This is the city: Los Angeles, California. I work here. I'm an ex-mayor. Los Angeles is a magnet for people from all over the world. Some of them run for public office. Inevitably some of them stray from the golden rule and rule for those that have the gold. That's when I go to work. My name is Yorty. I'm a dead pol.

Leading by photo op
Re "City charges MTA with release of toxic substances" (Oct. 19):
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa promised new leadership and he's delivering - but not in a good way. The city is suing the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for dumping waste into city storm drains, and the mayor heads both; therefore he is suing himself. Perhaps this mayor, who failed the bar exam four times, believes the best way to win a lawsuit is to be both plaintiff and defendant.
For taxpayers, it means footing the legal bills for both sides of the litigation. Perhaps he could interrupt his busy photo op schedule long enough to spend a few hours actually running these two entities, rather than turning Los Angeles into a "lawsuit-ocracy."

LA Times endorses Huizar. Momentum builds.

Late momentum, half the absentees are already in.
Bad timing.

All 9 other candidates now aim at Huizar and LAUSD, and have LOTS of ammo there.

nobody cares about the Times, their readership took a dump. Plus, their credibility is not...they can't even keep an editor and the layoffs are heavy.
