Cost of Doing Business
Anita Vogel spotlights Mayor Villaraigosa in a clip compiled for Fox News Channel entitled "Campaign Promises - How far should taxpayers finance Mayor Villaraigosa's dreams for L.A.?"
Here's the accompanying story also on their site. A bit of the intro to get you started:
LOS ANGELES -- Nearly two months since his inauguration as the first Latino mayor of Los Angeles in more than 100 years, Antonio Villaraigosa faces the daunting and expensive task of delivering on his campaign promises.Blog Away!
Curbing crime, fixing public education, planting one million trees and reducing traffic on the nation's most overcrowded highways were hefty promises to make, and they all carry hefty price tags for a city already $300 million in debt.
"I'm never going to settle for mediocrity. I'm always going to set the bar high, as we should. If the leader of the city doesn't set the bar high then, who will? That's what people want us to do," said Villaraigosa, who was sworn in on July 1 as the state's 41st mayor.

This story had no beef. It was just filler.
How did we get $300 million in debt? Already people who voted for Antonio are saying he is "all talk." He made promises to CD 14 then did nothing. I would have thought by now he would have done something big but if you look at Jimmy Blackman's highlights its all just paper pushing.
Anyone trying to evauate Antonio's performance as Mayor in this short transitionary period is just blowing smoke.
It will take at least two years before any meaningful assessment can be made.
They are still getting rid of the Kiddie Korps and cleaning out the land mines left behind by the previous administration.
It is just guessing at this stage.
"How did we get $300 million in debt? Already people who voted for Antonio are saying he is "all talk."
I wonder that too, the city will be $300 Million in debt if he allows his Union Buddies in at the DWP to get their way.
Again this AV is just like George Bush, operating on fear. Throw in a bogus claim like the 'city is in debt' or 'the kids need better education' and taxpayers will easily fool themselves into voting yes for a Tax increase or floating bonds.
Oh! 8:03 Not True. Your post smells of cream on an overcooked caked. Make that burnt!
He is toast, did have a dream to get elected at all costs. Costs!
You don't get it. Villaraigosa wants his REVOLUCION. He is the Anti-American disguised as the mainstream to gain momentum and promote chaos. Look at his background, his current commission picks, and behavior. The last Police Commission meeting was the oddest behavior yet, I fear there's more to come.
Are you enjoying today's posts Parke and Villaraigosa?
The senate is delaying Gloria Romero's SB767 reforms. Why? Hesitation?
Villaraigosa wants no part in LAUSD. He does not want this to ruin his political career. He promised us change, he will not deliver. I have no idea why mainstream media does not see the complete hypocrisy and lack of integrity that Villaraigosa has.
Promised to make changes in LAUSD, but no way Jose, he will not touch this puppy, it can hurt him.
Do you see the picture here?
VILLARAIGOSA DURING CAMPAIGN-
___________________________________
Mayor Villaraigosa wants control over the Los Angeles Unified School District--even as much as appointing its leadership.
&
Earlier this week, Mayor James Hahn said he would support a charter amendment allowing the mayor to appoint three additional members to the Los Angeles Unified School District board and create five new charter campuses each year.
Villaraigosa said he would go even further and would back a charter amendment giving the mayor direct authority over the schools, similar to systems in Chicago and New York City.
"I think there is a critical mass of support out there where people want to see one person accountable," Villaraigosa said during a news conference at Animo School South in South Los Angeles. "I think that should be the mayor."

