On the Hahn-Richardson Toss-up in the 44th Congressional District

I don't know whether the residents of Compton should cry or break away from the state of California. They have revamped the police force. The city has welcomed new businesses. Parents are actively demanding a better education for their kids, even resorting to the 2010 state trigger law.
Now the voters have to choose between worse and, well . . . worse, for their next Congressional election.

Between a bankrupt and ethically challenged state-legislator cum Congressman who has done very little for her constituents, and a sitting city councilwoman who has made seeking higher office her highest calling, I do not think the voters from San Pedro to South Gate will be getting proper representation.

Laura Richardson (D - Carson) has hardly distinguished herself. She had a home in foreclosure, she faced allegations of misappropriating funds, and now she has recently moved to San Pedro . . in order to get reelected. Janice Hahn (D - San Pedro) finally won a Congressional seat, claiming that she wants to help her constituents get votes. . .er, jobs. As soon as she won the 2011 run-off for the Beach Cities election to replace Jane Harman, she set her eyes on San Pedro and a new swathe of voters. She is good at getting herself employed, but what has she done so far that demonstrates any knowledge of how economies and recovery work?

Cities from Bell to San Pedro are forcing their way through corruption, budget deficits, mismanagement, and chronic infighting. Do they really want to shoulder through one more election between two more state-centered bureaucrats who do nothing to help the voters, the state, or the looming deficits threatening this country?

I have a suggestion: every voter in South East Los Angeles County should write in their own candidates, even themselves if they want to. I am convinced that every hardworking and pay-check earning voter in the Los Angeles area would do a better job than than the Hahn-Richardson toss-up of making sure that Big Government no longer remains a big problem for voters, taxpayers, and youth who expect more and get less and less every election cycle for their vote.
