Los Angeles Daily News City Hall reporter Rick Orlov writes about politics on the local, state and national stage.
As our local problems increase the mayor continues his trips presumably to get federal financial assistance for various pet projects. Perhaps the mayor should be introduced to conference calls, but wait, then he could not lay the groundwork for his future appointment to some gravy public service job. Well, at least Garcetti fills in and even gives an interview translation in spanish...without the many ers and uhs.
