Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Benny Forer emails his list: As usual, and by popular demand, here is my voter guide. Usual disclaimer: I am not affiliated with any candidates; I am only sending this out as a service. If you want to be removed from the list, please email me and ask kindly. I take no offense if you disagree with me or my position. Lastly, if you would like an in depth reason from a particular recommendation, please email me.
Mayor: Kevin James
(he is truly the best candidate under the current culture and financial situation in LA City. Another important aspect, while the other candidates bicker about their positions and the best way to get out of the current financial mess, no one is admitted that they were the cause of the mess. Other than James, all the candidates have been part of our government for a long time and have implemented the very policies that caused LA’s problems).
City Attorney: Greg Smith
(ABC = Anyone But Trutanich. Clearly, Trutanich has been a colossal disaster and is coming off a spectacular failed run at being DA. He is unworthy of any office. Trutanich has only one endorsement – Jerry Brown’s. He has it because they traded favors. Trutanich didn’t oppose “realignment” (a scheme to put more criminals back on the street) for Brown’s endorsement. Other than that Trutanich is toxic. Mike Feuer is the other candidate. He is a career politician who happened to go to law school. He has never tried a single case. That’s really important when, as City Attorney, one of your major functions is to defend the city against lawsuits. A unskilled city attorney will cost a city hundreds of millions of dollars).
Controller: Dennis Zine
Propositions: NO.
(I haven’t seen any deserving a yes vote)
Other: I have no recommendations on local elections–local councilmen, etc.
