Parents Summit on the Crisis in LAUSD
In a bit of campaign maneuvering and what I'm hoping is noble intentions of dealing with an actual crisis that everyone admits exists, Nick Pacheco blasted the following press release to his audience:Saying "Parents are Crucial to the Solution,"
Pacheco Calls for Parents Summit on the Crisis in LAUSD
Pacheco Calls for Parents Summit on the Crisis in LAUSD
Los Angeles, CA - "Parents are vital in bringing about any change in the LAUSD," said former city Councilman Nick Pacheco. "We have to include our schoolchildren's parents and loved ones in any solution to the problems facing our disintegrating school system."
Citing high drop out rates, increasing racial tension in the classroom and lack of parent outreach, Pacheco said that politicians and education experts alone wouldn't find solutions. "That's why I am calling for a Parents Summit," said Pacheco, " I want to hear first hand, before the recently set up committees and commissions get too far along, what our children's parents and loved ones have to say to us. I want to hear from the children, as well. Neither politicians nor experts have a monopoly on caring for our future generations".
Former Councilman Pacheco said he is writing to Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to ask him to co-sponsor the summit, which hopefully will be held as early as next month.
Here is a copy of the letter to the Mayor. Click on the image to enlarge.In other Pacheco spam news, we get updated on the following:
Q & A Session Available Regarding LAUSD Budget Woes and Issues:
Tuesday, July 26 at 6:30 PM
El Sereno Senior Center
Representatives from LAUSD and the State will be available on Tuesday, July 26 - 6:30 pm at the El Sereno Senior Center to discuss the current financial woes at LAUSD. Find out:
- how did LAUSD overspend their fiscal year 2003-2004 budget by $253 million? What assurances do we have that those funds were spent in the classroom and not the bureacracy?
- what does it mean that State Controller Steve Westly has put LAUSD on the state's financial watch list? How does the "watch list" work and what can parents and teachers do to help the school district get off the list?
- why is the district considering spending $49 million for a parking structure so soon after spending $184.2 million to move top brass and staff into a downtown building?
- why did LAUSD submit a "qualified" financial rating to the Los Angeles County Office of Education, indicating that the district is uncertain whether it can meet its financial obligations over the next 3 years?
- can Romer's secret fund be used to make improvements at local schools?
The Senior Center is located at 4818 Klamath Place, (x-street Eastern) Los Angeles, CA 90032 (323) 223-1399.

Mayor Villaraigosa Plans City Budget Cuts
Dear Friends:
As was reported in the LA Times the city budget woes have caused Mayor Villaraigosa to push the departments to "start scaling back a bit." It is reported that the City could face a $225 million dollar deficit beginning July 1, 2006 if changes are not made immediately.
As former Chair of the Budget and Finance committee, I can tell you that the Mayor is in a good position to impose cuts and get things on track. As the Chief Executive he can reign in the departments and make sure that they maintain the current level of City services.
I am committed to working with the Mayor and utilize my prior experience as Chair of the Budget and Finance committee to assist him in this important task.
NO INCREASE IN TRASH COLLECTION FEES: I will fight back any desire to impose a fee for collecting trash from single-family homes in Los Angeles to solve our budget problems.
We will get through these lean years and, unfortunately, the City Budget will only focus on the basic city services for CD 14.
However, there is good news for us below!!!