VILLARAIGOSATODAY:
___________________________________
Villaraigosa won't back LAUSD bill
SACRAMENTO - Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa came out Wednesday against a bill that would give him the authority to appoint the Los Angeles Unified School District board, even as the bill cleared another committee hurdle.
During his recent campaign, Villaraigosa supported the concept of giving the Los Angeles mayor the authority. But Wednesday morning, his office lobbied legislators to vote against the bill when it came up before the Senate Education Committee.
"Many of my colleagues said, 'Where is the mayor?' If the mayor doesn't want it, this bill will die at some point," Romero said. "I think that would be a major disappointment for me, and, I think for parents and students of this district."
The bill is not expected to come to a floor vote before the Legislature ends the first year of its two-year session Sept. 9, but will be taken up again in January.
Romero's office said it has additional legal opinions finding the measure would pass constitutional muster.
But Romero said she was "stunned" to hear during the middle of the committee debate that Villaraigosa is now opposing the bill and said she had not heard directly from the mayor or his office.
Higher taxes?
No higher taxes, absolutely not! AV do not sneek in a bill or two, your Huizar better stop the crap too, he'll lose the election at this rate. Dumb staff.
Villaraigosa's best buddy Fabian Nunez off to Mexico. Will he also tell Mexico how to run government? I do not see that happening. He kisses their ass. Many of us hope that he goes to Mexico and tells Vicente how burdensome the tax laws which he promised in 2000 are to the poorest of Mexico citizens. Mexico thinks we are tax mongers, they are the worst and Fabian is probably brokering a deal between Mexico and U.S. Western Unions for all those DINEROS going back home at an interest. Western Union makes money and so does MEXICO big business. Fabian also has family involved in Tijuana with the Arellano Felix.
Big Unions own Fabian Nunez
THE REAL NUNEZ:
Hanretty also complains that Nuñez can talk conciliation in English but say something very different in Spanish.
During Nuñez’s December 2003 visit to Mexico City, the La Crónica de Hoy newspaper reported that he said: “I have already personally declared political war on Schwarzenegger .?.?. that is the reason I was elected by my supporters. This is only the beginning of the confrontations with Governor Schwarzenegger. In a meeting I had with him, I advised him that Democrats will not allow him to step on our principles, which are to defend the rights of immigrants and Californians.”
FABIAN LIKES TO DISH OUT BUT CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT...HMMMM SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER CRY BABY (LLORON!)
The Weekly shadowed Nuñez earlier this summer to get a bead on this little-known politician who has emerged as one of the most important figures of post-recall California, at one point catching up with him right after a very contentious encounter with the Terminator. Nuñez, mindful of risks for Democrats and widespread disdain for both the Legislature and the governorship, was in the Governor’s Office to negotiate an end to the special-election showdown. At one point, Nuñez decided to confer privately with his colleague, state Senate President Don Perata, outside the governor’s earshot. So they stepped out of the room and left Schwarzenegger cooling his heels, a tactic that he was not used to in his Hollywood heyday and distinctly does not enjoy.
They returned after about a half-hour to resume talks about the November 8 election. Schwarzenegger made a crack about the former labor official Nuñez checking in with “union bosses.” Nuñez took offense, saying he didn’t have to listen to that kind of “bullshit,” and he and Perata stormed out. As they did, Schwarzenegger called after them: “You are dismissed.”
NUNEZ TAKING POINTERS FROM WARREN BEATTY...PATHETIC...WHAT YOUR UNION BOSSES DIDN'T CALL EARLY ENOUGH B4 THE MEETING.
Later, Nuñez takes a call from Warren Beatty to discuss “the State of Arnold.” The Oscar-winning director and movie star had advised Nuñez to reveal the secret negotiations. In part, he argued, it would prevent administration conservatives from strangling a deal before it ever saw light. And it also would prevent Arnold and company from claiming that the Democrats weren’t willing to compromise, as Schwarzenegger’s staff had been doing.
Attn: Fabian Nunez,
When you sit down with Vicente Fox, show him this video. He will be so proud of you.
Daddy Chente will hug you, or am I wrong, kick you in the ass for exposing your cover!

Sorry bloggers,
Antonio is on vacation, he will not take calls at this moment. Please try again later.
BEEP!
I see there is no mention that Huizar has "Dumped" his Inept Staff.
Day Four begins and nothing. Come on Jose...Just Do It.
Rid yourself of the 4 stooges:
1) Laura (Ghetto girl) Barrera;
2) Alvin (Time has gone and come) Para;
3)Monica (No experience) Garcia and finally;
4)David (Friend of Albert Robles) Cobb.
Alot of us are counting on you Jose. We want you to win, but have no confidence in your handlers...don't let them fuck this up for you.
There was a poll out done by "The Public Policy Institute of California" showed a so called discontent with our Governors performance and two bills.
Have you seen who is on this Board at the Public Policy Institute of California? Yes, Fabian and Villaraigosa Friends...How credible can this Sham of a poll be? How many of them other than also being related to some of the Mayor's close friends gave money to Fabian and Villaraigosa in their campaigns?

Antonio can "set the bar" as high as he wants.
The unit of "measure" doesn't matter is you never get off the starting blocks.
NOTHING accomplished in CD14 in two full years. I'd settle for a more realistic goal, and some movement towards it. But "movement" is a foreign concept to a no-progress "progressive" like AV.
Manuel Pastor is very good comrade w/Villaraigosa.
Hey Pargue Esqueleto looks like my tio Juan.

