The original post was Jim Hahn, right? Or, was it his sister?

The city functions and many work 12-14 hour days 6 days a week. Unfortunately, I see an uneven balance of leadership and employee skill or willingness to put in their full energy into a workday. If you want to see how a good city department operates, check out the Bureau of Street Services (BSS). These people are on top of their game. Yes, the streets, sidewalks and trees are not perfect, but sit them down and they will give you straight answers with truth and reality behind them. You don't have to wonder if they are bullshitting you and you're glad they actually gave you a response in a timely manner. City employees and elected officials need to look up to Bill Robertson, the Director of BSS, and use his system of constituent relations citywide. "If my employees don't call or e-mail you back, then you call me and I'll take care of it."

I'm amazed the city can function at all. From what I've heard, city employees can barely manage an hour of work a day. The best way to improve the city would be to make all city employees actually live in the city of Los Angeles.

do you ever go up into City Hall where they have all the portraits of the mayors?
