Recently visited El Segundo High School, one of the most beautiful public school campuses in the South Bay.
El Segundo has a great school district. Thank you Principal Mr Gebhard, Superintendent Dr Melissa Moore, School Board member Tracy Miller Zarnecke and staff for the great tour.
This morning, I presented $300,000 in state funds for the City of Lomita, California, at their State of the City event. The funds will go to water system infrastructure improvements in the city.
Thanks to Heidi Butzine, CEO/President of Lomita Chamber, Lomita Mayor Barry Waite, and the Lomita City Council. LAUSD Board Member Tanya Ortiz-Franklin also attended, along with several principals of LAUSD schools throughout Lomita and Harbor City.
Honoring our veterans at the Redondo Beach Veterans Memorial on this Veterans Day. With Lt Col Tom Lasser (ret) of RB Veterans Memorial Task Force, Col Mia Walsh, Base Commander of LA Air Force Base, and Chaplain Threatt, director of El Camino College Veterans Center.
I presented a check for another $5 million to the City of Redondo Beach to acquire land where the AES power plant is currently situated. The money will go towards the development of a city park. The state has now provided $15M for this project. Congrats to Redondo Beach!
I toured the Metro C-Line extension and observed the differences between several proposed routes. They include one that follows Hawthorne Boulevard and the original plan following the right-of-way along the freight tracks.
I favor the original plan, which is the least expensive and fastest to build.
Thank you to the Metro Los Angeles staff for the tour.
The City of Redondo Beach is a leader in the South Bay in getting the homeless into housing.
No one does this better than Lila Omura, who does homeless outreach and housing assistance for Redondo. She has dedicated her second career with a passion to help find housing for the unhoused. She knows Redondo's homeless by name, and many of them love and trust her, because she fights the bureaucracy for them. We spent the morning driving all over town, where she knows where to find them and asks them if they need help.
I learned a lot from being on the ground with Lila for just a few hours.
One woman shared her personal story of how she was struggling with addiction and living on the streets, and Redondo's homeless court and treatment programs turned her life around.
Lila is a South Bay hero, an angel for the homeless.
