A warning for those running for office.
1. Don't pander to unions; ie, IBEW/DWP. Folks look at their…Read More DWP bill and think, hmmmm is this bill going to be higher 2. Keep outside folks like Clinton and Boxer out of local elections. It's suppose to be a nonpolitical office (even though we know it isn't) but what it does do is piss off those that might consider voting for one over the other. 3. Don't pander to women. Guys vote also so all the talk about the first woman mayor may be okay, but don't make it a big platform item. There you have it all free of charge.
Yea! Let the gentrification of Los Angeles began. Garcetti has already been responsable for over…Read More 13,000 Latinos being pushed out of their neighborhoods and counting; yet, he goes around pretending to be a Latino. I guess I better get ready to pack my bags because little old working class me don't deserve to live here and its a matter of time before a developer push me out.
All I want is a Mayor who will not march in a parade of illegals. There was nothing more insulting…Read More than hearing that your Mayor is celebrating the cause of one of our biggest financial problems...supporting the illegals. The DWP thing bothered me also. They are out of control, so that negative advertising did bother me about her alliance with them. But I really did want Wendy Gruel to win, but didn't really care all that much, as long as they were not hispanic, because we saw what happened with Villairagosa.
“Leave a brother alone…” I’m still laughing at that line. Something about…Read More the sequence of the banter between these characters is so believable. Unique. It just cracks me up. Very original E.M.F. Weldon is gonna wish Pikey can "leave a brother alone"….Yesiree. BTW, I’m so glad Morty didn’t “cack”. S & M just wouldn’t be the same without him. More please...
I wish the media had countered Garcetti's claims with an examination of the facts and had exposed…Read More his relationship with BIG development. Only the LA Weekly covered these stories--keep reading it and keep posting.
great article Mary! Ms. Korney, she sometimes scared me to death! But always around christmas I…Read More think of her and pronounce my letters clearly at the end of a word when I sing. I can still remember the song I had to sing for my final, "If ever I would leave you..." She taught me a lot.
I agree with everything you said about Mr. Reeves. I had Mr. Pesin for Algebra, he did nothing to help further my math skills. The biggest flirt around, ick. We had a girl in school at the time that flirted her way to an A and hardly ever went to class. Go figure!!
I also thought quite highly of Ms. Requiam. Glad she's still around.
I also notice Wendy Gruel has no platform, except taking money from special interest (most notably…Read More her puppet masters at the DWP) and having one of the most negative campaigns I've ever seen......no thanks, negative Wendy, fool me once.....Eric is our next Mayor....
She has received a lot of flak about making a premature decision...I hope someone from Ovarian…Read More Cancer or the community weighs in on this and gives their thoughts in a blog! Thanks...just click the START BLOGGING button below! THANKS!
