The Missing Councilman
Ever see those ads "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" well one of our local councilmembers has decided to give it a whirl.
Seems like Councilman Ed Reyes has decided to take an unexcused trip to Las Vegas. Not that i personally find anything wrong with it, but now there will be no council quorum tomorrow. So Friday will be a lame no-action day.
I just hope Councilman Reyes doesn't get a $20 Vegas hooker like another individual i know.

BECAUSE... JUST LIKE YOUR INTEGRITY; THEY DON'T EXIST!

For all you dumb dumbs out there - the issue is that because Ed left there won't be a quorum tomorrow which means that nothing can be voted on. It itsn't that he's going to vegas that's the problem, it's the fact that he didn't get excused like the other councilmembers.
This means that none of the airport or harbor comissioners can be approved until after reccess, and the pay raise for non-represented city employees can't be voted on either.
Thanks ED!!

The 80 Neighborhood watch spammer is annoying. Go research, didn't the Cyberlady tell someone to get evidence or something like that? I remember she did, so go get some evidence or something.
Yes, I found the post. It says you proved her wrong on evidence that AV said he initiated the 80 NW groups, but you need evidence to prove they don't exist. Go get evidence man!

We've got 12 other councilmembers, but CD14 doesn't have 12 other watches, not anyway in the district.

You are biased.
I wonder, Huizar and Pacheco supporters should ask those many questions blogged here at the next debate. Who monitors the questions given to these candidates?
Why not ask the tough questions to their face?
You would hold them accountable to the answer and there is no way turning back for them.

Some bloggers are upset with you from a past post on the 80 neighborhood watches, I understand their determination, although it gets repetitive it has opened a door that some will research.
Everyone is seeking proof as I, I'm doing my own research on certain issues that were brought up on this blog, I have run into many who are afraid to talk.

I am ABSOLUTELY certain that if we go through the list of people who have given money to Jose Huizar, we will find lawyers who represent pedofiles, rapists, and murders, etc., etc. Both had a LOT of lawyers on their initial contributions lists. Probably more than any other profession, since they both ARE lawyers.
Nick also PROSECUTED and put away some of those same kinds of lowlifes.
When did SLEAZY?
Shall we find out what ALL of those dozens of lawyers do for a living, hmmmmm?
I'm game, but if I find ONE attorney on Huizy's list that's every defended a pedofile, you have to 1) produce the 80 neighborhood watches, and 2) retire from the Mayor Sam's blog.

Chief Parker,
Although I don't need to prove anything to you, I do have more than $100,000 worth of cashed checks, not just check stubs. Were do you want to meet so that you can look them over. Nick never owned La Colectiva and Nick never owed any of the "kids" you keep mentioning. Xavier Becerra and his consultant Paige Richardson, skipped out on paying these kids around $60,000, and most of these kids were in there twenties.
A vote of all La Colectiva indepedent contractors was taken when Becerra failed to make the first payroll. It was explained that we could stop the campaign or we could keep on and hope to get paid. It was further explained that given the history of eastside campaigns, this was very unlikely. It was a unanimous, all 90 independent contractors voted to keep on going. Every independent contractor received some pay - most way up in the hundreds, many in the thousands. Not bad for unemployed "volunteers."
You keep posting your unfounded garbage and the next step is for our lawyers to take.
By the way, I hope Hiuzar is enjoying that campaign house I remodeled for him now that his headquarters is the former La Colectiva house. Name anyone who says he didn't get paid and if they were an independent contractor for La Colectiva, I'll have a cancelled check with their name on it.

Ahh...so it was all Xavier Becerra's fault, who at the same time was busy raising money -- way ahead of time -- for his reelection to Congress. If gooty -reese wasn't part of a sham mayoral candidacy whose only purpose was to hurt AV, then he got suckered too.
Anonymous said:
You're right, I did get suckered. Xavier was a dear friend and I made the mistake of taking the word of his campaign manager as his own word. I can still hear Paige, "We've got 1.4 million in the bank, don't worry about it."
I ran Xavier's field in his first campaign when he had a surprise victory in 1990. My dealings with him had always been honorable. If you do a little research in the Times, I did warn him about Paige, but he didn't listen - that's why the Marina message got out. And now somehow Nick gets stuck carrying his baggage.
By the way, in the 2001 Mayor's race, after the first Times poll, Xavier was even with Antonio, then he ran out of money. I still believe Xavier to be a good guy, but he didn't take responsibility. Now, to me, he has a character flaw. Especially because as you mention, he did keep raising money, much more than $60,000.

