Save Our Community was founded in the movement to resist Wal-Mart's development in Rosemead, California. Now, it has become a general site for news, information, gossip, talk, and blogging about Rosemead. We also have stories about South San Gabriel, San Gabriel, Montebello, and occasionally about Pico Rivera, El Monte, South El Monte, Alhambra, Temple City, and other nearby communities. Your host is Todd. If you want a blog just sign up, get approved, and start writing. Good posts will be moved onto the home page.
The NY Times had a story
The NY Times had a story about sobriety checkpoints. It appears that they are being used to impound cars owned by illegal immigrants.
It's not that they don't like the immigrants, but, the fines collected, and any cash from selling the cars, appears to go into the municipal fund. The funding for checkpoints is from the state budget. So the immigrants are being exploited as a way to transfer money into the local coffers.
