Mayor Sam's Hotsheet for Friday

Another blogger comes to the realiziation about how LA works. While illegal alien gang violence is destroying the City goofy Jan Perry wants to ban fast food.  It's an old story but it's still sadly true.



If you want to hear Warren Olney getting a TKO on Mayor Villaraigosa, you can listen to the KCRW podcast here.  Warren Olney - who can't be demonized as a right wing hate monger like you folks do to Doug McIntryre - called the Mayor on the carpet for being frequently out of town (15 days out of 30) and lack of progress during his term.



The Hollywood Walk of Fame is being rapidly damaged and creating safety issues.  The MTA claims it's because of the sun but the sun beat for 40 years on those tiles prior to the construction of the Metro Red Line.  Due to shoddy construction repair work has continually had to done on the sidewalk and other areas along the subway in Hollywood.  And you people want to give this incompetent agency MORE of your money?



Speaking of the Red Line I can tell you that at least of our local elected officials takes public transit and does it without cameras, reporters, aids and sycophants in tow (unlike someone else we know). Thursday evening I was on my way back from Hollywood and Highland and ran into Los Angeles City Council Member Wendy Greuel (the chairperson of the Transportaton Commitee too) and her son and husband, coming home from the Hollywood Bowl.  The Council Member - who recognized me in the station - and I had a nice talk about her transit habits, how her staff addresses Neighborhood Councils and her son's Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtle action figures.  The Council Member tries to take transit as often as possible, at least one to two times a week.  Kudos to her!



I'll be appearing on John Phillips' Saturday evening radio show on KABC Radio.  John airs every Saturday night from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.; if you haven't heard him yet definitely tune him in.  Depending on what time the Dodgers game ends, I'll be either on the internet only or radio and internet.  Click here to listen.  Later in the evening Phillips will have a tribute to legendary LA Lakers play by play man, Chick Hearn featuring luminaries from both the sports and broadcasting world.
