DISQUS

Krikorian needs to be reminded that he is a 3rd rate sports writter working for a 4th rate newspaper. Doug, stick to writting sports for that fish wrapper called the Press Telegram.

City Manger West cannot be more disingenuous when he is quoted in the Grunion Gazette that “he had no explanation way the shelter is short six staff members………….the positions have been funded.” Anyone who works for the City knows that the City Manager and the Director of Financial Management has put up a “unofficial” blockade which prevents needed positions from being filled. Our boss should not have been thrown under the bus because of top management’s continued failure to lead the City organization in the best interest of the tax payers’

Gunther. My kids and I get out a lot. No rational person would compare the traffic volumes at Ocean/Cherry to 7th/Alamitos. Lets just call this proposal what it is. A gateway for the Gateway. Taxpayers get the bill to improve the entrance to a project Brian is conneceted with. And by the way, the Gateway project will add more traffic and smog to Bixby Park at Ocean/Cherry.

With all due respect to Brian, is this the best place to spend $1M for a park. As a local resident with 3 kids, I would never take my kids to a park on 7th Street that subjects them to toxic vehicle fumes. I think we can find a more family freindly place to put a park. Is Brian just looking for an improved entrance to the City so the "Gateway" project will be a financial success for his firm?
