His speech was uninspiring and very old. <br /><br />The response was tepid, the number that showed up in the audience to hear him was DISMAL. The worst turn out for a Mayor in VICA history !!! Maybe 75-100 people, including Richard Alarcon and all those that Hahn brought with him.<br /><br />He talked about past successes(trivial at best)and provided no vision of the future. <br /><br />It was uninspiring. Going through the motions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-1106763854988923692005-01-26T10:24:00.000-08:002005-01-26T10:24:00.000-08:00The sad part is that VICA still provides him with ...The sad part is that VICA still provides him with opportunity after opportunity to screw them. <br /><br />Is it that important to have a 'Mayor' speak to your group, even when he has dissed it a number of times in the past and has made clear from his actions that he doesn't give a damned about VICA or the San Fernando Valley.<br /><br />VICA, quit your pandering to the pompous and maybe your membership and attendance would grow. Stand up for what you really believe in and as a lobbying organization show your 'sack', sometimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-1106763337435467322005-01-26T10:15:00.000-08:002005-01-26T10:15:00.000-08:00The tragic train crash will probably give Hahn cov...The tragic train crash will probably give Hahn cover to not show up.

Tough questions.
I smell a conflict ...OH, NO !!!! Tough questions. <br /><br />I smell a conflict in the Mayor's schedule. Don't know what it is but it will come up soon. <br /><br />Perhaps Hertzberg and Alarcon and Parks and Villaragosa will be there too. It is an 'open' forum..........do you think there may be a reason why ? <br /><br />Also, hear rumors of an attorney who is running for Mayor and hasn't been able to get a showdown with Slippery Jim may be showing up....and RAISING ......ARIZONA?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-1104945802975282162005-01-05T09:23:00.000-08:002005-01-05T09:23:00.000-08:00Mayor Hahn will have his hands full on Jan 26th. ...Mayor Hahn will have his hands full on Jan 26th. VICA is an important organization in the SFV that you can't live without and you can't get rid of as much as you want too. The Mayor is going to have to contend with the business tax, promoting commerce in LA and the SFV, challenging VICA on Van Nuys Airport (i bet he won't), challenging VICA on non-sense housing developments that cause trafffic and pollution (Whitebird, Las Lomas, Ahmanson), and deal with making City Hall more receptive to Valley residents and business owners. It's about time he shows up...but he should have shown up a long time ago. As much as VICA can get under your skin, you can't blow them off...it can be a political death wish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
