You may not enjoy this as much as I do, but La Mesa mayor Art Madrid was found by police near his home drunk, and in a pool of his own sick. (“Um, Mr. Mayor, would you mind coming with us?”) Two things make this story much better: an equally drunk city employee was in his Ford Exploder with her feet hanging out the window, plus the La Mesa City Council hauled his sorry butt into chambers to read him the riot act.
At last night’s meeting, Madrid would only say that “it was unfortunate for me. It’s embarrassing and humiliating, and I promise it will never happen again.”
Next time he’ll drive the pickup.
