Los Angeles has new elitist Jewish mayor

  Troy York

I can't understand how such a minority city as Los Angeles keeps getting white corporate mayors in its history. In a historic low turnout labor got a major defeat as Eric Garcetti was elected mayor. Los Angeles has many problems and having another pension cutter who will be backed by the libertarians is not what they need.  The streets of this car sprawled costly city are deteriorating, the fire department is getting cut, and trees and grass being left untrimmed. The only thing that prevented LA from turning to Detroit is the Hollywood industry and the weather. Some people from the region consider their city as a Detroit. I compare it to Mexico city a city of tremendous third world inequality left unchecked. This is another working urban center where the working class have absolutely no voice and we see the consequences of this lack of political power in the past theirty years. Part of the problem are leaders like Eric Garcetti who get elected with twenty percent of the vote in an election that brings in record numbers of contributionsthat are usually outside the region. This guy is going to be another scum sucking mayor for the downtrodden and the people who need government to work and help them the most. This guy is all about himself and the wealthy class that is running LA to the ground just to prop up their areas in an unsustainable pathway.
