Long Beach Board Rejects Prop 9 as Educators Decry Tax Plan
The Long Beach Board of Education unanimously adopted a Vote No on Prop 9 resolution arguing the Watson property tax initiative would harm education by cutting $42 million of the district's $65 million annual revenue. James Moore of the Teachers Association of Long Beach backed the stance, calling Prop 9 a hoax that would raise state taxes and erode local school control while crippling bond issuance and employee benefits.

Lumber Carrier Driver Awes Kids On Waterfront
Edward Nunez now 26 drives lumber carriers in the harbor area shedding a child's awe as he climbs 13 feet high in the cab. He recalls the old days when big yellow trucks carried 20 ton loads and notes the cedar scent and fresh lumber aroma. The port supports about 300 workers and last year imports to Los Angeles Harbor and Long Beach Harbor would supply enough material for 65 000 homes. Nunez says driving near ground level makes him feel like he is in a quiet car, imagining a 1968 Cadillac at the end of the day.
