Lit. , the Los Angeles City Council  The Los Angeles City Council is the governing body of the City of Los Angeles, California, United States. plans to vote next week on various resolutions condemning war in Iraq. What an absurd waste of time! While council members may be genuine in their beliefs - and they certainly are entitled to express their individual opinions - those beliefs have no bearing on their duties and responsibilities to the people of L.A. Rather than pontificating about matters over which it has no control, the City Council would be better off focusing on the areas where it could actually make a difference. For starters: What's City Hall doing to protect L.A. residents from a chemical or biological terrorist attack? Save for a few activists, few Angelenos want to watch their City Council members posture. We'd rather see them do the work they're being paid to do. |
