Speaking of billionaires ... I guess he's fixed all the problems in L.A so he has time to travel to the Hamptons to hangout with billionaires . I'm sure the trip was to help L.A and not his future political or financial ambitions .

"We're here to remind you again that, nope, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti isn't gearing up for a 2020 presidential campaign. He's just looking to do a bit of traveling at the moment, and his travels have taken him to the Hamptons in New York, where he's getting drinks with Ronald Perelman (not actor Ron Perlman), the billionaire head of MacAndrews & Forbes. The holding company owns Revlon, among other things. "

I love the hypocrisy of this guy it's so blatant.

"He also pledged not to accept campaign contributions from retail giant Walmart, which he criticized during his campaign for paying workers low wages.

"Los Angeles loses if we run a race to the bottom in terms of wages and working conditions," he said.

At the end of the following year, city records show that Walmart made a $100,000 contribution to the Mayor’s Fund, at Garcetti’s behest."

"Eric Garcetti, the Mayor of Los Angeles is auditioning to become the Mayor of Chicago—corruption, payoffs to friends, contracts, abuse of power—the Chicago Way has hit Los Angeles.
“Since his election as mayor, records show Garcetti has used the mechanism to raise $31.9 million in large donations to his favored causes from individuals, businesses and foundations, some of which have won sizable contracts and crucial approvals from the city in recent years."
