Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown Introduced Her First Bill to Assist Small Businesses

Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown Introduced Her First Bill to Assist Small Businesses

SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown (D-San Bernardino) introduced her first bill of the legislative session yesterday, AB 285, which will expand the definition of a microenterprise.  This bill is necessary to enhance the technical services available to small businesses in California.

 

Microenterprises are business that are started for less than $35,000 and lack access to traditional loans and capital. California has three million microenterprises that employ over four million people. AB 285 will provide microenterprises with increased resources to help them grow.

 

“I’m pleased to introduce my first bill, AB 285, a bill to support small business growth and job creation in our state.  AB 285 will improve the quality of life for residents in the 47th District by promoting small business growth, which will translate to job creation within some of our district’s highest unemployment areas,” said Assemblymember Brown, “Small businesses are so important because they provide a majority of jobs and it is vital for our economy that we continue to push policies that assist in their growth. Passing this legislation will be my top priority.”

 

Under current law, a microenterprise is classified as a business with four or fewer employees including the business owner. AB 285 will allow for a firm to employ five employees including the business owner. Additionally, this bill will allow local workforce investment boards to provide entrepreneurial training programs and specialized assistance to microenterprises.

 

The bill was introduced yesterday and has been moved to the Assembly Rules Committee for assignment to the appropriate policy committee.

Its so exciting how could it get any better?

How about a simple breakdown of each truck to get those taste buds watering!!!!!!

First truck is the “ZZ Truck” created by SIZZLER AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

Below is an article from the Fast Food Mayven that breaks down this truck quite well. We have also included their social media links so you can let them know how excited you are that they are coming to RIALTO!!!!!

Sizzler is launching a food truck later this fall, but don’t expect Southern California’s latest restaurant-on-wheels to be an exact duplicate of its namesake chain.

For now, the Sizzler truck is being called “ZZ Truck” and will boast a menu of sliders, fries and ice cream sandwiches.

“ZZ Truck is Sizzler’s response to the local demands of quality unique gourmet cuisine available fast and simple,” the company said in a statement.

Starting later this month, Sizzler will host a naming contest for the new truck on Twitter and Facebook.

Fans can choose from the following names:

  • K.O.W. (Kitchen On Wheels)
  • The Steak Lab
  • Red, White, & Moo
  • Cruizzin’ Carnivore
  • Steak On It!

With the use of iPads to take orders, the truck promises fast delivery of its basic menu. Prices range from $1 to $10 for sliders, sides, toppings and desserts. The three sliders on the menu are Tri-Tip, Pulled Pork and French Dip.

The naming contest begins Oct. 10. Voting runs until Oct. 31, and all voters will be entered into a contest to win an iPod Touch.  For now, it is unclear where the Sizzler truck will roam when it launches in November. Stay tuned for more information.

Tell us: Do you think it is a smart idea for Sizzler to not use its recognizable brand on its new food truck?

Hale’iwa Shave Ice

Absolutely incredible! My taste buds were registering amazing flavors that were off the chart! I’ve never had Hawaiian style shaved ice and WOW nothing else will ever compare.

Their little trailer is pretty snazzy. Everyone needs to embrace technology and reap the benefits. iPads, flat screen TV’s, Bose sound system, custom video slideshows just shows you that they mean business.

…and then they back everything up with a killer product!

I made a mess in my pants after one taste. Happy endings for all! 🙂

Graffiti Removal, How important is it to you?

When I first moved back to Rialto I noticed how much graffiti was all over the place it was like little LA.

We rented for one year then made the decision to purchase our first home in Rialto, the graffiti was out of control.

We banded together with Lt Burkholder, Lt Crispin & Cpl Muir to get the graffiti under control. I personally held GPC the graffiti removal contractor to a hard-line of removing the graffiti ASAP. I helped GPC & the city of Rialto over obstacles such as private property right of ways and businesses that were no longer cleaning graffiti on their back walls because of retaliation against their maintenance employees. Councilman Ed Palmer and I developed a way to get property owners and leasing companies to keep their leasing signs free of graffiti.

And things were looking better……………………….. Until Now!!!!!

The city has decided to change contractors beginning last month May 2012 to save $3 a stop. Now everyone has heard the saying you get what you pay for, and we are getting just that cheaper service that has more excuses than results.

