Election deflection?
By repeating false and unsubstantiated voter fraud allegations as the cause for losing the popular vote, President Trump is dangerously attacking the legitimacy of free and fair elections and taking a jackhammer to the foundation of our democracy. These are not “alternative facts.” They are corrosive lies without any evidence. Even leaders in the President’s own party agree there is no evidence to support his claims since they were irresponsibly made back in November.
Rather than continue to deliberately deceive the American people about his nearly 3 million popular vote loss, the President should focus on addressing the substantiated threats reported by our intelligence community.

Stormy weather
A series of strong storm systems swept through Los Angeles County between Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2017 and Monday, Jan. 23, 2017, bringing record amounts of rain throughout the area.
With about two months of the winter season remaining, it is important residents become familiar with a process the Office of Emergency Management conducts to report property damages caused by the recent storms. Los Angeles County would like residents to take action by reporting how much damage was sustained at their homes by completing a survey.
To complete a damage assessment survey, go to 211LA.org and click on the banner for Damage Assessment Survey. Residents can also call 2-1-1 to complete a damage assessment survey and get information and referrals for assistance. At this website there is also up-to-date weather outlooks, road closures and information on emergency-preparedness actions.
Los Angeles County residents, renters and business owners, including persons with disabilities and others with access and functional needs, may call 2-1-1 for emergency-preparedness information and other referral services.The toll-free 2-1-1 number is available 24 hours a day and seven days a week. 2-1-1 LA County services can also be accessed by visiting 211la.org.
