You forgot the Sleazy before the Weezy. But Huizar should get used to it. It isn't long before Tony forgets about him.
Weezy! Wasn't he one of the seven dwarfs - the immature, wet-behind-the-ears one?
Nice try on the t-shirt Mayor Sam. But I'll think you'll sell more if you have a cartoon of the LAUSD logo on life support, of course weezing.
You gotta be kidding me. This is a blatant attempt to generate goodwill for Sleazy Huizy Huizar.
NO JOKE, I AM CALLING THE ETHICS TIPLINE. THIS IS IN THE VERY LEAST AN IN KIND CONTRIBUTION AND AT THE MOST, AN IE
Uh-huh. Did you call them for their pro-Hertzberg or pro-Villar stuff?
Its called protected speech. Besides, his shirt says WEEZY - who the fuck is Weezy??
We've added a few more cool products.
Huízar, who actively supported Villaraigosa in his quest for Mayor, he has been “meeting with elected officials and members of the community that want someone capable of working and looking toward the future,”
TOO BAD IT ISN'T YOU JOSE.
Can you imagine this weezy guy...We have one of the worst drop out rates of any school system in America, gang and racial tension and violence so bad that kids are scared to go to school, and teachers who paying for paper and pencils out of their own money. This is the LAUSD, presided over by one Jose Huizar, now known as "weezy," who I thought was the incompetent dwarf.
Unless LAUSD becomes a top 10 nationwide school in 30 days, Huizar has no hope in getting elected.
Where was the yellow in Villaraigosa’s rainbow?
Even though the majority of APA votes in Los Angeles were originally with Mayor Hahn during the primary, a host of APA leaders worked 24/7 to raise dollars and shift APA support to Antonio Villaraigosa (44%) in the runoff. As the second largest ethnic minority group in Los Angeles, this community cannot be ignored. So it was shocking that there were no Asian Pacific American faces on the stage with the newly elected mayor during his televised acceptance speech.
This absence did not go unnoticed. Soon the e-mails were flying and the phones were ringing off the hook. It was comforting to hear from inside sources that there were prominent APAs in the back room with Villaraigosa during the election. However, when the mayor-elect finally took the stage, there was no list or direction as to who should be on stage with him. Chaos resulted. When the mob scene started, the APAs in the back room were just too polite to engage in the hysteria and were content to watch offstage. As a result, no APA presence was seen.
I have personally experienced these moments and have also politely stepped aside to avoid the chaos. In hindsight, sometimes our politeness works against us and is seen as a weakness. In this case, being polite resulted in our invisibility.
I’m happy to hear APA names are expected to be named as a part of Villaraigosa’s transition team shortly. He has a great opportunity to tap into our talent pool. If he wants to have the majority of the APA support next election, he will have to work at expanding his relationships and work even closer with this very diverse community.
We will be watching him closely to see that yellow is definitely a color in his rainbow.
Hey Yellow,
You'll never get anywhere being polite and sitting on the sidelines in LA politics. You shouldn't be sitting around waiting for him to name you to the transition team for too awfully long, since most of them are already busy at work.
Minority In The Know
Not even Judy Chu?! Isn't Parke her consultant also? I know there's a kosher burrito downtown, can chinese food be kosher?
Anon @ 8:10
By "kosher burrito downtown" did you mean the fast food joint on 1st street or Tony?
Parke is now Weezy's consultant. Is this going to be a Pacheco-Villaraigosa rematch or what?
Jose has too many failures as school board president to run on anything. CD14'ers are already blasting him at community meetings. Roosevelt on the Eastside is a really sore issue and Jose stood by and has watched it go down the toliet. Taylor Yard is a sore issue with the Northeast people and Jose stood by and did nothing.
The fact that he hid and didn't come out when the race fights happened at Jefferson and citywide is a true indication that he does not know how to lead. As prez he should have come out,.
Big trouble fro LAUSD.
New School Built on Tainted Fill
L.A. Unified failed to inform regulators that material with PCBs and other contaminants was used at the campus, set to open in July.
...."We were assured that, especially after Belmont, the school would be clean," said Cecilia Nunez, a founder of the grass-roots group Neighbors for an Improved Community. "We didn't need to be concerned…. We accepted that as God's truth."
What school officials failed to say at the time, however, was that their handpicked developer had violated the district's environmental specifications by using hundreds of cubic yards of fill from a stockpile contaminated with carcinogenic PCBs and high levels of harmful petroleum byproducts, according to public and confidential records obtained by The Times.
In fact, the records show, school officials failed to tell state environmental regulators that the fill was already in the ground when the regulators ordered the school district not to use it. L.A. Unified officials kept mum for two years, despite a state law requiring school districts to notify regulators whenever contaminants are detected at a school construction site, records and interviews show.
Yikes for Huizar....the contaminated material was brought onto the school site while Huizar was school president. Sorry Jose, but this looks very bad for you being an enviromental/land use attorney.