CD 14's "Million Dollar Baby": CLARTS Amenities Fund
Dear Friends:
Many of you have tracked the various CD 14 motions spending CLARTS Community Amenities Trust Funds (04-2219 $50,000 to Para Los Ninos, 05-0795 $30,000 to Self Help Graphics, 03-0307-S5 $2,369.99 to Mariachi Festival, 03-0307-S6 $60,000 to Centro de Ayuda, & 05-1371 $66,000 to Council District 14 Staff Costs) and have wanted to know how this fund was created. For the last three years this fund has been in the works and I want to personally thank Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa for completing this project while Councilmember.
When the Department of Sanitation approached me with the idea of purchasing the Central Los Angeles Recycling and Transfer Station (CLARTS) in 2002, I told them that I would agree to the purchase ONLY IF a community amenities trust fund was established. I had known about the one for Sunshine Canyon Landfill and figured "if it was good enough for the Valley, it was good enough for us on the Eastside." They agreed and thus the agreement for the CLARTS Community Amenities Trust Fund was born.
According to the very first motion (04-2219) introduced to spend the funds, every fiscal quarter generates $226,000.00 dollars for CD 14, around $1 Million a year.
This fund puts CD 14 in the unique position of not having to rely on the City's budget to fund local projects. As I have walked in various neighborhoods the following projects have surfaced and seem worthy of support:
-- bus shelters and cement platforms along Valley Boulevard in El Sereno
-- $10,000 to each fire station that services CD 14 for station repairs, including removing barbed wire and putting wrought iron
-- historic lamps along Figueroa north of York Blvd. -- maintenance contract with Clean and Green for the Evergreen Jogging Path
-- Northeast Film Festival -- Farmers Market in Boyle Heights
-- Art Scholarships for residents of CD 14, redeemable at Self Help Graphics
-- padded chairs for all the Senior Centers
If you have any other suggestions e-mail us at teampacheco14@sbcglobal.net.
It is an exciting time to be a resident of CD 14 and I look forward to being a hands on Councilmember that spends our resouces in the community.

Sure, Let's see if the Mayor does care about the kids and opens up to unite with Pacheco in a productive summit which can only help our community. I want to see the Mayor take the bipartisan step to unite for the benefit of our children. Unfortunately, I doubt Tony will think of the kids.

