This week’s city council meeting was filled with accolades and fond memories of Eloy Morales, Sr., the father of one of Inglewood’s most tenured council members, District 2 Council Member Eloy Morales.

Morales, Sr. was credited with starting the city’s youth soccer program many years ago and was remembered for the positive mentoring he provided for Inglewood’s youth. Mayor Butts echoed the positive remarks about Morales, Sr. and stated that he was indeed an unsung community icon in the City of Inglewood, as he closed the council meeting in his honor.

Getting on with city business, the council authorized the payment

of invoices submitted by Constant Associates for emergency COVID-19 services provided to support the Office of Emergency Services during the beginning stages of the COVID-19 pandemic and invoice No. 0921 submitted by Mr. Guy Black for services rendered at the Unity Rally Event held at the Forum on June 6, 2020..

The council adopted a resolution amending the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Budget to transfer funds in the amount of $23,000 to the Finance Department to fund Agreement No. 21-003 with HdL Coren & Cone.

The council executed a Grant Agreement offer of $3,750,000 with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the Airport Improvement Program

Council members announced two food giveaway programs, sponsored

by Los Angeles City Council Member and 2nd District Los Angeles County Supervisor candidate Herb Wesson. On October 16th Member Franklin will join Wesson at Monroe Middle School and on October 20th Member Padilla will join Wesson at La Tijera Middle

School for a food giveaway.

Member Padilla posted a picture of the official ballot box that has been placed in front of the entrance to Rogers Park where voters may drop off their completed ballot.

City Clerk Yvonne Horton announced that mail-in ballots have been distributed and she urged all registered voters to VOTE! Mayor Butts indicated that applicants responded to advertisements in INGLEWOOD TODAY and KJLH for rental assistance and 248 Inglewood residents will receive $1,278 million for up to three months rent to ease the burden of lost and reduced income as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

County Supervisors Outraged at Ending Census Count Supreme Court Ruling Permits Census Bureau to End 2020 Count Weeks Ahead of October 31 Deadline; Residents Urged to Meet New Deadline of October 15

It News Wire

The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to permit the Census Bureau to cut short the 2020 Census count drew broad criticism from leaders, including the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, who said the ruling will lead to an inaccurate and incomplete count that will profoundly affect funding and political representation for the next decade.

Supervisors urged anyone who has not yet filled out their census form to

immediately go to my2020census.gov and make sure they are counted before the new deadline of Thursday, October 15. Residents can also call 844-3302020, or mail in their completed form as long as it is postmarked by October 15. Ten minutes to complete their form can lead to 10 years of urgently needed resources for our communities, they emphasized.

“When we count each member of our community, more crucial funding goes

to emergency services, health care and schools,” Board of Supervisors Chair Kathryn Barger said. “Any decision that makes it harder to count all our residents is a setback that deprives everyone of essential resources.”

The move is expected to lead to an undercount in communities of color and other hard-to-count areas, the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars for critical services and a loss of political representation in Washington for the

next 10 years. As of October 12, 2020, the County’s self-response rate is 64.9% which is behind the 2010 final self-response rate of 69%. The 2010 Census resulted in an undercount in Los Angeles County even without a pandemic, leaving the likelihood of an even greater undercount in 2020.

“This is an outrageous and I believe politically motivated decision by the Continued on page 11

While still one of the newest members of the Bolts, Chris Harris Jr. is wasting no time getting involved in the Los Angeles community.

Last week, the four-time Pro Bowler set up a “Fun Friday” event at two Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro L.A. sites arranging for Hot Dog On A Stick food trucks at each location.

Although the 10th year cornerback is on injured reserve and unable to attend the event in person, kids were encouraged to take their photo with a life-size cutout of Harris Jr. after picking up their food.

“I started doing ‘Fun Fridays’ to try and give the kids something to look forward to, while helping to provide the basic necessities they need to thrive,” Harris Jr. said. “These are tough times for everyone, and I know every bit of help counts. This was my first Los Angeles foundation event, and I’m excited to be back helping in the community. Although I couldn’t be there in person, I’m glad my wife and foundation co-founder, Leah, was there to represent!”

Chris and Leah formed the Chris Harris Jr. Foundation in 2012 to provide underprivileged youth, aka ‘underdogs,’ with unique opportunities

so they can more adequately achieve their goals.

Harris Jr. always viewed himself as an underdog, since the Super Bowl Champion was not heavily recruited out of high school and went undrafted after a successful college career.

