Bill Burke Leaves a Huge Legacy in the Improvement of Air Quality
Not too long ago, the air in Southern California was visibly bad. Skies were yellow, downtown skyscrapers were obscured and some people even took to wearing gas masks to venture out. Surrounded on most sides by hills and mountains, the emissions generated by our dependence on automobiles created a perfect storm for smog to stagnate. Faced with the daunting challenge of the worst air quality in the nation, the call to improve air quality was crucial to the health of the population at large and to people living in low-income areas in particular. The dire situation called for comprehensive solutions and bold leadership.
A Conversation with Westside State Senator Ben Allen
Ben Allen is a California State Senator who represents the 24th Senate District, which includes a good many of us here on the Westside as well as those in the South Bay. He is a Democrat who was first elected in 2014 after serving six years on the School Board of the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District. Allen is a graduate of Santa Monica High School and holds a law degree from UC Berkeley.
Beverly Hills Voters — Vote NO on Measures B & C
In just about two weeks, an obscure Special Election is taking place in Beverly Hills. On Tuesday, May 23, mail-in ballots come due and voters decide whether or not to approve the development of a massive new, super-luxury hotel to move forward in an area that now includes the now-vacant Paley Center for Media’s iconic museum and archives, at the intersection of Little Santa Monica Blvd and Beverly. We strongly encourage Beverly Hills voters to vote “No” on Measures B and C, which will prevent the ritzy Cheval Blanc Hotel to be built.
