Is Villaraigosa About To Appoint Jack Weiss Deputy Mayor of Homeland Security at $200,000 a year?

This came into my email inbox. They seem to think this is true. The rumors have been out there, but this is a little more detail:

"Hidden in the new budget is for the Mayor to add the position of Deputy Mayor of Homeland Security, pays $200,000 year, is housed at LAX and paid for by Airport funds. The Mayor is appointing Jack Weiss to the position...it even gets better, the Airport is laying off 24 employees and filling the positions with the entire Jack Weiss City Hall staff.

[Insert outrage here.]
