MAYOR BUTTS, ‘WE ARE WORKING ON

THREE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS

By Francis Taylor, Asst. Editor

Recently, there have been some protests calling for affordable housing in the City of Inglewood. The group behind the protests attended last week’s city council meeting and their spokesperson announced that a lawsuit had been filed against the city objecting to the development of the Los Angeles Clippers Arena and in favor of affordable housing for working families.

Social media contacts responded to the housing issue and Inglewood Mayor James. T. Butts, addressed a few of the concerns that had been expressed.

Below is an edited version of the mayor’s response: ‘The City is serious about creating new housing. However, it is important to understand that the land being considered by the Clippers has been deemed incompatible for housing because it is in the flight path.

These parcels were purchased between 20 and 30 years ago with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) funds.

FAA funds were also used to relocate the families that were displaced as a result of

those property acquisitions and the fact that the area was deemed incompatible for housing. The funding agreement required that the City only permit the use of this land for an aircraft noise-compatible project. It also must be sold at fair market value and the funds paid back to the FAA. Housing is not an aircraft noisecompatible use. This land could never be used for a city use as required by the Surplus Land Act. It was always held for development. Further, if this was a sincere concern, why didn’t the group sue when the City entered into a lease/purchase agreement with Madison Square Garden (MSG) in 2013?

MSG yes...Clippers no? Think things through!

In Inglewood, we are working on three Affordable Housing projects right now. 1) PATH VILLAS - a 40 unit Senior project at Lime and Eucalyptus that will open in 2019; 2) We are attempting to complete a purchase near Rogers Park that we intend to write down the land to negotiate the development of a multi-

unit apartment building; 3) We are working with the County to develop 100 units of Affordable Housing near the proposed Fairview Heights Transit Station.

We hope these projects will yield close to 170 units of Affordable Housing over the next two to three years. Per capita and in whole numbers, Inglewood continues to produce more Affordable Housing than any other Southbay location.

Even though Inglewood has been investing in Affordable Housing for 47 years; 43% of all Affordable Housing units have been opened since I took office in 2011; just 7 years.

It is my opinion and that of others that these protests and attacks on our City are coming directly from business interests (or by attorneys used by these

so-called fringe community groups that are financed by these interests) concerned only about their bottom line.

Inglewood’s renaissance will not be held hostage by business interests from outof-state. My focus will continue to be on the jobs, and future of the people of Inglewood that I have served as a police officer and mayor over the past 46 years.’

THE INGLEWOOD TRANSIT CONNECTOR

By Francis Taylor, Asst. Editor

During this week’s city council meeting several options were presented for the city to consider for the proposed Ingle-

wood Transit Connector that would provide residents and visitors with a world-class transit connection to-andfrom the Metro Crenshaw/LAX Line directly to the City’s major activity centers including Downtown Inglewood, The Forum, the Los Angeles Stadium and Entertainment District at Hollywood Park (LA Rams and LA Chargers), and the proposed Inglewood Basketball and Entertainment Center (Los Angeles Clippers).

The new elevated transit service would provide a convenient, reliable and efficient transportation option for the public to enjoy when traveling to the City, and complete the first/last mile connection from the Regional Metro Rail system to the City’s major activity centers.

Research and analysis of various alignment alternatives are currently underway.

The City is updating its Mobility Plan to establish the current vision, goals and objectives required to best prepare itself for the City’s emerging and future mobility demands. As part of this update effort, the Mobility Plan will identify both near-term and long-term transportation improvements to help move people across multimodal transportation environment. These improvements may include: Enhanced pedestrian and bike infrastructure; intelligent transportation system improvements’ enhanced parking strategies; rideshare and traffic demand management strategies; physical improvements; and, other alternative forms of transportation.

IN THE GARDEN

PRESIDENT/PUBLISHER/ EDITOR Willie Brown VICE PRESIDENT Gloria Kennedy

One of summer’s delights is to work in the garden. So many lovely plants to add, but some of the loveliest and easiest to care for can be harmful and potentially deadly to animals, children, and even gardeners. Most plants will grow here, so always check out the toxicity of anything new you wish to add. These plants that can be found in many in SoCal gardens.

One of the most common and beautiful plants is Oleander. The stems and leaves contain a toxic substance that causes abdominal pain, diarrhea, dizziness, irritation of the mouth, nausea, and in large quantities drowsiness, coma, and even death. Further, bees that gather nectar from Oleander risk producing honey that will make one ill if ingested.

If you have young children around, you may want to get rid of this shrub, plant other flowers in front of it, or fence it in.