Martin Gutieruiz has done more good stuff and mentoring for kids in the community than anyone I know.
He mentored more young people involved in politics than anyone else I am aware of, including our current council president, city commissioners, and staffers all around the eastside.
Many of these kids were underprivileged or just plain poor kids who got whole news worlds opened up to them because of Martin's hiring practices and tutelage. He took a chance on these kids, and because of that, whole new worlds were opened to them.
It's a shame the way the press has skewered him and La Colectiva, but the truth will someday come out.
Don't ever forget - fame is fleeting. Our game is full of people who were one day on top who now cannot get their phone calls returned.
So get a little humility and remember that just four years ago, every politician from Gloria Molina to Lucille Roybal Allard hired Martin, a Princeton graduate, for his brilliant tactics and creative thinking.
I am sure as we "kids" mature and come to power ourselves, that day will come again. Say what you will, Martin was better than a king - he was kingmaker.

I attended the debate. It was a Huizar Rally. The only candidate that was able to get thier message across was Juan Jimenez . The questions were all mostly land use questions , but Juan was able to get his platform across very well. Through all of the attempts by the Boyle Heights neighborhood Council and the bOyle Heights Chamber of Commerce to try and stump them with the Land Use questions.
Many of us put forth questions , which were not asked , the majority of the people there, did not have their questions asked , it was a setup.
Anyway , I think that because of the inability for the pubic to have their questions asked , I have to give it to Juan Jimenez for allowing us to hear from him what he stands for insetead beig sidetracked by being stumped by the Land Use questions.

I am going to tell you why I am deathly afraid of JOse Huizar.
We have been making strides in Central City East . WE have taught our council people that it is those of us residents that live here who can make a diffrence in how we the low income residents and my neighbors who reside in the missions and on the streets relate in this changing communbity.
Wee can either continue to push the Homeless problem east to the river and BOyle HEights or those of us who reside here can push to make sure that the root cause of homelessness are tended to. WE are not afraid of the homeless, but if we are going to conitnue to be the centrralized homeless services part of town , we have got to take hold of this issue and deal with the criminals who come here to prey on us and the surrounding communities , because they do come here to hide. ANd they do prey on us.
People have been taught that we are not human biengs and that somehow we live here due to some morality problem , many of us are deaftly ill and can't afford to live anywhere else due to the housing crisis. People like me.
The two men who went around beating up on the weakest in society for no reason other than the thrill of it , by bashing one of my neighbors in the head over by the 3rd street tunnel , is just an example of why I don't want someone like JOse Huizar in the 14th Council district seat.
PAcheco now understand more than ever that it is quality of life, after having his chones handed to him during redistricting a couple of years back and afterwards he worked on a lot of issue for my community , working on getting the automated public toilet put here, working on apolan for homelessness , mving the midnight mission to 6th and SAn Pedro, so that many more people can use it's services and get clean and sober and wrk towards a living wage job. NIck Pacheco was there for us , now after being neglected by Antonio Villaraigosa , we have the opportunity to have him back. I think that NIck understands that ignoring Central City East is not the way to help our businesses Downtown and in Boyle Heights ,, we must deal iwth the root causes instead of making it somone elses problem.
Jose Huizar on the other hand is endorsed by Antonio Villaraigosa , who chose to ignore us here in Central City East. ANd not until my neighbor had his head bashed in did he have a press oncrference saying what happened was wrong. We have been preyed upon since he took office yet he did not address the issue. All I see is Antonio when I see Jose.
We need somoene who is going to stay to finish the work , JOse is too young and to think thatbhe will stay , is a wronmg assumption he will leave us. NIck PAcheco on teh Other hand or any other candidate will stay with us and work on the issues and follow through . Follow thorugh is part of leadership and professionalism and Jose Huizar has not followed through when it comes to the school board. We need committment and staying power.
We need a Nick PAcheco or a Juan Jimenez.
We shall see who comes and walks with us next month at teh central city east neighborhood watch walk at 6pm at the MIdnight mission the first wedensday of the month, I invited every candidate to come out ., that was there at the forum. We shall see.

