  • big Mike Bonin fan!

    Mike Bonin is an amazing counsel member and an all around amazing human being. He is among the few in LA actually trying to solve the homelessness crisis instead of just sweeping it under the rug. I am proud that my city has someone like him trying to make change for the better. It’s always been obvious that his only goal is to help his constituents, he is so down to Earth!!

He refuses to implement any laws or rules on the drug addict vagrants that have invaded and destroyed Venice and the west side. He allows and encourages drug use on our streets and sidewalks by vagrants who steal from the residents and break into local businesses. He refuses to help the average resident, pushes all the... more

  • More Bonin Lies

    This guys’ hype machine is on full blast and always broken. He’s destroyed the Westside of LA and now he wants to tell the world what a fantastic job he’s doing? Pass!

    Also, with budget cuts, furlows, not enough people to do the work, and record high homelessness... is this the best use of my councilmember’s time?
