Up through the ranks: Eve Irvine is the fourth female police chief in Los Angeles County history

I'm happy to report that Chief Eve Irvine is not only an experienced professional, but also a delightful individual and a great new member of the Manhattan Beach community! - David

Sunny Outlook for Refreshing Shade in King Harbor

Mike Zislis, one of the South Bay's most productive and successful entrepreneurs, now gets to build a beautiful new hotel in what has long been a badly under-performing section of King Harbor.  I'm pleased to see that Redondo Beach Councilman Bill Brand, who I had the pleasure of meeting over the weekend at a candidate event, is lending support to this deserving development and beautification effort.  The public's passage of Measure G, allowing reasonable development and removing the unfortunate blockade which had stymied sensible land usage, helped clear the way after a multi-year logjam. - David

A Little Shameless Self-Promotion

Admission: This post is nothing but self-promotion. It's an upcoming ad for your blogger truly to appear in local publications the Beach Reporter and perhaps the Easy Reader. 

Couldn't do that if this blog was anonymous, could I?

Having nothing to hide, this blog carries an honest byline and agenda-free content (except for the occassional shameless bits of self promotion, that is)!- David
