Questions for Huizar
What is in the mind of Jose Huizar?
Follow this link to his "records" page or his "issues" page and you'll find "under construction" banners. Take one look at the accompanying picture and you'll get a vague idea that he doesn't know either...
What is he subliminally telling us? Probably that he doesn't have a clue...

This should come as no suprise. Soon, there will be a link to Villaraigosa's web page.
That's ok, because Huizar will trounce Pacheco when it counts!
....Yet that was little league compared to a second debate held on Thursday in Boyle Heights. Huizar, thinking he had a strong point, boasted of his endorsement from Villaraigosa, only to be showered with a huge, sustained chorus of boos. Seems there's a bit of displeasure over the councilman who wasn't there.
Odder, however, was a giggle that frequently skipped into Huizar's comments on Monday night. It may have been nerves (the laughter was gone on Thursday), but it was off-putting to see a big grin and hear a chuckle when he uttered lines such as, "At the LAUSD I've felt the frustration of parents who have to deal with the bureaucracy." He even managed a laugh in the dry phrase, "I actually moved a school district regulation..."
Although he wasn't in the room, Villaraigosa did figure in the debate. Pacheco had a sort of passive-aggressive approach. On certain questions he seemed supportive, such as when Pacheco said he would cede to the mayor in efforts to save the Southwest Museum in Mt. Washington, recognizing that Villaraigosa has the "biggest bat."
Pacheco is eager to distance himself from an ill-fated alignment with the Thever & Associates law firm as well as disassociate himself from an ethics probe resulting from that last District 14 race.
Pacheco’s perspective tends to be meta. This former prosecutor is more concerned about illegal taco vending in Highland Park...
TACO VENDING, NICK?
"ethics probe" there's that dishonest weasel wording again... SO much a park of porke Skelton's dead-end bag of tricks.
What the the result of the PROBE?
Nothing, nada, zilch.
but the Parke-sters NEVER tell you the whole story.
More bullshite from the Villaragosa-lite (Huizar) camp!
If Pacheco's opposition to taco vending is for real, I will picket his campaign office. The taco trucks on Figueroa are the bomb.
The fast-food, and late-night, dining options in the Arroyo are severly limited. It's either 7-eleven or Jack-in-the-Box past 9 p.m.
I know they can give you the runs every now and again, but those things keep this neighborhood going. Every night of the week, families and single guero's (like me) line up to get some of the best, cheapest, food in the city. It's roadside gourmet (with free radishes and cucumbers).
Why not develop a program that allows the Roach-Coach owners to pass health inspections and park in spots set aside for them. After all, ain't this the country that's supposed to be all about the "ownership society" and free enterprise?
I was not at the debate. Was Huizar really booed? Was he nervous after?
I think Jose is a great person but when he surrounds himself with crappy staff, including ghetto girl Laura Barrera, it leaves an impression on you.
Jose best be is to reach out to real staffers who have experience in hard core campaigns to help, that may include the Mayor's folks.
Dump Laura, Monica, Alvin and David.
A supporter who cares.
ubrayj02
Taco trucks on Figueroa and the one's on York are all good. Estrellas Tacos are the best.
I was willing to help Huizar but when I heard Alvin Parra was involved my friends and I said, "forget it!"
Jose Huizar dump Alvin, he is bad news.
Movie sequel:
"Accomplishment-less in CD14, Part II"
Jose Huizar wants to reprise the role originally created out of whole cloth for ADV by indie phlegm producer Parke Skelton.
Two thumbs WAY down!
Anyone taking bets on how long before the artwork is changed on the Huizar site, and they throw up some re-hashed "issues" verbiage right out of Villaraigosa's 2003 Website?
Hold our money for us, Mayor Frank. If it takes less than six hours, then it's the Huizar people who are frozen eyeballs on this blog.
If it takes more than 24 hours, they're all a brain-dead as they seem to be. . .
Jose, it is not too late to take a look at the staff surrounding you. Please do so. Little items like your website not being completed, your walks not beeing organized, your messages not being thorough.
Your the best candidate, don't blow it by having people like Laura Barrera be your representative.
You can win, do it right.
