AN INADVERTENT AND 
INCONVENIENT TRUTH

STUART TOLCHIN

 
The White 
House Press Secretary 
has uttered a very 
inadvertent truth. At a 
briefing she explained 
to reporters that the 
President was the most 
informed person on 
Planet Earth about 
threats to the United 
States. Consider this 
statement in connection 
with the President’s assertion that he was 
completely unaware of intelligence reports 
linking his “friend” Vladimir Putin’s payment to 
Taliban fighters as bounties to kill U.S. troops. 
White House insiders have repeated said that 
the President has no earthly idea what’s going 
on. He rarely, if ever, reads the briefings and 
is generally totally in the dark and without 
question is the greatest threat to American 
National Security. This is the great threat to 
American interests and the President is in the 
position to know best. 

 As I thought about the press 
secretary’s utterance the term “inadvertent 
truth” brought to mind the Oscar Winning 
Documentary “Inconvenient Truth” featuring 
former Presidential Candidate Al Gore in which 
he explains how humans have messed up the 
planet. If you recall, the 2000 election between 
Gore and George W. Bush was effectively 
decided not by a thorough accounting of 
votes (Gore won the popular vote) but by a 
highly questionable Supreme Court 5-4 vote 
and presto Bush became President. We good 
Americans sat idly by as we learned that a 
military campaign against Middle Eastern 
terrorists based on completely false assertions 
that the Iraqis possessed was begun. Millions 
of lives were lost, economic instability ensued, 
and millions were forced to emigrate to new 
countries. The forced resettling is the reason 
for many of the immigration problems that 
face the world today. None of this would have 
occurred if Gore had been allowed to serve as 
President.

 My whole point here is that Americans 
should have been in the street demanding 
a reconsideration of the Bush election or 
appointment based on the decision of one 
Supreme Court Justice. We should have been 
in the street as soon as we learned that there 
was, in fact, no factual justification for our 
invasion of Iraq which helped to create ISIS. 
More recently we should have been in the street 
demanding Trump’s resignation three years 
ago. Instead we were all satisfied to follow 
accepted procedures by appointing a staunch 
Republican as Special Prosecutor who would be 
sure to find the truth and make it known and 
protect our interests. Next we relied on our 78 
year old establishment oriented Speaker of the 
House to properly navigate the impeachment 
and removal of the President. Nothing against 
Nancy, but they both failed, and Trump is still 
there doing harm to American interest every 
day. This is the INCONVENIENT TRUTH for 
which all Americans must be held responsible. 
The video- taped execution of George Floyd 
brought many of us into the streets demanding 
change and justice. We need this same energy 
to be continually present as a safeguard against 
the illegal and duplicitous behavior of American 
office-holders. This may be inconvenient but it 
is the truth. 


City of Sierra Madre

PUBLIC HEARING SUMMARY NOTICE

From: The City of Sierra Madre

Subject: AFFORDABLE HOUSING ORDINANCE 1428 

Applicant: City of Sierra Madre

Project Location: Properties in the City of Sierra Madre, County of Los Angeles, 

 State of California

The City of Sierra Madre gives notice, pursuant to State of California law, that the City Council will 
conduct a public hearing to consider Ordinance 1428 adopting Municipal Code Text Amendment 20-02 
amending Chapter 17.34 (Affordable Housing), Title 17 (Zoning) of the Sierra Madre Municipal Code. 
The amendment to the City’s affordable housing ordinance is to conform to recent changes to State Density 
Bonus Law.

The state regulations mandating the granting of a density bonus for eligible projects are found in Government 
Code Section 65915 et seq. The latest amendments to this law are designed to make it easier for a 
developer to build affordable housing by attempting to streamline the process of reviewing a density bonus 
application, expanding the housing options that may take advantage of a density bonus (including adding 
a new housing category that includes units for “transitional foster youth,” disabled veterans, or homeless 
persons), and by lowering the standards to qualify for housing incentives and concessions. Additionally, the 
amended Chapter 17.34 proposes the following new provisions: (1) Section 17.34.060 regarding waivers 
or reductions of development standards and required findings; (2) Section 17.34.070 regarding parking 
ratios and required findings; (3) Section 17.34.090 regarding the density bonus calculation methodology 
for childcare facilities; (4) Section 17.34.100 regarding the density bonus calculation methodology for the 
donation of land; and (5) Section 17.34.110 regarding the density bonus calculation methodology for a 
condominium conversion.

DATE AND TIME OF HEARING

City of Sierra Madre City Council meeting; Tuesday, July 14, 2020 (Hearing begins at 6:30 p.m.) 

PLACE OF HEARING

This meeting will be conducted utilizing teleconference communications and will be recorded for live 
streaming. In accordance with the State of California Executive Order N-29-20 dated March 17, 2020, all 
City of Sierra Madre public meetings will be solely available via live streaming and made available on the 
City’s official website.

Password: 232242


ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The adoption of this amendment is exempt from the California 
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15301, Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations 
and is also exempt from review because it does not meet the definition of a project under CEQA Guidelines 
sections 15061, subdivision (b)(3), and section 15378, subdivision (a) and subdivision (b)(5). The proposed 
changes to Chapter 17.34, as authorized and required by state law, have no potential for resulting in physical 
changes to the environment because they consist of changes in the standards governing issuance of permits 
for density bonus projects and do not directly or indirectly approve any applications for particular projects. 
Any particular proposed project will be required to undergo the City’s entitlement process and appropriate 
review under CEQA.

APPEAL: If in the future anyone wishes to challenge the decision of the City Council in court, one may 
be limited to raising the issues that were raised or presented in written correspondence delivered to the City 
Council at, or before, the scheduled public hearing. For further information on this subject, please contact 
the Planning and Community Preservation Department at (626) 355-7138.

CASE NO. 20STPB04439

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by JEAN M.

LOS ANGELES.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that JEAN M. 
PFAFFINGER be appointed as personal representative to administer 
the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate 
under the Independent Administration of Estates Act . (This 
authority will allow the personal representative to take many 
actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain 
very important actions, however, the personal representative 
will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they 
have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The 
independent administration authority will be granted unless 
an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows 
good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 
10/30/20 at 8:30AM in Dept. 9 located at 111 N. HILL ST., LOS 
ANGELES, CA 90012

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should 
appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written 
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance 
may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, 
you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy 
to the personal representative appointed by the court within the 
later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of 
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 
58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from 
the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under 
section 9052 of the California Probate Code. 

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your 
rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney 
knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a 
person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request 
for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory 
and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account 
as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special 
Notice form is available from the court clerk.
