I agree Bill.
Enough snippin' and tail bitin' and finger pointin'...I do find it amusing to think…Read More what would happen if people who wanted to have a parade/carnival just made it happen.
Let's make a parade and carnival, not war.

The reason the carnival went away was because some in power thought gangsters and some rowdy…Read More elements at the carnival made the atmosphere a little to uninviting at times, that was nonsense. When they got out of hand they were kicked out or went to jail. It was ridiculous to end the carnival and to stop the parade based on financing could have been avoided if the problem of financing would have been attacked early enough. Or are people going to tell me there's not enough people in Monrovia willing to give their time, talent and money to make it happen? I grew up in town, haven't lived in Monrovia in a long time but am still one that would assist in seeing the parade and carnival return. As for the cost for police and city employees to work it maybe if they were approached and told it would have to be on a comp time basis only, not pay, they'd be willing to do so. That wouldn't result in some big unfunded liability as you're only talking about an event that's four days at most. This could happen, just takes time, effort and some willingness of people to co-operate with each other to get it done.

A California city will never prevail in a lawsuit against the STATE. All CA. cities must merge to…Read More sue in mass under Federal RICO laws while we still have Federal laws. Filing alone at the State level is useless. Wake up people.

Ernie, the CBO (Chief Barking Officer) of Wonder Dog Ranch, dog day care and boarding, is woofing…Read More with excitement about this happy ending. He'd love to meet Ruby and thinks she wants to more structured activity in her day -- so Ernie will give her a free day of day care at Wonder Dog Ranch!
