Pacheco's Pay to Play
Los Angeles Wholesale Produce Market
In his last days in office, Nick Pacheco and Jim Hahn pushed through a no-bid sale of the city-owned Los Angeles Wholesale Produce Market that robbed Los Angeles taxpayers of at least $2 million. Now Pacheco’s campaign is being funded by merchants of the market who became co-op owners through the sale.
Pacheco Pushes Produce Market Sale
According to the LA Times, pushed the sale of the Los Angeles Wholesale Produce Market, which the city owned since the mid-1980’s, for several years. In 2002, the Council determined that the sale should go forward without competitive bidding.
The city built the Los Angeles Wholesale Produce Market in the 1980s after local wholesale produce vendors threatened to leave the city in search of a better facility. Since then, 25 vendors have operated out of the market, selling vegetables and fruit.
For the last two years, Pacheco has been pushing the city to sell the produce market, hoping to use the money to finance the construction of the Youth Opportunities Center in Boyle Heights, a facility that would house programs to help at-risk youths.
(Matea Gold, “Some Question Deal to Fund Firefighters,” Los Angeles Times, June 3, 2003)
Produce Market Tenants Contributed $10K to Pacheco’s Campaign
The Times also reported that the deal would benefit Pacheco’s campaign contributors. Tenants at the market had contributed $10,000 to Pacheco.
The sale will benefit a group of Pacheco's political contributors who lease the 30-acre Los Angeles Wholesale Produce Market, a sprawling complex on Olympic Boulevard that the city has owned since the 1980s.
…The tenants include several wholesale produce operators who have donated more than $10,000 to Pacheco's campaigns. Mayor James K. Hahn, and Council President Alex Padilla have also received substantial contributions.
(Matea Gold, “Some Question Deal to Fund Firefighters,” Los Angeles Times, June 3, 2003)
Rival Developer Pledged to Pay $2 Million More
When the Council decided to sell the market, it opted not to conduct an open bidding process to secure the maximum sale price for the market. After the City appraised the market at $18 million, a rival developer pledged to pay $2 million more.
NOW PACHECO RECEIVES THOUSANDS IN CAMPAIGN DONATIONS
Nick Pacheco’s first campaign contributions come from these same tenants who benefited from the no-bid sale he pushed through. Pacheco’s very first campaign report shows him receiving thousands of dollars in donations from the following tenants.
Lena Antoci – Citrus House - $500 - June 30th 2005
Doug Baba – Coast Produce - $500 - June 30th 2005
California Certified Farmers Markerts - $500 - June 30th 2005

Chief, why don't you put out what really happened. These were small time produce vendors who had been promised this land in the past for staying put and they were up against Muruelo. Muruelo wanted to buy this property and Nick and Hahn fought for the little guys. Why do you edit the story and leave out that the rival developer was Muruelo. And there wasn't much of a rivalry, he was up against mom and pop produce vendors.
You want a pay to play story, what about Huizar's sister getting above market value for her house when LAUSD bought it. I haven't seen any school go up on this property.
Just another cheap shot by Parke Skelton and his crew. How many contractors involved with new school construction contributed to Huizar?
Anonymous said:
Nick lost the city $2 miilion? All because he stood up for the little guy. How much did Tony lose because he did nothing on the transportation committee, $7 million?
Chief Parker, you're showing your true colors again. Anything Nick does is crooked in your eyes. Why don't you try focusing on Huizar, he's still named in a lawsuit right. Nick has been investigated over and over again and yet nothing. This must really have your panties up in a bunch.
Wait until the campaign hits really start. Huizar already has demonstrated in the debates that he can't handle the heat. But too bad, he's already in the kitchen, and he is no Tony. Keep up your Nick attacks, they pale in comparison to what is known about Huizar.

You're right Chief Parker. Nick was out there fighting for the little guy against Muruelo. You know, the guy that Huizar let buy Taylor Yard - the once future sight of Glassell Park High School. Will you be around when LAUSD buys that property from Muruelo at a nice profit? Muruelo himself said that LAUSD - when Huizar was school board president - dropped the ball. Well Nick didn't drop the ball for the little guy. Do you think Huizar knows any little guys?

A labor poll my ass. Maybe it was done by Ludlow but it wasn't a labor poll. Not with the questions they were asking. It was a CD14 Huizar poll, so where are the results? Do they mirror Nick's 49% to Huizar 19% results.

All campaigns have a war room. And if you're up against Parke Skelton, you need a truth squad also. It doesn't take much to prepare for Chief Parker, just look at all his posts which have been blown out of the water. There are bigger fish out there in Huizar's ocean. Look for a lawsuit against Parke before this race is through.