Angel’s Trumpet is a shrub or small tree with lovely yellow (and sometimes pink) pendulous trumpet-shaped flowers. They are native to the Andes and Indian shamans have used the plant for thousands of years to induce a deep trance. Beware this beauty as its symptoms include vomiting, hallucinations,

and death by cardiac arrest.

Lantana is a wonderful and colorful hedge with clusters of purple, white, or yellow-to-orange flowers, but beware its affects if the leaves or unripe fruit is eaten. The ultimate, of course, is death, but ingestion can also cause vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, lethargy, cyanosis, and coma.

At the holidays, everyone clamors for Mistletoe to hang for the much anticipated ‘holiday kiss’. However, mistletoe is one of the plants that

shouldn’t be messed with. Small children and animals are drawn to the plump leaves and white berries. This parasite can attach itself to and grow in most any shrub or tree.

Ingestion causes gastroenteritis -like symptoms, cardiac arrest and death.

Foxglove is a tall, slender plant with stalks of white, lavender, yellow, pink, red, and purple blossoms. Beautiful but potentially deadly, foxglove can cause severe abdominal pains, diarrhea, nausea, heart problems, and death. Foxglove is one of those plants that has great use in the medical community. From this plant, we get digitalis for treatment of heart conditions.

All of this is not to scare you, but to inform you. Animals are generally smart enough not to eat anything that doesn’t smell appetizing, but unfortunately, small children are not. Of course, the children in your life are closely supervised so consider this just ‘a word to the wise’.

LET’S REUNITE MIGRANT FAMILIES SEPARATED AT THE BORDER Seventeen US states led by Democratic attorney generals are suing the Trump administration in an effort to force officials to reunite migrant families separated at the border.

In the latest setback for Donald Trump’s “zero-tolerance” immigration policy, the states, which include New York, California and Washington, filed lawsuits on Tuesday accusing the government of denying migrants their rights.

“The administration’s practice of separating families is cruel, plain and simple,” New Jersey attorney general Gurbir Grewal said in a statement. “Every day, it seems like the administration is issuing

new, contradictory policies and relying on new, contradictory justifications. But we can’t forget: The lives of real people hang in the balance.”

More than 2,300 children have been separated from their parents at the USMexico border in recent weeks and placed in government-contracted shelters hundreds of miles away. Following uproar on both sides of the aisle, and internationally, Trump last week signed an executive order to end the controversial practice.

The administration was obliged to walk its policy back further when, on Monday, the nation’s top border security

official said his agency would temporarily stop referring migrant parents who cross the border with their children for criminal prosecution.

But hundreds of detained parents are still awaiting news of their children’s whereabouts. Experts told the Guardian of their concerns that the promised reunions won’t happen any time soon – if at all, amid ongoing bureaucratic chaos from the federal government.

In a statement announcing the lawsuit, Illinois Democratic attorney general Lisa Madigan said Trump’s executive order does not bring back together

the thousands of families that were torn apart by the two-month old “zero tolerance” policy, and it does not prevent families from being separated in the future.

Compiled by Francis Taylor, Asst. Editor, (email: francis_taylor@sbcglobal.net) The House of Representatives passed the farm bill Thursday afternoon that dramatically cuts funding for food stamps, known as Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP). More than 1 million low-income households, totaling than 2 million people are in danger of losing their benefits altogether or have them reduced un-

der the bill. Trump tweeted after the vote that he was “so happy” to see work requirements included in the bill.

Barack Obama issued a plea for compassion towards refugees as thousands of migrant children have been separated from their parents at America’s southern border. “To watch those families broken apart

in real time puts to us a very simple question: are we a nation that accepts the cruelty of ripping children from their parents’ arms, or are we a nation that values families, and works to keep them together?” the former president wrote on Facebook.

Federal net neutrality protections have ended, thanks to Ajit Pai’s

While it enjoyed wide support from the state’s population, the bill itself is now toothless. It’s been “eviscer

Trump rescinded an executive order by President Obama that established the first national ocean policy, which made protecting coastal waters and the Great Lakes a priority. It would cut bureaucracy and benefit business, while environmental advocates denounced his decision, saying it strongly favors commercial interests over conservation. Trump’s order could affect ocean policy in New England, which recently began implementing one of the nation’s only regional plans designed to protect the Gulf of Maine and other waters in the region.

