Open Forum: What would you cut?

Many of our cities are facing budget cuts. So, here's an uplifting weekend question:

My apologies for not updating the blog earlier today. Because today will be a late night -- I got in at 2 p.m. to cover the El Monte meeting -- I am just now getting into the daily grove.

For the reader concerned about our Gregg Industries coverage: It is my understanding that a reporter has been covering that and is still at the hearing. We will have an update when she returns.

And yes, chasing down dead ducks and chickens does cut into blogging and reporting time.

 

Mosquito money

Looks like La Puente Councilman Dan Holloway is taking over Mayor Louie Lujan’s seat on the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control District Board of Trustees.
Lujan appointed Holloway in January, after Lujan resigned citing time constraints.
Board meetings are a once a month, at 7 a.m.

Holloway will get a $100 stipend per month if he attends that meeting. That stipend also covers any other meetings he may have to attend for other committees, according to vector control officials.

It’s a far cry from other appointed boards or districts, which can pay upwards of $150 per meeting. Must I remind everyone of Jennifer McLain’s water district story?
