What you missed

As you can tell, the blog has been a little slim on posts lately. What with the election and all, most of us here in the newsroom have been spread pretty thin.

That being said, here's a few things that got in the paper over the last few days but didn't get on the blog:

The fight over a proposed downtown redevelopment project in Baldwin Park just got a little uglier. A resident is claiming a Bisno consultant assaulted her at a public meeting. The Bisno consultant denies all the allegations. And no one's got any pictures or video to prove one way or another.

Famed police union attorney Dieter Dammeier has filed a lawsuit on behalf of the Baldwin Park Police Association against the city of Baldwin Park over a proposed public safety initiative. The measure, if approved by voters, would essentially guarantee police salaries at the average of other San Gabriel Valley cities - that is, of course, if it gets to the voters. The city wants the courts to interpret the referendum first, but Dammeier claims officials are violating election laws. See the full version of the lawsuit here: BPlawsuit.pdf