The Supreme Court has upheld President Donald Trump’s travel ban in one of the most highly anticipated decisions of this year, saying the ban is “squarely within” the president’s authority. The Court’s 5-4 ruling that the third iteration of Trump’s controversial proposal, Travel Ban 3.0, is constitutional comes after two previous attempts by the administration to bar immigration to the United States from certain foreign countries Sheriffs in Los Angeles confirm a second shooting at Malibu Creek State Park where Tristan Beaudette was killed early Friday inside his tent while camping with his two young daughters.

DIES AT 89

By City News Service

Los Angeles civic leader John Mack has died, it was reported Friday. He was 81.

Mack died late Thursday night at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, according to ABC7, citing a confirmation by his family.

Mack served as president of the Los Angeles Urban League from 1969 until his retirement in 2005, when he was named president of the board of police commissioners of the Los Angeles Police Department.

Mack also co-founded Los Angeles Black Leadership Coalition on Education in 1977 and was later appointed vice president of the United Way Corporation of Council Executives.

Mack received awards from numerous institutions, including the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Operation Hope, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the California Afro American Museum.

L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti issued a statement Friday morning on Mack’s passing.

“John Mack’s wisdom, integrity, and kindness helped transform Los Angeles,” Garcetti said. “As a civil rights warrior, police commission president, and ally to all who love freedom and fairness, John made history with a fierce determination to pursue justice, an unshakable com-

mitment to equality, and an unbreakable bond with the community he worked tirelessly to uplift every day of his remarkable life. He moved both spirits and systems — by merging his gentle bearing with a fearless resolve to make change that has touched and saved countless lives.

“I will always miss John as a friend, advisor, and moral compass,” the mayor added. “And like many throughout our city and world, I will forever find inspiration in his extraordinary ability to convene us around tables of understanding, humanity, and peace — especially in uncertain moments and at times of great strife. My thoughts are with his children, who are close friends to Amy and me, and I grieve with all who loved and admired this incredible man, whose words, deeds, and accomplishments will be felt for years to come and cherished through the ages.”

Outgoing LAPD Chief Charlie Beck also hailed Mack, saying the city “lost a dedicated public servant today.”

“Former police commission president John Mack was instrumental in guiding the LAPD towards communitybased 21st Century policing. Our department and our city are in a better place because of John’s legacy,” Beck said.

Civil-rights leader the Rev. Jesse Jackson called Mack “a civil rights giant and free-

REPUBLICANS VOTED TO STEAL SOCIAL SECURITY’S

$2.9 TRILLION SURPLUS

By INGLEWOOD TODAY Newswire

DON’T BE LEFT BEHIND. GET YOUR ADS AND INFORMATION IN BY 5:00PM EVERY TUESDAY TO BE PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY

The following is a statement from Nancy Altman, President of Social Security Works, in reaction to nearly every Republican member of the House of Representatives, as well as seven Democrats, voting for a Constitutional amendment requiring that all annual revenue and spending balance every year. The amendment failed to attain the two-thirds majority required to pass it into law: “Every pay period, starting with our first jobs, America’s workers contribute to Social Security. The program uses those funds to pay all benefits and related administrative costs. Social Security does not add even a penny to the deficit, as Republican President Ronald Reagan so clearly stated when he was president.

When Social Security runs a surplus, Social Security holds the funds in trust. Social Security currently has a $2.9 trillion accumulated surplus, which was intentionally built up over decades to cover the retirement of the Baby Boom generation. In the guise of a so-called balanced budget amendment, 233 members of the House of Representatives just voted to pretend that the accumulated surplus does not exist.

That’s because the so-called Balanced Budget Amendment would ignore the past Social Security contributions and instead require all federal spending – including Social Security spending – to

be offset by revenues collected in that same year. That means that Social Security would not be allowed to use its own $2.9 trillion surplus to pay out benefits.

By voting to mandate that income and outgo match for all federal spending every year, ninety-seven percent of Republicans just voted in effect, to default on Social Security’s $2.9 trillion worth of Treasury bonds. (Ninety-six percent of Democrats voted to honor their commitment to the American people.)

That 233 politicians would vote to raid the Social Security trust funds, never to repay them, is shameful. It helps explain the low regard the American people have for Congress. Fortunately for Social Security beneficiaries, the amendment did not attain the twothirds majority required to pass the House. But those who voted for it are now on the record in support of stealing the American people’s earned Social Security benefits.”

PUBLISHER’S MESSAGE

Los Angeles Rams Stadium

TRUMP’S

40 PERCENT COMPLETE

ROCKY PRESIDENCY With the Donald Trump presidency, there does not seem to be a day when there is calm, conciliatory and joint-effectiveness in Washington. Even during Barack Obama’s two terms in the White House, and with the lack of support, cooperation or even oftentimes, respect he got from his z colleagues, I do not remember the incessant stream of negative issues, poor decisions and outright lies emanating from the White House.