The late Frank del Olmo is remembered at the Times as a huge party animal. Before his second marriage, he lived in a tiny grubby apartment and chased chicks, including some secretaries who worked at the Times. He eventually landed the most beautiful of them -- she looked like Maude Adams, about 5'7" in high heels -- as his second wife. They had a tempestous relationship. His third marriage was to the mildly attractive Magdalana, the J-school graduate of his alma mater Cal State Northridge. They were a Latino power couple who created the Latino Fund with other Latino power couples (including the Villaraigosas).
Magdalena is Latina. Linda Breakstone once told me years ago that Frank had become obsessed with finding a Latina wife. I guess Linda qualified, being that her maiden name was Bustamante. You can talk to Latino pyschologists, some of whom will tell you that Latinos who marry non-Latinos ultimately wind up looking for the Latina wife, be it guilt for whatever.
Is this top 25 list supposed to be in order of importance? What was the criteria for inclusion?
One standard is who will have some influence on the next presidential race and the Latino vote in particular. That would blow most the names off the list to make room for Henry Cisneros, Ken Salazar, Robert Menendez, Janet Murguia, Arturo Vargas, Ann Marie Tallman, Maria Echaveste, Lincoln Diaz-Balart, Tony Garza, Dennis Rivera, Danny Villanueva, Hector Barreto, Roel Campos, Thomas Castro, Gloria Molina, etc.
AND DANNY VILLANUEVA HAS A BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP WITH RICHARD MERUELO "TAYLOR YARD..."
But earlier this year, that property sold -- along with two nearby parcels -- to Merco Group LLC, a firm set up by developer Richard Meruelo and Daniel Villanueva, according to Ken Jackson, director of sales at Dynamic Builders Inc., which sold the properties. Mr. Villanueva is chairman of a private-equity investment firm, Bastion Capital Fund L.P.
Why didn't Robin Kramer get a star?
BULLSHIT BIASED POLL FEEDED TO THE MEDIA AS NEG ABOUT GOVERNOR...JUST IN LAST HOUR ARE THEY NOW SAYING STATE LAWMAKERS (FABIAN NUNEZ) ARE WORSE.
Villaraigosa Rounds Out His Team
Robin M. Kramer, who held the same job in the Riordan administration, will be his chief of staff. He also names education and economic aides
Mayor-elect Antonio Villaraigosa tapped a group of Los Angeles City Hall veterans Friday for his senior staff, naming Robin M. Kramer as his chief of staff, a job she held under Mayor Richard Riordan.
Kramer, who has been heading Villaraigosa's transition team, will oversee a staff that includes Marcus Allen and Jimmy Blackman as deputy chiefs of staff. Allen is the top deputy to City Controller Laura Chick, and Blackman is chief of staff for Villaraigosa's council office

Will you stop it anon! Huizar told us this morning to ignore this type of information and to focus on the campaign. He is not dumping any of us you moron!
Join In on the "Dump Huizar's Inept Staff" Movement. It is not too late to win Jose.
More info to come on call to action.
Look! Stop it! I think Jose is a nice guy. He may have problems with things but has a nice smile and shakes hands. He siad he won't be letting us go and not to listen to rumors.
It's his lost and Nick's gain.
We don't want that.
Jose should win, but lots of people have no confidence in his handlers (inept staff).
Too many goof ups already and the serious shit hasn't happened.
Curios El Sereno renter
Who in the El Sereno Neighborhood Council supports Huizar?
An anon on the other thread said Padilla has sores
yeah and another asked if the poster was blowing him. that would provide great insight don't you think?
Are they talking about Marco Firebaugh with sores?
Westsider
I'm not glad Villaraigosa spoke at all...it is all BS...taking credit for other's long hard work.
Why is the city in debt 300M?
Why is he appointing people that have made BIG contributions to his campaign?
Why is he using his friends spouses to do the dirty work and spin for Nunez?
What happend to his blatant lie...he wants control of LAUSD, yea right. It was a ploy to get elected. Now he runs like a chicken and will not endorse Romero's Bill..
No, I wish he would not speak at all that chaparrito 5'2" con artist.

John Talmadge is still a poof.
E-mails flying about how Antonio sat and did nothing when those radical blacks threatened to burn down the city, go to police officer's homes to get them, shut down the city and yelling and screaming racist remarks at new police commission. What kind of wimpy leader can just sit there and say nothing? He looked scared shitless. AT least you gotta give Hahn credit for getting out there and calming the community down in South LA. These same Nation of Islam radicals threatening this city were the same ones standing behind Antonio during some of his campaign press confere.

Ok 3:59 You are getting just as annoying as the 80 watches, one of "chiefs" multiple personalities. I have a solution.

