About Ron
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.

"HELP SAVE LA"
Join the movement to take back City Hall. Get involved in your local community
groups or come to the Saving LA Project Town Hall on Saturday June 13 at 1 p.m. at the Hollywood
City Hall, 6501 Fountain Ave., Hollywood. City Hall has created a huge budget
deficit and shown no willingness to take effective steps to reign in spending.
Instead, we face severe service cuts and big increases in DWP and other rates
and fees. Don't be a bystander. Get involved and help save LA.
