Mayor Garcetti (joins Mayor Sam) on "Storm Parade Watch, 2016"

We are glad to announce the addition of Mayor Eric Garcetti to our Mayor Sam's "Storm Parade Watch, 2016" bloggin coverage ........., as the City Clowncil Central Committee remains on its Winter Hibernation/Recess until January 12, 2016.

Mayor Garcetti speaking to assembled Media Sunday Night. 

** Blogger's Note: Great first Monday of 2016 to everyone as we endeavor to bring you the best in local political reporting (mixed with our patented humor-based, sardonic commentary) in the year ahead. We begin this first work week of the New Year, in pronouncing our "standing on common ground" with Second Term-seeking Mayor Eric Garcetti, in regards to exploiting a potential "Natural Emergency" for greater exposure.  While our bloggin desire is merely rooted in reaching a large audience with factually-based information (that in the case of our "Storm Parade Watch" coverage, will hopefully preserve lives), the ramifications for the Rhodes Scholar/Naval Reservist can make the difference in reassuring Angelinos of his fitness for a Mayoral Second Term, marketing himself to a wider audience beyond the City of LA's boundaries ........., or reinforcing the whispers of discerning critics about the Mayor's noted "Gar-Soft-ee Persona", that abhors decisive, decision making. But in the bloggin short term, the tech-savvy Officeholder is doing his best to marriage visual presentations via the local media, with the various Social Media mediums. in offering regular updates on the looming first in a series of "Storm Parades". Yet, we should remind Mayor Garcetti that the power of TV and Social Media, is lacking within the growing Homeless Shantytowns ........., and especially in those within the potentially deadly waterways, the old method of "foot warning" those in harm's way, may be the best social medium in preserving lives-----Scott Johnson.

How will Mayor Garcetti Preside over the upcoming "Parade of Storms"?

While Mayor Eric Garcetti was raising his Public Profile via yesterday's ride on the City of Los Angeles Rose Parade Float, an upcoming (and potentially dangerous) "Parade of Storms" will test the Rhodes Scholar/Navy Reservist's Political Mettle. 

Is that the Storm Parade in the near future?

 ** Blogger's Note: LIVE!! From the virtual, cyber newsroom of Mayor Sam ........., we're on "Bloggin Storm Parade Watch, 2016". As the first in a potentially, long parade of El Nino-influenced storms set their sites on Southern California, we will endeavor to provide instantaneous coverage (through our normal politically-centric prism of commentary), especially in regards to how Mayor Eric Garcetti presides in ensuring the safety of all Angelinos. We are eleven years removed from the last major damaging Wet Season (2004-2005) ......, and again, the leadership of a Second Term-seeking Officeholder (James Hahn in 2004) in presiding over weather-related issues, could have profound, future political implications for a likewise, bland (and Soft?) political persona, in current Mayor Eric Garcetti. But unlike then Mayor Hahn, Mayor Garcetti has to account for an exploding city-wide Homeless Crisis, that has propagated the establishment of numerous shanty encampments within water courses. In recent weeks, both Mayor Garcetti and the City Council have been taken to task, regarding their "vacillating resolve" in dealing with the Homeless Crisis. But in the short term, Mayor Garcetti, in concert with Public Safety officials, should take (and declare via a State of Emergency) decisive action, that ensures that LA's water courses, don't become liquid rampages of death ........., and immediately make available shelters for those in need------Scott Johnson.
