The Mayor always aims to please- unfortunately it has very little to do with making the city better for the people. The paragraph below, from that story, captures the incongruity of the situation that continues to be the trademark of the Villaraigosa administration.
Only one year into his second 4-year term as mayor of Los Angeles and Tony V. has not lost one bit of his penchant for showing his lack of concern for the regular people of Los Angeles. Tony's actions continue to contradict what the situation calls for. I suppose we should all be used to that by now. Tony simply cannot resist the opportunity to mix it up with monied interests and the Hollywood (or wherever they are making movies these days) celebrities. It's like his entire being is all about validating his self-image of grandeur. The idea he's apparently following is, "Look at me. I am important and I have to hang around with other important people to prove that to you."Now comes word that Mayor V., ever the man with his priorities straight (witness December's trek to Europe or this month's cameo on All My Children), will be hosting a pre-Oscar party at the city-funded mayor's residence Thursday night. Because, when the city's on it's last dime and you can't find a cop when you need one, what it really needs is a red-carpet event celebrating the ultra-rich of Hollywood.
And some people wonder how things can get any worse in management of the city. Stand by for more bad news from all the regular elected sources of ineptitude.
