Editor’s Memo: Time for the Voters

November 03 2016
Written by Ken Draper.

 

CITYWATCH TODAY—We’ve been lied to, yelled at, threatened, frightened, entertained and more for 15 months. Now it’s time for the voters to elect a president for these sometimes United States. And fill a number of other offices and approve or reject a bunch of ballot initiatives. To have suffered through this bombardment and not to have your own voice heard seems to me a terrible waste. Please vote. Speak up. 

To help you sort it all out over this pre-vote weekend, CityWatch has provided you with a number of perspectives and options. I genuinely hope you find something helpful … in Today’s CityWatch. 

A few days ago, Huffington Post reports, 90-year old Anita Harris cast her vote for Hillary Clinton … as you can see in the photo … and then died a happy voter. My wish is that you will find as much joy in your vote on Tuesday as Anita did … but, live much, much longer.

 ++++++

It may seem impossible … the election circus having hijacked media for so long … but there is other news. Richard Abrams writes that the cover-up has begun on the Sea Breeze scandal at City Hall; Beth Cone Kramer notes that some hacked Clinton emails may have exposed Mayor Garcetti’s super sensitive side; and, the Preven brothers wonder why the County insists on such high fees for paying your property tax online … at a time in our history when ‘online’ is what it’s all about. It’s all in Today’s CityWatch. 

Check it out. Let us know what you think.
