                        <description><![CDATA[ <pre>WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Judicial Watch, the public interest<br />group that investigates and prosecutes corruption, today announced that on<br />January 17, 2006, Jesse Lee Peterson, et al., v. Jesse Jackson, et al.<br />(BC 266505) will go to trial in Los Angeles County Superior Court after a<br />ruling last week by Judge George H. Wu.  Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit<br />against Jackson, his son Jonathan, and others on behalf of Rev. Jesse Lee<br />Peterson, who was the victim of a physical and verbal assault at an event<br />hosted by Jackson's Rainbow/PUSH Coalition and Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A.,<br />Inc. in December 2001.  Rev. Peterson is an ordained minister, who has<br />dedicated his life to working with underprivileged black youth and men in our<br />society.<br />    The Jacksons and the Rainbow/PUSH coalition, who had sought to have the<br />case dismissed, will now face multiple civil charges, including: Assault,<br />Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress and a California Civil Rights<br />Claim.  Jonathan Jackson also will face the additional charges of Battery and<br />False Imprisonment. <a href="http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/09-21-2005/0004112613&EDATE="  target="_blank" target='_blank'>More</a></pre> ]]></description>

			<title>Ex-Lynwood mayor arrested for allegedly soliciting a prostitute</title>

                        <description><![CDATA[ LOS ANGELES - Former Lynwood Mayor Paul Richards, who is scheduled to
go on trial next week on federal corruption charges, was arrested on
suspicion of soliciting a prostitute.
Richards, 49, was taken into custody Wednesday by police vice officers
shortly before noon and booked on a misdemeanor prostitution charge. He
was being held on $2,000 bond.
Richards had been free on $100,000 bond in the federal case. One
condition is that he not violate any federal, state or local criminal
law.
Any decision to revoke his bond would rest with U.S. District Judge
Gary Klausner, who will preside over the corruption trial.
Richards served on the Lynwood City Council for 17 years until he was
ousted in a recall election in 2003. He was indicted by a federal grand
jury last year on charges of steering a series of lucrative city
contracts to a company he secretly owned.<br  /><br  />

			<title>Gardena Considers Fee Hikes as Debt Repayment Looms</title>

                        <description><![CDATA[ <span class="article">A
deadline is looming for Gardena: Pay $26 million in loans by the end of
August — or face possible bankruptcy. The city, however, is hoping for
its third loan extension. In a bid to show its creditors that it is
serious about fiscal prudence, the City Council today will consider
about 100 fee increases for city services, the Los Angeles Times
reported. The proposed increases would hit new card club employees,
fortunetellers, junk collectors and junk dealers hardest. City
officials say the fee hikes could provide an additional $480,000 a year
in revenue. But critics say the city is trying to solve its fiscal woes
by dipping into the pockets of those who can least afford it<br  />

                        <description><![CDATA[ NEW ORLEANS -- Federal prosecutors are seeking to have lawyers for two
associates of former mayor Marc Morial kicked off a high-profile
corruption case.
The lawyers represent Kerry DeCay, Morial's former city property
manager, and Reginald Walker, a businessman close to the former mayor.
The two were indicted last month, along with a third businessman in
Morial's circle, Stan "Pampy" Barre, in a kickback-and-skimming scheme
prosecutors say cost New Orleans hundreds of thousands of dollars.<br  /><br  /><a href="http://www.theneworleanschannel.com/news/4729642/detail.html"  title="TheNewOrleansChannel.com - News - Feds Seek Lawyers\' Removal From N.O.

                        <description><![CDATA[ If we really want to do something about our electile dysfunction, we're
going to have to do a lot more than pop a redistricting pill.
Thanks in large part to Dr. Schwarzenegger, Californians will be voting
on a prescription for redistricting reform this November. But while a
more neutral drawing of legislative district boundaries may lessen the
symptoms of California's political disorder, it won't cure the disease.
The real problem in California politics is the size of legislative
districts -- as measured by population, not their shape.<br  /><br  />