The Tulsa, Okla. native believes there are thousands of children in Los Angeles and across the country who are also underdogs, so his foundation’s mission is to help those kids rise above their circumstances and strive for greatness.

Vo t e l i k e y o u r l i f e d e p e n d s o n i t As a Black person, I admit that voting has not always been a paramount civic duty of mine.

Like many of you I have frequently used worn out excuses such as it’s not going to matter. Or, they will make the choice that they want it to be. My vote doesn’t really matter.

Sad, pathetic and true.

In 2008 while working for the Sentinel I met a young man who was voting for the first time. When I asked him why he was voting for Barack Obama his response was; “I don’t want

to be the one to mess it up, I want him to be proud of me.”

Obama became the first Black president in the history of the United States of America, there was euphoria at last, the red sea would split and the sky would surely open up.

Election 2020: Your Cheat Sheet for 12 Propositions to Know About Before Nov. 3 Quinci LeGardye | California Black Media

2020 is a big election year. With all eyes on the presidential race, Californians can’t afford to lose sight of our state and local elections. These decisions need the same amount of consideration being given to the big race. They are the ones with the most -- and the most immediate -- effects on you and your family’s safety, quality of life and finances.

This year, California as a whole is reckoning with some big changes.

The 12 qualified propositions on the ballot cover many issues, including tax codes, voting rights, workers’ rights and affirmative action. The results of these ballot measures will affect every life in California in some shape or form, and it’s important that voters understand them and make informed decisions on how to vote.

Prop 14 - Authorizes Bonds Continuing Stem Cell Research.

Initiative Statute.

Prop 14 considers bonds for stem-cell and other medical research.

If passed, the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine will issue $5.5 billion in state bonds to fund stem cell and other medical research, with $1.5 billion going to research and therapy for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, stroke, epilepsy and other brain and central nervous system diseases. Money would come from the state General Fund.

Proponents of Prop 14 argue that the funding will help accelerate

development of treatment and cures for many diseases, including cancer and infectious diseases like COVID-19.

Opponents of the measure say that the state can’t afford the debt from borrowing the $5.5 billion, which would reach $8 billion with interest added.

They also point out that the majority of the money from the first stem-cell research measure, Proposition 71 from 2004, went to infrastructure, education, and training, producing few medical breakthroughs.

Prop 15 - Increases Funding for Public Schools, Community Colleges, and Local Government Services

by Changing Tax Assessment of Commercial and Industrial Property.

Initiative Constitutional Amendment.

Prop 15 ask voters to weigh in on the biggest change to the state’s property tax code in four decades, since 1978’s Proposition 13. Prop 13 placed a 1 % cap on the amount of tax that can be charged on commercial properties in the state.

If passed, commercial and industrial property will be taxed based on current market value instead of the purchase price. It would replace the current rule, where property taxes can’t rise more than two percent unless there’s new construction or ownership, with tax reassessments of commercial and industrial properties at least every three years.

The new tax revenue this generates, an estimated $6.5 to 11.5 billion, will

State Offers New Rape, Assault Protections for Health Care Workers

Quinci LeGardye | California Black Media

California is expanding aid and protections to health care workers as the COVID-19 pandemic continues through two new laws and an executive order.

Late last month, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order that orders new actions on health care in response to the pandemic.

The order allows public health officials working to mitigate COVID-19 pandemic to participate in the Secretary of State’s addressconfidentiality program, known as the

Safe at Home program.

The Safe at Home program provides substitute addresses for groups that need protection against harassment or violence, including sexual assault and domestic violence victims. Multiple public health officials have reported receiving death threats, including Los Angeles County Health Director Barbara Ferrer and Santa Clara County Health Officer Dr. Sara Cody.

“Our public health officers have all Continued on page 11

fund K-12 public schools, community colleges and local governments. The measure would exempt residential properties and owners of commercial properties with a combined value of $3 million or less, and exempt small businesses from personal property tax.

Proponents of Prop 15 argue that the initiative would close corporate tax loopholes and force wealthy corporations to pay their fair share of taxes. They also argue that money is needed for schools and local communities struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Opponents of Prop 15 argue that wealthy corporations and landlords will probably pass the buck to tenants and small businesses, and that any tax raise would ultimately raise the cost of living in the state.

Prop 16 - Allows Diversity as a Factor in Public Employment, Education, and Contracting Decisions. Legislative Constitutional Amendment.

