Judges Puts Homeless Candidates on Ballot
March 14th, 2006On March 11, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge David Yaffee ordered the city of Vernon to put three candidates for City Council on the ballot. The city clerk had said they couldn’t run because they were registered at a converted commercial space, and they had been evicted from that address. The judge said that just because the city evicted them doesn’t mean they aren’t bona fide residents. “Maybe they’re living on the streets, or in their cars”, he said.

How California Treats Critics of CALVETS/CDVA:
The one and only legal avenue of appeal for misdeeds of adminstrators of the horribly, horribly run veterans homes (Napa County, Barstow, Chula Vista (between San Diego and TiJuania) ) is the California Veterans Board. This is not justice, this is political rubber stamp. The rate of over turned appeals? Pretty close to ZERO! Shame, shame, shame!