Yup, that's a rerun...saw it low ratings.

Immediately.
I recall during the AV campaign when the misspelling of a word was exposed here, it took less than one minute to change on their website. Control! Control!
Hopefully a "Dump Your Inept Staff" movement will begin. I think it is one way to insure his victory.
Come on Jose think out of the box.
Jose, why don't you talk to Antonio and ask him what to do with Barrera and Parra?
Ask Antonio if you can work on your website?
Ask Antonio if you should get more adult volunteers?
Ask Antonio if he knows of any volunteers in El Sereno that can help you with safety, education, or volunteer recruits.
Ask Antonio if you should be using his name on the speeches, last time you were booed.
Ask him if your wearing the right suit, talking to the right people, and shaking hands with enough poor people from El Sereno for photo ops like he did.
Where is Cyberlady? She should help Huizar's campaign and work with Parke Skelton.
Doe she like Parke Skelton or not?
Can you hear all those furious typing sounds coming from direction of Pasadena. That's Parke et al. inventing Jose's "accomplishments" for the Website.
Remember, Skelton, even numbers divisible by 20 are great for creating major campaign lies -- 80 neighborhood watch associations, 160 new schools, 6,000 cleanup volunteers.
Numbers divisible by 50 are BAD, though, like 50 percent drop out rate at LAUSD.
When is Jose going to start keeping "better track" of those dropouts? When he's on to the next job? Some of them may be walking precints for him as we speak.
Don't hold your breath on the "dump the staff" movement. Even hardcore Villaraigosa supporters tried to tell him his staff was making him look bad in CD14 the past two years, and he ended up taking many of them to the mayor's office.
What arrogance!
When the staff knows too much of inside happenings (illegal movement, fraud cover ups) the candidate cannot afford to let go and have a person LEAK out the goods on him.
11:49 AM
Great suggestions, but it all begins with dumping that crappy staff of his. With all the veteran campaign staffers laying aorund, I cannot beleive Jose has the best and birghtest at his side.
Dump that staff!
Send Laura (ghetto girl) Barrera packing along Alvin (time has come and gone) Parra.
Do it Jose...do it.
All the people in CD 14 will thank you when you get into office and have staff who care about the community around you and just titles like Interim Chief of Staff.
Jose I know you read this wake up brother. You can beat the shithead Nick.
I have a question for "Huizy".
What did AV promise Eric Hacopian to sabotage Nick Pacheco's campaign from the inside?
this is fucking slander, either offer proof or just shut up.
this is bull shit.
Why are people bagging on Hacopian. Maybe he was a legit consultant for Nick. Ace Smith once worked for a Republican candidate. Money is money. What is the problem here? If in the future we see Hacopian take an AV job then point fingers.
Sabotage? What are you talking about? No such thing occurred.
Poppycock, said Huizar
Hey dude ,seems that the staff on BOTH Jose Huizar and Nick Pacheco are losers.Big time.
Call (323) 265-1255 to urge Huizar to "Dump His Inept Staff" it is not too late. Your support today can make the difference.
Again call (323) 265-1255 and together we can elect a Councilman who cares enough about the community to give it its very best.....staff wise that is.
This a Public Service Announcement
Dump your staff member Parra & Barrero, I don't know about the rest, these two are awful.
Huizar, my vote will change if you keep this kind of crappy staff with you. I cannot give our community this shitty service, I'll vote for one of your opponents instead. Get some new people and pronto.
Huizar, I will help you and bring a group of dedicated volunteers when you release the incompetent staff you have with you.
Inept Staffers Include:
Laura (Ghetto Girl) Barrera
Alvin Parra
Monica Garcia
David Cobb
Felipe Agredano
Huizar why don't you ask Parker to get a person on board who cares about education in the community. An activist. A person that can talk to the people not over the people. Someone who has a vision for a future and not motivated by money.
I know the other three are idiots, but Felipe and David, are they inept too?
Huizar why don't you ask (Parke Skelton) to get a person on board who cares about education in the community. An activist. A person that can talk to the people not over the people. Someone who has a vision for a future and not motivated by money.
poster not parker it was parke skelton bro.
