WHY LOS ANGELES IS DYING

Ken Berwitz

There are countless things I could write below that title.  But here is the latest, excerpted from an article at the CBS News LA web site:

When you head down to the beach for a little fun this summer, county officials want you to leave the pigskin at home.

The Board of Supervisors this week agreed to raise fines to up to $1,000 for anyone who throws a football or a Frisbee on any beach in Los Angeles County.

In passing the 37-page ordinance on Tuesday, officials sought to outline responsibilities for law enforcement and other public agencies while also providing clarification on beach-goer activities that could potentially disrupt or even injure the public.

The updated rules now prohibit “any person to cast, toss, throw, kick or roll” any object other than a beach ball or volleyball “upon or over any beach” between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Toss a football or a frisbee on the beach - regardless of how far (even if it is to your child, from one end of your beach blanket to the other- assuming LA still allows beach blankets, that is) and you are not only breaking the law, but subject to a fine of $1,000.

Why not make it $1,000,000? 

Let's see what disappears first:  the deficit or the beachgoers.

I will not call this ordinance idiotic, because that would unfairly attack idiocy.

Zeke .... Nothing except a beach ball or a volley ball on the beach ? ... .... This is a terrific law --- it will solve California's fiscal problems by June. .... ... People will be lining up for miles to toss politicians like Nancy Pelosi, Jerry Brown, Gavin Newsome around on the beach. .... ... Maybe even take a whack at them with a frisbee. .... ... They'll be paying the one grand with a smile. .... ..... (02/09/12)
