Corrupt City Council Member Lies On Venice Pier Update

An update regarding the Venice Beach Pier repair and closure was made by that corrupt lying LA City Council member Mike Bonin.

He stated that Phase 1 of the repair work will be done by this spring.

He claims that this is to "repair damage done by an electrical fire" which is a lie.

That fire was caused be a homeless person trying to tap into the power near the entrance to the pier (not over the water where this clown is showing photos of).

Just like the fire that burned down the building on the boardwalk earlier this month, this much hated Bonin, is always trying to deflect attention away from the homeless problems that have ruined Venice Beach.



Many unhappy people have been calling him out on his gross negligence and lies:

According to Surfline: More solid WNW swell Sat PM-Sun, Mon-Tue… surf finally slows late next week.

Monday, January 17th: Old/new WNW swells 4-6’ good breaks, standouts 8’+ late. Swirling AM wind.
W/WNW swell (270-300+) from the weekend trends down as solid new long period WNW swell (280-300) builds. Average winter breaks are in chest-head high+ waves as good winter breaks go overhead in the morning. Size trends up through the second half of the day. E wind in the morning for LA. Wind lightens midday and offshore Santa Ana flow develops late afternoon.

Tuesday, January 18th: WNW swell is 4-6’+ good breaks, standouts 8-10′. Swirling AM wind.