DUMB FUCK (Your language) - hate to break it to you, but Los Angeles City Ethics laws limit your "protected speech."
You cannot send a mailer, for example, without submitting it to Ethics. You cannot give an unlimited amount.
And you cannot have an Independent Expenditure without reporting that you have done so.
AND, a campaign must REPORT ALL IN-KIND contributions.
God, it would SUCK if another candidate for council sued to discover the identity of Mayor Sam and he turned out to be a Sleazy Huizy supporter.
Talk about an undisclosed "contribution"!!!
Huizy/Weezy/Wheezy/Huizee - you're SOOOOO sleazy!
FROM NACHO FROM PICO:
I'd assume that 5:55 pm would be right if it were a straight out "Huizar For City Council" shirt, but what about if it's done in the form of political parody, which I think Mayor Sam's shirt might fall under. Any clue??? Just a thought. Maybe one of the educated, attorney bloggers here might be able to answer that.
previous poster this Mayor Sam is a Huizar supporter.
LA Times....For the first time, a labor union paid for a costly television commercial attacking one candidate — Hahn — and promoting his opponent. And a landowner with development projects under the purview of the City Council and the next mayor spent more than $193,000 to advocate Villaraigosa's election.
Virtually all of the independent spending in the 2005 mayoral race came from labor unions and one individual, Richard Meruelo, a major downtown landowner and developer.
Meruelo gave $5,000 directly to Villaraigosa's campaign, then spent $193,311 in the runoff on an absentee ballot effort, automated phone calls to voters and radio ads urging Republicans to vote for the councilman.
Meruelo could not be reached for comment. But the Cuban American developer, who divides his time between California and Florida, said in a preelection interview that he strongly supported Villaraigosa and would take pride in the election of a Latino to the highest office in Los Angeles.
He and his family own property throughout downtown Los Angeles, including near the Staples Center, next to an architectural school near the Los Angeles River and in the produce and garment districts. In March, Meruelo sparked controversy by acquiring a site in Glassell Park that the Los Angeles Unified School District wanted for a high school.
Development and land use issues are the province of the city Planning Commission, whose members the mayor appoints. Projects also must win approval from the City Council and the mayor.
Asked about the propriety of such unlimited donations, Villaraigosa said there are limits to what the city can do to control independent spending. "In a perfect world, you'd like to eliminate independent expenditures," he said. "But the courts have taken the position that people have 1st Amendment rights to advocate for candidates."
Another development in the mayoral contest was the California Teachers Assn.'s decision to spend more than half a million dollars for commercials on broadcast television stations in the nation's second largest media market, a first for a Los Angeles campaign.
The union also spent about $74,000 on polling and support services.
Moonlighting
Is Mayor-elect Antonio Villaraigosa still a member of the Los Angeles City Council, and are we still paying his council salary? He cannot possibly be in two places at once. The council has been minus a member for a long time. Only in America will they let you run for mayor, do all your campaigning, and still get paid for doing nothing. It must be nice!

Chief Parker is a Huizar supporter. I - Mayor Sam - have endorsed no one. If I were in the district, I would most likely vote for Pacheco I guess. Seems to me as if Huizar has been a failure as a school board President.
And to be honest, we had a hell of a school board member/president in Caprice Young. Its absolutely shameful what the teachers' union did to her. I don't think an elected official cared more about children than this woman.
So indeed, its an insult to have someone like Sleezy Weezy in leadership role. However, if his supporters want to buy my t-shirts, feel free. He doesn't see the cash, the Sister City does, just like with our Huggy Bears which some of you actually bought. Hertzberg didn't see a dime of that either.

Please call the Ethics line so they can laugh their asses off at your stupidity!
First, Mayor Sam is not directly distributing, in any form, this t-shirt. It's not entering people's homes or being placed in their hands by any other means.
Second, for anyone to have heard about it, they would have to - on their own- visit this site since it is not offered anywhere else.
Third, it does not clearly mention any candidate, Weezy is not a candidate, and no election has been called to date which would have a candidate named Weezy listed.
Look at the clear difference with the Meruelo IE:
1.) Bought radio air time which people could not avoid listening to
2.) It clearly mentioned his candidate and urged action for Antonio
3.) Phone calls and mailers "entered" people's homes and advocated for an action
GO HUIZAR!

Ethics line snitch

El Sereno - good post. The snitch must be a leftover from the Hahn crew.
The hell with Huizaar.

huizar must make all pacheco lovers nervous.
if, pacheco is going win then why slam huizar.
maybe la collectiva is nervous they'll be left out cd 14 contract business.
HUIZAR has his hands full this week with all the contaminated land at the Santee School in South LA. How stupid of them not to check what the contractors were doing filling in the land with tainted contaminated dirt.
Jose is not looking good these past few months with LAUSD being in the media almost daily with negative stories. LA Collectiva was never found to be guilty of anything. Sounds like BIG O campaign person for Jose is trying to drug up dirty laundry cause he has nothing else on Nick. Sorry, but Pacheco has the momentum of major players in CD14.
7:38 ANON
From: The Big OOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Listen you idot get your fact straight.
I wish the best for Nick and his campaign.
I just believe Huizar will win.
I just believe Huizar will win.
Regarding LA Collectiva I could careless about that organization.
this shirt design SUCKS...AND what's with the fakey gangsta tagging, ya racist prick?
now go suck on a chainsaw.
Pacheco has got to be nervous about the campaign. I've heard he's out offering jobs to Villaraigosa's people and begging them to say they'll be a part of his (dreamin') administration.
Either Pacheco's on crack or he's nervous. Let's see...work for the Mayor of Los Angeles or work for a guy you went balls out to beat and did so by 17%. Pacheco is without shame.
You wish, 9:42 anon! If you are a Villaraigosa staffer, don't hold your breath waiting...
Does anyone know if and when the Kosher Burrito will back in business in the new Caltrans building?????
