Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Thursday

Only 361 days left in the reign of Mayor Antonio Villar.

Great post "Fourth of July", "Fiscal New Year" and in CD 14 "Happy June 29 (or 30) Fireworks Day" to all who participated in any of these yearly celebrations during the last week.

** "Bottom feeder"? "Idiot"? You could guess that these duo words would of been directed at this blog over time by various sources (Lil Mikey, Betty, Huizzy, Private Citizen John Shallman to name a few). But no! That was the choice verbiage of Mayor Villar when questioned by Los Angeles Times reporters about his now past relationship with KTLA Channel Five Reporter Lu Parker. Verbiage is in fine form within the comment section, kinda like the old "wild west days" of non-regulated comments here at Mayor Sam. Some samples.

A warning for the local female media contingent.

USC Trojan Alum at 9:00 PM July 2, 2012Look out, female reporters at ABC7, CBS/KCAL9, FOX11, KCOP13, NBC4 and Univsion, the mayor is now heading your way..... 

Verbiage need for moderation.

** We chanced upon this "forlorn editorial" from the Downtown News which called upon Mayor Villar to skip out on his upcoming Democratic National Convention duties and focus on his job. We admire audacity in print but what odds would the Downtown scribes give on this transpiring, 1000 to 1?

This week Betty has some dire news for her "brother and sisters" in Labor.

A PALE HORSE COMETH — You know, there is a horrible anti-union measure scheduled to appear on the California ballot in November. It is just sitting in the hopper waiting to get a proposition number from Secretary of State Debra Bowen. This coming atrocity is one in which right-wingers are seeking to outlaw payroll deductions from employees in all the unions in the state — not just the public employee unions — but all of them! They are no longer content to weaken the clout of public employees, but they want to wipe collective bargaining off the face of the earth for everybody. Get ready to beat this dog to death!

The horror of regulating non-democratic unions!!

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