LOS ANGELES:A CUT BACK IN CITY SERVICES WAS INEVITABLE

AND THE BLAME FALLS RIGHT AT THE FEET OF MAYOR VEE:
Mayor Vee owned, bought and paid for by the special interest groups has spent the cities money on things that benefited his campign contributors instead of the city. Smart move on Mayor Vee's part. Screw the votes and take care of the people who really put you in office. And consequently the city now has to make big cuts in services.
The city really couldnt afford a new police headquarters and yet the city spent almost a billion dollars to build a new one. The police department will have to lay off officers to help pay for this building. The contractor who built it was a convicted felon. Convicted of stealing from the city while he worked on the subway.
But by far the biggest waste that will cost the city billions was giving the Real Estate developers carte blanche to the employee pension fund. They cant pay back their loans with the collapse in real estate so the general fund will make up the diffence. That is the same place that pays for city services.
These same construction contractors and developers who installed Mayor Vee are now backing Jerry Brown for governor of California. The kicked San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom out of the governors race. But how can there be a Democracy if good candidates like Gavin Newsom are forced out of the race?
Gerry Brown will now be the only candidate in the democratic primary who has name recognation. And that is unfair. So watch out for more prisons less money for education
Gavin Newsom are forced
