"How Much Will Eric Garcetti Cost LA For THIS?" by Daniel Guss
Garza settlement may be approved today as LA Times dutifully strives to rehabilitate LA's worst mayor ever.
@TheGussReport on Twitter - While the LA Times dutifully tries to paint troubled former LA Mayor Eric Garcetti as experiencing a “diplomatic reincarnation,” it hilariously implies that he may still have a shot at higher office after he is done being Joe Biden’s flunky Ambassador to India.
But today Los Angeles might find out how expensive it will be to settle a lawsuit about his deceptive behavior and his willfully ignoring sexual harassment that took place right under his nose in the Matthew Garza sexual harassment case involving Garcetti buddy and advisor Rick Jacobs.
At today’s LA City Council meeting, a status update will be addressed in closed session to potentially bring this matter to a close, at costly taxpayer expense.
Garza’s experience was hardly the only such instance, as demonstrated in this infamous photo of Jacobs sexually harassing others in front of a grinning Garcetti.
UPDATE AT 10:15AM: LA City Council approves up to $1.8mm to settle the Garza case by a vote of 13-0.
Stay tuned as LA City Hall’s undeniable legacy of harassment, corruption and cover-up continues.
