Mayor Villaraigosa makes announcement on Lakers home game. Can he be more idiotic?

It just keeps getting better with Tony as he makes an announcement today that is being played on the radio news. He is making an annoucement to try to help the police side of things and keep people out of the area if they don't have tickets.

He says that you should stay home if you don't have a ticket and spend time with your family and save money and gas, blah, blah, blah. And where will HE be?

Well, he doesn't care- He's not exactly your best role model for much and most people are getting to see that as time goes on. He gets free courtside tickets he was not declaring and still doesn't as far as I know. at 3 to 4 grand apiece, there's a value for each pair that creates some tax impact for him but maybe that's not declared either. Some estimates at the value of free tickets he's been getting are around $400,000.00.

But to go on, his radio announcement is particularly idiotic since he's not telling you anything useful, helpful or even trustworthy. He gets free tickets, the city pays for his vehicle, his gas, his drivers, his police bodyguard detail, and who charges him parking? and you already know he's in the process of getting a divorce so there's the family aspect.

All more of what's so irrelevant with this guy. He is so bad that I can only see Eric Garcetti as a worse mayor with all his personal ambitions that will cost everyone but Garcetti should he get into office and work on more social engineering.

Well, good luck Lakers and if you notice the mayor there, he's supposed to be on "official city business" according to his view of things. According to Tony- "if you have an official purpose, it's not a gift, no, it's not a 'reportable gift'."

Spending more time at city hall and less at glitzy affairs would probably be too much of a culture shock for him. Anyway, it looks like the city's being affected more by Austin Beutner whose in charge of, what? 15 different departments now? He probably does know more about management of things than the Mayor does, but it's from his experience as a profit-motive entrepenuer. Is that good for the city? I don't think it is.