You call that a post. I had to wake myself after the first cut-and-paste and fell back asleep after the second cut-and-paste.
C'mon, Mayor Frank, use that muscle between your ears do your own writing.
Weakness, thy name is Mayor Frank.
blah-blah-blah.
Nick, what have you done for me lately! Get it.
Voters love "Winners not Losers"
I'm curious, who in CD 14 is supporting Pacheco and Huizar, I am speaking of businesses, residents, organizations, and local media.
Is Alvin Parra running again, he might still be at Charo
Wow - Multiple Personality Disorder on display. Can ANYBODY doubt the bizarre, deranged, malevolant intent behind the Pachueco campaign? Can anyone believe that this guy will ever be able to work with MAV or has any real intention of doing so? "Nick Pathetico" is truly another appropriate tag for this nut. He's posing as a councilman and expects people to buy it? Now that's contempt for the public. We ususally don't see such quixotic behavior unaccompanied by either senility or alcoholism, or both. He probably dresses to matador music in the morning. In another time and place this guy would have gone around saying, "but I am Napoleon."
Blather-blather
Nick has already forgotten Ricardo Torres WAS his friend... and cost him the council seat in 2003.
Now... lets talk about AV's GOOD friend "Ricardo" Murelo who stole the site for a much needed new high school in Northeast L.A.
I'll trade one "Rickie" for the other ANY day.
One cost Pacheco his council seat (and he knows it), the other cost L.A. a high school (and AV couldn't care less!)
Blather-blather... what have Villaraigosa OR Huizar done for CD14 ---- EVER!
(Oh yeah, 80 fake neighborhood watches and 80 failing LAUSD schools).
Next time one of you "charming" baby-kissers wants a "chair" from which to ignore constituents while waiting for the next bus - do CD14 a favor. MOVE WEST!
Pacheco calls for input from constituents to solve problems, and he gets accused of "nefarious" tactics. ADV ignores his constituents for two years and Huizar ignores glaring problems in L.A. city school for FOUR years, and they're "visionary."
BOY, are you morons drinking the ADV koolaid by the barrel, or what?
What will they let Tricky Nick list himself as on the ballot?
When are you Pacheco-haters going to start looking at the track record of WHO GETS THINGS DONE.
Pacheco - tons or lie-improving work in his first team, AND a $1 million a year legacy of FOUND (CLARTS) money into a district he isn't even CM of anymore. AV's staff is STILL sitting on $2 million in CITY FUNDS for improvement projects they haven't dispenses... waiting to see who bows low enough to deserve it before they bail!
Nick = new private funds in, and getting used; ran the city budget committee when budgets were met and flush; AV -- OLD taxpayer funds collecting dust in downtown vaults, and the FIRST moves as mayor are CUT CITY BUDGETS... even before going looking for new funds. Maybe AV ought to ask NICK to do the prospecting for much-needed outside funds... HE DELIVERED to CD14; AV couldn't AND wouldn't!
WAKE UP AND SMELL THE CORRUPTION. Villaraigosa's "caretakers" in CD14 continue to withhold MASSIVE amounts of money from constituents.
SET OUR "DEAD PRESIDENTS" free AV-cronies. And STOP the LIES! Pacheco "served" CD14, your just "observed."
I'm sure the Pachuecos are proud of how clever they are. It's easy to see how they come up with dirty tricks. It's fun to play politico! Like little girls playing dress up.
I always liked the "tricks" Nick pulled off as CM -- new found money for constituent needs, red tape cut daly, inventive solutions found for decades-old problems CREATED by the last 3-4 slugs in that office (which is why Snyder and Alatorre don't like him... he made them look like morons for not solving those problems sooner).
Let's have a few dozen MORE "tricky" politicians downtown, and MAYBE we wouldn't be in such deep shit, Sherlock.
(AV still has just ONE trick... he's ROLLING UP HIS SLEEVES).
OH, and now Huizar has announced what his best/only TRICK is... he's ON GOOD TERMS with the rolled-up-sleeved mayor. That's it. That's ALL he's got... "I'm tight with the new mayor! That makes me the best candidate"
Well, hells-bells, then. We should elect Corina, instead!!
Back East, you get perks by being "a friend of ours" (wink, wink), now with Padrino Antonio, it's apparently going to work the SAME WAY.
Youse guys want the good jobs? Youse owes me favors.
KEEP rolling up those sleeves, Antonio!!
At least you'll get a more well-rounded TAN.
How's it going BEGGING for pennies from the GOP in D.C., Mr. ACLU??
WAIT, didn't you say L.A. was "wealthy" already in your Day 1 speech. I'm sure they got a transcript of that in the West Wing.
OOPS, now they can just go tell you to screw yourself, and get the money out of Angelenos!
DAMN, fire THAT air-headed speech writer.
this CD14 race is turning out to be a real snore...
START putting that $2 million in discretionary funds to work in CD14 Lisa SarNO! Some of it dates back to PACHECO'S term??
Whay can't you figure out what to do with it -- before AV steals it back for Westside improvements???
Cut some checks, fix some potholes, revamp some bus shelters (or build them).
DIDN'T YOU READ THE UCLA study... who uses the busses MOST... LA-TI-NOS.
WHERE are the best, most sheltering shelters found (empty...) WEST SIDE!! What the HELL???