Prop 16, if passed, would remove California’s ban on affirmative action, which was put in place with Prop 209 in 1996. Repealing the ban on affirmative action would allow state agencies and institutions, including colleges and universities, to consider race, ethnicity and gender for employment, admissions and contracting decisions.

Proponents of Prop 16 argue that it would create targeted opportunities for Black and Latino communities and help to correct centuries of economic

exclusion and institutional racism.

They also argue that the measure is a way to address the racial wealth gap in California, a state where White Californians make up 60% of high earners though they’re only 37% of the state population.

Opponents of Prop 16 argue that the change would make race more important than merit in college admissions and employment processes, a form of reverse discrimination.

Prop 17 - Restores Right to Vote After Completion of Prison Term. Legislative Constitutional Amendment.

Prop 17 concerns voting rights for parolees. If passed, previously incarcerated people will be able to vote while on parole, instead of having to wait until the parole term is over. This would enfranchise over 50,000 parolees, who are disproportionately African American and Latino. California is currently one of three states that require incarcerated persons to finish their prison and parole terms before they can vote. Nineteen states allow parolees to vote.

Those in favor of Prop 17 argue that parolees have paid their debt to society and contribute to their communities through work and community service, so they should have a say in government.

Also, they argue that banning parolees from voting disenfranchises a large Continued on page 8

Sports & Entertainment LeBron and AD proves to be the Best Duo

By Tamara Latta, IT Reporter

As the saying goes, two heads are better than one.

In just their first season together, LeBron James and Anthony Davis were the best duo in the NBA this season, respectfully. The champions eliminated Portland, Houston, Denver and Miami before winning their first NBA championship in purple and gold.

And their championship run was far from uncomplicated.

The teams the Lakers faced on their championship journey were not horrendous. The Blazers were deemed as the “most lethal 8th seed of all time” the Rockets had two Hall of Famers in Harden and Russ, and Denver came back from a 3-1 deficit twice. The Miami Heat also beat a No.1 and No.3 seed in the Eastern Conference to earn their spot in the NBA Finals.

Not only did they send four teams home, they’d had to do it in an empty arena with no fans cheering them on.

But anything is possible with two AllStars on the roster.

James and Anthony are a special tandem but is it too premature to say they’re the best duo since Kobe Bryant and Shaq O’Neal? Not according to statistics and facts. James averaged 27 PPG, 10.4 RPG, 9 APG, 54% FG. On the other hand, Davis averaged 31.2 PPG, 6.2 RPG, 54.3 FG5.

The Lakers were also 18-1 this season when Davis and James combine for 60 points, including the playoffs. That is the 2nd-best record by a duo in NBA

history (min.15 games). Of course, the only duo better was Kobe and Shaq in 2000 (.952 win pct.- via Elias).

With that being said, it’s safe to say Davis and James are the greatest duo since Bryant and O’Neal.

Despite duo’s like Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, Russell Westbrook and James Harden, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George - we can arguably say that James and Davis are the best duo in the league right now.

Curry and Thompson AKA the splash brothers are known for their backcourt shooting and are said to be most dominant three-point shooting duo.

Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving has yet to play a game together but both received NBA 2K20 ratings in the 90’s.

Russell and Harden were then highest- scoring duo in the league this season and were on pace to become the highest-scoring duo of the last 50 years.

Leonard and George were predicted to be the first duo to stop James from recapturing the throne.

At the end of the day, not only do you have to win a title to prove you are the best duo in the league, you have to have chemistry and make your teammates better. Davis and James have accomplished all three. Which is why they are the best duo since Bryant and O’Neal. It’s not remotely close or open for debate.

Aaron Donald named Week 5 NFC Defensive Player of the Week

By Stu Jackson, Rams.com

After tying his career-high for sacks in a single game with four against Washington, Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald has been named NFC Defensive Player of the Week for Week 5.

Donald first recorded four sacks in a game in Week 7 of the 2018 season against the San Francisco 49ers. Last week’s performance brought Donald to 7.5 sacks on the 2020 season, most in the NFL entering Week 6.

In addition to those four sacks, Donald also tallied one forced fumble, three tackles for loss and three quarterback hits. His tackles for loss were a team-high, while his quarterback hits tied with linebacker Troy Reeder for the team lead.

This marks the seventh time in Donald’s career that he has won conference defensive player of the week honors, most recently receiving the recognition in Week 11 of the 2019 season.

