Los Angeles Politics Hotsheet for Thursday
There's more...
NIMBYS in Woodland Hills still fighting a Costco championed by Dennis Zine at the massive Topanga Plaza Shopping Center. Even though people in the area WANT to shop where they get good service at great prices these bloggin' NIMBYS are attempting to divide and conquer their Neighborhood Council. The Costco is going into a giant shopping center that's been there for decades. It's not the same as trying to shoehorn a massive Home Depot into a postage stamp sized lot in Sunland-Tujunga.
The LA Times George Skelton, no fan of Meg Whitman, writes glowing accolades of Jerry Brown's term as Governor back in the 70s. George posits that Jerry got lucky in crossing uber-pol Bill Clinton that the former President tepidly endorsed Jerry instead of taking revenge on him. Despite all this Jerry's going to need a whole lot more luck to win the left-leaning scribe declares.

I would LOVE to have a Costco in our neighborhood. Costco rules. You can get a great big slice of good pizza and a soda for something like three dollars.
You can get an all beef hot dog and a soda for $1.62.
Fatso knows this well.
mayor sam...
I post here often, lately, but i am not going to use my regular handle.
today at a chamber event in the valley, a representative from the Brown and Whitman campaign will be in attendance to speak.
What's interesting about this is that the Brown campaign REFUSED to make this a debate. Even after Brown himself called on Whitman to debate him in LA.
Instead the Brown campaign wants each side to have 5 minutes to speak and 5 minutes to take questions. No debate. No direct communication.
Am I the only one that finds this interesting?
This is the same mayor who billed himself as the education mayor. What a hypocritical a-hole.
Someone should get him do do a tour of the libraries so he can see what a hub of activity they are.
Hooo, hoo hoo. Ha ha.
You're kidding, right?
Tony V. ("Mr. 1.4 GPA"); the guy failed the Bar exam 4 times), once called himself an "education mayor"?
You must be mistaken.
He slurs his speech a lot. I think you heard wrong, and what he really said was,
"I'm an UNeducated mayor."
Between a mayor who couldn't pass the bar after 4 tries and only got a 1.4 GPA with affirmative action and a city attorney who went to night law school in Carson at a place that closed under clouds of whether it was ever accredited and who sounds like a street thug - quite a pair.
These two deserve each other. But the city doesn't deserve either of them and with them going at each other only makes it worse for us. Idiot though the mayor is, and too pro-Latino to be the unifier he promised, it's the city attorney's job to serve him and be his lawyer, not his Grand Inquisitor.
Like someone said Cooley and his Pooch Nooch think they're J Edgar Hoover and Elliot Ness when they are a pair of reactionary, fearful fat old, Republican suburban white men who use their offices to operate by fear and intimidation.
YOU GUYS ACT AS IF TONY AND THE COUNCIL WILL CHANGE SOMETHING IF YOU SAY THE RIGHT THING THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN WHERE'S THE INCENTIVE. IT TAKES INCENTIVE TO MODIVATE THEM TO DO ANYTHING. THEIR SALARY OR PENTION WON'T CHANGE IF THEY DO WHAT YOU WANT. SO WHERE IS THERE INSENTIVE. THIS IS WHAT MAKES THIS CITY TICK. UNTIL YOU CAN COME UP WITH INSENTIVES THEY WILL LAY THERE DOING THE MINIMUM.
