Los Angeles Mayor Acknowledges Relationship With TV Reporter

Now a public figure having a relationship with another public figure is not a big deal, however the fact that the Mayor is still married, yes there is a divorce in the works, shows how much the moral fiber of our country has fallen. Look at the comments and quotes from this man.

The mayor and his wife separated last month after 20 years of marriage. Corina Villaraigosa
filed for divorce June 12, a day after the mayor told reporters in a City Hall news conference that he took the blame for his crumbling marriage.
At the time, he wouldn't answer whether he was romantically involved with someone else, citing his family's privacy.
But Villaraigosa issued a statement, published Tuesday by the Los Angeles Daily News, acknowledging his involvement with Telemundo newswoman Mirthala Salinas, after the paper told the mayor it was set to publish a story about their relationship.
"It is true that I have a relationship with Ms. Mirthala Salinas. As I've said I take full responsibility for my actions, and I once again ask that people respect my family's privacy. For my part, I intend to stay focused on my job, and to work as hard as I can every day to be the best mayor I can be," Villaraigosa said.

Now let me see this guy is elected mayor of one of our two largest cities, he and his wife separate, she files for divorce after 20 years, and he only admits that it was an afair that caused the divorce after a local newspaper threatens to blow his cover?

Then there is more...

She seeks spousal support and primary physical custody of the couple's 14-year-old daughter, Natalia, with visitation terms to be worked out with the mayor, according to the filing.
The couple also have an 18-year-old son, Antonio Jr., and the mayor has two adult daughters from previous relationships.
Villaraigosa has carefully tended an image as a devoted family man, but his marriage has shown signs of trouble in the past.
His wife filed for divorce in 1994, but the couple reconciled after a two-and-a-half year split.

Get this he has 4 kids from 2 different women, yet somehow was able to come off as a devoted family man. Really sad.