Snoop Cali Red

BUPPIE | BUSINESS Calloway Girls Carve Own Power Space Ashley and Alexandra Continues Family Legacy

By Michelle Lyons, Columnist

19 crimes is the name of a wine that was founded in Australia in 2012. The wine was named after the 19 crimes that were federal offenses in Britain in the 18th century.

According to Wikipedia, “Between 1788 and 1868, about 162,000 convicts were transported from Britain and Ireland to various penal colonies in Australia.”

Today, 19 Crimes Wine is a red blend. A blend of Shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and Grenache from South Eastern Australia. According to Reverse Wine Snob, “the wine is aged in 100% American Oak”.

Recently, 19 crimes has been the talk of the town because the brand partnered with long beach native Snoop Dogg for his own “Snoop Cali Red”.

This is the first time the company has had someone on their label that wasn’t a notorious criminal of the 18th century.

Snoop Dogg is a renowned rapper, media personality, producer, entrepreneur, and now… a wine connoisseur.

Snoop Dogg’s fame along with the bottle’s unique innovative technology has made his wine a top seller.

19 crimes has it’s own app. If you download the app and take a picture of the label. The bottle label, which is Snoop Dogg, starts talking.

“Glasses up! Let’s make a toast to success and nothing less. Yes sir.” says Snoop on the label after you scan it.

I had a chance to catch up to Allen Hay, the owner of ABC Liquor Store in Belmont Shore. He said, “I’ve been carrying this wine for years now. It’s a good wine, but since Snoop has been on the label it’s selling so much more.

I don’t see what the big deal is, maybe because it’s his face. It taste very similar to the other bottle, but this one sells much better.”

Erin Gomez posted on Instagram a photo of the bottle and said, “I thought it was pretty good. I’m not a sweet fan either, so my expectations were low.”

The wine itself has mixed reviews, but in all everyone loves Snoop and the talking bottle.

The real question is what’s next or who’s next? This will most likely start a trend with rappers and influencers putting their image on products such as, “Rap Snacks” by Master P. With globalization at an all-time high, 19 crimes is a perfect example of perfect competition driving the market to create innovative ways to appeal to more consumers.

Alexandra & Ashley Calloway, Co-Owners Regency West

By Kenneth Miller, Publisher

It’s a Taco Tuesday at the Regency West located in Leimert Park and as the line outside continues to grow, Ashley Calloway wearing a red sweat shirt and grey sweat pants is directing security to hold the line.

While the music blasts outdoors, the scent of grilled tacos permeate the air, dominoes are being slapped on one table, a birthday celebrated at another, organic soap and incense being peddled in the back, the mood is festive and all of the COVID-19 regulations are being enforced.

This is the one place where urban Blacks gather religiously to smoke cigars, enjoy cocktails and enjoy the time of their lives.

At the helm of this operation is the next generation of family business owners, the daughters of acclaimed actress Vanessa Bell Calloway and

business mogul Tony Calloway who along with his father Fred owns the Regency West and the rest of the block at occupies it.

Meet 30-year-old Ashley and her 26-year old sister Alexandra, the coowners and acting general managers of the landmark Regency West.

Any notion one might have that these are two cute young women are riding on the family legacy can just as swiftly shove that aside.

For as long as they can remember a work ethic was instilled during dinnertime that consisted of hearty meals and conversations of their responsibility to resume the family business.

Fred is the matriarch; at 83 years old he still drives and has been a strong influence on both the girls.

“We have the best relationship. My grandfather is someone that my sister and I look up to. We talk to him all

the time. He still so business minded, attentive and loving. He’s just so proud of us. He’s our everything,” Ashley explained to Inglewood Today.

Along with Alexandra they run the day to day operations of the Regency West with their father Tony overseeing, but make no bones about it they are to two all hands on deck girls.

Instead of following in the footsteps of their mother, famously known as the character Imani Izzi in ‘Coming to America’, they aspired to follow the family’s business side.

However it does not imply they are not involved in the entertainment business, quite the contrary.

While they may not act like mom, they are intimately involved behind the scenes.

portion of the Black and Latino vote.

Opponents of the measure, primarily voter watchdog groups, argue that parole is a transition period and previously incarcerated persons have not paid their debt to society until after their parole is over.

