1. Suzanne DeBenedittis is fed up with County Supervisor Yvonne Burke ignoring her constituents and offers up some sound advice on how to fix the problem in an Op-Ed on The Front Page Online:

Second, please vote for state Sen. Mark Ridley-Thomas for Supervisor. He has tirelessly worked on the public’s behalf to ensure transparency and oversight throughout this process. He has been actively involved, from requesting the County to give the time necessary for Culver City and the public to help craft a meaningful set of regulations, to serving as our watchdog with the state agencies who regulate the drilling.

As Supervisor, Mark Ridley-Thomas will continue to act on behalf of the public.

Read the entire Op-Ed.

2. Senator Ridley-Thomas “issued a statement Monday expressing his condolences” to Bernard Parks whose father died yesterday.

3. Senator Ridley-Thomas joined representatives of the Latino, Asian-Pacific and African American caucuses to oppose Proposition 11, which would create a 14-member citizen commission to redraw the state’s district lines after each national census. The worry is that the Proposition “is not conducive to the representation of minority groups”.
