Whats Cooking In Inglewood
Charles Jackson
Over two Decades ago, from the dais at Inglewood city hall, former Inglewood Mayor
Roosevelt Dorn declared that “now was the time to buy property in Inglewood”.Fast forward to 2010, and James T. Butts captured the Mayoral seat, with a grand
vision to revitalize the City of Champions. With an 18 million dollar investment the city partnered with Chase Bank and Madison Square Gardens to rank the Forum among the highest ranked venues in the nation. We’re back. The growth of the city has been nothing less than phenomenal. Soon to be a metropolitan transportation hub, sport’s juggernaut, and overall entertainment metropolis. This morning, I just wanted some breakfast. I had heard about a new eatery in Inglewood, by the name Hilltop Cafe Kitchen. The restaurant is a second location owned by partners Ajay Relan and Yonatan Hagos, who have also owned a location by the same name just across the LA/Inglewood border on Slauson Ave. since 2018. If you’re a fan of the well received series, INSECURE, then you will recognize their new partner and part owner of the new venture, Issa Rae. This locationis right in the middle of downtown Inglewood, across the street from city hall, and the newly introduced Astra. Knowing the area, I expected parking to be a problem, so I parked at the Astra. The restaurant doesn’t presently offer validated parking over there, but public parking is free for one hour and $2.50 every 15 minutes after that. I took a quick walk over the crosswalk, to the front door right on the south east corner of La Brea and Regent.
Before entering the spot I had few preconceived notions about the restaurant or its faire, and the notions that I brought with me were mostly wrong. It’s clean and well appointed with an upscale trendy style of art and signinage. I would describe it more akin to a barrister fountain, leading with coffee, breads, danish and sweet rolls on display. Just this side of the Thanksgiving feast, I needed to watch my figure, so I opted for a black coffee and a simple egg breakfast sandwich, which was delicious. My server, Derek had my order in my hands, within five minutes. I became acutely aware that nobody else in the house had gray hair, and I was among a bunch of recent college graduates. They either came in, grabbed a latte, tapped a debit card and headed out to sights unknown, or they ordered a light
breakfast, grabbed a booth and nibbled at it with their nose buried in an electronic device. So it’s not your daddy’s breakfast nook. In fact if you’re of a certain age, get there early because I did not see an elevator to the upper deck. Still it was a great experience. Ms. Rae has assembled a perfect team to meet the cosmopolitan direction of the sport and entertainment minded tourists and fast paced individuals, poised to take advantage of the many changes hovering just over the horizon. There is a quiet ambiance in the space, the food is not too expensive, and the house is staffed with a friendly, well oiled machine. Derek. My, my server even remembered my name, on the way out the door. Their catch phrase is Breakfast, & lunch plates & pastries, served up in a chilled-out coffee shop with an airy dining room. 170 N La Brea Ave, Inglewood, CA 90301 findyourhilltop.com

Power, and other executives from cities around the region. In Senate Run, Rep. Barbara Lee Takes Lead in Democratic Convention Delegate Poll In almost every poll conducted so far on the 2024 California senatorial election, Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA-12) has trailed her two closest opponents in the race, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA-30)
Last week, the California Commission on Aging (CCoA) announced that it has re-elected Cheryl Brown as its Chair at its Nov. 9, general meeting in Sacramento. “Chair Brown will guide the Commission with Vice-Chair David Lindeman, who was also re-elected for the 2024 term,” read the press statement from the CCoA.

and Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA-47). However, a poll conducted at the California Democratic Party Convention in Sacramento -- which began Nov. 17 and was shut down a day later due to pro-Palestinian protests -- Lee’s fate changed. On Nov. 20, Lee’s campaign issued an announcement. “We want to make sure you heard some exciting news. At the California Democratic Party Convention this past weekend, delegates came together to vote on an endorsement in the U.S. Senate race,” the message read. “While no candidate received the endorsement (as there is now a 60% threshold), Congressmember Barbara Lee came out on top!” In the Democratic delegate poll, Lee led with 41.47% (963 votes), bb followed by Schiff with 40.18% (933 votes) and Porter with 16.06% (373 votes). “While other candidates used their massive fundraising war chests to influence the voting, we organized on the ground, delegate by delegate, to come out on top. And this is exactly how we are going to win this primary race in March,” said Lee. Retired Assemblymember Cheryl Brown Re-Elected for Second Term as Chair of California Commission on Aging
Brown, who served two terms in the Assembly representing the 47th district from 2012 to 2016, brings a diverse personal, professional and public experience, as well as range of skills, to her role on the Commission, including working as a family caregiver. Brown has served as a county urban planner and she is the former co-publisher of the Black Voice News in Riverside, along with her husband Hardy Brown. After winning re-election, Brown thanked the CCoA. “I believe in the “California for All” message. To that effort, I want to make multi-generational activities key. We will celebrate 50 Years as a Commission next year and I’m looking forward to leading that effort,” said Brown, who served as a founding member of the Stakeholder Advisory Committee for the California Master Plan on Aging (MPA), in a statement. The CCoA praised Brown for her accomplishments during her first term. “Chair Brown led the advancement of CCoA policy priorities, and legislation, and raised the visibility of the Commission,” the statement read.

