What will $2 million dollars get you in East Palo Alto?

Is it HER money? The article is weird. It's like she's an owl, and swooped down and snagged a bag of money from a Brinks driver, and flew away and now she's giving it to EPA.

Newly elected, doesn't serve on any meaningful committees but she's old school, and family history connected in the Assembly-- but who isn't? It seems she has come a-courtin with a bag of money. I hope she stops in Palo Alto, so she can see what $2 milllion will buy you here -- not much!

Seems like a big PR event for this Assembly member. What's her name again? Weird indeed.

Predictable, MyFeelz. You're as regular as clockwork to rain on any parade

Metaphorically, I prefer peeing on somebody's wheaties. You're the one who keeps stalking me. You like me, I know you really like me. I wonder where the ad hominem police are every time you use me for your punching bag? ps Papan is new, her dad was an Assembly big shot, and she is following in his footsteps. i wasn't raining on anything, other than making an observation.
