  19. How come when someone told me they suspect Tony C hired someone to shoot into someone's house through window over a dispute, I BELIEVE THEM?
  20. ERIC GARCETTI has a really SHARP looking hair-cut today. Never looked better. City of L.A. never been worse. At least appearances are nice!
  21. JANICE HAHN speaks as though she has ANYTHING unique or insightful to add. JANICE, if you said NOTHING, NOTHING WOULD BE ANY DIFFERENT, Nut!
  22. SEEMS KINDA UNSAFE?: I don't know; transferring workers (librarians, etc) to trim trees around DWP electric wires seems kinda risky/unsafe.
  23. A FIRST FOR ZUMA DOGG: Matt stopped by to pick me up for council meeting and I just stayed home. ZD NEVER TURNED DOWN RIDE TO MEETING, EVER!
  24. As long as I'm an unpaid volunteer when I do something; much rather listen to music at home & go to beach than downtown for council meeting.

  30. A Conversation with L.A. (FAILURE) Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (A Comedy Transcript From Los Angeles Times) http://ow.ly/16Auut
  31. When mayor says, "if we don't move quickly to identify new revenue options," he doesn't mean adding PayPal to city website. TAX & FEE HIKES!
  32. MEDIA IS PROBLEM?: I'm not here to point fingers, notwithstanding the fact that you guys love the battle between the mayor and council." -AV
  33. VILLARAIGOSA FINALLY COMING OUT OF DENIAL: "The fact is I've contributed -- I'm part of the problem." (On massive budget deficit he grew.)
  34. RT @latimes: Mayor Villaraigosa talks L.A. budget woes, layoffs, public safety with Times editors and reporters http://bit.ly/ckD4gN
