This Tuesday, June 2nd, voters in Los Angeles County's third district
(Most of the San Fernando Valley, West Hollywood & the Westside) have
the opportunity to send a message and vote for SHANE McLOUD as our next
supervisor.  The incumbent, Zev Yarovslasky, has served for 23 years and
has become part of the furniture around the halls of power here in this
fair city.  SHANE McLOUD has a definite plan to make Los Angeles County
government more effective by:

	REFORMING THE MTA and providing transit for all residents
	based on what's needed and what actually works, rather than
	what appeals to the special interests.  Zev Yarovslasky killed
	what every expert says would have been the most logical rail
	line for Los Angeles (Exposition), because he bowed to NIMBY 
	(not-in-my-backyard), special interest pressure.  Years later, 
	Zev has said he was wrong, we should have built that line. (Los
	Angeles Times, May 24, 1998)

	CHANGING THE WAY LA COUNTY SPENDS MONEY to be more in line
	with the private sector, allowing county employees to receive
	fair compensation for their work, as well as a REWARD for
	jobs well done; and to eliminate wasteful spending and 
	poltical patronage by handing out county contracts based on
	who will do the best job, not just who donated to local 
	politicians.  Zev Yarovslasky has stonewalled competitive 
	bidding and other new & innovative ways of government contracting
	that could get projects done quickly and at a fraction of the
	cost (Remember how quickly the Santa Monica Freeway was rebuilt after
	the Northridge Earthquake?  That was because politicians decided
	to do it the way business does it, offering incentives for good
	work and busted the bureucracty.  Why can't this be standard 
	operating procedure?)

	REFORM CAMPAIGN LAWS to ban political lobbyists from contributing,
	limiting contribution amounts and ending shell games such as 
	a contributor funnelling additional contributions through their
	spouses, children, employees, pets, etc.  (Which by the way
	Zev says he supports, but seems to only want to change the rules
	when its either after he's run for office, or if someone is not
	challenging him.)

SHANE McLOUD is a local schoolteacher who grew up in the district,
worked for two previous County Supervisors as well as interning at
Caltrans and the MTA.  SHANE McLOUD is part of a new generation of
leadership that is ready to apply the elbow grease to take Los Angeles
into the 21st Century as well as bring back the luster the LA we grew up
in had.  

Please support SHANE McLOUD, time is about to run out.  Zev Yarovslasky
has over a million dollars to Shane's only a few thousand dollars to
spend.  Tell your friends, neighbors, send e-mail, whatever it takes. 
Its time for Zev to go, and this time there is a clear choice.
