Mayor Sam's Hotsheet for Tuesday
Hoping to not doom chances for passage of Mayor Vs phone tax by pissing off the voters even more, the City Clowncil will probably hold off on DWP rate increases that have been tossed around for a while now.A green blog derides Mayor Villaraigosa for failing to get Angelenos to conserve water and says that the Mayor seems to "epitomize everything the rest of us think about Los Angeles; all surface, a suit and smiling face with no more real substance than a Saturday AM cartoon rerun." Ouch!
Walking from the Metro to work, Steve Lopez runs into a press conference on thieves stealing copper wire from LA's street lights.
Our post on new KNBC weathercaster Elita Loresca stirred up some readers with some of finding the "sexiest newscaster in America" to look like a "tranny" and others finding her unattractive because the Phillipine born and Southern California reared Loresca "looked too Mexican." If you want more on Loresca you can check out a fan created blog that reviews her wardrobe or check out video and more pictures at the Backyard.
Now that he's ended it with Mirthala, Mayor V may want to post some personal ads on Craig's List or Match.com. Our friend Jon Regardie has drafted some up for the Mayor. Or the Mayor could take the advice of Speed Seduction creator Ross Jeffries to get some good mileage going for the holidays.
Here in Van Nuys has a great post about what a horribly ugly corner Sepulveda and Vanowen in Van Nuys (or is it Valley Glen or West Lake Balboa or Lake Balboa or Encino or Sherman Oaks? Someone please advise.) is. Who is the Clowncil Member over there?
Starting January 1st, you will no longer be able to transfer for free from the Metro to an LADOT or DASH bus.
Redondo Beach levied fines on cable operator Time Warner. When Time Warner asked to appeal to the the local Clowncil, they were turned down. Now, they're suing.
Kudos to Joseph Mailander for getting linkage from LAist for his post advising Mayor Villaraigosa on how he should use his bully pulpit to bring recalcitrant movie studios to the bargaining table in the writers' strike. Just wish they would have given the byline to Joe and not me (cause you know good old reactionary Republican me would come down on the side of the studios).
Even though they use "bio-fuels" with a minimal carbon footprint, City Clowncil liberals in New York City want to ban the horse and carriages that are a city icon.
State Senator Alan Lowenthal, writing at Capitol Weekly, says that if the Governor and members of the Legislature really want re-districting reform, they could pass SCA 10, rather than getting ready for a costly signature gathering drive and ballot fight.
Gossip mongers are parsing a recent speech by Jodie Foster that the actress is coming out as a lesbian. Who knew?

I love the white woman, Jackie Johnson the weather girl and television personality for the primetime KCAL-TV news and the late afternoon KCBS-TV news. Before moving to California, she previously served as a weatherperson/personality on WSVN in Miami, and before that WCTV in Tallahassee. In 2003, Miss Johnson was also voted "hottest" meteorologist in an online poll by Playboy Magazine. You know there aint nothing beeter than a big boob white woman

Mayor Villa-LaGrossa has trouble being decisive because his administration is schizoid about most things. They can't figure out whether they want to be progressive or "Riordan Administration II," and the result is that the only time anything ever happens is when MAV decides to do it on his own.
Villa-LaGrossa is doing okay on big environmental policy, but his peeps are afraid to inconvenience anybody (like voters and big commercial interests) with something like water conservation, so they dragged their feet for months when the solution was obvious. Now, the water shortage is coming home to roost and they have the mayor saying stupid things like "I need to see the science."
Here's the science: the glass isn't half-full anymore and unless it rains a bunch in the next few months, it won't have anything in it at all. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to see that, but the mayor's Team Triangulation is so afraid of offending stupid voters they can't even figure out how to enroll in pre-med.
I really like the slutty looking white woman on Fox11 news. Here is a picture of her. She looks nice and slutty in this picture. I love slutty looking white news reporters. We need more of these kind of white woman on the news. Is Carmen Electra or Paris Hilton available?

GEEZ, Lou-weez, MS -- if you don't read your OWN friggin' blog, then why would you expect the friggin' hurdled masses to do same?
Joseph M. already ran something here and linked to the Regardie "personal ads for ADV" 10 friggin' days ago.
Pay friggin' attention, will you?!
It ain't like there's nothing else going on out there. Writers' strike got you running friggin' repeats now?
If you're going to friggin' "phone it in" now, at least wait until the phone tax thing is all worked out.
Leroy/ anon: Carmen Electra is your example of a white woman? Really?
As for Paris, she makes a lot of money doing classy trashy, your Filipina Latina weather girl chose to make a fool of herself looking trashy trashy and then probably wants "respect" for her, uh, weathercasting skills.
Yeah, your culture is embarrassing, but your 6 identical lame postings on this are more so.
Who the hell is talking about my girlfriend Jenna Jameson. I will choke any of you punks who talk about my white ex-porn star.

