CITYWATCH TODAY—Your vote on November 8 could help the Dodgers win the 2017 World Series. Say what? No, not me. Jack Humphreville says that. In Today’s CityWatch.

Goes like this: Prop 55 … on the ballot when you vote in a few days … taxes zillionaires. Most baseball players … especially the kind it takes to get our Dodgers to the World Series … are zillionaires. Prop 55 could mean millions to them in income tax. Dodger fans … be careful how your vote. According to Jack, the World Series is at stake.

++++++

Briefly put: **Andrea Leon Grossman** wants **Mayor Wimpy** to stand up and be counted. LA’s Future is here, she says. **Digby** turns a microscope on those ‘secret voters’ we hear so much about. **Joe** **Mathews** nominates the Governor’s wife for **Attorney General** and **Leonard Isenberg** says the reason to vote for Hillary is future ‘First Lady’ **Bill Clinton**. Do I have your attention yet? Let us know what you think. We’re good listeners.