I, unlike most of you jokers, have actually seen the toplines of two recent polls in the 14th. Both show Pacheco with a lead, as expected, but Huizar has already closed it up to about 10 points. One survey was 41 Pacheco - 32 Huizar. Another was 43 Pacheco; 31 Huizar.
Huizar is closing fast.
And what both polls show is that the Pacheco support is very soft and based on higher name ID, and that when people get even a minimum of information about Jose, the race closes to even.
If Pacheco is such a slam dunk winner, why is NO ONE who supported him in 99 or 03 with him today (with the exception of 1/2 of Lee Baca.)
Anonymous said:
Puzzling. Why do you think one of the city's largest lobbyists, Steve Afriat, would want to take on the Mayor and the Council President and 8 other Council members, labor, the Democratic Party and just about every elected official in the city to run a campaign for Pacheco. Afriat doesn't make his living doing campaigns and he makes plenty of money represneting strip clubs and developers, he doesn't need the work. And on top of that he's going to get crushed. Doesn't seem like a very smart move.

These aren't the polls that we've seen. And if Pacheco's support is so soft, why is Huizar so nervous.
Regarding why nobody is with him from 1999 or 03, don't you think Parke's slime machine has scared people. Look at what they did against Nick in 2003 and Hahn this year. Any guess on when any of these idictments will come down. They slime people with lies and half truths and they have gotten away with it. Don't you think that people that really have something to hide - like Padilla, like Romero and even Roybal-Allard, will endorse whoever Tony the Liar endorsed just to be on the safe side. These are consumate politicians, just out to protect there asses.
The main difference in this campaign and why Nick will win is that Huizar actually has to convince people - not an easy task given his record, Nick just has to raise enough money to harvest the votes that are already out there for him.

Great stuff 80watches. The fund that Wendy Gruel set up for left over revenue from cty departmentts is a joke. Like Hertzberg has said a dozen times the city has 14% MORE revenue so why not take some of that extra money for more cops.
I say go after those damn special event waivers that our tax dollars pay. Daily News did a story and stated that the city spends $9 million in those FREE permits. Special event waivers were implemented for non profits but now city council members are giving them away like candy. Bitter Bernie has tons of them for USC (richest school in nation.) Padilla gave free permit to LA Marathon for $100,000 knowing full well the org. is worth millions. And little Antonio gave away another $80,000 free permit to the Broadway Fiesta again that was sponsored by corporate companies. As much as I don't like Weiss he's the only one speaking out and saying the special event waivers are being abused.

Really, where can I find this bit of info and where is this money coming from? Is it from trimming departments down? Property Taxes? And with that in mind I think Hahn didn't do to bad a job of taking care of the city but he was careless.

Parker's not nearly as committed. He wouldn't want to ever run into "Watcho" in an alley, although the reverse seems true. "Watcho" seems like he would also like to literally slit Skelton's throat.

JOSE HAS ISSUES (finally). . .
But still no "record" -- oh well, we're only halfway to the primary vote. There's time!
José Huizar - Fighting for Reform in the LA School District
Elected to serve our community on the Los Angeles School Board in 2001, José Huizar took on the failing downtown bureaucracy and fought for better and safer schools, stronger fiscal accountability, greater opportunities and educational justice for our children.
* Huizar forced the school district to raise academic standards and make college preparatory classes available for all children.
* Huizar fought to build new schools to relieve overcrowding in our neighborhood for the first time in over 20 years.
* Huizar demanded that highly qualified teachers were assigned to every community.
* Huizar exposed the LA School District's shameful dropout rate and forced the District to begin addressing the problem.
José Huizar - For a Safer Community
As a School Board member, José Huizar added many new School Police Officers and expanded anti-gang programs. As our City Councilman, José Huizar will make hiring more police his top budgetary priority. José Huizar will also expand after school tutoring and recreation programs. He'll work to identify potential gang members early and get them the additional help they need to make better choices.
José Huizar - For Educational Justice
José Huizar will continue his fight to reform LA's schools as a member of the City Council. He will join with Mayor Villaraigosa to hold the school district accountable for the academic success of our children. He'll work with the School District to jointly develop library, parks and job internship programs.
José Huizar - For Better Transportation
José Huizar will work for a rapid completion of the Eastside Gold Line light rail and the extension of the Pasadena Gold Line. He supports making the MTA the nation's most advanced and cleanest bus system and expanding neighborhood DASH bus services. José Huizar will work for common sense solutions to traffic gridlock, like prohibiting road construction during rush hours, improving traffic signalization, creating more left hand turn lanes and expanding car and van pools.
José Huizar - For Quality Affordable Housing
L.A. needs more and better housing that working families can afford. He'll support programs to rehabilitate existing rental housing for families and workers and fully fund the LA Housing Trust Fund to assist first time homebuyers. José Huizar will work to crack down on slumlords and enforce health and safety codes. And José Huizar will work for innovative solutions, like the reuse of historic commercial buildings, for housing and mixed-use zoning.

Pacheco HAS a reputation in CD14 -- a damn good one, and name recignition. Huizar has neither and he served for the same number of years. Pacheco had top activitist from every single community in CD14 stand up at his kickoff and each recite dozens of benefits to their community while Nick was in office.
When you have that kind of a record of accomplishments -- a Website is icing on the cake (Huizar's cake is still a BUN in Parke Skelton's oven).
Ask people what Huizar has done in four years, and they can't even begin to answer. He isn't missing a window in his house -- he's just a pane!
