Mayor Sam's Hotsheet for Wednesday

Orange County Superior Court Judge Michael Brenner has refused to order a Laguna Beach parade association to allow the anti-illegal immigration group Minuteman Project from a parade next month. Brenner said in his ruling that the organizers of the parade can exclude anyone they want. Wonder if that would apply to the gay groups who have been excluded from the Saint Patrick Day parades in New York.

West LA Online picks up on a LA Business Journal article that the Mann Theatre chain is pulling out of the historic National Theatre in Westwood.

Paris Hilton has been told by a Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner that she has to stay away from event planner and public relations consultant Brian Quintanna. Quintanna told the court that Hilton shoved him three seperate times, threatend his life and disturbed his relationships with his clients. The details of the restraining order were not released.

Joe Mailander at Martini Republic has a great piece about how damn frustrating it is to get around downtown by public transportation.

Michael Schneider at Franklin Avenue details the short life of TV station LTN and its failed attempt to grab the eyeballs of LA's young adults.

Last week I was forwarded a press release touting SEIU Local 99’s endorsement of Monica Garcia for school board.

Yes, that is the same local being investigated by the US ATTORNEY, LA DISTRICT ATTORNEY and the LA EHTICS COMMISSION for misappropriating union money and improperly funding Ludlow’s 2003 City Council race (See today’s LA Times article for more detail).

Word of advice to Monica: instead of taking any endorsement you can get, you may want to investigate a little. And, I and others will be watching to make sure Local 99 doesn't engage in any illegal activies on your behalf in the District 2 race.