Prop 18 - Amends California Constitution to Permit 17-Year-Olds to Vote in Primary and Special Elections If They Will Turn 18 by the Next General Election and Be Otherwise Eligible to Vote. Legislative Constitutional Amendment.

Prop 18 concerns the minimum voting age. If passed, young people who are 17-years-olds at the time of a primary or special election will be able to vote if they will turn 18 by the following general election and are otherwise eligible. This would allow these young adults to exercise their vote across a full election cycle.

Proponents of Prop 18 argue that 17-year-olds can make informed decisions about voting and should be allowed to participate in the full election cycle. They also argue that young people should have a say in issues that directly affect them, and that the change will inspire young people to get more engaged in politics.

Opponents of the measure say that 17-year-olds are still legal minors and can be unduly influenced by parents and teachers.

Prop 19 – Changes Certain Property Tax Rules. Legislative Constitutional Amendment.

Prop 19 proposes property tax code changes for older Californians and natural disaster victims. If passed, the proposition would give homeowners who are over 55, disabled, or victims of wildfires and other natural disasters a tax break, allowing them to transfer their primary home’s low property tax base to their new home when they move, up to three times.

It would also change the inheritance tax break to require heirs to use the inherited home as their primary residence within a year, or else the property tax will be reassessed to market value. If passed, local governments and schools could gain tens of millions of dollars in new property tax revenue per year, and the initiative would also establish a fund for fire protection.

Proponents argue that Prop 19 will provide tax relief for seniors who are stuck in houses that they can’t maintain or are too far from family or medical care. They also argue that narrowing the inheritance tax break would generate more revenue for local governments and schools, since people who use inherited property as rental units or second homes would be forced to pay more taxes.

Opponents argue that the initiative would increase inequality. They say it would put people who are struggling to buy a home at a disadvantage, giving more purchasing power to existing homeowners. Current law allows Californians move to transfer their low property tax rate to a new home only one time.

Prop 20 - Restricts Parole for Certain Offenses Currently Considered to Be Non-Violent. Authorizes Felony Sentences for Certain Offenses Currently Treated Only as Misdemeanors.

October 16-21, 2020 Initiative Statute.

Prop 20, if passed, would change procedures and standards for the state Board of Parole hearings and community probation programs, and expand the list of offenses that disqualify an inmate from parole. It would change several theft-related crimes from misdemeanors to felonies and create two new crimes, serial theft and organized retail theft. It would also expand DNA testing to require samples from some people convicted of theft and domestic violence.

Those who support Prop 20 argue that previous prison reforms, specifically propositions 47 in 2014 and 57 in 2016, led to an increase in crime by repeat offenders, and tougher parole standards are needed.

Opponents of Prop 20 argue that the measure is a prison spending scheme that will increase spending for prisons, money that should go to programs like schools, rehabilitation, mental health and homelessness.

Prop 21 Expands Local Governments’ Authority to Enact Rent Control on Residential Property.

Initiative Statute.

Prop 21 is the latest rent control proposition. If passed, it would amend state law to allow local governments to establish rent control for residential properties over 15 years old. Local rent-control limits can differ from the statewide limit, but local governments would be required to allow landlords to increase rents by 15 % after three years. Also, people who own no more than two housing units with separate titles, such as single-family homes and duplexes, are exempt from rent control.

Currently, 64% of African Americans in California are renters.

Those in favor of Prop 21 argue that putting a cap on California’s skyhigh rents is a strategic move that will assist renters to stay in their homes and help prevent homelessness. Half of renter households in the state are overburdened and spend more than 30 % of their incomes on rent, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Opponents, primarily developers, landlords and business owners, argue that rent control would discourage construction and take affordable units off the market.

Prop 22 - Exempts App-Based Transportation and Delivery Companies From Providing Employee Benefits to Certain Drivers. Initiative Statute Prop 22 is about employment classification for rideshare and delivery drivers, affecting the companies Uber, Lyft and DoorDash, among others. If it passes, these companies will be allowed to continue to classify their drivers as independent contractors with benefits from those app-based companies, including a base wage and healthcare subsidies. Currently, these drivers are legally classified as employees under AB-5.

Proponents of the ballot measure argue it would allow gig drivers, who are majority African American and Latino, to keep their flexibility and continue earning income in a turbulent economy.

Those against Prop 22 argue that it would allow the companies to underpay their drivers, and exempt gig companies from providing standard benefits that

drivers need, like unemployment insurance, paid time off, and workers compensation.

