Skid Row Legislation To Be Announced Today

Central City East Blogger has posted State Senator Cedillo’s press release announcing that at 12 noon today he will be presenting new proposed laws to deal with Skid Row. Here is the link.

Among those to be at the press conference are City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo, Councilmember Jan Perry and Police Chief William Bratton.

This, of course, is not the solution to ending homelessness in Los Angeles County. But in these leaders’ minds, it is a proactive response.

I reviewed this new bill in a previous post. I will add more comments to this bill later.
