*Mayor kept spotty records on tickets

I'm sure they'll be more later today, but here's a nugget from Fox 11:

In some cases officials have yet to determine where some freebies came from. Still, the mayor's top lawyer says Villaraigosa obeyed all rules and was attending Los Angeles Lakers games, the Academy Awards and other high-profile events in his capacity as mayor. Lawyer Brian Curry says bookkeeping for the tickets needs to improve.

But if Villaraigosa's office doesn't have documentation on the ticket freebies, how does the lawyer know he obeyed all the rules?

*Wait, it gets better. From L.A. Weekly's Informer:

Brian Currey, the mayor's attorney, says Villaraigosa believes that names of corporations and individuals who gave him tickets to more than 50 events do not need to be explained to the public, because his mere attendance is his official work. Currey says they do not know who gave the mayor many of his freebies -- implying that the mayor did indeed destroy/toss out the records. Currey said "we believe" that when Villaraigosa snagged $3,000 seats and other gifts to Lakers events, much of that came from huge entities like AEG, NBA and "friends of the mayor." For concerts, Currey says "we believe" he took stuff from the artists and the promoters. All we can say is Good Lord!
