Mayoral Control Celebrated LA Style

Dateline Los Angeles…There is a lot I have to say before turning the keys back over to
Papa AR, but let’s stay on the revolutionary news breaking in SoCal.

Today, at Animo South Los Angeles Charter High School, with my brothers Jonathan Williams, Marshall Tuck and Mike Piscal by my side and our Mayor celebrated the passage of Mayoral Control, LA style, in front of a huge happy crowd of charter school success stories. From the podium I could see Union bosses interspersed with Green Dot kids and empowered parents from the toughest neighborhoods of Los Angeles. We, meaning reformers, unions, parents and community groups must work together for this city to be a truly great city.

Today I have hope.
