Ridley-Thomas, Parks face runoff

ridley won , wow , thank you jesus and thank you city of hawthorne

It aint over til the fat lady is singing (in November). Wonder what Hilliary will be singing???

Gridley-Thomas could use to runoff more than a few pounds though. And what's with this two name thing anyway. Why doesn't he just make up a new name like mayor Tony, then when he cheats on his wife he can deny it and blame it on someone with the same or similar name.

i reckon he should have won it , dis ain't right , do you know how hard it is to campaighn in south centeral la door to door !!! its like axin to rob me almost , he be fittina to win dis time , peace out

Ridley-Thomas might be liked in Hawthorn but his record in Southwest Los Angeles has a lot of problems. In many cases he put his friends first even at times when the community was hurt by his decisions. Just ask anybody about Marlton Square.

Magic Johnson Development Company was to be the original developer for the site, according to public record. Reportedly the former Los Angeles Laker turned businessman had an exclusive negotiating agreement with the Community Redevelopment Agency to develop the plaza but he and then councilmember, Senator Mark Ridley-Thomas had a falling out about the NFL’s efforts to get a team back at the Coliseum. Despite former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan’s support of Johnson, Ridley-Thomas opposed MJD development and arranged for Hammond’s Group to get the project.– the Los Angeles Sentinel

What did he do for Hawthorn?
