It Appears CM Tom LaBong Had A Secert Meeting About Griffith Park Before His Trip To Germany and France (What the hell was he doing THERE!?!?!)

NOTE: When I heard that LA Councilbully Tom "The Bong" LaBong was in Germany and France, I THOUGHT IT WAS ON HIS OWN PERSONAL TIME/VACATION!!! But, it was as a Councilmember doing City business, allegedly. (The trip isn't alleged...only the idea that he was doing City business.)

Fresh back from his world tour of Germany and France (because as an LA City Councilmember, that is where your answers lie, I mean lye) -- it appears as though Tom "The Bong" LaBong was able to squeeze at least one (secret) meeting in regarding Griffith Park.


Unfortunately for Tom's reputation and credibility -- it was kinda the reverse of everything he has been promising his voters, so far. So WOW...Zuma Dogg is shocked! That bully-dummy, Tom LaBong is lacking in ethics and integrity??? What's next, WWE isn't real? Welcome back from France Tom! I hope you enjoyed your $60,000 "Cheesefeast" before you left. The only thing worse than having you away from the meetings is having you back. Someone try and explain the agenda items to Tom in a "High School football context". Tell him the agenda is a high school football play book and maybe he'll read, for once.

HERE'S THE ORIGINAL POST FROM MAYOR SAM'S BLOG, IN IT'S ENTIRETY AS A TRIBUTE TO COUNCILMEMBER TOM THE BONG: (Don't worry Bong, they say any publicity is good publicity!)

LeBong in Secret Meeting: "Oppose Griffith Park Historic Designation!"

Posted by PetraFried in the City

The Autocrat of Griffith Park is at it again. Recently calling all General Managers in this City to a secret meeting at his office, LeBong then ordered all their respective departments to oppose the Historic Designation application for Griffith Park.

The Historic Designation application was filed by the Griffith Trust, a family foundation run by Van Griffith, the great-grandson of the man who created Griffith Park and donated the land to the City, Griffith J. Griffith. The application is in direct response to the continued carving up of the park by LeBong for development by his personal friends and donors, and to the violence which he sometimes responds with when questioned by his constituents.

While away in Germany ostensibly on City business yet again, through his sock puppet proxy, Rory Calhoun, LeBong told all the GMs that the application was filed because the community has no confidence in the Department of Rec and Parks. The reality is that the public is completely fed up with LeBong continually concocting schemes for handing over chunks of the park to his buddies, big money donors like the Autry and prominent members of the Korean business community, to name just a few.

Actions by LeBong make it pretty clear that the Clowncilman thinks Griffith Park is his personal backyard. He completely rewrote the version of the Griffith Park Master plan that the community opposes so strongly in the image of Disneyland, complete with a pleasure pier, two funiculars (cable cars) -- one from the Observatory to Mt. Hollywood and one from Mineral Wells to the top of Toyon Landfill -- multilevel parking structures, and new baseball fields on top of the landfill when current closure plans for the landfill call for its restoration to natural habitat.
