Does this man have ANY clue about running a city? He has done nothing to make it attractive for businesses to start or move to LA. He (and the stupid City Council which is just as clueless) approves wage requirements that make it more expensive to operate within the city. And now he is going to take one of the few remaining advantages of the City (enough, relatively clean power) and again make it more expensive for citizens to live here and businesses to operate.
Hey, Tony! Why is it OK to spend City $$$ on the Jackson memorial services and not on a Laker parade? Last time I noticed, the Lakers are responsible for tax generation. Can't say the same for Jackson!
The citizens/taxpayers FIRST! The freeloaders second!
