virtue signaling by useless politicians….but no attempt to fix the crime…LA has lost its glamour. Shilling more sex and drugs it the last thing the boulevard of broken dreams needs….I feel bad for the kids who live in this hell hole.
My crystal ball says:
1- yes
2- yes
3- yes
4- yes
5- oh hell……yes to everything. Prove me wrong.
What is included in AGENDA ITEM: 4.B? The additional $6,305,767.00 needed to complete/“close-out” Weho Park. This sum is huge and atrocious. This sum needs a full accounting and should not be authorized without such. Also what is the current final tally on the park expenditure ? Someone needs to be accountable here.
Why $10,000.00 for the TransVagina Monologues? I was told that John Erickson ended up donating thousands of dollars of leftover West Hollywood money to Planned Parenthood from a NOW production of the Vagina Monologues.
How much West Hollywood City money does Erickson plan to “donate” to Planned Parenthood (his employer) this year?
It clearly does not take $10,000.00 to put on this event. Never did.
John Erickson could have a monologue with himself which would require $0. SpeaKing with one’s vagina is one of the most absurd scams perpetrated by socially unhinged people for attention.
Everything but CRIME, filthy diseased, rat-infested homeless camps all over the city, and, oh, just the basic responsibilities of adults in leadership positions of a city.
Please mail in and speak during Public Comment and be on the public record.
Yes!
Please, point out ONE of these “camps.” Just ONE.
There was a problem near Poinsettia Park, which is in the City of LA, and that was resolved.
Tell us where these camps are?
I have previously lived in cities with homeless “camps,” but in the last year that I have lived in West Hollywood, I haven’t see a single one.
Sorry Randy and Zackary you must not have noticed that this is supposed to be breitbart lite. No reality, just stories of crime and how bad weho has become from keyboard warriors. anyways dont forget to vote for more cops because thats the only solution for visible human suffering!
This is a monstrous and horrifyingly high amount. An expenditure of this size should not be approved without first receiving a detailed accounting of where the dordle money has gone. How much money has been spent on the park altogether as of this moment? There has to be someone taking responsibility.
