    Maybe he didn't have enough training to handle the position? Maybe the old director can come back part time?

    That would be too bad. He seemed like a nice guy the couple times I talked to him...and while we don't have new playground equipment, I was very happy with the repairs made to the Center St. playground.

    Enough training? Didn't he just start? And how hard is it to make sure white lines are painted on the softball fields?

    I can't stop laughing......maybe that was their agenda all along...... He knows where all the ...........are hidden, THAT, is for sure!

    $30,000/year for working 19 hours/week is a pretty good gig!
    Appr. $70- $80,000 then with Current City pension and Social Security/year for ...........a REALLY good gig!

    Whatthefun.......! Will someone PLEASE be honest with what is going on in OUR orange crate?!
    Why do we always have to try and second guess their decisions regarding all OUR City business? It is pretty much all public info, but once again.......the fiefdom is ruling over the.............. Great idea LAsurvivor, Revolt at the polls, folks!

    Transparency.....rumorency, and a real lot of BS in between, at the expense of the innocent tax payers of LA who, again, foot the bill for their mismanagement of public funds!
