Mayor Sam's Hotsheet for Monday

LAist says that Rocky Delgadillo could have avoided his recent troubles had he told the truth a week and a half ago. Hell, how about six years ago? And lets extend the same advice to the Mayor as well. Looking forward to more soap operas this week.

Wonder if the anti-Home Depot people in Sunland-Tujunga might see this as a mixed blessing? A part of the Federal "immigration reform" bill prohibits cities and states from passing laws that require stores such as Home Depot to build day laborer centers.

Adelanto City Councilwoman Zoila Meyer registered, voted and was elected. But it turns out the Cuban born Meyer is only a legal resident, not a naturalized citizen. Zoila has been arrested and may be deported.

Juan Tornoe writes that Tuesday's upcoming election to replace the deceased Congresswoman Juanita Millender-McDonald may turn out to be a watershed moment with regard to Hispanics further extending political control over traditionally African America South Central Los Angeles.

Downtown Central City East Blogger Don Garza is happy with Councilwoman Jan Perry. She managed to get pay toilets in Skid Row to work.

The City Council of Glendale, Arizona will vote Tuesday whether or not to allow the Los Angeles Dodgers to move their spring training facilities to the city and hence ending a decades long tradition of heading to Vero Beach, Florida every pre-season.

They're taking away the only place those who like to race automobiles can do it yet City officials are still worried about dangerous, illegal street racing they're planning to (perhaps unconstitutionally) seize and destroy the vehicles of racers. This is an important activity of many cultures that should be protected as other forms of politically correct expressions seem to be. But the perception that the sport is solely the domain of middle aged white guys with beer bellies allows self-serving politicians to cut loose good citizens who are doing nothing wrong (and that's the legal not illegal racers).

Here's a parking tip from LA CityNerd via Zach Behrens at LAist (aren't they the same guy?). Yellow loading zones are only enforced Monday through Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The rest of the time you can park there.
Zach also reports a number of changes are going into effect at the MTA this week, including some super duper Metro Rapid express schedules on Wilshire Boulevard and more Metro Rapid service in other parts of the city.

And finally though the Westside White Guy has yet to report on this one, there appears to be another stench in Los Angeles. Unlike the previous stench on the Westside this one has hit Hollywood. Though it probably doesn't compare the the stench that's been coming out of City Hall for years.
