[Liberal_in_LA]

LA doesn't need its top financial officer to be drunk because our budget is a mess...huge deficits. I wonder if the stress lead to the drinking

The top financial officer for Los Angeles on Sunday announced he has enrolled in an alcohol treatment center just days after being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.

"I do not know how long this stage of my journey will be. I apologize to my family, friends, the Mayor, City Council, CAO staff, and the entire city family for my irresponsible behavior," Santana said in a statement. “The outpouring of support and prayer has helped carry my family and me during this difficult time."

1. Upon his lawyer's advice I'm sure. Always looks good to the judge

that you're trying to get your act together...

2. Maybe the reason the city budget is such a mess is because a drunk was

in charge of it???

Oy.
