  8. A decade of trying to raise L.A.'s sales tax

    The half-cent sales tax increase proposal on the March 5 ballot known as Proposition A has been around for a long time in many guises, sometimes as a county tax, sometimes a city tax. Threats and reasons offered by Los Angeles city officials have included, in essence, pass it or <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2005/feb/10/local/me-coptax10">risk another riot</a>; pass it or <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2002/nov/08/local/me-baca8">risk a terrorist attack</a>; pass it to <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2004/oct/19/local/me-measurea19">fight a (nonexistent) surge in crime</a>; pass it to <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2004/dec/17/local/me-gangs17">fund a new gang-prevention department</a>. The only time it actually came before voters, they rejected it. In other instances, county and city officials refused to put it on the ballot in the first place.

  9. Dorner manhunt: In defense of the LAPD

    For an organization traumatized by the shootings of a few of their own and officers in other jurisdictions, the Los Angeles Police Department isn't getting much sympathy from Times letter writers in response to the search for ex-cop Christopher Jordan Dorner. On Tuesday's letters page, <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/letters/la-le-0212-tuesday-lapd-shooting-20130212,0,2671918.story">four readers</a> aim their criticism at the LAPD for the <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-torrance-shooting-20130209,0,4414028.story">shooting in Torrance</a> last week of two women delivering copies of The Times, whose truck police believed to have been Dorner's, and for the department's seeming double-standard for <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-dorner-reward-20130211,0,5945373.story">mobilizing so heavily</a> when its own officers are under threat but not to combat the regular gun violence in many L.A. neighborhoods.

  11. Dorner's LAPD is on the way out

    There won't be a happy ending to Christopher Dorner's quest for vengeance against the Los Angeles Police Department. Nothing justifies his murder of innocents or his threats against LAPD personnel and their families. The only positive thing that can possibly be said at the moment is that today's LAPD is in the hands of new leaders who are slowly but surely ending the old subculture that Dorner describes in his <a href="http://documents.latimes.com/christopher-dorner-manifesto/">online manifesto</a>.
