An appropriate day to remind everyone that for the 2nd yr. in a row Mayor Bass proposed zero new funding to RepresentLA, the City/County program which provides attorneys to LA residents facing deportation. Like last time, council restored funding in this yr's proposed budget.
Bass might have received her biggest applause when she pledged to “always stand strong” with our immigrant community. Guess what? She is proposing ZERO new funding for RepresentLA, which provides attorneys for those facing deportation.

"I stood right behind [Mayor Bass], in frame, as she spoke about the importance of creating a better world for future generations & immediately afterwards she proposes a budget that would functionally eliminate the Youth Development Dept."

The mayor’s proposed budget calls for the elimination of the department of aging. A new division would be created for senior services in the community investment and family development department.

If this were actually a “key vote” then you’d think CM Park, who reps the Palisades, would show up.
Nithya Raman ditched a key vote on Palisades Fire recovery to attend a Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony: westsidecurrent.com/election…

The Feb 18 vote to continue.
Replying to @UnrigLA
FWIW the specific “vote” Raman missed to attend that event was on Feb 18th and prior to beginning of business the Council unanimously voted to continue the item til Mar 4th to allow for more time to sort out a solution.

There were other Palisades related items on that agenda but they were all non controversial and unanimously approved.

🚨 Scooplet: @PalantirTech, a data firm with $145M in ICE contracts, was promoted as a "top supporter" at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's annual legislative conference in Washington, D.C. last week, according to photos reviewed by HuffPost and a statement from the company. This comes after @CHCI, the nonprofit aligned with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, publicly canceled Palantir's sponsorship and returned a donation after facing backlash.

“One outlier poll which got the June primary wrong” 🙃
One outlier poll which got the June primary wrong, means very little with 40 days to go. This is going to be a close race, and we're in it to win. Let's get to work!

Big news! In the latest Berkeley/LA Times poll, we’ve surged ahead of Mayor Bass with an 11 point lead. This poll reflects the momentum we’re seeing on the ground. Angelenos are ready for change and want to see a City That Works. But we can’t take our foot off the gas! A third of voters are undecided, and this race remains wide open. Now’s a great time to sign up to canvass, phonebook, or volunteer. See the link in bio to join us!
