The New Front Runner for LA Mayor

Councilman Paul Krekorian is off to a flying start in his first full day in office.  As reported by OurLA the Second District Councilman proved that he meant what he said during his campaign and introduced legislation with teeth to limit the controversial state law, SB1818, which seeks to tie the hands of local cities when it comes to development.

That being said Krekorian makes it clear he is serious and intends to deliver for the people who elected him.  Along with some recent excellent hires for his Council staff it will quickly further endear the charasmatic politician to the City of Los Angeles.  We don't know if Paul Krekorian intends to run for Mayor of Los Angeles but with crop of current and former Council Members who plan to run and are generally ridiculed by their constituents - not to mention the crop of gadflies and unknown corporate types who might jump in the race - Krekorian presents a qualified and attractive alternative not only to anything we've already had but to what we could have.

If he keeps it up these next two years, if he wants to be Mayor, he has it.

A StuPendous Plan For Los Angeles' Future ---

STUPENDOUS is wondering ...

What did Mayor Sam say in 1973? That this city is the envy of all the world? He couldn't have been talking about our Los Angeles!

Here we are. We're the second largest city in this great country of ours. Yet, we are so inept in so many different things. For one, our politicians are truly pathetic. Or maybe it's this city? We have allowed Los Angeles to become a second class city. We've got to stop this non-sense.

I think we must have a shortage of politicians. I think that's why we have politicians who play musical chairs, changing political seats every four years or when their term limits run out. That's got to be it. Why else would we allow this non-sense to go on? If I look at who is holding office today, it's basically the same people that were holding some other office ten or fifteen years ago. These are our career politicians. And you wonder why this city is in trouble? These people
don't have any ideas. They don't have any vision, and they certainly don't have a plan. This city needs new blood, and we need it now!

I have a plan. And it's a plan that has already been put into motion without the good people of Los Angeles even realizing it.

Our Chief of Police is an import. So is our Superintendent of Schools. And so was the previous Superintendent before him an import.

Why can't we import candidates for different offices from all over the country? Just think about the possibilities of having someone from another city govern this city of ours. Exciting? Can you name a few former mayors from other major cities who might do a pretty good job here in our Los Angeles?

What about importing city council members from other cities, too? Our gang sitting right now would definitely have to run a real campaign in order to get re-elected. How many of them have run uncontested campaigns or without much competition? That's got to stop!

We don't even have a two-party system here in this city. We don't even have a two-party system in our state. How come?

Changes are needed. New thinking is needed. We need to start importing new blood into our political process. The people sitting in office right now are inept, and that is putting it mildly.

While I applaud Messrs. Moore and Dogg for their attempt to win the mayor's office, what is really needed is a professional campaign with professional politicians who have a proven track record of success and a real fighting chance to win.

There are many across this country of ours, and we should start importing this talent now!

That's what STUPENDOUS is thinking. What is your thinking?

Adulterer, lying Mayor resigns

Too bad it's only in Detroit.

Let's try it in L.A. sometime soon.

(At least Kilpatrick managed to pass the Bar exam)
