I WOULD ASK THE ARTIST, SANDOW BIRK, FOR A REFUND OF THE $195,000.00 THE ARTIST GOT PAID TO HAVE THE NEW FOOLISH MURAL PAINTED BY THE HOLLENBECK STATION. TALK ABOUT A MISUSE OF CITY FUNDS! $195,000.00!! ON AVERAGE 4-6 CITY EMPLOYEES WILL NOW LOSE THEIR JOBS AND GET LAID OFF NOW- BECUASE THIS "QUAINT SUNDAY AFTERNOON" MURAL WAS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT TO PAINT? WHO THE HECK AUTHORIZED THIS? WHEN THE CITY HAS A CRISIS- STUPIDITY SETS IN- WHEN THOSE WE TRUST TO GUIDE US - FAIL BECAUSE THEY JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. WHOMEVER AUTHORIZED THIS - SHOULD TURN IN THEIR RESIGNATION IMMEDIATELY!! THE L.A. TIMES ARTICLE TODAY CERTAINLY STRUCK A NERVE WITH ME. THE MURAL SHOWS A MAN BEING ARRESTED, ILLEGAL STREET VENDORS, UNLEASHED DOGS- HOMELESS PEOPLE - THAT'S A GREAT WAY TO SHOW A QUAINT SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD? THAT IS JUST WRONG- WAY WRONG. AREN'T WE SENDING THE WRONG MESSAGE- COULD IT BE INTERPRETED - THIS IS ACCEPTABLE HERE??!@? GET WITH THE PROGRAM FOLKS- THE CITIES FINANCIAL ADVISORS - NEED TO REALLY LOOK AT WHERE MONEY IS BEING SPENT- AND MAKE APPROPRIATE CUTS - THEN TO SACRAFICE THE CAREERS OF THOSE THAT HAVE DEDICATED THEIR LIVES TO WORK FOR THIS GREAT CITY. THIS MURAL IS SIMPLY - JUST UNACCEPTABLE -
1. Shut down the Community Redevelopment Agency.
That's $680 million per year right there. The agency simply gives out "welfare for the rich:" subsidies for developers and other cronies.
2. Cut the Mayor's $200,000 per year travel budget.
He should spend some time here for a change.
3. Close down the $500,000 per year calligraphy department.
Replace it with a $79 color printer from Office Depot.
4. For a list of other cuts, visit my website and click on the picture of the big pile of money burning.
