the Courage Campaign)

55 people were indicted over welfare fraud that snagged millions in a scheme centered around fake child care facilities in and around Los Angeles.

Speaking of Los Angeles, I'll be there tomorrow for no particular reason and with nothing particular to do.  Or as Bran Van 3000 says

But we did nothing, absolutely nothing that day, and I say:

What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?

I got the fever for the flavor, the payback will be later, still I need a fix.
