Love For Sale

Antonio Vee (El Luv Machine) the mayor of Los Angeles is expected to win relection easily. And he should. After all besides not only selling his ass to the real estate developers he also gave them the keys to the cities treasury as a little extra present for picking him to be mayor. Antonio Vee's only real challenger Rick Carosu was made an offer he couldnt refuse by the real estate developers to drop out of the race. A race he could have easily won.
The situation is not very encouraging for the financial health of the city of Los Angles. The city is running big defictis now than can only be closed by cutting services and raising aaxes. Like Detroit the real estate developers raided the cities treasury and used the money to go into businesses with the city taking the risk and the developers getting the profits. This money was never meant to be used in this matter. Its supposed to be invested conservately in fiancial instruments that provide a safe steady return. But like the mafia who used their influence to get at Teamster pension money the real estate developers did the same in getting into Los Angeles treasury. However there is one big difference. The mob paid back the money they borrowed from the teamster pension plan. The real estate developers are highly unlikely to pay back any of the money they stole form the city with the help of Mayor Antinio vee (the love machine) And at time when the city is raising parking ticket fines and handing out traffic tikets like massage coupons the developer of the Grand Ave Project downtown Related Cos. after getting the land for free isnt paying the 250,000 a day in fines its is supposed to be paying for not starting the project on time. And they owes quite a bundle to the city. This is at a time when the city could really use the money. If Antonio Vee the love machine gets reelected Related Cos. proabily will never pay. Is that really the kind of mayor Los Angeles needs? Detroit always thought so and look what happened to that city. Do you really want Los Angeles to become another Detroit? If you dont care then go ahead and vote for Antonio Vee. But if u do care find someone else to vote for.
