Jewish Journal - 30 Forgeries

Ok, I don't know what's going on but just minutes ago the Jewish Journal released their story on the web regarding the Hahn campaign and forgeries.

Let me paint the picture for a second:

Hahn gets prominent Jewish individuals to endorse his campaign -- fair and square.

Hertzberg enters the race for mayor and woos many of these folks to his camp, fair and square.

Now, the Jewish Journal reports that 30 of those endorsements are fakes.

A campaign that uses fake endorsement cards isn't that bad right?

An administration that has 2 grand jury investigation isn't that bad right?

An administration that has a FBI probe can't be that bad right?

Investigations from the City Controller, City Attorney and District Attorney doesn't mean that the Mayor is bad, right?

Massive corruption, investigations galore, and an indictment -- does that sort of work culture produce a campaign that would issue FAKE endorsements?

Answer: Yes.

When it's something as important as putting somebody's name down on paper, you don't just get remit cards and take them as is. You want to make sure to get their information, call them up, and speak to them personally to verify that their endorsement truly belongs to you.

I figured that somebody who has been in elected office for over 20 years would know to make sure that any endorsement (particularly from an important voting block like the Jewish community) is set in stone before putting it out to the community. I guess I was wrong.

Jimmy's standard response will be forthcoming. We've all heard it so many times that any of us could write it for him. It goes something like this:

"I don't know anything about this. If they were false, those who did this should be punished. People make mistakes sometimes, and sometimes they change their minds.

I will look into it, and you can be sure that wrongdoers will be punished. My father, Kenny Hahn, the maverick, was attacked like this, but he had you in mind every time he did something."

Close enough?

I do not think that Mayor Hahn is dishonest, but that he just has a problem with surrounding himself with people who have questionable ethics. Ultimately, he will have to account for the misdeeds of underlings and it will have to be more than the empty statement of, "I take full responsibility." Hahn should just do L.A. a favor by resigning as Mayor and dropping out of the election.

HEY 9:48. Did it ever occur to you that some of us might not WANT Pacheco to run again? That we might not want anyone else to step in after just two years and have to start things all over again. Most districts get to have the same councilmember in office for several terms - at least two now with term limits, and they don't start things really rolling until they been in office for awhile. If he makes Mayor, we will have had 4 different people in that seat since 1999 (that's only 6-7 years).

There are a lot of us that believed Villaraigosa, trusted him to improve CD14, supported him in his initial efforts (small ones in any case), talked him up to people who were skeptical, and then were Betrayed (with a capital 'B'). That can't be denied, spin that all you want.

Is it too much to ask that Villaraigosa keep his promise, get back to work - at the job he's getting paid for, hire some competent staffers for a change (they don't have to be ex-Pacheco staffers, but it would be nice idf they actually knew the names of some of the CD14 communities - maybe even lived in the district?), and make CD14 better than it was when he stepped into office.

Shoot me for being trusting. Shame on me for supporting his efforts the first 6 months, crap on me for feeling betrayed and disappointed when he broke the biggest promised of his council campaign - boldy and with silly statements about the fact that we supported him in doing so. Damn me for saying he lied to me, and not being forgiving for the the fact that he's on to yet another game, and obviously isn't any more serious about this one, than the last.

Enough with the sour grapes. If Antonio wins, then you get to elect someone new and you can get every candidate to sign a pledge to whatever you expect of them with a timeline of realistic results. So if they don't measure up you can kick them out in four years. But that's democracy.

And if Antonio loses, you get a chance to boot him outa' office in a couple of years.

Hahn already responded to the endorsment "forgeries" if that's what they were, yesterday, on radio. He basically said they weren't collected by his staff, but by volunteers - so there's no one to "punish." He was sorry it happened, and they fixed the ad they appeared in (and I think mailers?), with the names removed and re-ran it with the correct endorsements listed as soon as they found out there was a problem.

Is it really that big a stretch to think that since most of these same people endorsed him last time around they didn't feel the need to go running out and double-check to see if they were still on board, once the cards came in? Hey, I don't keep running back to my "significant other" every day asking, "you still love me right?" (Some day's I'd be afraid of the answer).

