Pasadena Parole Office Flap Has ‘Bitter Irony’
The objection by city fathers to locating a parole office in east Pasadena has a bitter irony to it (Times, June 1).
Not long ago, the same Board of Directors steamrollered through a facility on South Raymond in the commercial west side that would feed 150 people, but has space for only 40 of them to sleep. Where will the other 100-plus sleep between dinner and breakfast?
Those who live on the west side of town predicted that this would cause problems, and officials from the Police Department testified that crime would increase. Sound familiar?
It is only fitting that the board and the people it represents may be getting a taste of their own medicine.