Drive down any major thoroughfare in CD 14, and there are 10-12 "pueblos de su raza" standing at each bus stop in 90 degree heat waiting for belching overcrowded busses, while AV, Blackman and SarNO horde (whored?) $1 million in STREET FURNISHING funds from 2003, 2004, 2005, etc.
WAKE UP AND SMELL THE CORRUPTION!
It's de rigueur-mortis in CD14...
(and THEY'RE endorsing Huizar!)
WHY, simple... HE won't make AV look bad by actually getting something DONE in CD14, for a change.
Pacheco will! Just like to made Alatorre look like the brain-dead bureaucrat he was.
I think this is a stroke of genius by Nick. He's going to use the LAUSD against Jose.
^Agree, that was brilliant! I'm in Council District 8, and if I could I would vote for Pacheco, just for that little trick alone.
Subtle and Beautiful. Politics at it's best.
Agreed. Although I think all the power brokers will support Jose because they don't like Nick (and that is completely understandable), Jose nor his staff would have ever had the mental fortitude (read: knieving)to pull this off.
Nick is good at sticking his finger in peoples' eyes. Too bad he's not good at much else.
When you're dealing with a paralyzed pack of putrid "progressives" like the gaggle that runs this city (okay, "runs" is a bad choice), a finger-poke in the eye is sometimes the ONLY thing that can get their attention.
Want AV and crew to get something done? Try to embarrass Villaraigosa, and his STAFF will move HEAVEN and EARTH to finally, finally, finally, get something on track.
Ask the Southwest Museum Coalition how much good it's done them to kiss up to AV to get his attention (and donate $200K or more to his campaign-of-the-year). Has he done anything to keep the "cowboys" at the Autry from raping and pillaging L.A.'s first museum.
NOPE, and NOW they're panicking -- again.
Now ask the DOG PARKE people how fast things got moving once it looked like little Tony might be embarrassed by not being able to finish one TINY, tiny funded 6-month project Pacheco started almost 3 years ago. Poke, poke, poke...
The ONLY thing AV's sick-o-fants fear is making the boss look bad (but his staff makes it look SO easy).
Ha, ha, that's so true. The save-the-museum people just put out some press claiming the museum board won't meet with "our elected officials."
The mayor of the second largest city in the country can't get a meeting with the board of a non-profit organization that OPERATES ON CITY PROPERTY????
Can you say IMPOTENT!!!
Now Tony V. gets some of his own medicine, after dodging constituents in CD14 for two years, he's sitting in the waiting room sipping stale coffee while others DODGE him, and make him look like some 4th-level clerk in the city basement.
"Agreed. Although I think all the power brokers will support Jose because they don't like Nick (and that is completely understandable), Jose nor his staff would have ever had the mental fortitude (read: knieving)to pull this off."
I think Nick might pull this thing off because it kills two birds with one stone by putting AV and Huizar into a corner that they can't worm their ways out of;
1)AV for being the Education mayor and pulling that nice pay-for-play LA's BEST fundraiser that got $1.3 million dollars(When the city budgeted that exact amount) and most of the business borkers in LA aren't exactly thrilled about AV.
2) Huizar has to face the fact that he has done anything but ride someone else coattails, which the voters will see.
Nick's biggest enemy is Nick. He's hated and not adirmed
I feel differently about Nick, at the beginning I was skeptical, but comparing both candidates, this guy Nick is actually working. Huizar is busy making posters and letterheads for his next letter.
My vote is for Nick, he has made the effort to reach out to the Mayor and be productive, we'll see if the Mayor really cares about the city or just usues grudges as revenge.
We will see if the Machismo and jealousy comes out of AV.
I'm sorry, did you just AV would have some reason to be jealous of Nick??? Woah, did you take the wrong pill this morning!
So you mean to tell me that the man who took out Pacheco in the first round, the man who went on to become Co-Chair of Kerry's Presidential Campaign, the man who went on to beat Hahn to become Mayor of Los Angeles by almost 20 points is jealous of Pacheco???
I didn't think that some of the anti-AV stuff would be this ridiculous, but I guess you have to leave it to the Pacheconians to do so.
The Pachuecos are obsessed and live in their own little world. Getting Tricky Nick elected to city council in '99 went to their heads. They had big dreams -- really big dreams -- which is why they took such big risks trying to derail AV in '01. But they were hurt much worse than AV was, which is why Nick got blown out in the first round 2 years later.
AV has turned into the great white whale for Capt. Ahab Pachueco -- a now life-long obsession. If he loses this one he might have to be confined to a rubber room.
The snake has awaken from the Villaraigosa dungeon. Who is this Parke, ACE, iq of 75. And no, i am not a Pacheco supporter or Huizar supporter, I'm sick of corruption that is bread at the cost of our lives and futures.
As far as I'm concerned your pretty in pink politician Villaraigosa is just that a puppet and no good for nothing who will be ousted in the near future.
