If you'd care to share some choice comments on this insanity, you can dial up
Mr. Sandoval directly (but surely not until after the holiday weekend; he IS a
government employee after all) at (323) 267-2670.  Of you can go to the
official public comment form found at:
http://isd.co.la.ca.us/scripts/isdmail.htm

Of course, please share your comments with the list first.