That filipina reporter is a tramp. The filipinos have no class, and her boobs are gross. I wonder if she even wears nice under-wear. Us white girls have lots of class are are better learned and berry smart.

If all the utilities bury their lines, will that stop the thieves from stealing the copper cables? Just a thought...
Yeah’s: 14,
City council voted to push off rate increases for DWP water and power service until February 2008.
ITEM NO. (38)
07-3909
MOTION (PERRY - GARCETTI - PARKS - GREUEL) relative to the referral of the Los Angeles Water and Power (LADWP) water and power rate increase proposals and power restructuring proposal to the Board of Water and Power Commissioners and the LADWP for further consideration.
Recommendations for Council action:
1. WITHDRAW the LADWP water and power rate actions (Council files Nos. 07-3248 and 07-3247) and power restructuring proposal (Council file No. 07-3249) from the Energy and Environment and Budget and Finance Committees, pursuant to Council Rule 54, and REFER the items back to the Board of Water and Power Commissioners and the LADWP for further review and consideration. This review will address the following items as noted by the Council:
a. Report on a Lifeline and Low Income Program comparison with similar Investor Owned Utility.
b. Report on the hiring, training and staff development linked to the rate increases and how the General Manager will address civil service/hiring issues.
c. Provide a listing of all power reliability program projects by Council Districts.
d. Report on an assessment of the City Transfer versus Investor Owned Utility fees/taxes and the impact to the City and Department under each scenario.
e. Report on the LADWP’s real estate strategy and initiatives to increase revenues and other similar programs.
f. Work on the development of an oversight committee, in conjunction with the City Council, that tracks expenditures, the progress of infrastructure upgrades and staffing through the use of metrics (the report should address the General Manager’s reporting role to the oversight committee).
g. Work with the Neighborhood Councils as it relates to the Memorandum of Understanding and provide the Neighborhood Councils with additional time to review and comment on the rate proposals.
h. Develop a power rate restructuring formula that charges ratepayers throughout the City on an equitable basis regardless of the region of the City that they reside in or conduct business.
i. Report on the fiscal impact to the City and LADWP revenues associated with adopting a new power rate restructuring proposal.
2. REQUEST the Board of Water and Power Commissioners and the LADWP to report to the Energy and Environment and Budget and Finance Committees in 60 days on the status or inclusion of their review of the Water Rate Action, Power Rate Action, and Power Restructuring Proposal and related matters as specified.
ASSHOLES....THEY THINK THEY'RE FOOLING US? STUPID DUMB SHIT MORONS. WE ALL KNOW THEY'RE WAITING TIL PHONE TAX HITS. ANTONIO HAS HIS PEOPLE ALREADY USING SCARE TACTICS SAYING THEY WILL CUT BACK COPS. THANKS WALTER FOR THIS....
...Measure S phone tax could tap Internet usage..Despite assurances that a telephone-users tax on the February ballot is simply aimed at modernizing how Los Angeles taxes communications systems, wording in the measure opens the door to also taxing Internet access.
Federal law currently prohibits taxes on Internet access and e-mail - but that law sunsets in 2014, and some watchdogs said Monday that if the broadly written Measure S telephone tax passes it could allow the city to tax Internet access without additional voter approval.
"How do you say you're not taxing the Internet when the statute specifically says it's covering DSL, Voice-Over-Internet protocol, text messaging, instant messaging and PCS?" said Walter Moore, who is writing the opposition to the measure for the Feb. 5 ballot.
"You don't need a law degree to realize this is a tax on the Internet and wireless and all that."
Big difference between Steve "Lopez" and Steve "Hymon." Hymon wrote the piece about copper wire press conference, not Lopez.....
The thing the DWP needs to do is not leave every single light on in their downtown building round the clock. You can't tell me that every single office is occupied at 10:00 pm every single evening, including weekends. These aren't even energy efficient flourescents, but the same ones from when the building was constructed. When no one's working there, turn off the lights. Don't charge us because you won't do your part in saving energy.
Who is next to come out? Queen Latifa, Anderson Vanderbilt Cooper, Raymond Burr or Agnes Moorhead?
I think Agnes Moorehead is dead. But, hey, better late than never.
