Coming Soon:   

Not One But Two More Elections in Los Angeles

 

And The Fun Never Ends...Oh Yeah

 

Just when you think it must...simply must...be over...there’s another election being held and for some Los Angeles residents...it’s not just one but two more elections.   

 

Yikes!  

 

How could this happen?

 

Well, there’s something in the city of Los Angeles called Neighborhood Councils.  These  are local groups made up of people who live, work, own property or have some other connection to a neighborhood. Neighborhood Council Board Members are elected or selected to their positions by the neighborhoods themselves.  There are currently 96 of these councils throughout the city.

 

One of those neighborhood councils….the Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council which is comprised of Hermon, Montecito Heights, Monterey Hills, Mount Washington and Sycamore Grove is having an election to vote if Hermon can split off and be an independent neighborhood council.    

 

Vote Hermon to Separate From Arroyo Seco Neighborhood CouncilAnd when it comes to elections…it seems that local issues can be as contentious as the 2016 Presidential election.   While I certainly have my opinion, I’m not expressing it here.  I do urge everyone who is eligible to vote on Saturday, April 8 from 11am until 3pm at Fellowship Center located at 5800 Monterey Road in Hermon.  If parking is difficult to find the owners of Fresco Community Market at Monterey Road near the center have stated that their lot will be available.   

 

You can save time on Election Day by downloading and filling out a voter registration form to bring to the polls or they will be available at the center on Election Day as well.  That page also contains links to an Elections FAQ and an Election Manual.

 

Details:

 

Saturday, April 8, 2017

11:00 am - 3:00 pm

Fellowship Center

5800 Monterey Road

Los Angeles, CA 90042

 

 

 

As far as the other upcoming Election, that will be held on Tuesday, June 6, 2017.   This is the run-off between the two top finishers from the California 34th Congressional District primary(which the Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council is a part) that was held on Tuesday, April 4.  You may remember my previous post and the 24 candidates that were running in that special election.

Michael Jacobs - There's no getting away from politics! We have local elections coming up too. I'm always amazed at the many horns that toot prior to an election and then sadly, the music dies. And the horns get tangled up at City Council meetings, some get their butts kicked badly.... I always find it odd that people without political science, strategic management, or experience in local politics volunteer to run expressing they know how to manage a City Budget and make tough decisions that impact the greater good of the community without the proper know how - it all comes out after elected.

I always find it odd that people without political science, strategic management, or experience in local politics volunteer to run expressing they know how to manage a City Budget and make tough decisions that impact the greater good of the community without the proper know how - it all comes out after elected. Just because someone has lived "X" number of years in a community, had kids enrolled in the local schools, or coached Little League doesn't qualify them; yet it's the same old same old. Anyone, anything, and everything can look and sound good on paper but the proof is in the political decisions that have a positive and good impact on the community that makes the difference.

It is happening here too Michael. If you have something to say about the way the local government is run, go out and vote.

I only hope they realize that to maximize their voter turnout they hold all three elections on the same night Michael Jacobs. I also applaud you for sleeping in a call to action or yourself and your business

Hopefully people will vote for the people that will really make a difference, rather than the ones that only say they will make a difference.

Michael, I like that you're spreading the word about local elections. While I'm sure many arent' ready to vote yet again it's very important they do. Every vote counts!

It is so important to get out and make your voice heard via voting.  Those who don't seem to always be the ones who whine the loudest about the outcome.  Silly people.

Hi Michael - Great reminder for Pasadena area voters. Participatory democracy isn't always convenient - nor enjoyable - but it's a lot better than the alternatives. Have a great weekend!
