It has taken 19 years to grow the current mess at LA City Hall. It was created by a succession of three Mayors, with the active cooperation of the Personnel Department and at least one crooked Councilman. Acting without legal authority and without a vote of the electorate, that power-grabbing gang trampled the City Charter, degraded the Board of Civil Service Commissioners, usurped the Board's powers, and made individual department heads more powerful, but less accountable to the public. Now, the City's shameful secret has been exposed. The corruption must end. Moreover, some City Watchers agree that the next Mayor of Los Angeles will be expected to restore the Board of Civil Service Commissioners—to clean up the mess the departing gang leaves behind. However, other Watchers are not convinced any of the declared Mayoral candidates they have heard about can be expected to put the public interest ahead of their own. Well, according to a local newspaper, there are now only four declared candidates for the Mayor's office: Wendy Greuel, Eric Garcetti, Jan Perry and Kevin James. Nevertheless, that paper forgot to mention that YJ Draiman also wants to be Mayor of Los Angeles.
Los Angeles must change its dysfunctional leadership! The current leadership had its chance it failed. The “Vote Organization” sponsored by YJ Draiman intends to gather the masses of the population, the people who are being ignored and apathetic. These people outnumber the Special interests groups and their puppets by at least 8-2. In gathering all the masses to vote as a cohesive force by sheer numbers alone, we can retake our government and place candidates whose allegiance is to the people as a whole. We can place candidates who care about the people, our cities, states and country. YJ Draiman http://www.yjdraiman2013.com/
