It was one of those rare Monday mornings when people wanted news coverage all over City Hall. The mayor‘s folk and Councilman Mike Feuer hunted media fame in the precincts of the Third Floor press room. Controller Rick Tuttle had launched his own informal presentation on the 12th Floor: all for ink and soundbites on a day when usually, in our local government, nothing happens.But, perhaps in the holiday spirit, the Monday after Thanksgiving was an exception: Officials virtually pranced before reporters and even tried to upstage one another. You saw this particularly in City Councilman Mike Feuer and senior mayoral deputy Rocky Delgadillo’s announcement of the (they hoped) imminent legislative passage of an omnibus city business-tax measure. Gil Cedillo is supposed to re-introduce his bill this month. The package was inclusive enough to have the partial support of the governor, the screenwriters, the business people, the Legislature, and, of course, the mayor and council members.
