Mayor Jim Hahn isn't real happy that City Council president Alex Padilla got a City Hall guard to let him into the mayor's locked office over the weekend, ostensibly to take video for a banquet spoof. "I think my personal office ought to be my personal office," Hahn told the Times, which chased a Daily Breeze exclusive. "You do feel a little violated." Padilla, who insists it was all innocent, chose to look on the bright side: the ensuing investigation should help City Hall plug "loopholes in our security."

The Breeze has a follow-up today saying the guard has been placed on leave and may get fired.