Prop 23 - Authorizes State Regulation of Kidney Dialysis Clinics. Establishes Minimum Staffing and Other Requirements. Initiative Statute.

Prop 23 regards state regulation of dialysis clinics. If Prop 23 passes, all dialysis clinics would require at least one licensed physician on site during treatment. It would also require clinics to report infection data to state health officials and require state approval for clinics to close or reduce services.

State and local health care costs would increase due to increased dialysis treatment costs.

Supporters of Prop 23 argue that the regulations are necessary to keep large dialysis corporations in line.

Opponents of Prop 23 argue that many dialysis clinics would have to restrict hours or shut down if they had to pay a licensed physician, and that dialysis patients would have trouble affording increased treatment costs.

They also note that the proposition does not require that the physicians have any specialized knowledge in dialysis or kidney function.

Prop 24. Amends Privacy Laws.

Initiative Statute.

Prop 24 concerns consumer data privacy laws, which prevent businesses from sharing personal information gathered digitally, including from websites. If passed, it would strengthen the California Consumer Privacy Act by letting consumers tell businesses to limit the use of their sensitive data, such as an individual’s exact location and race, and prohibiting businesses from keeping consumer data for longer than necessary.

It would also establish a new state agency dedicated to enforcing privacy laws and increase financial penalties for violations concerning consumers under age 16.

N a t i o n a l N e w s Kanye is on Your 2020 California Ballot as a Vice Presidential Candidate

Tanu Henry | California Black Media

When you get your California election ballot soon – that’s if you don’t have it already --expect to see Kanye West’s name on it.

The 43-year-old rapper and business mogul is on the California ballot as the candidate for vice president on the American Independent Party (AIP) ticket. The presidential candidate on the AIP ticket is San Diego-based Mexican American businessman Roque “Rocky” De La Fuente Guerra.

Founded in 1967, the AIP is a farright political party and is one of the fastest growing political organizations in the state with nearly half a million registered members, according to an LA Times survey. Many of those Californians say, though, they did not realize they had registered with the party and were not informed about its platform that is pro-life, anti-gay

marriage, anti-gun control and antiimmigration.

The AIP is also the party that nominated racist and segregationist Alabama Gov. George Wallace for president in 1968. The party also nominated Pres. Trump for president in 2016, although the current POTUS did not accept or acknowledge the honor.

Geurra, a 66-year-old car dealer, has appeared on the ballot in several races around California and in other parts of the country running for POTUS, senator, governor and mayor.

Both West and Guerra say they were not informed about their nominations by the AIP before their names appeared on the 2020 California ballot. In different races for political office, Guerra has been affiliated with the Reform Party, the American Delta Party, Natural Law Party, Alliance Party, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party.

“I am campaigning to be next

president of our great country – not vice president,” West said in a statement last week after news broke that the AIP had put him on its ticket. “The political party in California that listed my name as its VP candidate has done so without my knowledge.”

Instead of voting for him as the vice-presidential candidate on the AIP ticket, West is asking Californians to write him in for president at the bottom of the ticket.

“Californians, I ask you for your vote for president and urge you to write in ‘Kanye West,’” he says.

On the Fourth of July, West announced his own campaign for the United States presidency on the “Birthday Party” ticket.

“We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for President of the United States,” West tweeted on Independence

Day, followed by the hasthtag #vision2020.

So far, West is on the ballot in 12 states on the “Birthday Party” ticket.

They are Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Vermont, Oklahoma, Utah, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, and Colorado.

He missed deadlines to file in 28 other states, including California.

AIP vice chairman Markham Robinson has admitted he wants to steal votes away from Democratic Party nominee Joe Biden in the Nov. 3 general election. He says another reason the party nominated West is his faith.

“His platform was really pretty good. We loved the fact that he used scriptural references to justify his points,” Robinson told Newsweek.

to the tee because you are calling the shots. You are the one saying action and knowing how long you have for a shot. You have to be very organized and pay attention to detail just as I would do in business and it has transformed into managing the Regency West,” Alexandra added.

Ashley elaborated on the importance of have a “real” job that inspires the passion to operate the Regency West.

“Very much so transferrable skills

because to have our real jobs is really helpful because it gives of passion to do the business of the Regency West because we have something else too and that one thing coincides with the other.

And the fact that we are able to use that space for our entertainment endeavors.

The Regency has been used to shoot comedy specials and short films.”