2) He IS a pathological liar (it made all the newspapers).

3) You trust him to do the things you want a mayor do, in spite of the fact he can't be trusted to keep his word (Moron = "a very stupid person"). Only a very stupid person would trust someone who habitually lies to suddenly begin keeping their word.

5) I don't support him because he can't be trusted (i.e, NOT a moron).

Thank you, Athena (Harriman) for the admission, on Villaraigosa's behalf, that he does indeed practice situational ethics. A second-hand admission is about as close to the truth of his personal demons as anyone here is going to get from the ADV-lovers. (Although I personally enjoyed overhearing one of his paid campaigners say a few years ago -- as ADV was putting on a pullover campaign sweatshirt -- that it would be a MIRACLE if he could "get that thing on over his big head.") Parke Skelton heard that comment, too... ask him!

By the way, wasn't "Athena" the goddess of "wisdom" -- pretty dumb to be supporting a candidate who's a pathological liar and can't be trusted to keep his word (thanks to his "situational ethics"). What does happens, all you ADV-lovers, when YOU, or your cause, or your community, are no longer the "situation" he loves or feels the need to be "ethical" about anymore? Why, then of course you'll be joining CD14 ADV-lovers and true belivers in a growing chorus singing the words of that torrid C&W classic made famous by Crystal Gayle.

You wanna know when CD 14 had their chance to tell the city about their councilman -- March 8th. Every disgusted voter who foams when they think of Antonio had the chance to let their opinion known. And when the number crunchers were analyzing the data you know what they found -- they found that even in a lower turnout race Antonio got a higher raw vote and a higher percentage than we he was on the ballot for City Council.

So what does this mean MEAT?

here's an example for you dum-dums.

in 2001 let's say there were 100 voters, and for the purposes of this example let's say that Antonio got 58 votes.

In the mayor's race let's say there were only 99 voters this time, in this race Antonio got 61 votes.

Higher percentage, higher raw number.

You guys can claim that voters that did not vote count, but then you sound more like the Gore recount team in Florida than anything else.

Hahn is supporting Neighborhood Councils; ADV disses his, uses their money when he has his own, ignores their meetings, and pits them against each other for favors with the carrot/stick approach.

The following just announced will make citizens groups in L.A. the strongest of any major city in the country. This is NOT a campaign ploy, Hahn has consistently supported NCs and protected their funding againt budget cuts, he is continuing down the same path now that most of the city (just in recent months) has finished organizing into NCs and has held elections.

Under ADV as the mayor, you might as well disband citizen-elected advisory panels, and just hope your "side" in any issue is on record as having given enough to his campaign funds in the past, present, or future. This is another reason why most NC presidents in Council District 14 are NOT supporting their own councilmember for Mayor.

Dear Neighborhood Council Supporter,

Four years ago, there were no Neighborhood Councils. Today there are 85, and they're transforming the way government works in Los Angeles. Power in Los Angeles is moving from City Hall to where it belongs - in our neighborhoods.

I gave Neighborhood Councils a real voice in the city budget for the first time last year, and they, loudly and clearly, told me what they wanted. This year, we prioritized putting more cops on the street, increasing paramedic services and doubling the miles of street improvements. Neighborhood Councils have proven to be a powerful and needed voice in guiding the overall vision for Los Angeles. And Neighborhood Councils have used their $50,000 budgets to directly impact their neighborhoods by buying school books, playground equipment, and radar guns for traffic officers.

The experiment is working. Now, I want to take Neighborhood Councils to the next level by incorporating them in the day-to-day operations of our city to improve our quality of life through:

* Neighborhood Council Representation on Every City Commission

* Neighborhood Council Involvement in Every General Manager Selection

* Neighborhood Council Performance Review of Every City Department

* Neighborhood Council Involvement in Every City Budget

* Neighborhood Council Representation in Every Teamwork LA Neighborhood Service meeting

* Neighborhood Council Participation in the Eyes on the Neighborhood Program

* Neighborhood Watch Training for Every Neighborhood Council

* Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Training for Every Neighborhood Council

I think this plan will make a real difference in increasing the role of Neighborhood Councils in city government, which will make a real difference in our city. I look forward to hearing from you on my plan, and I thank you for taking part in transforming Los Angeles' city government.

