I also said that you shouldn't read to much into the LANCC meeting being at City Hall. C'mon guys, give me a little bit of credit. :)<BR/><BR/>I am quite aware of the Mayors event and the thought was that it would be easier for NC members to head upstairs to the LANCC rather then schlep to some other venue being the DWP wasn't available.<BR/><BR/>It was a move out of convenience not some big political gesture. That being said, the tone of things certainly appears to be better... which was the point I was trying to make in my email.Jim Algerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770268074137978885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-29203445716720350402007-02-28T17:46:00.000-08:002007-02-28T17:46:00.000-08:00I think Alger got screwed on this one or maybe lik...I think Alger got screwed on this one or maybe like some are saying he knew about it and is pretending not to have.<BR/><BR/>On Saturday Antonio is having his big Beautiful Clean up LA day starting at city hall.

Is it true that more "white" people are involved? Or some alledgedly higher economic class is more involved? Yes. Why? Because the disenfranchised tend not to get involved in a system that has failed them.<BR/><BR/>Then these bozos talk about "outreach" and miserable turnout but the city does zilch to produce any outreach. <BR/><BR/>If it were up to the elitists on the 4th floor, NC's would spend 100% of their funds on outreach so the NC could be ignored in city hall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-88417293770747312132007-02-28T12:40:00.000-08:002007-02-28T12:40:00.000-08:0012:30, "why bother penning 1,000 words when no one...12:30, "why bother penning 1,000 words when no one reading any of them, right?"<BR/><BR/>then why did you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-25211915679910052632007-02-28T12:30:00.000-08:002007-02-28T12:30:00.000-08:00Wacko, the subject matter of Councilman Yawn's pos...Wacko, the subject matter of Councilman Yawn's postings are no more or less interesting to the public at large than your own. Neither one of you gets a smattering of attention or responses. The few that do bother to post on his are the half-dozen hardass, under-elected NC board members -- who only bother if someone suggests they're unmandated and really just playing the NC game so they can take a number and stand in waiting to become the next city council candidate from nowhere (that's where your "high comment numbers" come from 12:17, hyperbolic thin-skinned defensiveness).<BR/><BR/>Anybody remember the "straw man" from a few months back. Read the nearly identical (though more diplomatic) pre-appointment pronouncements of the new GM of DONE, especially on the topic of NCs being wholly unrepresentative and under-representative (i.e., "elitist").<BR/><BR/>How long before the honeymoon is over and she gets crowned as the "straw woman" (or worse, Sarno II)?<BR/><BR/>How loooooong? Not looooong!<BR/><BR/>At least your posts are shorter and to the point, Wacko, (not written like some "what I did for summer vacation" 7th grade essay).
