The mayor is supposed to deliver the State of the City speech tomorrow- do bad he's never been able to deliver on helping the residents and businesses over the past 5 years.
Without recapping what's going on now, as most checking here may know all too well, how about going back for a full year to the 2009 State of the City address and reviewing the things that Tony said and see what's been done in the past year and what he said about how the city should act for it's own financial soundness.

You might check the way the speech was reported after you check what Tony said (to let you know that all these things now happening in the city were known about back then, a year ago).
SECOND:
You could read this next part, even without checking the words Villaraigosa spoke, and still see we are not being represented well at any level in the city government.

I am just not very hopeful about the city's future as far as the so-called leadership, a leadership that's been asleep at the wheel for years. Is it able to fix anything now? The only thing Tony is trying to improve now is his own image.
