At its core, we support Measure W because of its impact on empowering African-Americans and other communities of color in Los Angeles County – making business pay their fair share for the clean water that Black and brown residents are most likely, otherwise, to be deprived of. Measure W is a progressive tax that spreads the compliance burden equally with no groups paying more than their fair share.
The regional water board is suing the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers over dredge and fill operations along the Los Angeles River in Glendale and the Sepulveda Basin that allegedly violated the Clean Water Act, officials announced today. The lawsuit, lodged February 17 in Los Angeles federal court by the Regional Water Quality Control Board, alleges the corps neglected to obtain required water quality certifications in advance of two projects in 2011 and 2012 in the river and its tributaries in Glendale and the Sepulveda Basin. A corps spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Charles Stringer,
