Two Deep Thoughts
- More on Glendale's affinity for former Massachusetts Governor and presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who is Mormon -- a friend who grew up here told me the city apparently has a large population belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Could they be the ones funneling contributions to Romney?
- Could next Wednesday's Glendale City Council meeting promise the return of former Councilman Rafi Manoukian? When Manoukian lost re-election, he also lost his seat as one of the city's three representatives on the nine-member Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority governing Bob Hope Airport. The council can choose to reappoint him to serve until May 2009, which wouldn't be a bad deal since he does have the experience, though council members Dave Weaver and Frank Quintero may also want in (Bob Yousefian already serves on the panel with Lt. Carl Povilaitis from Glendale Police and Ara Najarian is going to be pretty busy as mayor; John Drayman is a freshman...). Watch out!
Note the meeting is scheduled Wednesday April 25, since April 24 is Armenian Genocide remembrance day.
