Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who doesn’t believe in walling off the Mexican border and who led LA City efforts against Arizona’s anti-illegal alien law, isn’t quite so forgiving when it comes to protecting his own property.
CBS Los Angeles has the details:
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has asked for approval for a six-foot-wall around the Getty House, the mayor’s official residence in Windsor Square, according to city documents.
But at least one planning official was “caught off guard” by Villaraigosa’s request for increased security around the taxpayer-owned property.
The mayor’s office filed its request on Feb. 2 for a variance to city bylaws with plans to erect a security wall around the property at 605 S. Irving Blvd.
Officials say the wall’s design includes “embedded” security features that will save taxpayer money by cutting costs for security staffing.
Initially, the mayor proposed an eight-and-a-half-foot wall, which was quickly rejected by the Windsor Square Association.
Villaraigosa has scaled down his plans, but the new proposal still exceeds the permitted 42-inch height.
Please note that Villaraigosa’s mansion is located at 605 South Irving Boulevard in Los Angeles. Let’s all meet there at noon and have a picnic lunch on his front yard.
Make sure you leave your trash when you leave. We’ll all go inside the mansion like we own it and use his bathroom or if it’s being used we’ll just use the bushes. If any of us get hurt, we’ll go inside the house and demand that he give us medical care. And if any of us are short of money, we’ll demand that he Villaraigosa cut us each a check.
Anyone know how to say hypocrite in Spanish?
