Chick to Audit Children's Musem
Calling the financial shortfall in the construction of the Los Angeles Children*s Museum, "deeply disturbing" City Controller Laura Chick has announced that she will conduct a financial audit of the organization.
"The City of Los Angeles not having a Children's Museum has created a tremendous void in our educational and cultural portfolio. Millions of precious public dollars have been poured into this project, and it is deeply disturbing that construction may be halted. My audit team has begun taking steps to conduct the audit and will complete a report as soon as possible." said Chick.

Yeah Laura Chick N Shit is going after the mueseum but still refuses to audit the gang programs that wasting $82 million. What's her lame ass excuse? Could it be there's so much corruption within those programs with campaign donations? I wish a reporter would file a public records act to find out the truth.

Zen and the art of management

The Los Angeles Housing Department has paid thousands of dollars to a Zen Buddhist priest from Hawaii for management training that includes teaching breathing with sphincter control, learning "how to stand" and playing with wooden sticks.
Norma Wong, a former Hawaii state legislator and leadership consultant, has been paid $18,819 since 2005 to conduct at least four training sessions for executives and other staff. The most recent one was last week.
Mercedes Marquez, the general manager of the department, said the training was designed to help "center" Housing Department managers and teach them to react nimbly to problems such as the city's housing shortage. Up to 30 people attended each session.

Why would Laura Chick audit a wasteful gang program when she and the Mayor are endorsing a school board candidate/neighborhood prosecutor who sat back and watched a 43% rise in serious crimes committed by gang members in the Valley...?

The mismanagement of this organization would be a joke if you think that wasting millions of taxpayer dollars on a vanity project envisioned by imbeciles is funny.