On Nov. 20, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the California Highway Patrol (CHP) is increasing statewide efforts to combat organized retail crime. “When criminals run out of stores with stolen goods, they need to be arrested and escorted directly into jail cells,” Newsom said in a statement. “Leveraging hundreds of millions of dollars in law enforcement investments, the California Highway Patrol — working with allied agencies — is increasing enforcement efforts and conducting and supporting covert and confidential takedowns to stop these criminals in their tracks during the holiday season, and year-round.” As part of the Governor’s Real Public Safety Plan, the CHP is increasing its law enforcement presence in key retail districts across California and its Organized Retail Crime Task Force (ORCTF) is increasing enforcement efforts through proactive and confidential law enforcement operations with allied agencies and retail store security outfits through the holidays -- keeping more shoppers, merchants, and retail districts safe.

the state and the rapport we have cultivated with the retail industry.” “My office takes these cases seriously and will continue to do our part to hold those who engage in this behavior accountable,” said Jenkins. “These crimes are deeply impactful and will not be tolerated. Law enforcement agencies are working together to identify, arrest, and prosecute the thieves and those who traffic in stolen merchandise.” Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney John McKinney has been a vocal critic of current DA George Gascón because the Sheriff’s Department will no longer detain suspects over crimes like theft and shoplifting since new zero-bail policy went into effect on Oct. 1. “These robberies aren’t borne out of desperation. They’re the result of having a district attorney who won’t enforce the law,” McKinney told California Black Media. “As long as criminals know there won’t be any accountability for their actions, then retail businesses of all sizes will continue to operate in constant fear and eventually depart for safer cities. Beefing up law enforcement may provide some deterrence, but, ultimately, we need a district attorney that understands accountability is a necessary part of a safe and functioning society.”

