So ... you want to blame Oboma for ... the sloppy and maybe criminal activity of the city... like the 111 million was just to create jobs ... it was to keep jobs and .... more importantly to rebuild aging and deteriorating infrastructure that .... HAD to be fixed anyway... but the city had no money to do it ... Catch 22 bud. Blame the city for not planning for it years ago ... and the tax payers for not supporting paying enough to do it years ago. Oh.. The fanciful musings of liberals.. "I'm disappointed that we've only created or retained 55 jobs after receiving $111 million," says Wendy Greuel, the city's controller, while releasing an audit report. "With our local unemployment rate over 12% we need to do a better job cutting red tape and putting Angelenos back to work,” she added. According to the report, the Los Angeles Department of Public Works generated only 45.46 jobs (the fraction of a job created or retained correlates to the number of actual hours of work) after receiving $70.65 million, while the target was 238 jobs. Similarly, the city’s department of transportation, armed with a $40.8 million fund, created only 9 jobs in place of an expected 26 jobs. The audit says the numbers were disappointing due to bureaucratic red tape, absence of competitive bidding for projects in private sectors, inappropriate tracking of stimulus money and a laxity in bringing out timely job reports. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/63228/20100917/american-recovery-and-reinvestment-act-arra-los-angeles-stimulus-wendy-greuel.htm |

Sounded like an attack to me, i'd report him. Newbies........ It amazes me that people who do not live here are such experts. Union labor is totally OVERPRICED. All of the "JOBS" created are union jobs. Also these "jobs" are contract and short term. How about creating jobs that sustain employment? If they are only hiring 40-50 people to fix our highway systems and infrastructure here no freaking wonder it takes so long to get anything done! Villarigosa is one of the worst Mayors Los Angeles has had to suffer with and he keeps getting the race vote thanks to all of the Hispanics living here. Please tell me people don't vote based on race! PLEASE! I DARE YOU! You are aware the City planner spends 2 million dollars every year revamping his office? That has created so much contention here! |

let's do some math... $111M divided by $50,000 equals 2220 jobs. This is how many jobs that should have been created at least with that amount of money.  so the question is: why weren't they? You know that it is not that simple with construction jobs, right? The cost of material can be horrendous and the contracted labor is not so cut and dried. What dimwit would decide to use large fractions of the $111M for asphalt and concrete when people are desperately in need of jobs? I stand by my question. Why weren't 2220 jobs created? Don't tell me it is because millions of dollars were wasted on purchasing rocks and oil. If true that would be a travesty. Labor is labor. A lot of people would be glad to do a lot of work for nearly $25/hr ($50K/yr.) with low overhead. With $111M one could give 2220 small businesses $50K each. |

Still not realistic no matter how you put it.

Still not realistic no matter how you put it. Nonsense. Seeing that many many lower paying jobs could have been also created. It is certainly realistic. It simply was not done properly. Money and opportunity wasted. No excuse for it at all. You have no counterargument. |
