What do you think about LA politics?
So many articles about corruption and mismanagement... They can't be all wrong. Does it seem strange that it is all about investigations, committees, and appointments and never about holding city managers and officials accountable?
There seems to be one set of priorities for citizens and businesses -- clammering for education, jobs, hospitals, less traffic conjestion, city costs too high, and pot holes too deep.
And a completely different set of priorities from the Mayor and City Council: Build a new harbor! Get more police officers! Build a new airport! Rebuild a new river! Let's put my guy on the Board, and, uh, my guy can replace my former guy, and, uh, my guy can run DWP...
Well, we are not all longshoremen, policemen, pilots, builders, or friends with connections. How are these things going to provide education for our kids, jobs for our citizens, access to hospitals, trauma centers, and transportation?
In their defense, City Council did give Hahn a little static over the additional tax for more police. By golly, it must be election time!
This coming city election, are you seriously considering a total turnover? Walter Moore might be in the right place at the right time. What do you think?

Doesn't ANYONE remember the whole new charter bought and paid for by Riordan??? The cornerstone of that charter was "hold me (mayor) accountable" instead of the City Council. So now WHO is holding the mayor accountable for failures in governance, lack of honesty and integrity, and downright lying to the public???? Voters: NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO HOLD THE MAYOR ACCOUNTABLE.
