Cindy to Police Commission & Other Rumors
For the last few days, we've been tracking rumors that Mayor Villaraigosa is planning to appoint former 11th District City Council Member Cindy Miscikowski as a member of the Los Angeles Police Commission. The "chatter" has notched up a level, so we've decided to share the news with you. One of our high placed sources in the District said Cindy could be a good choice given her six years on the Council's Public Safety Committee, where she served as Chair.
In the meantime over at Sam Yorty's America, we're picking up on a story from Matt Drudge and Flap the blogging dentist that President Bush will shortly announce that Chief Justice William Renhquist plans to step down as well. This is the second such Superme Court resignation in a week (on the heels of Sandra Day O'Connor) and notches up Bush's appointment battles quite a bit.
UPDATE: We have received word that long time San Fernando Valley attorney, former commissioner and civic leader Lee Kanon Alpert may be tapped by MAV for a spot on the Airport Commission.

Cindy would be a great choice given her experience. She knows public safety issues better than any other council member including Bitter Bernie. Antonio would get major kudos for this move. I hope he appoints her.
Personally, I'd like to see her on the Board of Airport Commissioners, the Stakeholder Liaison spot, or even Executive Director of LAWA.
Two reasons why:
1.) She knows the LAX Master Plan better than anyone since she wrote Alt. D.
2.) That way she can't make any $$$ off of the new concessions and construction related to Alt. D.
there is already a link to this issue on zbone.com, cindy, if you recall, was the one who waged war on handies and hoovers in valley strip clubs.
Don't make any mistake about it; if Antonio does indeed appoint her, it is because her husband, Doug, moved over to Antonio's camp in a big way after the primary. The new mayor was not one of those around the horse shoe that was impressed by Cindy's knowledge of city stuff.
To wit, his people remember she was out walking with Hahn the night before the election. Elections do have consequences, you know.
We don't need any more recycled politicians. Let her go back to living the high life in peace.
Cindy is interesting, but does anyone have an opinion on this:
Where’s the DWP’s $12 million
Two secret training institutes remain unaccountable to the public
To Freeman’s way of thinking, it seemed that Local 18’s tendency to “blur the lines between [negotiating] and criminal extortion” — as Chaudhry described its squeezing of concessions from DWP management — was a good thing. Local 18 business manager Brian D’Arcy should be proud of himself, crowed Freeman, as he stood near Hollywood Boulevard in his trademark Western hat. “Hell, if I was Brian [D’Arcy] I’d nail that memo to the wall of the union hall as a badge of honor,” Freeman said. “It’s his job to do his best for the members. If managers can’t stand up to him, that’s their fault.”
Interesting words from a man who, many veterans of the DWP and City Hall say, gave D’Arcy the keys to the store. More so, given that DWP insiders say Freeman could be the next president of the Board of Water and Power Commissioners if Villaraigosa defeats Hahn on May 17. But Freeman, 79, didn’t elaborate at the time about how he’ll be spending his golden years. “If you’ll pardon me I’ve got to go see my good buddy Antonio,” he said, as he ambled into the throng at the Henry Fonda Theater.
Oh yea, kids on wilshire say, "hello."
Hahn chief of staff Tim McOsker would not comment on whether Hahn had any concerns about the $12 million in public funds controlled by the JSI and the JTI. Councilman Antonio Villaraigosa and Councilman Tony Cardenas, chair of the Commerce, Energy and Natural Resources Committee, did not return calls for comment. City Controller Laura Chick, who has focused heavily on improprieties in the Hahn administration, did not return calls for comment.
Asked about his desire to come back to the DWP, Freeman denied that he has talked with Villaraigosa, who is leading Hahn by double digits. “I don’t want to jinx anything,” he said of the likelihood he could be tapped should Villaraigosa become mayor. “Where I come from you don’t talk about something until you’ve got it.”?
There are more people in Westchester and surrounding area that want the LAX expansion plan. LAX is the 3rd busiest airport in the world and we need it expanded. Cindy is smart and would be one of Antonio's best appointees to a commission.
there's no way in hell that Rosendahl would let this one happen now that he's about to undo what Cindy did to LAX. Bye bye lax expansion.
Cindy "Missy" on ANY Commission would be a travesty! Her "experience" includes her back door deals with Hahn. Why would MAV reward ANYONE that supported the Hahn baffoon and his "pay for play" LAX fiasco? It would be tantamount to asking for trouble and trouble is what Cindy is.
P.S. How would the residents surrounding LAX like losing their homes to emininent domain? As for McOsker, the Friday council agenda included a motion for this idiot's apointment to LACERS. Someone change the channel, we need people in the City with no ties to Hahn!
You forgot to mention Cindy's close ties to Julie Butcher and Cheryl Parisi. 'Nuff said...
Amen, anon 8:45.
Enough already! Let Cindy just go away
Valley strip on saticoy and woodley offers handjobs out in the open.