I get it now, the revenge thing. It must be right, and its funny too. Little peg-leg Nick and his political Moby Dick. This is more interesting now.
That's it! That's the campaign story line!:
-- TRICY NICK AND HIS MOBY-DICK --
[If you don't get it, "Moby-Dick" was peg-legged Capt. Ahab's obsession. He saw the great white whale -- which took his leg -- as "the embodiment of evil." Tricky Nick's old council seat is his lost leg, and AV is the whale that took it. "Thar she blows, mates!"]
What revenge? You guys are simply nuts. Was it revenge when Antonio run against Hahn in 2005 after losing in 2001? Why can't Pacheco run again? This site brings the worst out in many people.
No revenge, it is politics, ugly monster of politics spearheaded by medusa of them all-Villaraigosa.
YOU PEOPLE ARE BLIND, FABIAN NUNEZ, VILLARAIGOSA'S BUDDY JUAN JOSE GUTIERREZ IS A COMMUNIST WHO USES THE "LATINO MOVEMENT USA" AS A COVER UP ORGANIZATION TO FUND HIS SECRET OPS TO UNDERMINDE DEMOCRACY IN THE USA. HE IS LISTED EVERYWHERE UNDER THESE RED FLAGGED GROUPS.
PARTY FOR SOCIALISM AND LIBERATION
Nunez also responded to questions on:
* Whether Nunez will cut ties with the Voter Improvement Program, a group tied to organized labor that has paid him an average of $35,000 the past two years to serve as a consultant: There's nothing illegal about the work this group does. ... I haven't done any work for them this year, but I'm seriously considering not doing it any more. Not because I think there's any wrongdoing, but simply because I don't want any distractions. (Sacramento Bee, April 21, 2005)
WHAT A HYPOCRITE!
The FBI should have a file on this Nunez politician, he is a threat to American Democracy. He is a Mexican mole in our system of government. Is he in any connection with organized crime in Baja California, Mexico and the mafioso fisherman that smuggle people from Rosarito & Ensenada on small boats from Mexico's shore and mix with the summer crowd on American Ports. I heard Nunez has connections, but how high in Mexico and what type?
The politicians that have our wallets open are Nunez, Villaraigosa, Molina, Becerra, Padilla, Polanco, and TMTM...
These politicians are the problem, we have a solution, help Mexico become INDEPENDENT, and NOT DEPENDENT on the U.S. to give jobs and feed it's people. IT is not just MEXICO, we have people from other countries, such as Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, China, Russia, Brazil, Phillipines. These countries depend on the USA, like welfare! The people come over and first thing they do, apply for welfare, it is not about color, it is about abuse of the system. What is happening is that MEXICO is just next door, so more Latin American Immigrants are crossing over (due to distance). All they do is get on public assistance, bankrupt Medical, and foodstamps, and work under the table (CASH). How many people do you know or have met that do this?
How many families lie and say they are single moms with no husbands, while the husband works for cash & fails to report this income, meanwhile the wife and 4+ kids receive welfare, medical, foodstamps and financial aid. A working family (honest working family) usually does not qualify for medical, and US citizens are denied MEDICAl based on income, regardless if they can or cannot afford healthcare. But, the illegal immmigransts cross over and voila-there you have FREE SOCIAL SERVICES---THE POLITICIANS THAT PUSH THIS ARE THE ONE'S I MENTIONED EARLIER. THE HURT THE COUNTRY AND SADLY PEOPLE ARE BRAINWASHED INTO VOTING FOR THESE ANTIAMERICANS.
Nunez probably wants to get out of VIP before he has to explain why a nonprofit he takes money from is involved in political activity. Earlier this month, a formal complaint was filed with the FPPC against VIP, the Los Angeles County Labor Federation and Assemblyman Fabian Nunez regarding their failed compliance with the California Political Reform Act (PRA).
Despite Nunezs denial that VIP engages in political activity, here are the facts:
(Documentation on all of the following information as well as a copy of the FPPC complaint will be made available to reporters upon request. Please contact Sarah Pompei @ 916.448.9496.)
Nunez may be one of the worst people in American politics. His only strategy appears to be accusing people of racism if they oppose his agenda of appealing to non-citizens and illegal immigrants.
I'm not going to get into the tired conservative argument "it's illegal, it's in the name!". Obviously we all know what is going on. Arnold said what he said and meant it. He did not misspeak and he does not need to work on his english. He said he want the borders closed because he knows that it is inconceivably stupid and dangerous to leave the situation the way it is.
Mayor Sam....Fabian is not just a left wing politician, that does not bother me, I have democrat & republican friends. My concern is his indepth ideology that is coherced to the people. His blatant disrespect to the American National Anthem and immediately submissive to the Mexican National Anthem.
What is Fabian Nunez's realy AGENDA in America?
Who are his closes friends and allys in politics, he opened a can of worms and it will not be shut until he faces the music from the people he falsely promoted to.