To 10:23 pm:
Juan Jimenez getting his message across?! Oh my, now I know that the entire world blogs here (including him) because he definitely showed everybody how he is not ready for the big leagues.
Below is my breakdown of the candidates during tonight's forum. Clifford Moseley and Crystal Arceo were not in attendace. That was too bad, because Crystal is a cutie:
David Sanchez - that guy still thinks that his attempted takeover of Catalina Island was a success. All he could talk about was that big government is to blame and that the movie "Walk Out" is about his life (sorry, I thought it was about Sal Castro). Oh, nice touch with the movie extras being in the audience. VIVA LA CAUSA!
Nick Pacheco - He's an experienced attorney and a former elected official, so you know that he did what he had to do to get his message out. Took a few jabs at Villaraigosa and Huizar, but he was ok. He used the time limit wisely and got his points across. I bet that his volunteers are tired from standing on the side of the wall holding up his signs all night long and being rude to Huizar when he did his closing comments (something that the Huizar people didn't do to Nick during his closing comments).
Juan Jimenez - He's the one that spent most of the night attacking Huizar. He made it his mission to make sure that everybody knows that LAUSD and City Council are 2 separate governments. Ok, we know that. What else is new? I'm sure that all of his campaign material was created from Operation YES (t-shirts, flyers, etc.). Oh, there was some loud mouth in the back who just wouldn't shut up at the end, who I think was with "Johnny Jay".
Jose Huizar - Just like Nick, he used his attorney skills and experience from being an elected official to get his message across. Slammed home that he's tackled education when nobody wanted to, that 160 new schools are being built, and that his professional and educational background in planning make him the perfect choice. He had his posse out too (just as large as Nick's), but definitely didn't have the ghetto-ness of Nick's crowd.
Brian Heckmann - Probably the most genuine of the group. You can tell that he's new to the political scene because he spoke sincere and straight forward with the crowd (even got a few boos for it). I think what hurts him is that he has no name ID. If he stays active in CD14 after this election, I can see him running for office again in the future.
Randy Carrillo - This guy is really nice. He loves everybody and has roots in the district. You can tell that he doesn't have any political experience, is very religious, and has faith in youth. He's a good guy, but just way over his head on this one.
Ruby De Vera - Well, she always had well prepared answers. I'm sure that's due to her experience in government and the fact that it looked like she had every answer written down before the mic got to her. She had her friends and family there too, but I doubt that will help her break 5% districtwide.
Paul Gonzalez - Three words: DING DING DING! That's right folks, he talked about how his training for the Olympics makes him the perfect candidate for Councilmember. They even cut him off when he went over his time by making the bell sound... DING DING DING! I don't know if his head ever stopped dinging from his boxing career, but he does make you laugh.
All in all, it was a freakin' circus, one which I was glad I went to because I was laughing all night long. Whether it was the candidates or the crowd, it was all entertaining and somewhat informative.
I have no need to go to Power 106's Comedy Fiesta anymore: my laugh craving has now been satisfied for months to come!

dgarzila,
You have left me speechless, I commend you for posting and giving us insight into a world that many of us do not know. Nonetheless, I find your strong points as issues that have been neglected. It is unfortunate if our now mayor ex councilman ignored the homelessness issue at hand. I can only speak for myself, but reading your post has left me concerned on your issues. We will see who attends your invitation, it would be a negative for the candidates not to attend. I wish you success in your task of getting additional awareness on your points and we can all learn from reading your posts.

o.k. 11:46 pm.
The person in the bcak of the room aksing for the MOderator to ask the questions was me. I got so bored with listening to Jose Huizar speak about land use issues. There is more to cd 14 than that.
Many people came to me after the forum to thank me for speaking my mind. Because they alll did not have thier questions asked either.
AS far as ghetto is concerned , yawning is the wored for listening to Huizar. SAme thing over and over again , I am a land use attorney , I am a land use attorney I am a land ues attorney, I am a land use attorney , I am a land use attorney , I am a land use attrorney , all I kept seeing was ELI Broad in fron of my face. The medici , Belmont , Sci-arc, properties being bought for schools that are tainted, displacment of the poor. THe more I saw his other face , which is support for the developer and not the people.
Now as far as yelling , you are right. My neighbor had his head bashed in because people like ANtonio Villaraigosa and Jose Huizar and that idiot neighborhood council leader that chose which questions to answer , seeems to think homelessnes is not a problem, yet the candidates said over and over again that they would fight Downtown, yet what the poor people of Boyle Heights fail to realize is Jose Huizars plan for dealing with Homelessness downtown is to send them all to Boyle HEights. You see the 14th council district does include central city east( skid row).
As far as I am concerned it was a Jose huizar rally and not a forum thus once we got to the end I pretty much endorsed all of the candidates , considering they weren't able to speak on larger issues , such as homelessness, affordable housing, street cleaning, police and fire , budgettary problems within city hall, the problem with the schools not being built on the east side. Gentrification downtwon in the 14th council district.
I am sorry to say it but Juan JImeneze did a better job of even attemping to cover many issues other than , the fact that Jose Huizar is a land use attorney.
What we need are psecifics from Jose Huizar , yet we get nothing.

