Gov. proposes selling L.A. Coliseum, other properties to raise cash

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

We'll never, ever be able to replace these properties, and even 1 billion isn't enough right now to make a real difference. We won't see the benefits for years, and we'll be feeling the effects of the loss of these properties forever!!
