He is an awesome person with advanced political philosophy, very supportive of real community issues and straight-from-the-people democracy. He's a member of the Green Party, and will be running for this council seat again when it comes up for reelection in a year and a half. He's currently on the Studio City Neighborhood Council. I recommend checking out his website for his positions.... www.mccuefor2.com Michael McCue was a grassroots candidate in this race.

It is great he has apparently turned his life around, albeit with connections. However, Mr. Sheftel, under your definition of a local, I would no longer qualify. You went to drugs and had to be bailed out by your parents. I enlisted in the Army, served 18 months, attended college (graduated mgana cum laude) and ROTC, was commissioned. By the time I was 24, I was commanding a platoon. In Desert Storm, I was a Company Commander. The crud you gave those of us unpopular b'tards in High School will earn no kudos from me Mr. Sheftel. You lack of morals, and self respect espcially with your drug habit makes me question whether you have really gotten off of drugs. There are far better candidates for office.

I use to rent an apartment from Frank. Nice guy, great landlord. If I still lived in the district, he'd have my vote. Yay Frank! I use to rent an apartment from Frank. Nice guy, great landlord.

Here’s how the City Clerk’s site explains the job of the city council: The Council is the governing body of the City, except as otherwise provided in the Charter, and enacts ordinances subject to the approval or veto of the Mayor. It orders elections, levies taxes, authorizes public improvements, approves contracts, and adopts traffic regulations. The Council adopts or modifies the budget proposed by the Mayor and provides the necessary funds, equipment, and supplies for the budgetary departments. The Council confirms or rejects appointments proposed by the Mayor and prescribes duties of boards and officers not defined by Charter.
