At least you help reopen the Martin Luther King Jr hospital. Instead of the 707k to remodel your office why don't you spend that money to remodel some of Willowbrook bad areas.

I find it appalling that the county would expend this much money on a renovation, and at the same time cut community services to the under-served community. they could take $700K and create a few jobs for our youth, and subsidized housing for those families displaced, due to bad real estate loans. It is time for the "people," to stand up and let them know, that we are tired of the mismanagement, and abuse of power by government.

This may kill your re-election, but maybe you don't wont to be County Supervisor anymore. Especially since we Los Angeles can't afford you. The hard part is it put a strain on the African-American community when I leaders use bad judgement and when you should know that we are always under the microscope and need to use better judgement. We have two few male African-American leaders and now the community may realize that you are just about the dollar bills, so Shame Shame, Shame on you Mr. T
