Do you feel a little bit skeevy this week, having spent way too much time analyzing Dancing with the Stars, and worrying if there is any money left in the market for ME from the market collapse, or wondering how many more Sarah Palin – moose cartoons will pop up this week – and my sympathy is with the mooses? Or is this just me? 😉 If this is you, do something good this weekend.
I’ve written before about the proposal to designate all of Griffith Park a City Historic-Cultural Monument. Who would actually OBJECT to such a proposal, to protect our park? Duh. I’ll give you one try: 2 1/2 words.
If you guessed Tom La Bonge, you’re right! It’s really Councilman Tom LaBonge. (I disagree with much of his actions, but I respect his position.) But the strangeness continues, because apparently the Cultural Heritage Commissioners just don’t bother to SHOW UP when there is an important resolution like this. I guess they get a little anxious when there’s confrontation. Especially from a Councilman. And if not enough of them show up, no meeting. So the next meeting is October 30, and everyone is invited, costumed or un.
George Grace, who organized the badly needed only animal website about Griffith Park (besides this blog!), has put together an online petition for you to express yourself and tell the city you want the park protected. We only have 53 people signed up so far, and we’re trying for at least 1000. It’s short and sweet, so do it.
