Mid-Afternoon Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Scene for Wednesday: Garcetti flips, twist and turns on DWP Rate Payer Advocate

City Council Presdient Eric Garcetti is playing a new tune one day after kissing IBEW's "Boss D'Arcy's rear end, on gutting the powers of the proposed DWP Rate Payer Advocate

Political wafflers don't make great Mayors, even when they flip for a better cause.

Witness today's actions by Los Angeles City Council President Eric Garcetti. One day after drawing the ire of the likes of Ron Kaye and many activists city-wide, in regards to bowing to the all-mighty DWP Overlord and IBEW Strongman Brian D'Arcy and gutting the proposed DWP Ratepayer Advocate, with help from seven other political simpletons. Garcetti today, flops and reinstate the key language that enpowers the Advocate position.

This was not the only flip-flopping did as today approaches sunset. Ron Kaye posts that Garcetti reverse himself on the controversial CRA-Hal Katersky 1601 N. Vine St. Project.

Waffling in the short term, may engender some good wiil and media coverage but how long will it take Boss D'Arcy to flip Garcetti back to his "Garshady Persona"?
