Afternoon Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Tuesday

The "official pose" of the Mayor Antonio Ramon Villar Administration?

** Its time for Mayor Antonio Villar to charge up more carbon offsets in search of a legacy as he preps for another DC trip. This time he is going to sit in the audience with First Lady Michelle Obama as President Barack Obama gives his "Jobs Speech" on Thursday.

** LA Weekly's Dennis Romero took notice of our report on the LA 32 Neighborhood Council's eviction from its office space at the El Sereno Constituent Center and its looking clear that this is Councilman Huizar's payback to both Barrio Action and the LA 32 NC. More on that later..........

** Democratic Campaign Treasurer, or should we say "EX" Kinde Durfee, is spilling the beans on her use of client's money for her personal needs. But then that is what democrats do with your tax dollars on a daily basis.

** It was a full house and then some as hundreds of identity-politics believers turned out today at the LA County Board of Supervisors meeting where redistricting was on the agenda. Looks like this 10 year act in compromise will be decided by others.

Your thoughts..............
