My old pal, Michael DiVirgilio, the Mayor of Hermosa – until Pete Tucker takes over that ceremonial title later this month – is putting on a “Leadership Forum” on Sept 10 in Hermosa Beach in the City Council chamber. I only know about it because the announcement was sent to me by accident with a request not to forward it to anyone. I’m honoring that request by reposting the invite here instead of forwarding it to anyone.
It’s all been very hush-hush with no public announcements or outreach despite the fact that he’s been planning it for a couple of months now. It’s apparently by invitation only and intended for VIPs of an undisclosed nature. Call it a closed session if you want to be really accurate.
This isn’t the kind of transparency or sunshine I expect from local elected officials and this level of secrecy isn’t worthy of a “Green Idea City” label.

So glad you didn’t do anything irresponsible like forwarding this on… but I’m so bummed I haven’t been invited yet either. I guess we’ll all have to wait until the soon to be former Mayor decides it prudent to share his ideas with his constituents…

That’s what happens when the guy making the decisions has no real green credentials, doesn’t walk the walk and can’t talk the talk unless someone else is scripting him. Live and learn.
