Belated Congratulations to Bill Rosendahl
In the flurry of activity that occurred with the election of Antonio Villaraigosa for Mayor -- we forgot to congratulate Bill Rosendahl.
Congratulations Councilmember-elect Rosendahl -- our polling intelligence was correct in your victory.
Chief Parker apologizes for the oversight of not congratulating you -- you were my choice for Councilmember- please let me explain.
This old republican, well i don't live your lifestyle -- i do respect the fact that for year after year you had conservative republicans on your show whom you did not agree with -- but you sat there and let them have an honest open debate about our city, state and country.
You are the definition of a patriot - you truly love this country -- and because of that passion for civic life - i knew you would be an open honest agent of change.
Congratulations again -- the westside, LAX and the coastal areas thank you. They expect strong leadership, and we know you won't deny them.

It would have been nice if all those Westsiders had listened to the old chief - that Rosendahl was going to win big and had spent some of their time with Antonio.
Hey Cheif:
You are wrong about Rosendahl tolerating conservatives. His programs were nothing but self serving, pandering to the elected elite of the City. He relished on the City Government Channel #35 as Council members stood up one by one and acknowledged his lobbyist contributions to their campaigns and for providing them so many opportunities for free air time on his show. This took place on the occasion of the 15 year anniversary of his public affairs program on Adelphia, where he served as Vice President. Cable consumers were not that thrilled to learn he was lining the campaign coffers of the regulators.
Chief, you must not know too many conservatives if you think they were treated well. But you are right about one thing, he took care of the power elite.
The real story of Rosendahl's big win was a kick-ass field operation that dramatically increased the number of voters coming out of his base neighborhoods, particularly Mar Vista. While Brentwood (the only neighborhood Krisiloff won) increased its vote by only about 400 from the primary to the general, Mar Vista nearly doubled its vote (from 4,800 to over 8,000).
CM Mike Bonin deserves immense credit for running one of the most successful turn-out operations in local history.
Bonin was all right, but when I stopped in to volunteer the weekend before election day and the operation left a lot to be desired. Bonin's just doing this so he can run in 8 years.
I don't know Bonin's motive - I've never met the guy. But what's wrong with him wanting to run for Council in 8 years.
Rosendahl is far from a replacement for Cindy. He doesn't have a clue and the fact that he aligned himself with Antonio with that stupid PTA boat with the photo of Kennedy mailer was laughable, The council voted 12-3 to approve Hahn's LAX plan. The unions want it. Its going to be interesting to see how all this plays out.
Mike Bonin, Aaron Gross and other Galanter staffers deserve pats on the back and will serve Bill well. A lot of us hope that he doesn't bring on any Miscikowski flunkies, especially that yenta with the bulging eyes.
HA! I know who you're talking about. She was an idiot when I knew in CD3 days.
