Last Thursday, an amendment by Supervisors Antonovich and Ridley-Thomas was unanimously approved by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s Board of Directors adding highway construction and improvements, and regional transportation solutions to the 30/10 plan. According to the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation, Measure R highway projects will generate 341,500 jobs, $46.3 billion in economic output and $15.1 billion in earnings.

Just who do you think will get those 341,500 jobs? Have you ever looked at who is doing all the street repair and upgrades using the stimulus funds? I have and so far I have seen maybe a couple of white and NOT ONE black person. You can say by that, they were 100% hispanic. At that rate I say forget the jobs. I know it is supposed to be a great thing to get money to do things but WHO IS BENEFITING FROM THE STIMULUS AND THE EMPLOYMENT?