"We have 27 centers now throughout LAUSD. Every one of them has trained people, clerks to take the fingerprints. Each one has the camera, that special camera. We have the application forms. And I'll tell you what we've done with I.N.S. Now we're even doing the testing that usually people had to go to INS to take, and pretty soon, hopefully, we'll do the final interviews in our schools. Incidentally, I started this very quietly because there are those that if they knew that we were creating a whole new cadre of brand new citizens it would have tremendous political impact. We will change the political panorama not only of L.A., but L.A. County and the State. And we do that we've changed the panorama of the nation. I'm proud to stand here and tell you that in those close to three years we have processed a little over 78,000 brand new citizens. That is the largest citizenship program in the entire nation."

I believe that the debate revolving around our immigration policy should reflect the fact that this phenomenon is underway. President Fox (of Mexico) yesterday stated that he came to the United States to "play a more active role in establishing the new international architecture". I believe that this new "international architecture" can be described as AMEXICO

"These are the critical years for us as a Latino community. We're in a state of transition. And that transformation is called 'the browning of America'. Latinos are now becoming the majority. Because I know that time and history is on the side of the Chicano/Latino community. It is changing in the future and in the present the balance of power of this nation. It's a game - it's a game of power - who controls it. You (to MEChA students) are like the generals that command armies. We're in a state of war. This Proposition 187 is a declaration of war against the Latino/Chicano community of this country. They know the demographics. They know that history and time is on our side. As one community, as one people, as one nation within a nation as the community that we are, the Chicano/Latino community of this nation. What this means is a transfer of power. It means control."

"Que viva la causa! It is an honor to be with the new leadership of the Americas, here meeting at UC Riverside. So with 187 on the ballot, what is it going to take for our people to vote - to see us walking into the gas ovens? It is electoral power that is going to make the determination of where we go as a community. And power is not given to you -- you have to take it. Remember: 187 is the last gasp of white America in California. Understand that. And people say to me on the Senate floor when I was in the Senate, 'Why do you fight so hard for affirmative action programs?' And I tell my white colleagues, 'because you're going to need them.'"

We cannot - we will not- and we must not be made illegal in our own homeland. We are not immigrants that came from another country to another country. We are migrants, free to travel the length and breadth of the Americas because we belong here. We are millions. We just have to survive. We have an aging white America. They are not making babies.

We do the work in this city, we take care of the spoiled brat children, we clean their offices, we pick the food, we do the manufacturing in the factories of L.A., we are the majority here and we are not going to be pushed around. We're here in Westwood, this is the fourth time we've been here in the last two months, to show white Anglo-Saxon Protestant L.A., the few of you who remain, that we are the majority, and we claim this land as ours, it's always been ours, and we're still here, and none of the talk about deporting. If anyone's going to be deported it's going to be you! Go back to Simi Valley, you skunks! Go back to Woodland Hills! Go back to Boston! To back to the Plymouth Rock, Pilgrims! Get out! We are the future. You're old and tired. Go on. We have beaten you, leave like beaten rats. You old white people, it is your duty to die. Even their own ethicists say that they should die, that they have a duty to die. They're taking up too much space, too much air. We are the majority in L.A. There's over seven million Mexicans in L.A. County alone. We are the majority. And you're going to see every day more and more of it, as we manifest as our young people grow up, graduate from high school, go on to college and start taking over this society. The vast majority of our people are under the age of 15 years old. Right now we're already controlling those elections, whether it's by violence or nonviolence. Through love of having children we're going to take over." Other demonstrators: "Raza fuerza (brown race power), this is Aztlan, this is Mexico. They're the pilgrims on our land.

