In a close race

for Assembly,

D e m o c r a t s

Betsy Butler and

Richard Bloom

were the top two

vote-getters in

Tuesday’s prima-

ry election.

Based on semi-

final results from

the Los Angeles

R e g i s t r a r -

Recorder/County

Clerk, Butler and

Bloom received 12,519 and 12,417 votes

respectively.

Democrat Torie Osborn was the third-place

finisher, with 11,744 votes.

The only Republican in the race, Brad

Torgan, received the fewest votes, with 11,730votes.

“City, BHUSD file CEQA lawsuits

challenging Metro tunnel under Beverly

High” [Issue #661]

Metro wants to tunnel under Beverly Highin order to arrive at Avenue of the Stars and

Constellation Boulevard. Maybe a better

way to go is along Olympic Boulevard.

From Wilshire and La Cienega proceed

south to Olympic, then to Avenue of the

Stars and north to the desired location. This

avoids many potential earthquake zones and

tunneling under a very old structure with

unknown problems. This may be a bit more

expensive but maybe not in the long run. It

also avoids protracted lawsuits by Beverly

Hills.
