Mike Antonovich: "Frank's ... Pathetic Legacy"

post from 6-4-2 ? an Angels/Dodgers double play blog on 02 November 2011 10:03:06 PM. © 6-4-2 ? an Angels/Dodgers double play blog

It's a rare day you'll hear me agree with almost any elected official, but it's hard to dispute LA County Supervisor Mike Antonovich:

He called current owner Frank McCourt's decision to sell a "new chapter."
"I'm looking forward to local ownership," Villaraigosa said. "I want the owner to be from Los Angeles. I want someone who loves this town and believes in this city."
