Mayor Sam's Hotsheet for Friday

We reported yesterday about Stefan Erikkson who wrapped his $1 million Ferrari Enzo around a telephone pole this week. The LA Times reports its not the only thing that Erikkson has crashed, having run his video game business into the ground.

Speculation continues around the idea of Mayor Villaraigosa running for Governor, here and here. The question is, when?

At the City Council meeting this morning, a few honors will be handed out. First, Nix Check Cashing will be honored for its 40 anniversary of providing non-traditional financial services to
Southern California (watch out for those payday loans). Also, Council members Herb Wesson, Bernard Parks and Jan Perry will stage a "Salute to African American City Council Members Past and Present.''

On Saturday, the new gym at the Van Nuys-Sherman Oaks Park will be dedicated. Mayor Villaraigosa and Wendy Greuel will be on hand. If you go, its at 9:30 a.m. at 14201 Huston St.
