Assemblyman Tony Mendoza is going back home Tuesday — so to speak. Mendoza, D-Norwalk, is going to hold a press conference at noon at Brooklyn Avenue Elementary School, 4620 E. Cesar E Chavez Ave., Los Angeles.
That’s the school he taught at before he was elected to the state Assembly in 2006. However, this school is not even close to Mendoza’s district that includes Artesia, Cerritos, Hawaiian Gardens, Lakewood, Norwalk, Santa Fe Springs, unincorporated South and West Whittier and parts of Whittier.
Mendoza is expected to ask Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to sign his AB 211, a bill that requires new school construction projects to have doors with modern locks that can be locked from the inside.
