Tomorrow night from 9-11pm I'll be filling in for Kevin James @ 870 KRLA.
Don't ask why. I'd have to kill you.

Cell phone rip off!
Such a deal #2
Did you know that the City of Los Angeles taxes your monthly cell phone bill at a rate of 10%? This is in addition to a Federal tax, a California Public Utilities tax, and 6 other State taxes, but the city still beats them all with a 10% chunk.
Oddly enough this "little" tax very well may be ruled unconsitutional by the State courts because we, the tax payers, never voted for it the first place. When this happens the City of L.A. will lose 270 million dollars of phone tax revenue.
Lucky for us the evil geniuses downtown are proposing a ballot measure asking us to vote for a reduction of the phone tax from 10% to 9%.
Who wouldn't vote for that?
Unfortunately by approving a one percent "reduction" we'll actually be voting for a 9 percent tax when we would have had NO TAX AT ALL!
