Yeah, it was a conspiracy to oust the innocent, hard-working saints at LAWA. And a fairly massive conspiracy, too. After all, they managed to coerce endorsements out of:

  • Twelve Chambers of Commerce
  • Seventy City/Town Governments
  • Twelve Newspapers
  • Nine State Assemblymen/women (both Republican and Democrat)
  • Three State Senators (both Republican and Democrat)
  • Roughly Twenty Governmental Agencies and Business Organizations
  • Four US Congressmen/women (both Republican and Democrat)
  • One US Senator
  • Tommy Lasorda

That's a pretty impressive feat. Or, perhaps the truth is that LAWA did a horrible job of running ONT.