2024 Legislative Session: Black Caucus Members Named as Committee Chairs Antonio Ray Harvey| California Black Media
Several Black legislators serving in the California state Assembly have been appointed as committee chairs for the 2024 legislative session. All are members of the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC). Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Hollister), who was elected to the position five months ago, made the announcement Nov. 21. “The Assembly is unified and ready to deliver,” Rivas said in a statement. “That’s what Californians expect from their Legislature and that’s what this team will achieve.” In a statement to Assembly Chief Clerk Sue Parker, Rivas, who succeeds former Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood), appointed these CLBC members to chair committees: Assemblymember Mike Gipson (D-Carson), chair of the Arts, Entertainment, Sports, and Tourism Committee; Assemblymember Mia Bonta (D-Alameda), chair of the Health Committee; Assemblymember Isaac Bryan (D-Ladera Heights), chair of the Natural Resources Committee; Assemblymember Kevin McCarty (D-Sacramento), chair of the Public Safety Committee; and CLBC chair Lori Wilson (D-Suisun City), chair of the Transportation Committee. Assemblymember Tina Mckinnor (D-Inglewood) serves as chair of the Public Employment and Retirement Committee. “I am thankful to @ CASpeakerRivas for entrusting me with the responsibility of chairing the Committee on Arts, Entertainment, Sports, and Tourism. Ready to get things done, and fully committed to collaborating with all Members and building on @QuirkSilvaCA’s time as Chair,” Gipson posted Nov. 22 on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. McCarty expressed his commitment to work in the interest of his constituents and others around the state. “Many topics this panel covers are top of mind for all Californians. “I look forward to moving balanced and common-sense policies next year.” Bonta thanked Rivas for putting his faith and trust in her and Assemblymember Jim Wood, who
represents the Second Assembly District. Wood was appointed Speaker pro Tempore. “I’m honored and humbled to serve as Assembly Health Chair,” Bonta posted on the social media platform X. “I look forward to fighting for true access to high quality, affordable healthcare for all Californians.” In addition to the CLBC members assuming committee leadership roles, Assemblymember Akilah Weber (D-La Mesa) has been appointed as chair of the No. 1 Budget Subcommittee on Health and Assemblymember Corey Jackson (D-Riverside) is taking the helm of the No.2 Budget Subcommittee on Human Services. Weber is currently running to replace Sen. Toni Atkins (D-San Diego), who terms out in 2024. Assemblymembers Chris Holden (D-Pasadena) and Reggie JonesSawyer (D-Los Angeles), who are termed out at the end of 2024, have been replaced as chairs of the Appropriations and Public Safety committees, respectively. JonesSawyer is running for the L.A. City Council District 10 seat and Holden is running to serve on the L.A. County Board of Supervisors. McCartys’ Assembly term ends
at the end of 2024, because he has chosen to run for Mayor of Sacramento instead of seeking reelection for his Sixth District seat. Several Sacramento insiders who wished to remain anonymous, expressed their surprise to California (CBM) about Rivas’ decision to replace Bryan, the former Assembly Majority Leader, with Assemblymember Cecilia AguiarCurry (D-Davis). In that role, Bryan was second-incommand in the Assembly. In his new role as chair of the Natural Resources Committee, Bryan will oversee state agency activities and Assembly policy involving air quality, climate change, energy efficiency, renewable energy, California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), coastal protection, forestry, land conservation, oil spills, solid waste and recycling. Bryan went on record to publicly accept his new role with grace. “I’m looking forward to Chairing the Natural Resources Committee next session. Thank you @ CASpeakerRivas for this important appointment,” Bryan stated Nov. 21 on X. Rivas appointed 17 women to leadership positions, a new record for the Assembly. Wilson, who
was formerly Majority Whip, is now the first Black woman in California history to serve as chair of the Assembly Transportation Committee. The Transportation Committee oversees legislation, public issues and the operations of several state agencies, including the California Highway Patrol, California Transportation Commission, Department of Motor Vehicles, Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and California HighSpeed Rail Authority. “It is an honor to be appointed to serve as the Chair of the Assembly Transportation Committee,” said Wilson in a statement. “Transportation impacts each and every Californian in a significant way,” Wilson continued. “From improving California’s public transit systems, to improving our roads and highways, transportation equity, expanding clean technology use, and mitigating the environmental impacts of our transportation sector, I’m ready to dig in on these crucial public policy challenges and map out a state transportation plan that addresses California’s needs for generations to come.”

Holiday Cost Cutting Tips for Small Businesses Aden Ferguson
The holiday season often means an increase in customers and revenue for small businesses, but it also comes with additional expenses. At a time of year when personal budgets are stretched thin, small business owners need creative ways to cut costs while still providing excellent service. We spoke with local financial experts and small business owners to compile some innovative ideas for reducing expenses this holiday season. Get Selective with Seasonal Hiring The holidays require extra staff to handle increased workloads. But hiring seasonal employees can become expensive, especially when considering training and payroll costs. Be selective when taking on temporary workers, advised Gabrielle, a regional HR consultant. Only bring on the minimum additional staff needed to provide good customer service. Cross-train current employees to take on extra duties instead of making too many new hires. Offer Select Discounts Strategically Holiday promotions and special offers can attract new customers, but margin-busting discounts may eat into your bottom line. “Avoid across the board percentage discounts that could gut your profits,” warned Karen, a marketing coach for entrepreneurs. She suggested targeted offers such as a free gift wrapping with purchases over $50 rather than a site wide 25% off everything sale. Handpick products or services to discount that still allow you to make decent money. Reduce Hours Strategically Trim opening hours to match prime selling times. Track your customer traffic patterns from prior years, advised a manager of a local retail store. You can likely condense hours during off-peak windows around the holidays to reduce
utility bills and staffing costs without revenue taking a big hit. Utilizing this strategy has shaved nearly 15% off payroll costs with careful holiday hours management for the last two years.
There are always opportunities to businesses can create margin preserving tighten the purse strings during the ways to operate lean this December hectic holiday months. With some while still spreading seasonal cheer strategic planning around hiring, discounts and hours adjustment, small

