LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa must be in good spirits. Mirthala Salinas, his former mistress, current girlfriend and disgraced Telemundo newscaster, will finally be off his back and back to work.
Her two month suspension for having an affair with the Mayor while reporting on his marriage???s demise is up. Telemundo has offered Salinas a reassignment at Inland Empire bureau in Riverside, a serious demotion from her previous role as fill-in evening newscaster. Sometimes sleeping your way to the top doesn???t work.
It???s unclear whether Salinas will take the reassignment, but her coworkers, who will undergo ethics training from the Poynter Institute, aren???t exactly excited for her return. One staff member told the LA Times,
I personally would respect her if she didn’t come back ??? It’s like the mayor said, ‘I take responsibility for my actions.’ Responsibility is when you do something about it.
Some of that resentment probably comes from having to sit through boring workshops.