"There's only two forms of power in this country and in this world. One is economic power, We certainly don't have the economic power because we don't own the means of production, but there's another form of power, and that's the power of the masses. So you can be as revolutionary as you want, you can be Chicano nationalist, you can be Mexican-American, you can be Hispanic, you can believe in the concept of Aztlan, you can believe in the concept of multi-culturalism.The time has come for unity - there's too many things that separate people, but we have to begin to look at what brings us together. And so I ask everybody here, how many of you agree if we can leave here with one thing today, that in 1996 we are going to Washington DC on a mass mobilization there to bring Washington to a standstill so that they know that we're there and that we begin to put into place those things that are necessary to insure that we advance the interests of our community. Raise your hands, those of you that agree with what I'm saying."
GOOD FOR NICK. Face the facts people who voted for Antonio the 1st time round are supporting NICK. WHY? Cause he has a record of accomplishments. Jose doesn't have any experience. You can open the newspaper any day of the week and find a negative story on LAUSD. What has Jose done about any of the problems? NADA. Nothing, he's hiding behind Antonio. CD14 can't afford to babysit Jose. HE can't start off running. He needs to be trained and get his orders from Antonio. CD14 needs someone like Nick who has it all.
Nick takes $2000.00 from Richard Meruelo and has the balls to call him a crook. Takes one to know one!
Congrats to Nick. A politician who puts constituents first and special interest second.

Hey Anon,
The 80 Fake Neighborhood Watches were the ones that Villaraigosa claimed to have in his one year report, website and campaign.
LIAR, MENTIROSO VILLARAIGOSA!
I'm off to read an iclelandic saga tonight for all the little children in CD14 that can't think for themselves, so I have to put my thinking cap and make up good speeches for the mayor on the computer.
love you all,

YOU GUYS ARE STUPID. DO YOU KNOW WHY THIS SITE WAS PUT UP? INFORMATION CONTROL. PARKE SKELTON WANTS TO KNOW WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR. THIS IS THE BEST WAY WITHOUT HAVING TO SPEND MONEY ON MAILERS TO FIND OUT. SO STOP POSTING WHAT YOU THINK, YOUR LETTING HIM ON ALL YOUR SECRETS AND HES BITING. ON THE OTHER HAND, IT CAN BE A USEFUL TOOL TO CONFUSE THE HELL OUT OF HIM.
THIS WAS THE VILLARAIGOSA TOOL FROM THE BEGINNING AND STILL IS AND WILL STILL BE. DON'T BE FOOLED.
PARKE PUTS ON A STORY, FINDS OUT THE REACTION THEN PRODUCES MAILERS THAT COMBATS ANY SUSPICIONS ON HIS CANDIDATE OR IDEAS, IT IS ACTUALLY AMAZING AT ALL THE SHIT THAT CAME OUT OF HERE THAT WAS ACTUALLY USED DURING THE CAMPAIGN WITH AV'S BLESSING.
THIS IS A SET UP. MEDIA BLOG CONTROL. YOU VENT, THEY LISTEN, AND WRITE MAILERS TO MANIPULATE YOUR SKEPTICISMS DOUBTS SUSPICIONS ON THEIR CANDIDATE. I SAY STOP BLOGGING AND GO OUT AND PARTICIPATE IN THE COMMUNITY INSTEAD OF HERE.
Do as I say, not as I do!
Pacheco is not even in office yet constituents were calling him for help while Antonio was off campaigning. That's why he has grass root support throughout the district. Little sleazy Huizy can get all the endorsements and money he wants. In the end experience and a record is what's going to win the race. JOSE HAS NEITHER. All of a sudden he's attending community meetings. He's been out of sight for too many years. He'll get slammed if he attends certain community meetings because they're are many in CD14 who can't stand him for doing nothing about Roosevelt High.
Pacheco will do fine, wish them the best on this campaign.
Who are the 12 candidates running for CD14?
When Wilson and Roosevelt High were being taken over by the state was'nt Nick the councilmember.
Nick does not care about public schools because he attended privates schools all his life.
I was informed that Wilson was taken over this year. And the principle that was fired years ago is good friends with Villaraigosa.
2:06 PM
Are you ignorant just today or always anon?
I do not know who was councilman during the take over of these high schools, the councilman is irrelevant for LAUSD issues. What I am more concerned is who was in charge of LAUSD during this take over. For example, was Huizar or another in charge during this time?
Now that is relevant because they are directly responsible for LAUSD decisions.
Stop the madness anon of shapeshifting the data...it is not that difficult just find out if Huizar was in charge in LAUSD or not during this other of many LAUSD crisis.
Jose Huizar is a nice guy. He treats people well and talks a good talk. My concern is that his only real test as an elected has been part-time job as Schoolboard member and he has been a very bad disappointment. He is owned by school construction companies and Riordan. As Councilmember, he will be owned by Villaraigosa.
The other issue is that he has yet to deliver. Talk is good on the campaign trail but we need action from our Councilmember.
Roosevelt was taken over by state THIS YEAR. It has the worst overcrowding in THE NATION. I'm still waiting for that list of accomplishments Little Jose has since being prez. Nice guy isn't going to do it for Little Jose. He can't even speak properly at community meetings. He stumbles just like Antonio does. Neither of them can say a word without reading from a piece of paper.
Team Pacheco greatest fear is "DA Mayor" love him or hate him.
Team Pacheceo Theme song Glory Days by the Boss.
Team Pacheco has become the Al Bundy of the 14th district always talking about the pass.
Glory Days is a good song. I like it alot. One must remember the past to figure where they are going.
I think a better name for Team Pacheco is "Fight The Power" by Public Enemy.
Why does the Huizar Team A.K.A CD14 Team hate Pacheco so much? If he was as worthless, corrupt and not a good councilman, why go after him any chance they can get?
My guess is they fear him because they know he was a good councilman and has the best chance to win so they are trying to tear him down.
Very sad to see.
I want my tree trimmed dammit! Stop spending time on Pacheco and listen to the residents who pay your salary.

