Villaraigosa vs. Hahn -- Is the difference solely in the packaging?
Jeffery Anderson at LA WEEKLY has exposed some frighteningly obvious problems with City Hall in his article, "The Hidden Empire: What DWP’s massive raise says about L.A.’s leadership."
In essense, a couple of nameplates have changed at City Hall, but the spots, the players, the motives, and the outcomes remain disgustingly the same.
How does Mayor Villaraigosa and company intend to reach fairness, honesty, and transparency in Los Angeles city governance with patronage and spoils being the first and it seems only order of the day? Might as well switch from Marlboro to Winston to quit smoking or from coke to crack to get off drugs. Funny how Villaraigosa and Cardenas defer to the City Attorney's Office for rulings. Isn't that like consulting a mirror? How about asking a rate payor?
How much longer are we going to placate these scoundrels?
