Is Eric Garcetti Putting Los Angeles At The Forefront Of The Battle To Tackle Climate Change?
Eric Garcetti isn't running for president next year. Whew! I'm totally relieved. I like Eric and I've known him for a long time. He's the guy who showed me how to use a credit card in a parking meter. But I didn't think running for president was a good idea. He hasn't created a compelling enough record as mayor of Los Angeles to run on. And, it appeared to be that he has been veering further and further towards the middle of the road ever since he started seriously working on running. I didn't like it.