I heard David ws pals with Al Robles from South Gate...what does that tell you.
I don't know who Felipe is.
I want to go to a CD 14 debate.
I've called Pacheco's campaign office. I've emailed Robert Urteaga. I guess because I live in CD 12, they're not going to return my calls or emails. In the past, Pacheco voted to expand Sunshine Canyon. Perhaps that is why he hasn't responded - because his vote is not what I want to hear?
Next I'll go to Huizar.
I think it's vitally important to know how candidates will vote on my issue if elected. In February, they will vote on the BFI contract.
1:05 PM
Do you think the Pacheco people are pyschic?
You said they did not return your call maybe becuase he voted to expand Sunshie Canyon.
You are such a loser. You don't need an invite to attend a meeting.
Is the Councilman in District 12 accountable to the people in District 9 or District 15...I don't think so...get a life.
Kim,
The BFI situation is very important and as a resident of El Sereno, I would have been active against it if it was in my area too. I understand on how you want to see where these candidates stand on BFI now, but if Villaraigosa pulls a fast one AGAIN in February, their vote means zilch. Villaraigosa seems to have the magic wand at this time, and that is very unfortunate. I bet if these council members and the Mayor had Sunshine Canyon as their backyard they would fight day and night to make it go to another area. I see some politicians as hypocrites.
Kim-AV is the one to blame for the stalling on Sunshine Canyon.
I'm back from lunch, did I miss anything?
Out to lunch, back soon.
I don't care when you go to lunch man...get a life..
Low voter turn-out in the election, due to the bad staffs in thses two campaigns.Better to think of buying a turkey,than to vote for a turkey.
1:09:
I have a life. Unfortunately, half of it has to do with the fucking landfill.
I didn't say I "needed" an invitation to a debate. I said I wanted to go to one. Big difference.
What does psychic have to do with anything? I wanted an HONEST answer. Will he vote to renew the current contract or will he vote to renegotiate it? So I didn't ask Pacheco's people to look at a crystal ball. I asked them to explore an issue. It sucks if someone is standing firm on an issue because of they way they voted in 99. Things change, situations change, alternative technology changes, etc.
If a council member gets a vote on something in a different district, then I assume you think that the council member should blindly vote based on ____ ? What? No information? The councilman's word who has the issue in his district?
Don't tell me to "get a life". If City Hall weren't so freaking crooked, campaign-contribution driven and lazy, I would go away and have a content life.
And this is NOT a NIMBY issue. This doesn't just have to do with my back yard. I don't think dumps should be in urban areas or anyone's backyard and City Hall needs the balls to tell BFI they're done with them. Since BFI is unable to secure a bond, your children and grandchildren will be stuck with the contaminated groundwater that will eventually occur there and there will be no federal funds to clean it up.
However, I'll proudly wear the nimby hat. If I don't take care of it - who will? The council member from CD 14 or CD 9? Not unless I visit them and show them the alternatives. I wish everyone took care of their backyards the way I do.
So by your way of thinking anon 1:09, you believe that the new council member should go along with my council member, Greig Smith and simply not renew the contract?
Sounds good to me.
Thanks for the words Chief.
I do believe I have the same right to speak to all of the same council members that the BFI lobbyists have a right to. That poster made no sense whatsoever.
I met with AV last Tuesday. I'm not sure what view of his that you agree with. He seemed pretty open to hearing the alternatives and the costs and he "gets" the need to get BFI out of Los Angeles.
And please don't anyone post back that Sunshine Canyon will still be there. Nobody knows that better than me.
And please don't anyone post back about 80 neighborhoood watches. God, I can just feel that one coming..
Good luck trying to get the Mayor or any city council member to answer a question. They are weak! They vote like the wind. No leadership what so ever.
CITY HALL WHODUNIT
Mayor, council go AWOL rather than explain DWP union's sweetheart deal...When the going gets tough, the tough get going. That's what the mayor and City Council did last week when they went on vacation without answering the hard questions about who is responsible for cutting a sweetheart deal with Department of Water and Power workers that could dash hopes for a better Los Angeles.