Hey, what happened to that person that wrote on Padilla's sores?
Let's get back to the meat of this thread this $300 Million debt.
"How did we get $300 million in debt? Already people who voted for Antonio are saying he is "all talk."
I wonder that too, the city will be $300 Million in debt if he allows his Union Buddies in at the DWP to get their way.
Again this AV is just like George Bush, operating on fear. Throw in a bogus claim like the 'city is in debt' or 'the kids need better education' and taxpayers will easily fool themselves into voting yes for a Tax increase or floating bonds.
300 Million in debt. Did you think Villaraigosa wasn't going to find a way to pay back the campaign contributions some of his friends and families made?
City Terrace is County not City.
City Terrace? I attended LAUSD so go figure. I don't know shit! My 2003 diploma is probably no good too.
Barr’s small school idea has gotten results. As the CEO of Green Dot Schools, he has launched six charter schools in the L.A. area. The Amino South L.A. Charter High School has a student-to-teacher ratio of 21:1 and a 90 percent graduation rate while being comprised of students with nearly identical standardized test scores as Jefferson students. Barr views Green Dot as doing “research and development” for the school district, and would like to one day turn his charter schools over to the LAUSD, but “not this LAUSD.”
Barr suggests the district has the resources to transform itself into a national leader in education. With a recently passed $14 billion school bond, the district is undergoing a “big dig” initiative, adding or modernizing nearly 1,000 schools district-wide. And Villaraigosa had been pushing for mayoral control of the district, which Barr saw as a good sign, but has since backed off. “[The mayor’s office and LAUSD] are killing the schools by being inactive,” Barr says.
http://www.lacitybeat.com/article.php?id=2526&IssueNum=116
Why did Villaraigosa order 90 surveillance cameras? Isn't this a lot of money?
where are the cameras going?
Whoever posted the Boyle Heights Neighborhood Council names supporting Jose is full of shit. These names are from an old DONE website and a lot of the names aren't even on the NC any longer. Funny cause whoever posted is so dumb (A Jose supporter) listed Juan Jimenez who is a candidate running against Jose. This is a very old list. Fact is NC reps can't endorse any political candidate stating they are from a NC.
In El Sereno, the NC President Alvin Parra is endorsing, consulting, and volunteering in Huizar's campaign.
4:42 p.m., the 90 surveillance cameras are to "watch" the fake 80 neighborhood watches. Isn't that obvious?
We've been through this before A-holes, listen up AGAIN.
Any Neighborhood Council board member CAN endorse any candidate they want to -- they're volunteers, unpaid, and HELL, city council members can endorse.
ONLY the NC as a WHOLE cannot vote to endorse any specific candidate.
Now that you know that, CONSIDER this, as far as what it means.
The average NC board member in CD14 got elected to their position by getting ONLY 100 VOTES on average from communities that average 35,000 residents or so, in elections that MAYBE 500-800 people voted in TOTAL.
SO what does the endorsement of an NC board member that almost NO ONE in the NC voted for mean?
Don't mean SHIT! Want proof??
More CD14 NC board members endorsed HAHN for Mayor in 2005, than endorsed VILLARAIGOSA, and AV got more than TWICE as many votes than Hahn (out of the measly batch of di hards that bothered to vote.
WANT MORE PROOF. Tough!
Anyone who needs more proof than THAT is too stupid to "fix."
Look at the numbers in CD14 on the Hahn/Villaraigosa election. Antonio didn't get as many as the registered voters in the district, far from it. Wasn't it only 25%
YOU'RE WRONG ON THE Boyle Heights Neighborhood Council endorsements of Hahn. NC reps CANNOT use their neighborhood council to endorse a candidate. That will mislead people to believe your entire board supports your candidate. However, they can state they are from a NC but they are acting as a resident of etc. etc.
7:27 You're misinformed AND stupid.
Bob Hertzberg had NC people from every NC in the Eastside "endorsing" him on his web site before the primary. Is was shown her, linked, and a fact. Sorry you can't handle that.
DONE has spoken on all this, repeatedly, and said -- as long as the endorsment doesn't say the WHOLE NC has endorsed someone -- it's fine.
EACH was listed as being a board member of a specific NC.
End of story. ANY board member CAN and many DO endorse, and they list themselves as JUST what they are (XYZ Neighborhoood COuncil).
Quote from MAV today from the education council meeting,
"I will take over the LAUSD school district very soon, but it's not going to be a top-down approach."
He also mentioned that he knew Romero's proposal was unconstitutional almost two months ago.
Lastly, he mentioned when school starts, he will be building consensus around the governance issue with parents and teachers, which current polls he was privy to show NO support for the mayor taking over. He will be visiting 16 schools on Sept. 6 and 16 more the next day. He's building consenus that the status quo will no longer be accepted. He also mentioned that he will not make his case for LAUSD takeover in the media, but rather in his meetings with parents and teachers. (Note, 3 UTLA folks were at the meeting and MAV clearly stated that "union folks [UTLA] are not going to be happy, but that's ok because even my wife disagrees with the idea that the mayor should be in charge of the school district."
That quote means shit...he has no balls to take over lausd.