Legislature Revisits Bill That Would Increase Voter Registration Options for Californians Antonio Ray Harvey| California Black Media
A bill that would have given more “entities” the authority to register eligible voters in Californians, Senate Bill (SB) 299, stalled in the Senate Health Committee last June. The bill’s language also promises to further automate and streamline the voter registration process while adding safeguards to prevent voter fraud or unlawful voting. Two weeks ago, the Assembly Committee on Elections held an informational hearing on the bill, also known as the California New Motor Voter program. Supporters of the bill, including current and former California election officials, community members, students, and others testified before the committee. They detailed how the legislation could transform voting in California. “We definitely want to meet voters where they are. We’re looking at ongoing, sustainable funding, trusted messengers are key, and building those partnerships with communitybased organizations and county registrar of voters are imperative,” said Assemblymember Gail Pellerin (D-Santa Cruz), chair of the committee. “Improvements are needed to ensure that we have this accurate voter file. There is much still to be done to bridge the gap.” The purpose of the hearing was to discuss strategies for bridging voter turnout gaps, ensuring accurate registration, and reviewing the impact of recent electoral reforms. If lawmakers vote to pass SB 299 during the next legislative session, the law would “expand the definition of ‘voter registration agency’ to include all entities designated by the Secretary of State (SOS). Currently, eligible California residents are automatically registered or pre-registered to vote when they obtain or renew a license or state identification card at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or conduct other transactions. The DMV then sends their information to the SOS office for processing “unless the person opts out or is ineligible to vote,” as stated in the bill. SB 299 also provides an option for eligible Californians to decline to register to vote. Supporters of SB 299 are confident the law would enfranchise more voters who are Black or from other minority groups. During the hearing, Mindy Romero, founder and director of the Center for Inclusive Democracy at the University of Southern California, provided information on the turnout gap
between Black and White voters. Romero stated that in the 2020 general election, 64% of adult Black voters cast a ballot while 74.5% of White, non-Latino eligible voters went to the ballot box, a 10.5% turnout gap. In 2022, the gap drastically increased. White voters that cast a ballot decreased to 62.8% in the 2022 General Election while Black voters numbers fell to 43.3%. “What I really want to emphasize is we still have to make it easier to vote but we also have to make people want to vote. It’s the ‘motivation question,’” Romero said. “When we say motivation, it almost sounds like people are not caring. It’s a story, of course, of our electoral system today that has not supported these groups and made it harder to vote and made it harder to sell the importance of voting.” Several state agencies in California, such as Covered California, already have the authority to register or preregister voters. According to the National Voter Registration Act, federal law that authorizes states “to designate state government agencies and offices that offer public assistance or services to people with disabilities, as well as other suitable offices, as voter registrations agencies. Those voter registration agencies “could include schools, city and county clerk’s offices, fishing and hunting license bureaus, government revenue offices, and unemployment compensation offices.” Under SB 299, the SOS would have the authority to designate other entities to register Californians to vote and the process would be simplified with increased digitization. SB 299 is co-authored by Sen. Caroline Menjivar (D-Van Nuys) and Sen. Monique Limón (D-Santa Barbara). “Voting is one of the most powerful ways to initiate change in the United States, and simplifying voter registration will have an instant and dramatic effect on voter participation throughout California,” said Limón in statement. “We have taken significant steps in the right direction, but much more can be done to lift up the voices of historically disenfranchised communities.” SB 299 provides a path to 100% voter registration, advocates say. It was designed to align with similar legislation passed in Alaska, Delaware, DC, Colorado, New Mexico, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. Representatives of the California Grassroots Democracy (GDC) – an organization of 140-plus groups that
work together to promote legislation that expands voter registration -- spoke at the hearing. As of May 2022, the state had nearly 22 million registered voters, about 82% of adults in California who are eligible to vote, according to a Public Policy Institute of California report. Currently, California has 4.7 million eligible but unregistered voters, according to GDC. They are disproportionately from working-class Black, Latinx, and Asian American communities. Kristin Nimmers, policy and campaign manager for the California Black Power Network, said the state has tried to improve the voter registration process but there is a need to push bills that prioritize the most vulnerable populations, including eligible individuals who were formerly incarcerated. The other pressing barriers facing Black voters, Nimmers said, are a lack of understanding of the voting process due to information gaps and inadequate outreach, a mistrust of the system, and limited language access. Nimmers also reminded the committee that the COVID 19 pandemic has impacted the voting and registration behaviors in African American and Black immigrant communities. “Many of these conditions have worsened since the pandemic,” said Nimmers. “Black residents are facing gentrification and displacement and are moving out of traditional Black neighborhoods in Los Angeles and the Bay Area into areas like the Central Valley and Inland Empire. They aren’t updating their registration.”