You Pacheco people staffers are low level scum (this goes to Ricardo, John, Robert).
Eric Hacopian had way too much class to work with douche bags like you.
You guys are idiots, and your going down.
Gee, I wonder why Antonio is having a Citywide Day of Service cleanup at HIGH SCHOOLS one month before the election? Maybe to help Jose. Can't he see how obvious this is to the people?
On Monday night, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa made his first visit to a Neighborhood Council meeting (the Hollywood United Neighborhood Council) to urge its participation and leadership in the Mayor’s Citywide Day of Service to Our Youth that is planned for Saturday, October 8.
hey, Chief Parke-Faker-Skeleton,
WHares the Nayberhood witches? I lookid for them ANd I ONly found like 10, but they were TO ST uck up to talk to me..
A forget it- antonio won, it's all over.
Sigh
Do John Edwards and Robert (Robrin to John's Batman) U. ever contact voters?
You guys spend way too much time shitting on your former consultant. This is no way to win a campaign morons.
Hacopian is no class act. The word is that Nick got rid of him, because he wanted to run one of his typical gutter campaign's.
Kim Thompson,
I know this is kind of silly sounding, and on this thread totally off-topic, but check out this article.
Recycling bins that cluck
BELGIUM. The municipality of Diest in Flanders gave 2,000of its households an unusual gift: three chickens each. Why? The birds are supposed to recycle biodegradable garbage. Chickens are omnivores who love leftovers, according to Kippenmail (May 2005), the digital newsletter of the Dutch animalrights campaign Adopteer een kip (“Adopt a chicken”). In one month, one chicken can consume approximately nine pounds of kitchen garbage. In return, it will lay eggs. And what’s more, its droppings can be used to fertilize the garden. Officials in Diest see the chickens as a cheap solution to the expensive problem of recycling biodegradable trash, which costs the town about half a million euros a year (600,000 U.S. dollars).
This would be frought with problems in Los Angeles, but how about trying to set up some contiguous lots where people looking for work can collect table scraps, feed them to chickens, and make a living selling fertilizer and eggs to local residents and gardeners?
The costs for the goods would probably be higher than the heavily subsidized eggs we buy at the supermarket, but, I don't know - it might work if the economics are fiddled with. Heck, maybe the people of Los Angeles can grow the food that goes to feed school children in their neighborhood?
All other drawbacks aside, chickens would reduce a lot of garbage, right?
Sorry, this is pretty much gadly material. I just couldn't resist, since there were a few posts on trash at Sunshine Canyon.
Thanks UBray. You're right; this doesn't belong on this thread but there is also a place in the midwest who does something like this. There was a huge article about it that Julie Korenstein's son gave us a few years ago.
I like any out of the box thinking.
There is an awesome waste company that currently takes some of our food scraps from restaurants in a pilot program here in LA and in San Francisco amd they slurry it and sell it to farmers in Ventura.
But of course, they're from the San Francisco area where everyone is greener thinking. LA lags behind most of the cities in CA. That's why I call them lazy.
How the hell did this thread turn from questions form Huizar to Sunshine Dilemma?
The 80 neighborhood topic has more relevance here than the sunshine crap, get it?
Council is lazy on Sunshine Canyon and always will be.
Huizar I live in District 14, will you work hard to put a bookstore (Borders)in the area? We do not have a bookstore locally, we have to go out to Pasadena to buy a book, what's up with that?
Are there bookstores in Highland Park, EagleRock, Mt. Washington, Boyle Heights, and I mean big named companies not little mom and pop ones.
Huizar
In District 14 LAUSD schools only allow children to enter their elementary campuses at 7:30am. Some kids are dropped off at 7am and for 1/2 an hour are left alone unattended to and can be abducted. Can you do something about this before a child gets hurt. Can you please open the elementary schools at 7am. Some of your unopposed campaign money from earlier years can pay for that if it requires extra expense and it would be a good deed. Can you be a good person, politician, elective representative and do this for the children?
Some people know the relevance of Sunshine Canyon and some don't.
Why did the Sunshine Canyon thread always go off on the CD 14 race?
Because you can't control it.
