LA City Council: Always Tardy

The City Council meetings are scheduled for 10:00 AM, Tuesday, Wednesday and 
Friday.  

The meetings never start on time.  The Council President has to sit at the mic 
for a good 20 minutes begging members to come to the meeting.  

Why is this?  I see it as a complete slap in the face to the citizenry.  City 
Council members know what time the meetings start.  Its incumbent upon them to 
plan their activities accordingly in order to start on time.  A few council 
members are on time sometimes, but most are not.

Then, once the meeting is started, they waste an inordinate amount of time on 
"presentations" many times honoring average citizens who have done good works, 
but mostly bestowing praise on retiring or transfering bureaucrats.

If the public saw this behaivor, they would be appalled.  The Council knows, 
however, they have the benefit of the apathy of the public.  Shameful.
