Malloy to Hobnob With the 1% at Swank LA Venues.

Democratic and Working Families Governor Dannel P. Malloy wings to Los Angeles next week to Occupy The Beverly Wilshire Hotel for a holiday gathering of the Democratic Governors Association. The two-day event opens Monday night with a reception at The Via at Two Rodeo. (We don’t have to tell you Two Rodeo what, do we?).  It’s known for its “European flair” and “Fabulous Fetes.”

Tuesday features a breakfast at the conference headquarters, the ultra-luxurious Beverly Wilshire, a Four Seasons Hotel.  That’s followed by forums on energy, government efficiency and technology from 9 a.m. to noon.  Probably won’t need a very big conference room for any of those.  Lunch at noon and then the afternoon is free. That leaves time for the chief executives and lobbyists to repair to the hotel’s spa, treatment rooms and swimming pool (“Attendants are always nearby to offer a cooling Evian spritz, chilled water or a shot-glass smoothie”) to think big thoughts about pressing public policy issues.

The governors–9 are confirmed as attending–and party donors will reconvene as the evening begins at The Studios at Paramount for a holiday reception, the final event of the DGA’s annual meeting.

Rooms for the DGA rate of $325 per night are sold-out. Rates on remaining rooms run from $480 to $1655 a night early next week.
