Oh, say, did, you sea Leo PUStilnikov and Elliot Lewis just shove Dr. Ginsburg all the way off of his tilting, floating Worst Person trophy pedestal?
Mr. P, a resident of Marina del Rey, and the greedy public mouth of his consortium of 12 friend- and family-owned LLCs who bought the AES power plant and property, just kicked out the local, non-profit Waterfront Education Foundation, which teaches kids and families about marine life and systems, from the old SEA Lab site, from which he had already evicted the SEA Lab aquarium and white bass restocking facility in the previous year.
Elliot Lewis, the non-local wanna-be Kannabis Monopoly King, the Putin of Pot, gets the site for his, and the old RB Chamber cronies’, campaign to oust RB D4 CM Zein Obagi from office, so he can expand his chain of retail cannabis stores, so the former RB Chamber cronies can try to regain the majority on the RB City Council, and so Pustil nikov can get their help turning the public park zoned AES property into a dense housing development. It’s a growing mob!
That sound you’re hearing is old, disempowered RB Chamberites, jonesing for their formerly City-subsidized booze-ups, smoothing the wrinkles off of the long-dead Heart of the City proposal to put dense housing on the AES site, which was rejected by voters. That other sound you’re hearing are the almost-as-old CenterCal shopping mall developers, and Westport Capital, CenterCal’s financiers, who still wanna put a shopping center IN the harbor, welcoming Leo, Elliot (and Dr. Ginsburg, too, no doubt) to the money- and power-grab party. My, what a big, money-grubbing bed they’re all in together! So cozy.
PUStil nikov previously broke a promise to give the City part of the AES parcel for a public park. If you can’t see more broken promises in PustiNIKOV’s future here in RB, you may be hanging out in a weak, old, crumbling power plant desperately making deals in the dark to benefit weak, old, crumbling, powerless politicians who couldn’t get elected to rat-catcher. Or you might just be a really poor judge of character.
The new, shared trophy is a dirty, rolled-up Ukranian hrvynia (paper money), a glowing ember atop, mounted on a soft, child-sized, grasping hand, from which fall a chain of broken promises held tightly by tiny, shriveled-up, former local public leaders, smelling slightly of wodka.
The metro train or whatever it's called. I live half a block east of the railroad tracks that run between Firmona and Condon. At a previous meeting I asked about running the commuter train through there. A freight train goes through once a day as it is. I said you could buy an easement from the RR company. The fellow told me that the commuter entity owns the RR and the freight train pays them for use. My answer was why go through eminent domain actions which would be a full employment act for the lawyers not to mention the havoc of tearing up Hawthorne Blvd. I was nearly stoned at the meeting but got out alive. Still think it's a better use of taxpayer money to run it down the current RR route. Thanks for keeping us posted. I won't be able to make the meeting on the 11th but hope you can keep us informed.
Lol, now I get it and TB is definitely a top contender for this award. I was initially confused about the initials for the first and last name being different.

I second your award for Dr. Ginsburg and his trying to force out the Marina residents.
He really doesn't need the money.
So please award him as the worst and not best!
This has been one crazy few years! Love your newsletter!

Did AG beat out EL and TB for this award? Is this year’s trophy a giant plastic $ icon mounted on a tiny sea lion barge?
I just figured out that EL must be Elliott Lewis, but still can't figure out who TB is.
Think BiCHDie.

Sorry, I don't know who EL and TB are? Unfortunately, there are a lot of contenders in RB for the Worst Person Award!
