Nope, Wendy, the People Are Not Impressed

These endorsements hardly speak to the public's confidence in Wendy Gruel. Especially when she is caught in some lie, exaggeration or obfuscation at any given moment.

- Campaigned out of City Hall and with City resources

- Continues to spend and re-spend an imaginary $160 million in waste, fraud and abuse even her own office says doesn't exist

- Did nothing to improve Valley Plaza in North Hollywood and sections of Foothill Blvd in Sunland that now look like slums

-Makes wide claims of credit for successes of Mayor Tom Bradley and President Bill Clinton for programs she was tangentially involved in at best

On the other hand, we have Eric Garcetti whose endorsements come from thousands of community leaders as well as four of Garcetti's and Greuel's former opponents in the Mayoral primary.

Wendy once worked for DreamWorks; perhaps when she loses this election she can go back to work there and create special effects for the next Spielberg blockbuster. Just make sure the accountants have tight reign, though.
