One knows its a slow news day when the Signal big news stories include:
On a more serious note:
January 31, 2012 Daily Brief-"The Slow News Day Edition"
- Announcement of a dog license sweep in unincorporated Valencia;
- YMCA has a Pinewood Derby at Saugus High School;
- Pictures of OLPH construction kickoff;
- Energy efficient lights at the City parks; and
- Overnight road closures on the 5 and 14.
- On an equally humorous note, Dave Bossert over at WRB pens a rambling tome on how ANYONE would be better on City Council than Laurie Ender, which then begs the question: Will his head explode when she comes first in the City Council election?
- In the "the po' people are going to murder us all in our sleep" department, our man Jon Hatami pens an alarmist piece equating the elimination of Section 8 fraud investigators in the Antelope Valley with the imminent invasion of a horde of undesirables into Santa Clarita, also (surprise, surprise) at WRB. Can someone tell me when it is safe to come out from under my bed?
On a more serious note:
- SIGNAL reports that two 11 year olds are detained after starting a brush fire in Canyon Country. YIKES!!! But in a wonderful twist one of the boys confesses to his father who actually brings him to the firefighters to confess.
- I'm not pleased about this one. SIGNAL reports how County will offer 50% off unpaid traffic tickets prior to January 1, 2009. Way to reward scofflaws!!
- Tea Partier Petz asks Santa Clarita government to interfere with people's constitutional right to "light up the night sky like its Vegas" in an LTE because he likes to look at the "stars." Sounds like educational elitism to me!