Richard Fausset does a good job on the story in today's LA Times.....
Huizar and Pacheco shared the stage with six of the 15 dark-horse candidates running for the seat. But Pacheco was able to direct some jabs specifically at Huizar.
"We don't have time for on-the-job training," Pacheco said, referring to Huizar's lack of City Hall experience.
Huizar shot back, saying he had overseen L.A. Unified's plan to build 160 new schools. "That's experience," he said.
Pacheco, who has blamed the district's poor performance on Huizar in the past, said district officials "think we should be impressed because they figured out how to build a school."
Pacheco said he would "build our children's minds" with a focus on charter schools.

Nunez, you are for open borders, licenses for illegals, and health benefits for them too. Why do you want our Governor Arnold to Declare a state of emergency at our borders? You have me confused there boy.
_________________________________
Núñez to governor: Declare emergency
Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez prodded Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger yesterday to join two other Southwestern governors in declaring a state of emergency over illegal immigration, a day after Schwarzenegger said such an action would be premature.
"California should join its neighboring states in pressing the Bush administration and the Republican-controlled Congress to develop a cooperative, fair and effective immigration policy with Mexico," said Núñez, D-Los Angeles, who plans to meet with Mexican President Vicente Fox next week in Mexico City.
In the past week, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, both Democrats, declared emergencies along their troubled borders with Mexico to free up law enforcement money.....

Is Nunez a liar? Ay dios mio...
_______________________________
"Right now, we are having the things somewhat under control, so there was no reason for it yet," Schwarzenegger said on the Rick Roberts show on radio station KFMB. "But if there is a reason for it, we definitely will do that."
Schwarzenegger spokeswoman Margita Thompson reiterated that position yesterday.
Núñez said an action would help Imperial County, which "has repeatedly asked the state to issue a declaration but has been rebuffed."
But Imperial County Supervisor Victor Carrillo and Roberta Burns, the county's chief executive officer, said the county has not made such a request since 1998.

Nunez did you bend over for this one?
___________________________________
That, in a nutshell, explains why the Democratic speaker of the Assembly, Fabian Núñez, quietly amended a bill this week to grant movie producers tens of millions of dollars in subsidies from a state treasury that already is drowning in red ink, with multibillion-dollar annual deficits.
Núñez is at odds with Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger - a towering movie figure himself - on virtually everything, but the two are joining forces on this movie industry handout, and with that strange-bedfellows alliance, the subsidy bill is likely to be whipped through the Capitol in the final few weeks of the session. Schwarzenegger advisers participated, along with the speaker's office and industry emissaries, in the drafting of the measure.

Eliot,
The man (Jose Huizar) your organization endorsed (Northeast Progressive Alliance) was the first to spread falsehood in this campaign.
You are right, he was born in Zacatecas, Mexico. But on his "Official" Campaign Flyers they say he was born and raised in the 14th Council District. Which on is it? Was he born in Mexico or 14th Council District? To my knowledge, they still have not been corrected.
I can name many falsehoods people have put up here about Councilman Nick Pacheco but you sure let those go by without a comment. Some of which include his stance on the ICO, if he created the CLARTS amenities fund, that he re-districted Antonio Villaraigosa out of CD14, etc., etc.
Huizar is misleading constituents. We should work to correct this issue first before moving on.

The Jose Huizar for City Council campaign flyer I'm reading at this moment says quite clearly, "born in Zacatecas, Mexico and raised in Boyle Heights." What could be more clear? And more to the point, what possible motive would a candidate have to obscure

I believe Jose is rightfully proud of his immigrant background, a background that is shared by many CD 14 constituents.

"An important step forward"
Author: Rosalio Muñoz
agree with the assessment that the most important differences in the Communist Party’s preconvention discussion center on the proposed adoption of the main strategic line of defeating the ultra-right section of transnationals and the Bush administration by building the broadest possible all people’s coalition led by labor allied with racially and nationally oppressed peoples, women and youth and others...
... As the re-assembling of the anti-Bush coalition has accelerated in recent weeks, more and more opportunities to participate meaningfully are opening up. During the lunch break at the East L.A. Villaraigosa for Mayor headquarters on Election Day, May 17, scores of volunteers were reading the PWW edition I had handed out. We all celebrated together at the victory party that night...

