what is the usual motto we've heard basically most of our adult n prob kid lives when it comes to electing more mouthpieces ... they say what you wanna hear but in the end .. taxes .. but theyll swear they did all they could.. who pays for all that printed material sent out for the vote by mail .. all 700,000 pieces of mail or so need 5 or six inserts and they print those inserts in bulk .. gotta hire the crew .. yet no money for anything else .. guess we know the partys gotta go on even if nobodys watching.

These candidates are all phonies who'll only value u when they need your vote. This is why voter turnout is always low.

But but... Jon, the radio commercial tells me that Garcetti's parents took him to Tommy's when he was a kid! He's a real L.A. guy! Ergo he is the the best man for the job!!!!! I mean come on. Growing on on excellent chili burgers ALWAYS means that a guy who worked under a bad mayor will be a GREAT mayor! It has to! It's soo very L.A.!!!!!! ...oh wait.

Amii, I didn't say that. People like Perry, Gruel and Garcetti are part of the problem because of the potholes not getting fixed, unfriendly business climate and parking nonsense. Oh, and L.A. is close to being bankrupt. We need an outsider, and Kevin James is L.A.'s real only hope.

Dorion Jones....so wait...they shouldn't fix the potholes? and more folks should just get injured instead? falling into them???

Dorian Jones

If I lived in L.A....Kevin James. Because everyone else who is well known is a part of the machine of more potholes, and more expensive parking tickets. Not to mention ridiculous parking meter increases and non business friendly climate which is why more micro breweries are opening in places like Torrance.