Take a look at this week alone. Former Fox News co-president Bill Shine, ousted during the sex scandal that brought down Roger Ailes, is in final talks with Donald Trump about becoming Whitehouse Communications Director…Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he will take the refugees banned by the United States…The firm hired to build Trump’s wall was fined $5 million for hiring illegal immigrants.

Also this week the Supreme Court upheld Trump’s Muslim Ban ‘which signaled to the world that Muslims are not welcome here, that this is whether the conservative justices say that, in fact, this is about executive power, the president’s clear intent was to impose a religious test. That is as fundamentally un-American as anything he’s done over the course of this presidency. The only force in the world that has the power to defeat extremists Islam radicalism is moderate Islam. And moderate Islam was dealt a big setback today by this shortsighted, dangerous policy that abrogates all the fine traditions of our country from freedom of religion to welcoming the renewal of the country’s lifeblood with immigration, said Steve Schmidt. While there is much for me to opine about this week, I want to express my wholehearted support for our esteemed Congresswoman Maxine

Waters. Rep. Maxine Waters pushed back against President Donald Trump on Monday, saying she wasn’t calling for people to “harm” his supporters, as he tweeted earlier in the day, but to publicly protest his Cabinet members.”I believe in peaceful, very peaceful protests,” she told reporters on Capitol Hill. “I have not called for the harm of anybody. This President has lied again when he’s saying that I’ve called for harm.”Congresswoman Waters returned to Washington on Monday amid a heated debate over her comments from the weekend, when she encouraged people to keep pushing back on members of Trump’s administration in public spaces, like restaurants, department stores and gas stations. Her comments, fueled by frustration over migrant families separated at the border, came at the end of a week when Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was heckled by activists at a restaurant in Washington, DC, and White House press secretary Sarah Sanders Virginia. Peaceful protests are a form of demonstration that have been used for decades to bring about change in our nation’s policies. I wholeheartedly support my congresswoman’s right to speak out in opposition to Trump and his administration’s policies and to encourage like minds to do the same.

Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts was joined by members of the City council, Rams officials and construction personnel to celebrate the installation of the center beam of the new stadium. Pictured below is a photograph of the dignitaries who joined the 1,500 construction workers who were on hand to celebrate the Topping Out of the Center Beam ceremony.

Mayor Butts indicated that he was very proud of the myriad of workers whose lives have been positively impacted by the construction that is taking place in Inglewood, not only during the construction phase but the thousands of permanent jobs that will be available when the construction is complete.

Clippers hope draft choices can put them back in the playoffs

By Steve Finley

Clipper first round draft picks Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, left, and Jerome Robinson are all smiles at the Clippers training facility last Monday when they were introduced to the Los Angeles media.

The Los Angeles Clippers have had first round draft picks for many years, dating back to the 1970’s. The problem is only Blake Griffin in 2009 proved to be worth the time and effort.

Most of the others turned out to be average or below average players.

To find the history of Clipper unsuccessful first round draft picks you can trace the mistakes as recently as 2016 when they selected Brice Johnson from North Carolina. C. J. Wilcox in 2014 and Reggie Bullock in 2013. In 2007 the Clippers picked Al Thornton in first round, Yaroslav Korolev in 2005 and Chris Kaman in 2004 and they are just a few of the first round picks that flamed out.

Now the organization hopes Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jerome Robinson can stop the bleeding of bad draft picks and help this organization continue to build a winning culture that started with Griffin in 2009.

Both players are big guards.

Gilgeous-Alexander is 6-6 point guard and Robinson is 6-5.

“Even though the players in this years’ draft are young, teams look at their overall maturity,” said Clippers coach Doc Rivers last Monday at their training facility in Playa Vista.

“You look at their character.

That’s what you judge now. I don’t think people understand just how deep teams go into the players’ character and background. That’s really important.

No matter how young they are, if you have a strong base, they will probably grow up to be pretty good pros.”

Rivers feels strongly that these two players will make an impact in the NBA. “We are confident that in five years, when the pundits look and do a redraft, they will look at these guys and say, “Why weren’t they drafted higher.”

Los Angeles Football Club goalie Tyler Miller stretches to get a fingertip save to preserve the LAFC’s 2-0 shutout of the Columbus Crew last Saturday at the Banc of California Stadium. The LAFC plays another home game against Philadelphia on Saturday, June 30, at 7:30 p.m. The LAFC is in third place in the Western Conference of Major League Soccer with a record of 8-4.
