Re-Name Street?

An article appeared in today's Daily Breeze which tells us that City Councilman Steve Bradford announced at the recent city council meeting that we should be re-naming 132nd Street after our President. This comment was made to the paper. I think it summed things up nicely:

"Mr.Bradford,I would like to see you and other council members helping and supporting the parents of all the children with special needs that are havinf their school taken away. LAUSD is closing Sellery School in Gardena, not one council member has come to the aid of the parents in trying to keep the school open. Do you think renaming a street of yet not proven president regardless of color, why fight for rights when you the black are the first to keep pointing it out is more important than keeping a special needs school for elementary age children ?"

Well said. During this time of one of the worst recessions in our collective memory, Bradford is once again slipping back on his soap box, proposing we spend money on a new sign on a new president who hasn't been in office more than 2 months. It's clear that this proposal by Bradford is another attempt to grab attention. It's election time again and that's what Stevie does. First it was Baggy Pants, then the plastic bags and and now changing the name of 132nd Street. Rachel and Dan have of course gone along with this charade. Can we have a change in City Councilmembers?

My dear councilmembers, there's a RECESSION going on. What are you doing about Sellery School?