Very truly yours,

James Hahn

You REALLY can't compare district results in a primary this year with one four years ago and make parallels. Only 2 of the 5, 8, or 12 candidates on the ballot (depending on how much of a factor any of them were to any sub-group's voting or non-voting). If even one candidate on the ballot had been different from year to year, that throws any kind of accurate comparisons off. But 6-8 different significant candidates is just plain silly.

Answer: Hahn implemented and supported NCs. No other mayor saw a single NC come into existence. Words on paper that never become reality are the trademark of ADV. Hahn had made these things happen, just like 311. Villaraigosa makes promises, then breaks them, day in, day out.

HELL, let's elect him president then -- the further away he gets, the better off CD14 is gonna be? Is that your brand of insanity????

DAMN, HAHN has done more for CD14 in the past two years than ADV, and HE'S from San Pedro, for Gawd's sake. Maybe we just need to make sure we elect councilmembers not from the district (well, ADV was a carpetbagger, but not by much).

Are you as stupid as you sound, or do you think we are. If I hear this "it'll be good to have the local boy as mayor" chicken shit one more time, I'm gonna hurl. He's done LESS than nothing for two years sitting IN the district (sometimes), so he'll do MORE when's he's gone????

LISTEN UP Districts 1-13, and 15. We have it on the best authority from that previous, anonymous poster that once ADV is MAYOR (NOT GONNA HAPPEN!), he's going to give preferential treatment to 14, for A CHANGE! Better not let that happen, or YOU'LL have to wait until he's governor to get his attention for YOUR district.

Proves that these anonymous ADV-lover really ARE his field staff. They know that if ANYone else but them were sitting in those field offices, CD14 would be getting WAY better treatment. "Please let ADV take me to then mayor's office, I'm WAY to stupid to get anything done in CD14"). Thanks for the confirmation of what's obvious.

Sounds like the Hahn folks are starting the race-baiting a bit earlier than scheduled (see 2:30PM above).

Sad time for the city. While Hanh could and should and probably will get better when relected. The city of LA under antonio as mayor would be like going back to the 70's.We would really become a city with two standards. The poor parts of the city with no order, and anti-police support. The valley and the westside getting all of his time and politcal attention.At first they would like it, but soon would see the danger of the politics of tale of two cities. It is frighting to think of antonio as mayor.He would have two sets of rules for the city.A vote for Hanh is our only hope.

The ADV-lovers have been moron-baiting since day #1 (and getting lots of "bites"). Only a moron would believe a liar will stop lying NEXT time.

Why? Because Antonio Villaraigosa is a pathological liar and can't be trusted. Someone prove me wrong.

End of story!

Considering only 26% of the electorate voted on March 8, its definitely noted that this pathetic blog is only a primal scream location for Villaraigosa haters. Its nice to know that they can get their frustration out in an open environ filled with the other handful of folks that hate like them.

Keep it up folks. I'm a professional psychiatrist in the northeast and I hope I will see you soon. There is some definite need for anger therapy and self actualization. Remember, its difficult to become the best person you can be when all you do is project your insecurities and self-loathing onto someone else. Especially when that figure is a public figure who is easy to blast in a faceless forum as opposed to working your anger out in person.

Hey, Imagine? Is it the same people who asked Villaraigosa to run for mayor now asking Huizar to run in CD14? You bet it is. Antonio decided to run for mayor on his own and he is the force pushing Huizar to run. I thought Huizar would have apromising career. But he's going to be known as Antonio's bitch for the rest of his political life.

Jose Huizar has disappointed many in CD14. His endorsement of Antonio is going to haunt him. We now hear other stronger candidates will be running against him that is after Antonio is recalled. Big mistake Jose. You've aligned yourself with a man who has no character or integrity, a womanizer who has no morals, a crook, a man who's promised all his endorsers he'll help them and Jose will be left in the dusk.
