		<description>&quot;I am truly glad this report came out about the unscrupulous practices that have been practice in this city for years, all for the sake of money. I have never had respitory problems in my life, now I do, and now I know why. I&#039;ve always had my suspicions, now they&#039;ve been confirmed.&quot;  GwendolynRhinehart&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ms. Rhinehart is correct.  The homeowners, residents, and taxpayers who never had respiratory problems need to file a class action personal injury law suit so that money becomes a disincentive factor.</description>

		<description>&quot;City Attorney’s Shannon and Mahood, and Mayor Foster admitted they were aware of this information but had not disclosed it to City Councilmembers who are responsible for making decisions on commission appointments. They claimed this clear conflict of interest was not relevant.&quot; Mike Ruehle&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mike, an actual or &quot;apparent&quot; conflict-of-interest is always relevant under the law according to the LA County District Attorney&#039;s Office.  This reminds me of the E-mails from Tom Marchese&#039;s CA records request published by both the District Weekly and the LB Report where Bob Foster apparently advised his staff to move the sweetheard wetlands land swap deal along quietly while he was on vacation without making Council aware of it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This also reminds me of an old Italian expression &quot;The fish stinks from the head to the tail&quot;.</description>

		<description>I suspect City Council will do exactly as they have done with every other Harbor related agenda item that impacts residents health and quality of life, that is ignore residents&#039; concerns.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In case you didn&#039;t notice, most of the Harbor Commission were on Gary DeLong&#039;s election advisory committee which included:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jim Hankla&lt;br&gt;Nick Sramek&lt;br&gt;Mike Walter&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://garydelong.com/advisorycmte.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://garydelong.com/advisorycmte.asp&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Dave wrote:&lt;br&gt;&quot;Walter was correct: the Port of Long Beach’s deference—and sacrifice of the public’s health and trust—to the power of the American Trucking Association is a done deal.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Again, again, again, wrong beach does the wrong thing. walters, when I see your name on buildings I&#039;ll spit on the ground, knowing your lack of diligence contributed to the sickness and death of our citizens. It didn&#039;t have to wind up this way; ALL the other ports want nothing to do with your unsustainable plan, rightfully selecting Los Angeles&#039;s plan.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This disgusting action shows we need to elect Harbor Commissioners.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thank you again Commissioner Cordero. Do you hold your nose during meetings with these sleazebags?</description>

		<description>How amazing that a good-hearted person like Walters can be so manipulated and ill-informed. Thanks Mike, we&#039;ll pay the price for your (and the rest of the sell-outs, especially the demon hankla) ignorant sell out for years to come.&lt;br&gt;All you had to do was go along with the real city next door.</description>

		<description>During tonight’s Belmont Shore Residents Association meeting, Councilman DeLong listed the Port of Long Beach pollution reductions as one of his many accomplishments this year in Long Beach.  At one point he said “I couldn’t be happier.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What he failed to mention was Port pollution is down because the amount of goods passing through the Port has dropped dramatically.</description>
