He was asked on short notice to speak at the Rosa Parks memorial in Detroit.

As if 7 hours and 22 speakers wasn't enough, they needed a boy from the barrio to be there as well.

"Mayor MEChA:"

Read about how a pro-communist, ultra radical "MEChista" named Tony Villar cut his hair, changed his name, put on a tie, and became the mayor of America's second largest city.

This is the start - at a higher level - of a continuation and the voters of LA knew exactly what they were voting for when they elected him.

How is speaking at Rosa Parks' funeral part of his official duties? How about he pays for it out of his own private pocket?
It would be different if the president or other national leader went, but he's just a lousy mayor! Of a truly crappy city (I was there last year and hated the place - it's dirty, smoggy, and you can't even find anyone in a gas station or convenience store that speaks English - in fact, now that I think about it, it's basically just like some 3rd world nation).

the mayor planned to tap a political account, not taxpayer money, to reimburse the company $438 each for himself and the aide, the amount it would cost to fly a commercial carrier to Detroit.

Why doesn't the Mayor have to reimburse the full amount it would cost to use a private jet?

Lonesharks allied with far-left Democrats? I bet Ameriquest doesn't give out "social" loans.

...after receiving a last-minute invitation to speak at the funeral of civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks.

Let me write a more likely scenario:

...after realizing at the last-minute that he wasn't going to be given the opportunity to be in front of a camera, the mayor went to MacArthur Park and purchased an invitation to the funeral of civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks.

Because of the short notice and the need to fulfill his official duties, the mayor needed the services of a private jet," spokeswoman Janelle Erickson said

In what way is this one of his official duties?

That is because AmeriQuest is itching to refinance California.
