The Long Beach Taxpayers Association, a grassroots group that helped lead the charge against Mayor Bob Foster's Measure I infrastructure improvements tax measure that voters rejected last year, will celebrate its first year this week.
The association is having a meeting Wednesday that is free and open to the public. Orange County Taxpayers Association founder Reed Royalty will speak about the state pension "time bomb." The meeting takes place from 7 to 9 p.m. at ECCO's Pizza, 2123 Bellflower Blvd.
