To the editor: The actual problem with Los Angeles Metropolis Controller Kenneth Mejia receiving referral charges for bringing in new tenants who labored in his workplace isn’t whether or not he violated moral guidelines. Fairly, it’s the entire sense that, regardless of the character of his marketing campaign, he actually doesn’t get it.
I voted for him as a result of I assumed he did get it. And I feel everyone knows what “it” means.
In any occasion, he would possibly get previous this unhealthy publicity speed-bump by promptly donating $1,000 to a professional renters’ group that helps individuals who can’t afford to have the posh of the condo he lives in.
Given Mejia’s $252,042 wage, I’m positive he can afford a $1,000 donation and possibly extra. Only a thought.

To the editor: In final fall’s controller race, the apparent alternative was then-L.A. Metropolis Councilman Paul Koretz, an efficient public servant.
To my shock, The Occasions’ editorial board endorsed the inexperienced Mejia, who had beforehand known as Joe Biden a “rapist” and prompt Hillary Clinton ought to be imprisoned. The voters overwhelmingly chosen Mejia.
Mejia has shortly gotten himself in bother. He allegedly commented on his marketing campaign staff’ intercourse lives, pressured staffers to maneuver into his condo constructing and obtained charges for referring his staff to that constructing.
The controller is meant to maintain tabs on the town, however it seems to be like the town might want to maintain tabs on its controller.
