Maywood Is Offically National News -- But No One Has the Real Story

This Fishie has been in Mexico for the past few days, so he completely missed the New York Times’ story this weekend on the tiny city of Maywood, which recently had to sack its entire police department to avoid bankruptcy. Have to say, though it’s nice to see Maywood finally getting attention, the Times’ piece didn’t have much of a clue what was really going on in Maywood. The piece ends with a quote comparing Maywood to the Soviet Union from Hector Alvarado, who the Times’ says heads a “civic advocacy group” in town.
