Mayormania
Welcome back to the Opinion L.A. News Quiz. This week’s quiz is in three parts: A trivia question (no prize awarded); a limerick competition (prize awarded!); and a caption contest (prize awarded!).
If years of scandal have taught you more than you ever wanted to know about various big-city leaders, now you can put your mayoral knowledge to use.
Trivia question:
Before 1993, when L.A. voters adopted term limits and Mayor Tom Bradley decided not to run for a sixth term, who was the last L.A. mayor to have retired voluntarily, without being defeated for re-election, recalled, or otherwise trying to regain the seat?
Send your answer to opinionla@latimes.com. We’ll post results later this week.
Limerick competition:
See if you can sum up hip-hop mayor Kwame Kilpatrick’s legal woes in a five-line ditty with an A-A-B-B-A rhyme scheme. Please keep it relatively clean for our family paper.
Send your limerick to opinionla@latimes.com. We’ll announce a winner later this week.
Caption contest:
Words can’t describe the look on Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa’s face. But you can still try.
Got a caption? Send it to opinionla@latimes.com. We’ll announce a winner, and the actual caption later this week.
Thanks for taking this week’s Opinion L.A. Quiz. Check back in a few days for winners and come back and play again next week.
