The City of Inglewood is working to bring the L.A. Clippers to the City of Champions.

The L.A. Clippers are committed to doing a full environmental impact report for a potential site for the new arena complex.

SB 789 would expedite the resolution of any lawsuit filed against the project. This is the same legislative assistance that was provided to: • AEG’s Farmers Field • The Sacramento Kings’ Golden 1 Center • The Golden State Warriors’ Chase Center

The men and women of Inglewood deserve the same treatment as the residents of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento! This will ensure even more job opportunities for Inglewood residents and our youth. Our unemployment rate is the lowest it has been in over 27 years.

Let Senator Steve Bradford know how much we appreciate him. Call State Senator Steve Bradford. Tell him you support SB 789! (916) 651-4035

AP PHOTO/M. SPENCER GREEN, FILE In this March 15, 1996 file photo, Denver Nuggets guard Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf stands with his teammates and prays during the national anthem before an NBA basketball game against the Chicago Bulls in Chicago.

Through the years, "The Star-Spangled Banner" has Mahmoud Abdul Rauf become a symbol of both patriotism and politics.
