Tyler's out. Tornek's in.
Tornek suggests the only black republican in the SG Valley to do the invocation. Reverend Turner from New Revelations Church is the Clarence Thomas of Pasadena. Tyler gets Paul Daily to lead the pledge. The clerk tells us what we know. Gordo and Holden got re-elected and Tornek's replacing Tyler.
No back pats, Council introduces friends and family who are there. Gordo's packed the house. Holden jokes that his family takes up the whole row.
BE NICE TO TYLER TIME:
Adam Cater from Portantino gives Tyler a certificate. Beck lauds Tyler for being a purse watchdog, but I guess missed all the calls for tree consultants and the votes to spend money. Madison gives Tyler a green eyeshade. Haderlein gives Sid a photo of the Playhouse District. Tyler says something about the trees, but we can't hear it on TV.
Tyler's pretty funny and thanks everybody. He's been at it twelve years, and he's a good ole dude, that's for sure. He's an old white guy who represented hte old white part of town pretty good and leaves being warmly thought of.
ADJOURN THE OLD COUNCIL SANS TYLER AND COME BACK TO SWEAR IN THE NEW GUY
Tornek intros his family.Holden talks about how long he's been on the council. Gordo thanks his constituents. Tornek gets lauded by Bogaard who endorsed him.
VICE MAYOR ELECTION:
Haderlein's been it for two years. He gets a clock for time served. McAustin nominates Gordo 'cause it's his turn. He's a hometown boy and milks it a bit. It's his turn, so he oughta take it. Bogaard says they've got a lot ahead of them and he's proud to be part of it.
They're done in an hour. Not much fanfare for Tyler, but I guess he burned up some good will with the tree bullshit.
Next week we get to see Tornek in action. Hold your lunch folks.

Seeing that Tyler endorsed Tornek it will be more of the same - sadly more of the same.
Here is a topic for you. Does it help or hurt District 6 to have a Mafia lawyer as its councilman?
I'll play! Cali cartel provides matching funds for Mayor race.
A Mafia lawyer who does his legal briefs and reads his personal mail during council meetings, the meetings that he actually shows up to. If he doesn't run again who will run for his seat? He probably will run unless Bogaard retires, then he'll run for Mayor. I'm sure there will be some interesting candidates.
"A Mafia lawyer who does his legal briefs and reads his personal mail during council meetings, the meetings that he actually shows up to..............."
I'll vote for him if he runs in district 1. Anything is better than what we got.
It's pretty sad when the two councilmembers representing both sides of the Rose Bowl are the laziest, most aloof and arrogant on the council. Steve Madison sits in the council chamber opening his mail and doing his legal briefs and Jackie Robinson just sits there looking bored and lost. Why and how do we elect such pathetic representatives?