I don't come to this blog often enough to ruin all of your threads, so leave me alone. Or maybe I'll just post Sunshine stuff on every thread like the 80 neighborhood watch person does.
Oh no, I won't. I'm not a jerk.
"Kim has the guts to identify herself and be consistent with an issue -- i applaud her efforts and wish her well."
Unlike you chief Faker -- not only won't you ID youself, you won't even ID the 80 neighborhood watches in CD14 you like you promised.
Boy are you "UN-applaudable" by your own standards stated above.
Who's the "jerk" about the 80 neighborhood watches -- the guy who keeps asking Chief Parker to be honest and keep his word to the bloggers, or Parker for dodging the question for the past 3-4 months.
Answer: Chief Parker is the buggest jerk, for using people security as a tool to advocate electing another "tool" -- Villaraigosa.
I'm back
Any Inept Huizar staffers get let go today.
Day One and none have been let go.
Huizar
Fire your inept staffers:
Laura (Ghetto girl) Barrera
Alvin (Time has come and gone) Parra
David (Firend of Albert Robles) Cobb and
Monica (No Experince in campaigns) Garcia
They hurt you more that they help you.
Monica will leave in exchange for 14 happy meals. David will leave for more money and continue to lobby Jose on behalf his clients. Alvin disgraced himself with his wife's campaign and has no where to go.
I'm concerned on the millions of dollars that we are losing as a state from the film industry. They are apparently leaving our state for other cheaper areas and can our politicians compete with this?
NO changes on Huizy's Web pages, Mayor Frank. Not only does this mean Jose has no record and knows no issues, it also means his "folk" don't think Mayor Sam's matters to anyone in CD14, right.
Maybe they're right -- what was it the one blogger said about half the district being illiterate (a fine "accomplishment" for the ex LAUSD board president to tout).
Half my constituents remain illiterate, and THAT's why I need a new job.
CD 14 is stereotyped illiterate. It is diverse and the candidate who wins this race will be given the trust to take care and make this district flourish with positive outcomes. We want good things for the people and it all starts with good ideas. For any candidate reading any of this, it is up to you to make things right for the people you may serve.
Yeah, what a loser Huizar is. I mean, look at what he has done:
He had a website that had his campaign's contact info, fundraising remit slip, volunteer and e-mail sign up form, and media room to provide vidal documents to media and interested parties.
Then there's Pacheco, who has:
nothing.
Ok, so Jose has a section or two that aren't active. As important as they might be, you can go to his website and get tons more info than you can if you go to Pacheco's. The only thing that you know about Pacheco when you go to his website is that he likes Mangos.
Kinda hard to talk your trash about Jose's camp not being fully operational while Pacheco hasn't shown much of an online campaign and having just gone through a major transition with the loss of Hacopian (good move on Afriat though, but that's a hard move to go through at this point of the game).
It's still early in the game anon. Don't count anyone out yet. For the websites, technology is the forefront of today's American culture. It benefits all candidates to have a full functioning website.
Laura Barrera is still ghetto. Has anyone seen her interact with the community. she treats community folks like they are her homeboys and her peers like they are always hanging out at the bar.
what a disgrace to the profession of staffing.
don't you agree Mayor?
We have to meet this Laura person. She sounds interesting. How do I volunteer at Huizar's for a day?
Blog managers can you have a thread with campaign volunteer comments. Inside happenings are much more fun to know then speculation.
Does anyone know where Eric Robles, former field staffer for Congresswoman Roybal Allard has been? Eric is listed on all Huizar campaigner literature as a "volunteer" yet we all know someone is paying him. No one has seen him at any of the debates.
Hopefully Eric is not being corrupted by the Huizar Inept Staffers he has.
Let's see if any are let go and a real campaign develops. Jose has never had a race like this in his life. It is too important to leave it to theses stooges:
Laura (Ghetto girl) Barrera
Alvin (Time has come and gone) Parra
David (Firend of Albert Robles) Cobb and
Monica (No Experince in campaigns) Garcia
Laura got the job with Huizar as a favor to her former boss, Firebaugh, to do gov't relations... Now an "interim chief of staff"
you do the math.
