South El Monte Continued…
I have to admit I am fascinated by this story. Why is the Mayor of South El Monte spending so many late nights at City Hall working and should the Council stop her from working those hours?
“It’s my home away from home,” said Figueroa, who admits she’s often there until the wee hours doing city work. “I put on my slippers, put my hair up. It’s comfortable.”
No Mayor, that is weird. The story continues …
“The mayor has been living at City Hall for the last eight months,” said City Councilman Hector Delgado, who added of her office, “Does it look like a professional office or does it look like somebody’s bedroom?”
Figueroa says she spends most of her days in meetings, so she needs her evening hours to catch up on e-mail and paperwork. And she has to do that work at the office, she said, because she does not have a fax machine or a copier at home.
Figueroa, who frequently refers to herself in the third person, has been saying in recent days that she will try to comply with the wishes of her colleagues. But she makes no firm promises.
“The mayor’s work is never done,” Figueroa said. “The mayor’s got to burn the midnight oil.”
Burn baby burn?
