Hats off to Zach Behrens at laist.com for terrific interviews with former DWP Commission President Nick Patsaouras and City Councilwoman Wendy Greuel about what they would do about the parking meter fiasco, traffic issues and the mess at the Department of Transportation if elected City Controller.
And the best part is you can read it and then vote is a straw poll on who you think would look after the public interest best. I'll give you a hint: Wendy has her operatives out to a fast start.
There's a big difference between their views on the responsibilities to the public and their commitments to being public servants and not just elected officials.

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.
