Mayor Sam's blog on Teacher Layoffs and Monday Hotsheet

If you haven't visited Mayor Sam's Sister City blog (about L.A. politics and sitting to the left in the sidebar here with a link), there's the TEACHER LAYOFF thread commentary, "Public Utility of a Pink Slip," that I thought was off base and you might read a reply that sounds like me in there. http://mayorsam.blogspot.com/

The Monday Hot Sheet has several things today:

Zuma Dogg got Monica Garcia disregarding the civic responsibility to mind a couple of laws. If the video camera battery did not die at that moment, the clip would have been great. It's still good to show that your elected officials, MONICA GARCIA here, unfortunately, ignore simple requirements of the law.

There's comment on the expense that DWP racks up with the Free CFL light bulb program- And you read my views here weeks ago with some of the same thoughts- not that I am that smart it's just that the better way was too obvious. DWP is an easy target because it has so much that is wrong from the appointed bosses to the programs they run.

"Mayor Sam's" is a good place to hear about what's wrong in local political activities and you can read comments from the critics who only say their political bosses are doing well for the people but continue to make attacks on everyone else, and still manage not to have any solutions to discuss. There's a lot to consider and sorting through the city officials' slant is part of it. That negativity is not the style you see here- I do suggest some solutions and consider that personal attacks are not way to win a rationale argument or persuade anyone of much besides only having bad manners.
