KRLA-870 radio talk show host Kevin James and I talked
Thursday abou
t recent developments in the billionaires’ competition for an NFL stadium in the Los Angeles market with Ed Roski’s City of Industry plan gaining traction over Phil Anschutz’ because the financials provide more profit to the league. Click here to listen.
On NBC’s “The Filter with Fred Roggin” to be broadcast tonight on NBC’s digital channel (225 on Time Warner), commentator Megan Barth and I talked about the new law allowing in-state tuition and scholarships for illegal immigrant college students, the new law allowing children to get the HPV vaccine against STDs without parental permission and knowledge and the no hats, no hoodies anti-crime measure for shoppers in Studio City, Toluca Lake and North Hollywood.

My idea is let’s not build either of the stadiums. They are a boondoggle. The temporary construction jobs are not worth it. I would rather see greater investments in transportation, water and sewer system upgrades, drainage and other public infrastructure projects for the construction industry. (And rachet down the LAUSD and LACCD school construction programs because we are building more capacity and, especially LAUSD, may not have the enrollment for the foreseeable future. We will be left with new public buildings that the District cannot maintain.
I agree.
