If the refuge is approved and land is placed in the refuge, then the reservoir cannot be built unless Congress passes a bill removing the land from the refuge system. This is because the state or local agencies involved can't condemn federal land.

I've had Officers Giordano and C.B. Anderson come down and help out with the kids. The last thing I would ever want is a kid to grow up despising the police and other agencies of the government. Sometimes, though, with the households these kids come from - either drug-use or crime related - it's inevitable.

I've had a very interesting career with the Port of Los Angeles. Our security forces have never been better, our relationships with other law enforcement agencies never healthier, and we are growing a stronger team every day.

Its really spawned a different kind of conversation and a different level of participation with our advertising partners. Thats all really very encouraging.