Will the CD14 staffers please tell me why is Antonio's name still on flyers going out to the community? Apparently there is going to be another community cleanup in Northeast area on Aug 6th and Antonio's name is on the flyer as again a special guest appearance. Damn, Antonio is in CD14 more now then when he was councilman. Sure sounds like he can't let go of the control. Will Sleazy Huizy be right behind him. Antonio needs to concentrate on the city. Quick screwing around in CD14 and start doing your job. Its already been over a month and we're yet to see ONE thing you've done as MAYOR.

Team Pachueco needs a theme song for its remake of Tricky Nick and his Moby-Dick, but it should fit the story line. Think of your favorite revenge fantasy movies and TV shows, like Kill Bill, Walking Tall, The Equalizer, Man on Fire, Death Wish, etc., etc.

Whatever dude, get over it this is already a race and let the best man win.
Did Nick get his 2000 signatures this weekend?
-Boyle Heights
Jose Huizar at a breakfast meeting on Monday (5 people, Jose?) said that Antonio Villaraigosa would be endorsing him in August.
There are going to be fireworks Tonight at this meeting.
I hope Pacheco can pull this off. But the LA Times and Daily News will probably bury these items in the back of the paper when AV and JHuizar don't show up.
Jose will be there - he's the one that came up with the idea for the meeting in the first place.
It'll be interesting to see if the Gov. sends anyone - I doubt it. I don't think he would want the wrath of Mark and Ken on him for talking about he’s going to educate undocumented immigrants. And here I thought he would stay true to his campaign theme of being an immigrant and all the other shoe strap bullshit he muttered. Arnold – you’re a liar!
Gloria Romero will also be there, but this is the first I hear of MAV going.
To you Pachuecos in the know - what happened to the Baca endorsement??? I thought your boy had Lee in his back pocket? Up to today, I have not heard of ONE elected official – Latino or otherwise – having endorsed Nick. If they had, he would have sent the same press release out ten times – like he usually does.
So where are you in the signature gathering?
Jose will turn in more than enough signatures by Monday - I collected 50 by myself, in two hours, this weekend. How many volunteers were out walking with Team Pacheuco?
-Boyle Heights
How did it go?
Huizar signature gatherers told people he is the man for educating our childrean? Huh?????
Must have another Huizar on the ballot, right?
^ LOL, What a joke.
Huizar is nothing but a poverty pimp.
"There are going to be fireworks Tonight at this meeting.

I didn't see anything in the LA Times or Daily News.
