Derailing L.A.new
Damien Goodmon wants to halt the L.A.'s light rail project in its current form and place the line underground. Along the way, he's aligned himself with remnants of some of the same ugly forces that have impeded mass transit since racism and fear stopped the Red Line subway in the 1980s.

Liars in the Pulpitnew
It's hard to sit here and listen to the Rev. Ed Bacon and not think that the Pharisees have entered the temple again. The sophistry, spinning, and sheer avoidance of truth rivals anything uttered in Jerusalem 2,000 years ago.
