he squeezes small business persons, wielding the enforcement power of his cronies at building and safety, the city attorney’s office, water and power, parking enforcement, and yes, the police department. thinks he’ll be the mayor one day, supports his thieving fellow council members, as they support him. there should be a federal investigation into all of them, la bonge probably the worst. if you want to do anything people, call eric holder in washington dc and tell him we also have a mafia in los angeles – it’s called the city council.

In this fight, the people are the most affected.

“Corrupt inclinations” no kidding! Also he appears to be under the influence at times….
flushed skin, anxious, ok to be honest sometimes he seems to be drunk! I saw him at some event dancing with anyone he could grab including several who did not seem to want to be there. He has the beady dead shark eyes of a sociopath upon closer observation. I am glad someone is putting this info out there, he looks ready to pounce, and now I see that DOES pounce, how dare him grab some woman’s arm.

First we take Griffith Observatory, then we take Berlin. If you try to get in our way, I’ll break your arm too. I don’t care how many cancer kids I have to use along the way.

I hope that the employee who had her arm grabbed by the councilman realizes that he committed battery against her. Touching an employee is a huge “no-no” and she probably has grounds to sue him and the city. At the very least she should talk to her union rep and file a complaint.

The sad thing is that LaBonge abuses his power by using city resources so frivolously.

LaBonge does this all the time according to a friend who used to work G.O. I understand that this most recent incident happened in full view of the public and staff. And the Observatory has cameras all over. I wonder if security reviewed those? It’d be ashame if that ended up on YouTube or in the L.A. Times’ hands…
