A city official recently took me to task for not balancing criticism of City Hall with praise for what it does right like picking up the garbage and patrolling the streets.
Well, I never thought doing the job you were paid to do was all that praiseworthy but the mail yesterday brought information from the Department of Sanitation that does deserve some notice
It's called Smart Gardening Classes and includes free shade trees and subsidized compost bin sales ($20 for an $80 compost bin) along with classes in recycling and water-wise gardening. The program is available monthly at Griffith Park with special classes at Pierce College on July 19 and Eagle Rock Recreation Center on Sept. 20.
Information is available at www.lacity.org/san or by calling 213-485-2260. There, see I can say something nice if it makes L.A. a greener and better city -- even if it's subsidized by taxpayers.

Ron Kaye is the former editor of the Los Angeles Daily News where he spent 23 years helping to make the newspaper the voice of the San Fernando Valley and fighting for a city government that serves the people and not special interests.
Twice in recent years, Los Angeles Magazine listed Kaye among the city’s most influential people, specifically in the area of politics. Kaye has been variously described in the media as the “accidental anarchist,” “the Patrick Henry of the San Fernando Valley” and a “passionate populist.” He is now committed to
carrying on his crusade for a greater Los Angeles as an ordinary citizen. Previously, Ron worked at the Los Angeles Herald Examiner,
Associated Press, Cleveland Plain Dealer and The Australian as well as papers
in Fairbanks, Alaska and Yakima, Wash. He also wrote for Newsweek magazine, The Guardian in London and the National Enquirer.
