DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - A note to Mayor Garcetti/Hertzberg/Caruso/Perry/Chick/LaBonge/Wesson/Nuñez/Alarcon (hah! That last one made me laugh as I wrote it) or whoever else envisions him or herself as having a chance to take the oath of office on July 1, 2013: You may want to rethink the idea of allowing other newly elected officials to approach the speaker’s podium on the day you ascend to power. It certainly seems like a magnanimous gesture, but you may get more than you bargained for.

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - One year after creating strict new environmental standards for large development projects, city officials are raising the bar again.

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - At the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument, an unsettling and long-preventable situation is hitting the already cash-strapped city of Los Angeles in the pocketbook. Now it is time for elected officials, led by 14th District Councilman José Huizar and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (who formerly held Huizar’s Council seat), to step forward and, once and for all, effect change.

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - Rocky Delgadillo last week finished his term as the Los Angeles City Attorney. His eight years will be remembered as tumultuous. Shortcomings will be noted, though critics should also recognize that he was part of several important efforts that have made the city, including Downtown, a better place. We hope that new City Attorney Carmen Trutanich, a man with significant potential and an outsider’s opportunity to unleash a fresh point of view, can follow up on the highlights of Delgadillo’s term.

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - This week, Antonio Villaraigosa will begin his second and final term as the mayor of Los Angeles. We hope that in the next four years he will focus squarely on the needs of the city and achieve the potential he missed, to much frustration, time and again during his first term.

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - Actor John O’Hurley is a veritable jack-of-all-trades. Perhaps best known as the wry and quirky catalogue tycoon J. Peterman on “Seinfeld” or as the winner of the first season of “Dancing With the Stars,” O’Hurley has credits in television (including hosting “Family Feud”), film and on Broadway. He’s also a musician, author and businessman.
