Villaraigosa's Pre-emptive success poster Remixed...

Janet of Echo Park strikes again...she writes:

There's a poster at bus stations all around [Los Angeles] and attached to the fence across from the LA Times building entrance, applauding Mayor Villaraigosa for eliminating coal energy by 2020.  So, 11 years of pre-emptive success?

Well, there's a better idea for the poster...

Video: Aurora Ponce receives scholarship & speaks

NBC Ch4 August 11, 2009 - CutsHurtKids.org Presents Aurora Ponce her Scholarship

glad Channel 4 was there, but some corrections: 

CutsHurtKids.org (not UTLA) is who presented the over-sized check of $1683.34 from it's successful Twitter-based scholarship fundraiser. UTLA later provided its own scholarship of $1000. 

Also, due to community outrage, Aurora was in fact able to give her Valedictorian speech at her graduation from Annenberg High School (The Accelerated School).
