Randy Economy: Greuel Campaigned on Taxpayer Dime
A six month investigation by Los Cerritos Community Newspaper (LCCN) into the official activities of Los Angeles City Controller Wendy Greuel has shown that, in possible violation of the Los Angeles Governmental Ethics Commission Ordinance, she has spent an overwhelming majority of her official schedule for the past three years attending lavish dinners, lunches, breakfasts, and social events in an effort to advance her 2013 mayoral campaign.

Oh gee, Wendy took a city salary while campaigning full time. What else is new? They Mayor has spent maybe 11% of the time doing his job. The rest of the time he's out parying and looking for ways to get his mug on TV.
No wonder the city is in such bad shape. Anyone who votes for these do nothings deserves what they get.
Wendy probably took the cue from Mayor Antonio who constantly was trekking and, as he said in the Channel 4 Sunday news interview, he is in the picture taking business (is it any wonder L.A. has such a huge variety of ethics, legal and fiscal problems?).
Antonio spent two terms trying to move up the political ladder with a huge staff subtituting for his actual involvement in city issues.
Janice Hahn had many council absences approved by Council President ERIC GARCETTI as part of her campaigning for congress that called for another (very expensive) special election to fill the council seat she vacated.
Wendy, as Controller, is without any leeway, wiggle room or other allowance to claim justification for any of this wandering away from allowable conduct. Too many years supporting Villaraigosa has rubbed off on the current and former council members, as well.
These are "Career Politicians" doing what makes them put themselves ahead of all else they could be doing for us.

ARE ANY OF YOU REALLY SURPRIZED? THIS IS HOW SHE WILL GOVERN TOO! SHE'S NOT ALONE IN THIS KIND OF CAMPAIGNING. YOU WANTED A ACTIVE CONTROLLER I GUESS MANY OF YOU DIDN'T GET THAT SHE USED THAT JOB AS A STEP TOWARDS THE JOB SHE REALLY WANTED. STOP WASTING YOU VOTE ON THESE KIND OF REVOLVING DOOR POLITIANS. SHE WON'T BE ANYMORE INVOLVED THAT TONY V. CAN YOU STAND 4 MORE YEARS OF THAT!
