Re “Beutner Will Speak to West L.A. College Grads”
Austin Beutner should never be elected Mayor of Los Angeles.
His short but useless term as the figurehead Mayor while Tony (Villaraigosa) was gallivanting around the country, proved to have no effect at all.
The various departments he oversaw continued to operate inefficiently, and in some cases illegally, as we are now finding out.
Electing Austin the next Mayor is tantamount to two more terms of what we have now:
A city run by developers, filled with waste, fraud and mismanagement, and a continuing slide into Chapter 9 bankruptcy.
