Looks like LA Councilman Mike Bonin will not be around much longer to keep screwing things up.
Even though the recall attempt failed suspiciously, Bonin has decided to quit.
The delusional El Segundo Times put out a tongue bath story today giving Bonin credit for clearing out the homeless !
In an Aug. 2 message still posted on his website, Bonin, who orchestrated the cleanup using $5 million in federal pandemic relief, proclaimed that “211 unhoused people have come indoors, are receiving services, and are on a pathway to permanent housing.”
Since then, Bonin, who survived a recall effort that failed to qualify for the ballot only to abruptly announce last week that he would not seek a third term, had come under increasing criticism for not acknowledging that many people had evaded or rejected the outreach effort.
In a statement to The Times, Bonin said he continues “fighting for more housing options and pushing for more services to help and heal people who are living on the street, who experience trauma, physical disabilities, mental health issues, and substance abuse issues.”
He refuted, however, what he called “a public narrative that opposes housing as a solution, saying we only need more mental health and substance abuse services.”
HEY EL SEGUNDO TIMES, LET'S GET THIS STRAIGHT !!!
Sheriff Villanueva orchestrated cleaning up these encampments, NOT BONIN !
Listen to John & Ken talk about yet another El Segundo Times/ Mike Bonin tongue bath and who should really get the credit for the clean-up effort.
