Mayor Sam's Hotsheet for Election Day

Make sure you vote today.

LA Business Journal via RonKayeLA: Antonio tells the truth (finally) about Measure B and the IBEW: "You say, 'We cut a deal with them.' Yeah, we did. We built a partnership with them...they didn't see any jobs." How surreal.

In a last minute endorsement the Daily News selects our pick David Vahedi for the 5th Council District seat that Jack Weiss will be dragged from kicking and screaming. "Vahedi stands out as a candidate well-versed in district issues and who has track record of representing community concerns," says the News.

The Fishwrap of Record does the usual lame pre-election preview. One interesting note - very low numbers when it comes to receipt of absentee ballots. About a third of those who requested have mailed them back in.

Jon Regardie at the LA Downtown News does it again. Jon imagines Mayor Villaraigosas's acceptance speech. "Los Angeles, there is so much we can accomplish in the next two - sorry, the next four years."

We mentioned yesterday an LA Times piece that reported that Skid Row residents are screwed when it comes to getting government coupons for free converter boxes when over-the-air TV goes digital. Turns out our friends at the LA Downtown News were on top of it before the Times with more detailed coverage.

Tuesday, March 3, 2009 is here.


Angelenos complain and continue to reelect these same ineffective politicos over and over which is why the politicos do as he/she pleases with no accountability to their constituents. Don’t be fooled by the colorful fliers and twenty second media sound bites during elections. Vote these same LA Politicos out of office on March 3, 2009.

If you don't vote, you don't count.

Vote for CHANGE!

Also,

Measure A: NO
Measure B: NO
Measure E: NO
