Morning Coffee Break

LA Citybeat covers the 38th Assembly District race and perhaps the convetional wisdom that its a safe, Republican seat isn't so, conventional.

Either his career has taken a turn for the worse or mass transit in LA is a good thing for everyone. Last night somewhere in Hollywood, actor Jerry O'Connell, formerly of "Sliders," "Stand by Me," and now "Crossing Jordan" hopped on the Red Line, got off at the NoHo station and promptly boarded the Orange Line. O'Connell was spotted by two legislative staffers returning from Staples Center for the Clippers game.

Last night the LA Weekly website posted Jeffery Anderson's follow-up story on Rocky's $1.5 million wrongful termination trial loss to former Deptuty City Attorney Lynn Magnadonovan. Anderson reports that, in post-verdict statements, jurors pointed to a faulty investigation, unconvincing testimony by the City Attorney's witnesses, and the lack of documented poor performance by Magnadonovan.

Mr. "Republican" Mayor S,

What is your opinion on this particular AV news


"The changes also could include reducing the central bureaucracy staff from 3,100 to about 100, selling the headquarters of the Los Angeles Unified School District and keeping students in class until 5 p.m., the Los Angeles Times reported today"

WHAT DOWNTOWN DEVELOPER WOULD WANT THIS LAUSD BUILDING? ANY CLUES?

O'Connell is marrying Rebecca Romajin. That make his still hot by Hollywood standards Uncle Jesse is still hot too, come to think of it.

Mayor Sam you must get the video of Councilman Zine going off and losing his temper in yesterday's city council meeting. The South LA Farmers spoke at public comment and lied about an incident involving Zine and he went crazy yelling at them in chambers. Then the farmers all had to be escorted out cause they started cursing at Zine. Please get the video. The story is in Daily News but we need to see video. it will be on again on Saturday with the Jose video of his constituent going off on him.

Just saw a poll--no one expects to have to pay for the roads with a friggin' parcel tax--it can't even make it over a majority, let alone 2/3rds. Everyone knows that Cardenas is an idiot (and to do this the same day as the mayor is about as dumb as they come, unless he is trying to tank them both), but this makes Smith seem like he might be pretty fucking stupid, too.
