L-E headline/story: "Sheriff: East Wing entrance to Government Center to close * Those wishing to visit the Government Center must now do so through the South Entrance." --
It's amazing how when 'the government' has to make cuts in budget items, it does so by finding ways to inconvenience the public. There are two South Entrances..one on the Plaza Level that hasn't been used in recent years (and is not handicap friendly) and one on ground level. Most of us have been through the ground level entrance and know it is inadequate to process many people at any one time even when the 3rd Ave entrance is open. Surely, our Council can come up with another way to cut costs without further inconveniencing the private citizens who need to get to government office.

Meanwhile, back at the TSA 'ranch', a 95 year old, cancer-stricken, wheel chair bound grandmother was made to remove her 'adult diaper'. Why bother with pre-flight patdowns if TSA is only going to inconvenience legitimate passengers while the terroristic minded can get on a flight anyway.

Emperor O'Bozo chided the Senate to resume work by saying he was still here doing his work of making tough decisions on spending... Yeah, like whether to vacation in Hawaii or Martha's Vineyard.
