Los Angeles Politics Hotsheet for Tuesday
About 400 operators of medical marijuana clinics will receive a letter from the City Attorney's office this week informing them they must cease operations by June 7th or be shut down by the City itself. KPCC reports however that some of the shops will remain open in an effort to fight an ordinance passed by the City Council and signed by the Mayor.
Paul Hatfield draws an excellent comparison to the economic troubles in Greece to those in Los Angeles and California; as the result of massive government employee pensions. The situation in Greece has grown so bad that riots have broken out.
CalWatchdog says there won't be any significant boycotts by California cities against Arizona in protest of Arizona's controversial and ill timed immigration reform law. Why? Because they can't afford it. Yesterday we noted that Paul Hatfield found that such boycotts might even be illegal. In the meantime some African American activists are criticizing the Mayor over the boycott idea saying that illegal immigration has harmed the Black community in Los Angeles.
While the City is downsizing and planning to lay off employees, guess who is growing? The DWP. The LA Weekly notes that the utility has added 6% more employees in the last year. Additionally, the average salary at DWP is $91,000 per year.
If you're tired of rate hikes and strip club visits at the DWP you can actually secede from the power grid! Atwater Village Newbie charts the tale of a homeowner who has gone all solar and can actually run his meter backward selling power back to the grid.
If you care about the welfare of Griffith Park and environs you must make Griffith Park Wayist a part of your daily blog reading. The blog is the go to source for news about the Park and the efforts by a certain Councilman to turn it into Disneyland. The latest edition details how funds raised to "save the Hollywood Sign" will actually be used for tourist type amenities near the sign such as improved roads and a Tiffany and Company (one of the major donors to the effort) overlook pavilion for the purpose of encouraging couples to get engaged above the Hollywood Sign. If you donated to the effort to halt development around the sign, is this what you signed up for?
And finally if you didn't get the chance to listen to JoeB and I co-hosting Live LA Saturday Night with David Hernandez (guest hosting for the vacationing Frank Sheftel) you can listen on your computer or download it to your iPod/iPhone/iPad by clicking here.

Today is two weeks since the failed-from-the-start recall the mayor campaign launched by INCOMPETENTS who didn't plan.
Phil Jennerjahn
Walter Moore
David Hernandez.
By the end of today, the 15th day, these morons need 30,000 VALID signatures, JUST TO STAY ON PACE.
They "haven't a clue" how many signatures or volunteers that they have. Without a plan, and without knowing if they need to tweak it, they are GUARANTEED to fail.
While I DETEST Villaraigosa and City Council, I do not want to see my fellow Angelenos WASTE THEIR TIME on a project with NO LEADERSHIP and NO ANSWERS and NO DIRECTION.
You might as well shred the petition you have because it is a fruitless endeavor.
THANKS PHIL, DAVID AND WALTER! YOU'RE ALL IDIOTS. ESPECIALLY THE ONE WHO THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS GOING TO "LAUNCH ME INTO NATIONAL PROMINENCE."
I will continue to offer such comments until these boobs admit they totally fucked this up and didn't have a plan. They need to be SHUNNED for wasting the opportunity.
I don't know about Walter or David but I thought Phil's plan was that he had 100,000 potheads who would sign and once that happened it would motivate SEIU to finish the rest.
Wasn't that the plan?
Anyway forget about Phil. Focus on what Paul Hatfield has brought up that the situation in Greece is a foreshadow for here in California OR the fact that when everything else is downsizing the DWP has grown 6%.
The black activists are protesting on deaf ears. The Mayor has three--and only three--priorities: billionaires, news anchors, and Latinos. In that order.
Higby,
You should call that "The Phil math."
As in,
I need 4,000 people getting 100 signatures a day, for 120 days.
Or
I need 2,000 people getting 200 signatures a day, for 120 days.
And so forth. PHIL IS A FUCKING MORON WHO YOU FOUND AND GAVE THE MICROPHONE TO. AT THE VERY LEAST, YOU SHOULD INSIST ON EXPOSING THIS DELUSIONAL FRAUD EVERY DAY UNTIL BOTH THE RECALL DEADLINE PASSES AND THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE IS OVER.
I am so fucking sick of Phil's dopey videos of himself. I don't know what you ever saw in him. Don't keep falling for his bullshit that he is now going to "focus" on the recall. You're smarter than that. Or you're supposed to be smarter than that.

Another story about Mike Gatto and his little Armenian friend.
12:10
So Gatto is meeting with his opponent a month before the election to "heal wounds"? What the fuck is that.
wonder how long before the Gatto truthers show up.
There is nothing wrong with Mike meeting with his opponents. It is routine for candidate to meet after a tough election.
@12:40 - I've never heard of such a thing. They are OPPONENTS!
Higby & Red Spot= Bought and paid for by dirty Armenian money.
Mike and his friends have ALL the goods on you assholes.
The shoe will be dropping soon.
2:52 or Racist Gatto supporter:
Put up your proof or just shut up.
Dirty Armenian money? This Democrat is voting Republican.
Antonio was voted in by the help of the blacks. Now, that he has upset that group along with many legal residents with his grandstanding for people breaking the law "illegals" what is he going to do. Drive through downtown LA, MacArthur Park, San Pedro, Silverlake, Eastside and all you see are illegal vendors, blight, trash, dirty stores and its all because of idiot politicians like Hahn, Reyes, Antonio, Huizar, Garcetti, who don't care about keeping our city clean. They must have been raised like pigs because to not want their areas clean says a lot about them.
Why would any one be surprised that Gatto and Chahe K would be meeting.
No Chahe and Gatto is back being another down town lawyer.
I hope Gatto's check to Chahe is a real big one, he really deserves it.
2:52
Gatto supporters showing there real face. No class bigots.
I will believe they are closing the MM stores when I see it happen. We have already waited too long for that to take place in Sunland-Tujunga. At my last count we had 16 within a three miles radius!
3:26
It is not racist but the truth. A lot of people voted for Mike because we are tied and fed up with Armenian criminals.
I am hope this sends them a message.
The talk from the Gatto camp is that Chahe was an Hacopian plant.
The two of them have been friends for a long time. He was asked to run so Hacopian can play the race card against Gatto.
They have the documents to prove it.
4:36
So using your logic the way to send a message to "Armenian Criminals" is by haveing your candidate hold a meeting with them.
What kind of message does that send.
5:34
Your a nut
I can't believe that you dum dums just said that Antonio, Janice, Eric, etc. all want illegal vendors and trash all over.
The short bus is driving away. Go jump on it.
