The Los Angeles Times just reported: “Los Angeles officials have offered Occupy L.A. protesters a package of incentives that includes downtown office space and farmland in an attempt to persuade them to abandon their camp outside of City Hall, according to several demonstrators who have been in negotiations with the city.”

“City officials have offered protesters a $1-a-year lease on a 10,000-square-foot office space near City Hall.”

Full Story & Details here: “Occupy L.A. receives offer to decamp; Protesters could get downtown office space and farmland if they leave City Hall.”

Aiding and abetting the enemy... the staple of Democrats. Maybe he`ll offer some assistance to the Zeta cartel.. if he hasn`t already.

if they *take* the “bribe”...

Aren't they principled? They should protest and riot and be even more licentious (lice-centious too!) until the LA mayor agrees to knock the price down by $1. No Compromise!

If OWS is intended to be the counterpunch to the Tea Party (it is) then it must endure into next years run up. A west coast presence also maintains some visibility thru the cold winter. Obie’s probably pressured Mayor La Raza to do this.

[Timber Rattler]

Can’t wait for a similar offer for the TEA Party.

None of the “occupy” camps would have lasted a week without the support of leftist politicians, who need the mobs as tools for the (they think) Transformation Of America promised by The One.

It appears that even among socialists, not all animals are equal:

"I don't appreciate people appointing themselves to represent me, to represent us," one woman called out during the assembly. "Who was in those meetings?"

Not to worry my peon Comrade, they'll TELL YOU what to do after they get the corner office with window view, the Mahogany furniture, a nice leather recliner, and 80" Flat-screen TV, Broadband, Blue-ray, etc, etc..

an aside: I hope they go for the "10,000 SF office space". That's only 100 ft x 100 ft. Enough for the self-appointed 'LEADERS' and that's about it. (ain't life a beech. LOL!)

Yeah until the “riff-raff” start interacting with his staff.

(Or the OWS crowd becomes “exclusive”-in which most or some would riot their own office)!

You can occupy Sudetenland if you stay out of Poland.

[bigdirty]

This mayor is a filthy communist dog who thinks he is a dictator like Hugo Chavez.

How about if you can use Public space, IF you can prove you pay taxes? Second, if the Public Space is un-used, why is the taxpayer paying for it, and it’s not SOLD to reduce the deficit?

Tony Villar was an affirmative-action pro-communist student radical back in his youth.

Nothing has changed with him, and now the socialist Aztlaners are now in charge.

I’m so glad that I got out of Mexicalifornistan.

[Dutch Boy]

This will be a move he will soon regret. He is trying to appease the enemy only to be soon it’s target. Since the OWS crowd has not earned when they are being offered, they will not take care of it. It will become zone of filth.

[domeika]

I'll rent this as office space for them. 40 cubic yards. I wonder how many of them we can fit in there?

[Carry_Okie]

Interesting that if they *take* the “bribe”, then they will be no better than the politicians that are pawns of the corporatism they say they protest against.

They already are. Where do you think international communism gets its funding but from the wealthiest people on the planet? And they are NOT doing it for ideological reasons.

Socialism consolidates the power of a government guaranteed to be in debt. The bondholders call the shots, whether for regulatory favors or favorable taxation. This whole 'tax the rich' scam is actually aimed at their competition: what's left of the the upper middle class. The wealthy have tax exempt foundations with which they fund their racketeering in the name of "charity."

You seriously think aisle 6 needs a clean up? Come on....

[GreenHornet]

They should be offering to not bulldoze their camp if they leave now.

[jcsjcm]

I was really hoping this was satire! I’ve lost my faith in our country totally now!

This is a disgrace!

[Yardstick]

This reminds me of an indulgent parent with a bratty kid they can’t control.

[Reeses]

Wake up taxpayers; this is your money the Mayor is giving away.

giving away to the 2012 Democrat reelection campaign. This is a one-sided political donation of taxpayer money that's off the donation books. Without giving away other people's money to the mob no Democrat could ever get elected.
