The next LACYD Legislative Committee meeting will be Wednesday, March 25 at 7 pm. Dante Atkins, the LACYD Political Director has generously offered to host the meeting at Atkins Research Group, (4929 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 102, Los Angeles, CA 90010. Free street parking is availalbe on Highland, north of Wilshire.)
The meeting will be a joint Legislative/Political committee meeting and our primary focus will be discussing the initiatives placed on the ballot for the May 19 statewide special election as a result of the recent budget compromise.
Brendan Huffman, a representative from the Budget Reform Now campaign will be in attendance to speak and answer some questions about the confusing initiatives. Though there is no formal opposition campaign to the package of initiatives yet, invitations to the meeting have been extended to groups that have declared formal opposition.
After hearing from Brendan (and possibly a speaker against the initiatives), we will discuss the ballot and vote on a committee recommendation for an official LACYD position to the Executive Board. Anybody interested in becoming a member of LACYD is encouraged to attend the meeting, though only active, dues-paying members of the organization can vote on the committee recommendation.
This should be a great opportunity to learn about the propositions and sound really smart when your friends ask "what the hell is going on in our state?" I hope to see you there.
Please RSVP to LACYDlegislative@gmail.com or on Facebook if you plan to attend. Thanks you.