The family has owned the block that occupies the Regency West since 1974 and it has been the cornerstone of

business ever since.

Credit both parents Vanessa Bell Calloway and Tony with deciding their daughters were capable of handling the responsibly of ownership.

Ashley and Alexandra have demonstrated they are steely capable, intellectually qualified and committed to continue a legacy built on star power, hard work and sacrifice.

Meanwhile the soft-spoken Alexandra recently graduated from the prestigious New York Film Academy and is currently directing an untitled documentary.

Alexandra says directing and coowning the family business goes hand in hand.

Supreme Court. Accurate census data helps fund important research and programs that strengthen our public health system. Our communities depend on the census for hospital and medical resources that keep our families safe in times like these, and these efforts to derail a complete count are cruel,” Supervisor Hilda L. Solis, Board of Supervisors Chair Pro Tem said.

“The impact of this decision on minority communities throughout LA County cannot be overstated. The court is compounding significant and unnecessary confusion sown by the President and his Administration to disrupt efforts to make sure every household is counted,” Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas said. “We must appeal this matter further because to be undercounted is to be underrepresented, and to be underrepresented is to be underfunded and we simply cannot let that be the case. We must all stand up to be counted.”

This census count has been unlike any other as the pandemic forced L.A. County to shift outreach strategies. In every other census, field outreach like door-to-door canvassing, community events and church visits have helped educate residents about completing the census.

“This decision is a blow to everyone who has worked so hard for a complete count. I urge everyone to go online immediately and fill out your Census form now, and take a stand against those

October 16-21, 2020 who want to deprive our community of its fair share of resources for schools, hospitals, parks, housing and roads over the next 10 years,” Supervisor Sheila Kuehl said.

Getting an accurate count this year would help ensure L.A. County is equipped to handle crises like the COVID-19 outbreak in the future.

Funding for health care and other emergency response programs depend on census data. Supervisors warned that the undercount from the this shortened deadline could cause irreparable harm for the next ten years.

“This census was already a huge challenge because of COVID-19, and now we have an 11th hour Supreme Court decision that clears the way for the Census Bureau to shut down the count early. I urge every single resident to go online now and complete your form before it’s too late,” Supervisor Janice Hahn said. “It’s an investment in our future, and will determine our ability to support our hospitals and emergency services, and provide for our residents for years to come.”

The census influences billions in federal funding for local hospitals, parks, schools and affordable housing programs in L.A. County. Census data guides funding for programs including the Title I School Funding, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, WIC, Head Start and community health centers funded through the Health Resources and Services Administration Health Center Program.

too often faced targeted harassment and stalking,” said Secretary of State Alex Padilla. This “program can help provide more peace of mind to the public health officials who have been on the frontlines of California’s COVID-19 response.”

The order also authorizes the Department of Managed Health Care to gather data to assess the impacts of the pandemic on health care providers and health care service plans.

Gov. Newsom also recently signed two bills, AB 2537 and SB 275, that would increase the amount of personal protective equipment (PPE) for health care workers.

Assemblymember Freddie Rodriguez (D-Pomona) introduced AB 2537. The law requires hospitals to stockpile a three-month supply of PPE by April 2021.

“We are currently experiencing something we haven’t before, and healthcare workers are at the frontlines of it all. While dealing with this pandemic, the last thing our workers should be worried about is whether or not, they will be protected from exposure. We must protect those providing care so that they too can continue to do their work,” said Rodriguez.

SB 275 mandates the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to establish a 90-day PPE stockpile for health care and other essential workers within one year. It also requires major health care employers, such as

Even members of his own political party sided against him in the Democratic controlled House and Senate. They could not get a darn thing done, and the midterm came and they lost that control.

The Dems have yet to gain control of the Senate since, and it has had some costly ramifications.

Obama’s landmark Affordable Care Act was barely passed, and now because of primarily voter apathy and sentiment that Obama was not Black or brash enough we are in this position.

To their credit, the Republicans probably don’t care for Trump any more than you do, but he is a tool to achieve all of the gains that conform to their conservative views.

Because people didn’t not like Hilary Clinton, America got Donald Trump and he is doing what he promised, tear this system apart.

His candidacy also cost the Democrats the Supreme Court.

This election is without question the most important of my lifetime. And today I am so much more appreciative of those who were beaten, jailed, hosed and died for my right to participate in the electoral process that shapes and governs how I live, where I live and even if I do live.