Larry De Corona the Owner of Superior Property Mainence ( http://www.4superior.com/ ) came out to the Area 1 Command Meeting stating that nothing will change but better faster services at a lower price. He tried to tell us his company can’t take care of our drainage Areas or Washes ( which is wrong ) and that they were brining in a new camera program, knowledgeable staff ect. None of his statements have shown to be true.

So I wonder why I have been calling and seeing graffiti up for days and days, poor painting, tags still showing through ect. Then I remembered something Mr. De Corona said at the meeting they are the largest graffiti removal program in LA County. Ah ha this is why who hasn’t driven around LA County and been blinded by graffiti.

Larry Decrona Owner & Managing partner in aquisition and Property Managment

Larry De Corona (pictured above) called me yesterday very upset that I am asking his company to remove the graffiti in a timely fashion. He said that they are working within the confines of the contract and that I couldn’t use his statements at the Area Command Meeting as gold. He told me that in April GPC billed the city $8K for the month of April, Superior billed the city $6K for May. This isn’t because they are so much cheaper it’s because they are slower to respond and GPC work some Saturdays in April Superior doesnt.

Mr. De Corona said something that speaks to where he is coming from a property management back ground that showed his lack of knowledge of this city or the War we wage her on Hoodlums. He said “Whats the difference if the graffiti stays up a few more days if it saves the city money”. Really did you just say that. Graffiti is a hoodlums way of saying he owns your neighborhood, street or city, and everyday it’s up there is another day to influence our teens, intimidate our communities and enrage community members.

I spoke with Tim Sullivan from public works and he told me that Superior is new and he is keeping close account of the complaints and looking at Superior’s response times and quality of work. We want to keep this from becoming a problem.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rid-Rialto-of-Graffitti/216882198324244 – We have a Facebook Page you can visit and post your problem areas with graffiti or just email them to rialtonw@aol.com and we will post for you.

Ferguson Park the Multi Million Dollar park that wont be stripped until the July Grand Opening was hit hard and it took Superior 3 days to remove this graffiti, so people’s questions on safety at our parks is still an issue and thanks to Superior the community is wondering if the new park is even worth visiting.

I have called the graffiti hotline numerous times to find MAJOR, MASSIVE tags up for days and even weeks.

The graffiti Hotline number is 909-820-2670 put this in your cell phone and call on every tag.

If you have questions, complaints or concerns please call 909-820-2602 and ask for Tim Sullivan.

Rialto’s Annual Car Show

Every June Rialto gets to show off our local cars, interest has been dropping a little bit but it’s still a cool little show.

I miss the days where it was a 2 day event which consisted of show and shine with burn out contest at the airport Friday night. Then Saturday it’s the full show with vendors and open header contests.

The show used to fill up Riverside Ave from Foothill to the very bottom of down town, now it just barely fills in the down town borders.

Even in its current shape it’s still a great show I have many fond memories at the show and once I get a job I don’t have to work weekends I will be able to share it again with my daughter.

Below are the details:

Run Whatcha Brung Car Show XIX – Saturday, June 9, 2012 Downtown Rialto, California

The City of Fontana, in partnership with Water of Life Community Church, offers Fontana residents no-cost or low-cost community services through the Community Assistance Program (CAP).
CAP provides area residents with the ability to readily access resources and community services; which enrich the lives of families and individuals, enabling them to lead more productive lives.
Fontana’s CAP program brings together community assistance organizations, local churches and schools to  create a network designed to solve problems and assist people in need.
Visitors to our website can obtain information on resources available through the CAP Resource Directory. The directory can be used to look up a specific need or the entire directory can be downloaded and printed. Visitors can also access the Calendar Page to view all upcoming events.
In addition to offering referral services to people in need, the Community Assistance Program is also proven to be extremely effective in helping existing organizations network and share resources. Each month CAP hosts a networking meeting of area service providers. Monthly CAP meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday of each month from 9:00-11:00 a.m. at Water of Life Community Church, 7623 East Avenue in the city of Fontana. During each meeting, service providers share resources and ideas with the ultimate goal of providing assistance to citizens in need. It’s a great way for non-profits, schools, churches, and government personnel to get acquainted and network.
