YESonRE.com @REinvestCulver Culver City Democratic Club — Active Democrat August 2020 — Page 4 An Open Letter to Sherif Alex Villanueva Dear Sherif Villanueva, (Or may I call you “Alex” as I did when you were an underdog candidate seeking the endorsement of the Culver City Democratic Club?) Alex! How could you? I write today more in sorrow than in anger. You made me believe in you. I’m not the only one. Any number of democratic clubs, including the Culver City Democratic Club, endorsed you. You came to speak at our Club, and you said that as Sherif, “My job is due process for everyone.” That sounded to me like you planned to run the sherif’s department in ways that protected everyone’s constitutional rights—both those of the sworn ofcers and those of the civilian population (presumably including journalists!). What part of that did I misunderstand? What happened to that Alex? Can I have him back, please? You also said that the problem of deputies’ gangs in the department arose out of low morale. That sounded reasonable to me. You said that with your experience as a rank and fle deputy, you knew how to repair morale. Since the gang problem very much pre-dates your time in ofce, I didn’t think you could solve it immediately. But has making the deputies feel that you “have their backs” made them behave any beter? I spoke up for you for a long time. The Los Angeles Times started criticizing your performance before you even took the oath of ofce which was hardly fair! But I said, it’s OK, the Times is just biter because they endorsed Alex’s opponent. Then you hired back staf with “tainted” records, and I said Alex knows those people personally and maybe the Civil Service Commission did not give them due process. You’ll see, I said. Alex believes in “due process for everyone.” There were complaints about you from the county supervisors, but I took those with a grain of salt. Both you and the sups (also known as “the fve litle kings”) were duly elected by the people. You each have your realm… reasonable people can disagree…And Alex believes in “due process for everyone.” But then Dijon Kizee was shot to death by a deputy when he was riding a bicycle while Black, and KCRW reported that days and days went by without the killer even being questioned. In the days that followed, deputies showed up to surround and intimidate peaceful people holding a press conference about that shooting. Journalist Josie Huang from KPCC was arrested roughly and spent hours in jail. Let’s be clear, in a time of global pandemic being arrested by a maskless deputy and spending any amount of time in jail can be a death sentence. And I SAW THE VIDEO. You all-but- said that since she wasn’t from Fox or CNN, the deputies didn’t need to treat her like a journalist because who ever heard of KPCC? There you lost me. I am done making excuses. Robert Bonner from the Sherif’s Civilian Oversight Commission, along with Sheila Keuhl and Mark Ridley-Thomas of the County Board of Supervisors, have called for your resignation. Me? I don’t let you of the hook that easily. I call on you to stay in ofce and be the Sherif Alex that you made the democratic clubs believe that you would be. Clean up your act and be the “due process for everyone” sherif. Best Regards, Cynthia Hart THANK YOU FOR YOUR ENDORSEMENT, CULVER CITY DEMOCRATIC CLUB! Los Angeles deserves a new District Attorney who will make our neighborhoods safer, hold police accountable, and reform our justice system so it works for everyone. I have reduced violent crime in every leadership position I’ve held while pioneering reforms to reduce racial disparities and end mass incarceration. -George Gascón GeorgeGascon.org @GeorgeGascon /DAGeorgeGascon @GasconForLADA PAID FOR BY GEORGE GASCON FOR LA DISTRICT ATTORNEY 2020 FPPC ID# 1422183 Culver City Democratic Club — Active Democrat August 2020 — Page 6 Make a Plan, Stan!

But the 19 only deception here is in the Complaint. Fox’s opinion hosts have never described the Coronavirus 20 as a “hoax” or a “conspiracy,” but instead used those terms to comment on efforts to exploit the 21 pandemic for political points. Regardless, the claims here are frivolous because the statements at 22 issue are core political speech on matters of public concern. The First Amendment does not permit 23 censoring this type of speech based on the theory that it is “false” or “outrageous.” Nor does the law 24 of the State of Washington.

    THE TM 911 Franklin Street Weekly Newspaper Michigan City, IN 46360 Volume 25, Number 31 Thursday, August 13, 2009 Opportunity Knocks and Entrepreneurs Answer Restoring North Franklin Street --It’s Happening Now! by Rick A. Richards There are two ways of looking at down- town Michigan City – as a glass half full or a glass half empty. Ever since major retail- ers like Sears and J.C. Penney left down- town in the 1970s for Marquette Mall, the prevailing view has been a glass half empty. Not any more. Thanks to some visionary entrepreneurs with a glass half full atti- tude, more than $2 million in development is taking place in the six blocks of Franklin Street between Fourth and 10th streets. Mike Howard, owner of Station 801, a restaurant at the corner of Eighth and Franklin streets, is excited about a resur- gent downtown. “I think one day it’s coming back,” said Howard, who with partner Jerry Peters, The original signage and some of the original glassware from the 1941-era Peters Dairy Bar that operated on Michigan Boulevard is now a part of the new recently purchased the former Argabright Peters Dairy Bar at 803 Franklin Street. Communications building at 803 Franklin St., remodeled it and opened the Cedar Sub Shop and Peters Dairy Bar. “One of the reasons we bought the build- ing is that we’re seeing things happening downtown on a positive side,” said How- ard. After purchasing the building, Howard tore out some walls, did a bit of minor re- modeling and made a phone call to Debbie Rigterink, who used to operate the Cedar Sub Shop at the Cedar Tap.