Fabian Nunez, Californian assembly speaker, is worse than Judas.
To:
Sen. Hillary Clinton
July 6, 2005
At least, after betraying Jesus Christ, Judas felt guilty and committed suicide, while, being a Catholic as most Mexicans are, Fabian Nunez, like other extreme socialists who feel sympathized and closer to communism cause, which has proved impractical and a disaster through the collapse of Soviet Union, than capitalism, has admired, praised, and defended the communist regime in Vietnam, which has arrested, tortured, and murdered thousands of Catholic priests and practitioners for their strong beliefs in God and religious freedom. For instance, just a few months ago, Fabian Nunez eagerly welcomed and was posed for pictures with Nguyen van An, the head of Vietnamese national assembly, which is nothing but a tool to say yes to any law or decision made by the communist party, during his visit to Sacramento last May. Moreover, he unsuccessfully tried to prevent Assemblyman Van Tran to criticize communist Vietnam for its poor records on human rights. While loudly demanding more human rights and protection for illegal immigrants, most of them from Mexico, Fabian Nunez has intentionally ignored and denied the same human rights for poor Vietnamese, especially the Catholics who are usually harassed by Vietnamese communists, who are atheists and have condemned religions as a dangerous type of drugs, which wrongly leads the mass away from class struggles against the rich. In their eyes, all Catholics are spies for Vatican, which still has no normal diplomatic relations with communist Vietnam, like all Protestants are working for the CIA. For instance, Father Nguyen van Ly spent more than 20 years in jail and is now under house arrest for his demanding more religious freedom in Vietnam and asking for the church’s property illegally confiscated by the authority returned. In fact, in 2000, Vietnam communist regime banned the late Pope John Paul II from visiting Vietnam, a country with 8 millions Catholics, for fears that the Pope would spread freedom and human rights values to Vietnam as he did to his homeland Poland, which is a decisive factor leading to the collapse of Soviet Union and the communist system. That is also why the new religious laws issued by the communist regime in 2004 limited all religious activities inside the church and outlawed all of religious activities at home. Another victim of communist oppression is Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, a Democrat, Catholic, and Mexican American like Fabian Nunez, but unlike him, she has showed sympathized for the sufferings of Vietnamese people and criticized the Vietnam authority for its very poor records on human rights, and thereby has been repeatedly denied visa to Vietnam. It is quite a terrible shame for California to have Fabian Nunez as the House Speaker since he is really a hypocrite and a big liar who does not represent and work for the interests of California and America but for his motherland Mexico and his extreme socialist cause.

Watch this video as Fabian Nunez and Juan Jose Gutierrez talk during the playing of the National Anthem (U.S., at a rally protesting the passage of California Prop. 187 in 1994) and raise fists and cross hearts during the playing of the Mexican National Anthem. (Nunez is behind Gutierrez, but it is clear what he is doing.)

Holy shit, now I don't feel bad reading the Pacheco-istas bullshit, because the wacko posting on AV's past is out of his or her mind! Seriously, take the meds, ese!

There's some VERY basic concepts you're missing, 1:29 p.m. and you need to clear your head to keep from looking like a moron again.
It's like in school where they told you -- "all rectangles have four sides, but not everything that has four sides is a rectangle." If you went to LAUSD, they may have skipped that to do more testing.
Not all people who oppose Villaraigosa are Pacheco supporters (by FAR). Not all people who think Huizar is unqualified to run CD14 are anti-AV. Not all Pacheco supporters opposed Antonio for mayor. Not all pro-AV people are that enthused with Huizar. And, many AV-supporters would now welcome Pacheco back.
Nothings that simple... unless you're simple-minded.

Blah, blah, blah....you bored me with your response.
AV's MECHA crap is old news, so please get over it and provide us with some meaningful conversation rather than bringing this crap up over and over. NOBODY CARES! He's the mayor of LA, so please turn the page, cowboy!

Yes we care! That's why the posters are posting this news. You don't care to hear it, it's like a slap in your face with the truth!
Perfect response 1:42. This other poster fails to see that it is not just two types of voters.
From
Pacheco voter who voted 4 Villaraigosa.

As I said before, BLAH, BLAH. Never any substance from Pacheco followers. I don't get it. Do you honestly think you can recall AV because of his past? Understandably, you're upset that MAV kicked Nick out of office, but get over the grudge and move on already! The truth of the matter is that AV is mayor, and Huizy will win CD 14 because he is not Pacheco (aka Mr. Torcido).

All I have to say is that my vote is going to BRIAN HECKMANN. He actually looks like he cares and doesn't look like of the kind of politician that only cares about himself and elections. He sincerely appears that wants to help the community and my full support and hats off to him.
