Janice Hahn went along with it so for her to have second thoughts now is like Bill Flippenthal her partner in crime on a lot of these feel-good things that aren't thought through. <br /><br />Funny how the most liberal Democrats are the ones who never think about the impact of their decisions on poor working people, unless they're SO poor they qualify as Alarcon's charity cases in which case we're supposed to pay for illegals to take out loans so they can buy homes. He's always talking about how home ownership is so low in this city, and we need to give people living wage jobs and city-backed loans. <br /><br />He doesn't get that the real hard-working middle class left because all the poor came in and overwhelmed the schools and services. That's why home ownership is so low. Plus because young professionals can't afford to buy in nice areas and don't want to move to the cheap burbs.<br /><br />The Republicans on this council are even worse because they're liars to their alleged ideals - like Smith, Parks, Zine insisting that when they tripled our trash fee hikes and rammed through Prop S both for cops, getting Bratton to lobby for them using his name as the most respected official in L A, it was really meant just to offset the cost of trash pickup.<br />So these "conservatives" raised taxes under false pretenses and openly lied to us. Because they bungled the budget and now they're desperate. <br /><br />Making local budget worse is that the state is stealing our local gas taxes and even recycling deposits. So of course the Assembly wants to "solve" the matter by lowering the bar to raise taxes to a bare majority.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-23964179824674628662009-12-15T16:18:21.192-08:002009-12-15T16:18:21.192-08:00Let's not forget who among OURSELVES put these...Let's not forget who among OURSELVES put these people in office.<br /><br />I'm talking about Mayor Sam himself.

They each pleaded for extensions from the Jan. effective date and some asked Villaraigosa for the attention as he's supported by lots of Latinos. <br /><br />If Villaraigosa was relied on for little person help, they will be very dissappointed by his short memory on everything. Janice Hahn plugged a loan program that givea an automatic 4-mo. extsn. with the application filed. That was HER plug as a responsive CM. Will they qualify for any funding is a totally different question.<br /><br />(I think she went past the 500-word Brown Act limit on speaking on Non-Agenda items by a CM. But in this case, it was at least informative as a partial answer.)<br /><br />The self-serving presentation on the Guadalajara Book Fair was all about fun and vacation accommodation provided, with federal funding of $2.1 million, $200,000 to reimburse staff travel of the Cultural Affairs woman. <br /><br />Nobody every talks about the pendind on the pressing issues that just sits while Huizar, Reyes and others go off on this junket. John Walsh called it the Antonio Villaraigosa Self-Promotion Tour.<br /><br />Cultural affairs people only are concerned with their circle of interests and the rest of what keeps government operational is out of their realm or interest.<br /><br />They never talk about money exiting the U.S. economy or time away from L.A. while things sit, and will sit after tomorrow until January's return to Council meetings.<br /><br />The whole presentation of items is so slanted, with Cardenas doing jr. lawyer questioning of the staff head about the importance of the Guadalajara Book Fair in cultual circles. Very annoying and done awkwardly by him in that usual style of leading questions, and "would you say this was important, or would you say this was not important" type of boring questions that a stand-in could answer as posed.<br /><br />The council decides what is important and when it it not. They decide WHEN something is important to deal with and when it can sit for weeks. <br />Worst of all, they can rush shady deals with the lowest level of notice legally required to try to avoid opposition or bad P.R.<br /><br />They are just too pompous and wasteful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-2233969896033839662009-12-15T11:51:41.193-08:002009-12-15T11:51:41.193-08:00My Bruce Margolin Story: Ok, so I have this attorn...My Bruce Margolin Story: Ok, so I have this attorney "friend" (ho ho ho) who was in court with Bruce a few years ago, and as he was relaying the story of his dealings with Mr. Margolin, he kept calling him Stuart.
