Thanks to David Coffin of the Westchesterparents.org blog here's some facts about your city leaders -- the people who blithely jackup your DWP rates and want you to drink recycled toilet water -- you don't want to miss:
Coffin reports: The annual average per person water consumption of LADWP customers is 56,576 gallons per year or 163,000 gallons for the average 3 person household.
- H. David Nahai (DWP General Manager) -
434,220
(a staggering 310% times more than my household!!) - Rocky Delgadillo (City attorney) - 423,368 gallons
- Mayor Villaraigosa - 386,716 gallons
- Jack Weiss - 254,320 gallons

Thanks David, you've put their hypocrisy into perspective
Ron Kaye is the former editor of the Los Angeles Daily News where he spent 23 years helping to make the newspaper the voice of the San Fernando Valley and fighting for a city government that serves the people and not special interests.
Twice in recent years, Los Angeles Magazine listed Kaye among the city’s most influential people, specifically in the area of politics. Kaye has been variously described in the media as the “accidental anarchist,” “the Patrick Henry of the San Fernando Valley” and a “passionate populist.” He is now committed to
carrying on his crusade for a greater Los Angeles as an ordinary citizen. Previously, Ron worked at the Los Angeles Herald Examiner,
Associated Press, Cleveland Plain Dealer and The Australian as well as papers
in Fairbanks, Alaska and Yakima, Wash. He also wrote for Newsweek magazine, The Guardian in London and the National Enquirer.
It didn't specifically say, but comparing the usage, I'd guess it's gallons per year.
Parks is the lowest with 35,156 gallons, and Nahai the highest with 434,220 gallons.
Either the Nahais are squeaky clean, or we can't stand downwind from the Parkes.
