(1) No. The commission hasn’t denied this kind of promotion before. Let the police promote who they choose. (36 votes, 27%)
(2) Yes. The commission shouldn’t appoint someone who might be prosecuted for police misconduct, even if it means they don’t have all positions filled. (98 votes, 73%)
Current poll: A federal judge refused to dismiss a lawsuit accusing Burbank-based Walt Disney Co. of polluting the surrounding area with chromium 6. Do you think the lawsuit is valid?
No. Disney officials have denied the charges levied in the lawsuits, citing a soil investigation that found chromium levels well within California and EPA regulations.
Yes. I side with the plaintiffs who allege that for decades Disney pumped groundwater for its air-cooling system and added chemicals.

Area lawmakers and Jet Propulsion Laboratory officials turned out Monday morning to cut the ribbon on the new Flight Projects Center at the La Cañada Flintridge facility.
NASA is touting it as its "greenest" building to date, having received the LEED Gold Certification under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design rating system. To qualify, buildings have to make "efficient use of water, energy and resources, and provide a healthy and comfortable indoor workspace," according to a NASA/JPL press statement.
Among the dignitaries seen at the ribbon cutting were La Cañada Flintridge Mayor Laura Olhasso, Councilman Dave Spence and La Cañada Flintridge Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Pat Anderson. Also attending the ceremony were U.S. Reps David Dreier and Adam Schiff.

With at least three matches left in the regular season and a likely playoff contest, Kaplanyan, an All-CIF and All-Area pick as a freshman last year, is a safe bet to earn himself a spot in the top 10 for all-time, single-season goal scorers in the CIF Southern Section — and he might even have a chance at eclipsing the top spot.
Arcadia’s Scott Langendoen is No. 10 on the list with 196 in 2002. The top spot is held by Alexander Hernandez of Bell Gardens in 2005, when he tallied 226 goals. All of the stats are provided by www.cifss.org. A full list of the top 10 appears below.

(1) No. After the crash, 150 complaints were filed, including wrongful death lawsuits. Metrolink did much more damage to people’s lives. (17 votes, 24%)
(2) Yes. Most of the cases filed did not involve critical injuries – let’s not drag out this litigation any further. (55, votes 76%)
Current poll: Residents and mobile carriers will get their first chance to weigh in on a draft ordinance meant to regulate the placement of cellular antennas. Should Glendale be able to deny permits for antennas because they aren’t keeping with the city’s aesthetics?
Yes. The city should require carriers to not only prove why they need to place their antennas at desired locations, and face denial if their proposals are deemed unsightly.
No. This gives the city too much control over cellular antennas – we don’t do this for similar services, why single out mobile phone carriers?
