If Caruso rewards the people responsible for the anti-business policies he deplores, he shouldn’t be surprised if the bad behavior continues.
Los Angeles Mayoral Candidate Rick Caruso during a tour of the LA Boys and Girls Club in the Lincoln Heights area of Los Angeles Friday, October 28, 2022. Asked in August why he thought there was a surge of “flash-mob” robberies of luxury retailers, billionaire mall developer and former candidate for L.A. mayor Rick Caruso answered, “They’re successful. If you have bad behavior and it’s rewarded, then you continue with bad behavior.
“Help” means money. Caruso told Politico he wants to get “moderates” elected to the House. “I am not out to support extremists or, frankly, ideologues,” he said.
Caruso has hinted that he wants to run for office again and clearly wishes to have the backing of the Democratic Party after the cold reception he received as a candidate for mayor. The Karen Bass campaign regularly emphasized to voters that Caruso is a former Republican and independent who switched to the Democratic Party before he entered the mayor’s race.
You don’t become a billionaire shopping mall developer in California without knowing how to negotiate with elected officials. It wouldn’t be surprising if more money was dangled than delivered.Nonetheless, it’s disheartening to watch Caruso, a candidate we endorsed for mayor, fall into the trap of thinking the key to restoring pro-business policies is to defeat Republicans like John Duarte, a farmer and businessman who narrowly won the open 13th District seat in the San Joaquin Valley.
