Off-Ramp commentator Jon Regardie, the executive editor of the Los Angeles Downtown News, takes advantage of LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's newest web feature.

Regardie's script:

LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has a new feature on his website. It’s called “Ask the Mayor,” and I’ve got a few questions for him.

RABE: Commentator Jon Regardie is the Executive Editor of the Los Angeles Downtown News.

I don’t know whether Hizzoner’s staff will make up questions to be featured, or if they’ll really go for things the public wants to know. Hoping it’s the latter, here’s what I’d ask him:

Do you get a little tingle inside when you veto something the Council passed?

Did you really once have a “Born to Raise Hell” tattoo, and if so, how much hell did you raise? Speaking of hell, do you think you have a snowball’s chance in hell of balancing the city budget the next couple of years? Speaking of the budget, you’ve been talking about “shared sacrifice.” Did you share any sacrifice today? Speaking of “shared sacrifice,” how much is Miguel Santana, who will make 256-thousand dollars a year as City Administrative Officer, going to share. Like, with me.


Do you follow your girlfriend Lu Parker’s Twitter account? If so, what do you think was the more informative post?
A: Undie Run at UCLA has been canceled.
B: Chipped my tooth.
Or C: Oh my god!. Just ran Runyan Canyon with friends and my dog Monkey. It is so hot up there. Too much sun, and ready for a nap.

Do you like Monkey the dog? Does Monkey the dog like you?

Do you plan to date any other brunette TV newscasters? How was your vacation to Iceland? What did you think of the TV newscasters in Iceland?

Who’s your favorite Council member? Who’s your least favorite Council member? Do you think Eric Garcetti wants your job? Have you tasted Garcetti’s Green Passion Milkshake that’s part of the Got Milk campaign? Why don’t you have a milkshake? Everybody likes milkshakes.

Were you bummed out that you only learned about Chief Bratton’s departure from the LAPD the night before he told the world?

How was your vacation to South Africa? What did you think of the TV newscasters in South Africa?

You promised Council District 14 voters you’d complete a full term but then left after two years to run for mayor. Oh, wait. That’s not a question. Sorry.

If you were trapped on a desert island with a union leader and a developer and you had one cookie, and you weren’t allowed to eat it yourself or break it in pieces, who would you give it to?

And last question: Just wondering, who is your favorite local journalist?
