Here's a comment I posted on Mayor Sam's blog that I may as well post here, too:
Zuma said...Does anyone know the address for "Meetings Anonymous?" I haven't missed an LA City Council meeting quorum in over three months, but I want to miss one. I thought I was gonna miss one on Friday, but somehow I ended up at Van Nuys. Plus the committee meetings and planning meetings in the evening, in between and all I wanna do is drive to Santa Barbara and stay there for a week.
All I can say to people who do not believe in "non-material energy"/karma/quantum physics and all of that...it does seem that ZD has stepped into some weird "energy pattern" and it's kinda dragging me all over the place.
Every day is gonna be the day I do some other things...but I don't know how I keep ending up in Council chambers one more time.
It doesn't help either, when I drive to Agoura Hills on a Friday night for karaoke to escape the LA City TV 35 "fame zone" -- and as soon as I step out of my car and walk to the restaurant, two guys from Agoura Hills (not in LA City TV 35 viewing area) immediately flag me over to tell me a bunch of shady stuff about the City of LA (because they both do work for the City.)
ALL NEW MATERIAL...stuff about the airport and construction (how airport construction contracts not only went to cronies...but inexperienced cronies who were WAAAAAAAAAAAY out of their league on an airport project. (It was about a half hour conversation in the parking lot.) AND NO...I WAS NOT EVEN WEARING MY ZD knit cap and sunglasses. So it wasn't like I was walking around in a ZD shirt with the full garb. (I KNOW THAT'S WHAT CM ZINE WOULD SAY! HE REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE THAT I AM FAMOUS AS HELL IN LA COUNTY!)
Anyway, I don't know what happens to burnt toast when you still keep it in the toaster, but I'm afraid I am about to find out.
AND I SURE WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE SHOWING UP TO THE COUNCIL MEETINGS WHEN ZD WAS OUT OF TOWN START SHOWING UP AGAIN.
THERE IS ONE REASON CITY COUNCIL AND VIAGRAOSA KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS STUFF -- AND WHY Y-O-U (NOT ZD) KEEPS GETTING HIT WITH ALL OF THESE NEW FEE UP-DATES AND NEW TAXES:
The Mayor and City Council goes un-opposed.
I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE PEOPLE WHO APPRECIATE ZD FOR SHOWING UP ON A REGULAR BASIS BECAUSE THEY CANNOT...
BUT IT WOULD BE NICE IF SOME OF THESE PEOPLE SHOWED UP ONCE IN A WHILE. If EVERYONE showed up, once in a while, it would make an impact.
A lot of new ZD updates Including problems at DWP as more people are not paying their utility bill; Echo Park school construction shut down (due to shady EIR); half cent MTA sales tax close to making it on ballot; another school bond; and more and more we are finding -- THE MONEY APPROVED FOR ONE THING IS ENDING UP GOING FOR SOMETHING ELSE!
NO ON ALL NEW $$$ ON THE BALLOT.
