CD 14 Spam

Here's the newest E-mail from Team Pacheco...

The Problem: Crime

Pacheco Solution: Anti-Crime Task Force

As Councilman, Nick Pacheco worked closely with all the community organizations in the neighborhood to have an inclusive and holistic approach to tackling crime. The police department alone can not solve this problem and the Councilman is committed to bringing back this approach and spearheading a team that will counter the criminal forces in our district -- lack of opportunity, loss of hope and lack of good paying jobs.

The Problem: Economic Development

Pacheco Solution: Council District 14 Business Team

Economic development, under Councilman Nick Pacheco, will include the small businesses that have served the 14th Council District over the years.

With CLARTS funding, two individuals in the council office will be dedicated to helping our local ("mom & pop") businesses expand and create local jobs for our local youth.

This program will generate higher paying jobs for our local families and assist them in finding a living wage job.

The Problem: Opportunities for Job Training

Pacheco Solution: Youth & Technology Centers

Councilman Nick Pacheco created a Youth & Technology Center for the Boyle Heights area and is committed to duplicating this success in the northeast portion of the district. The facility is 20,000 sq. ft. and will provide training and skill development for all our youth and young adults to improve themselves for better job opportunities. The Bridewell Armory sits there vacant right now and as Councilmember, Nick Pacheco, will bring that building to life. It will be an Arts, Youth & Technology Center.

The Problem: Quality of Life Issues

Pacheco Solution: Return of the Neighborhood Leadership Institute

Councilman Nick Pacheco had a Neighborhood Leadership Institute that trained community members to become leaders within the City structure. They would be introduced to department heads that handled street repairs, sidewalk repairs, lighting, traffic enforcement, etc. and would present in PowerPoint all the local problems they wanted the Council office to tackle with them.

This grassroots approach to handling local quality of life issues will be brought back and complement the traditional complaint driven system.

Healthcare for Every Child
Born in the District

Mayor Villaraigosa: Protect Our Children
http://www.antonio2005.com/releases?id=0013

Every newborn who qualifies for Medi-Cal, Healthy Families, or Healthy Kids should be enrolled in a program before leaving the hospital. By working directly with schools and perusing an aggressive outreach and education program that targets parents, every eligible child can be covered.

Councilmember Nick Pacheco
Guarantees It for CD 14

"The Mayor is right. We can make this a reality. As Councilmember for the 14th Council District I will make sure that every new born who qualifies for Medi-Cal, Healthy Families, or Healthy Kids will be enrolled in a program before leaving the hospital. I will have a mobile office to assist in this process."

Both Huizar and Pacheco are good people. The decision will be difficult for me because I like both and feel they can equally do a good job for CD 14.

Don't forget all the transfers of funds AV is moving from CD 14. He's transferring $550,000 from the Captial Expenditure Fund to the El Sereno Constituent Center.

Mayor Frank,

Why are you posting Nick's campaign stuff here - Skelton will only rip it off and put it one Huizar literature next week. Has someone so highly educated ever been so ill prepared to run for office? I guess Huizar is the antithesis of Villaraigosa, someone so badly educated yet so "prepared" to run for office.

Please this C 14 election is already fixed by Antonio. Because we have so many politicans who are spineless and don't have the guts to knock heads with AV they are helping Little Jose. No way in hell he has the experience, knowledge, vision to be a councilman. He'll just be a puppet to AV and everyone knows it. He's not a man but a MOUSE.

When is AV going to actually use the $1-2 million in discretionary funds being horded in district accounts since 2003?

Maybe there are some needs in the district -- someone go check and report back to the Care-Faker.

You KNOW the blog is dying/dead when there's a Pacheco thread and there aren't a half-dozen little Nick-haters filling it up with half-truths and years-old Skelton-invented lies for dozens of comments.

UNLESS there's an AV photo-op going on today. Then they're just "busy."

Someone puts out a plan to solve some of the problems in the district, and that's "SPAM" but when your buddy Chief Faker was pontificating about the fake 80 NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH ORGS. that was something more legit?

Maybe if AV had had a "plan" for CD14 (and not just a secret "plan" to move on). . .

Maybe if Huizar did have a "plan" for CD14 (and not just a cookie-cutter list of "issues" that any hack could have written about any district in any major city). . .

(Pardon mon wishful thinking). "Plans" can be problematic for your next campaign, if you don't "plan" to actually stick around!.

"Parque" needs to get a job. Watcho and the Pachuecos are getting complacent. Nicky Poo threads just aren't attracting the attention that they used to.

That's because they are not defensive threads. It takes a while to get used to going from defensive mode to attack mode. But it will happen.

You Pacheco haters keep referring to him as Pachueco but have offered no proof of any chueco thing he has done. Every accusation has been rebutted. Even leading to the exile of Chief Parker. On the other hand, the proof on Sleazy Huizy's name is forthcoming - there's a name that is fitting.

Wait! Wasn't Pacheco a Council Member a few years ago? Why is he talking about things he will do as opposed to what he did...not sure what he did, but I'd say that's a better strategy for a former CM.

Ask Jose Huizar questions about CD 14 and he doesn't have a clue. He has never attended community meetings, doesn't know about issues on public safety, has no clue about basic quality of life issues. Jose will tell you though that he has 1/2 the city council and Antonio supporting him. Say it again in Boyle Heights and Highland Park and you'll get BOOED.

Dear Friends:

As Councilmember for the 14th Council District I had some successes that I would like to share with you. Many of these were done in collaboration with the community and others were done by my staff working closely with the City departments. Either way, they are only the beginning and I look forward to returning to service and bringing a "sense of community" to the 14th Council District.

Here they are:

1. Celebrating A Clean Community/Celebrando Una Comunidad Limpia (Environmental Fairs)

I felt that the only solution to bringing cleaner streets in our neighborhoods was through a joint venture with the community. I worked with the Department of Public Works to coordinate volunteers and promote "spring cleaning" in every part of the district. Each day ended with an environmental fair involving CBOs, environmental groups, and Public Works. This program started in CD 14 and has spread to 6 more council districts in the City. Councilman Villaraigosa changed the name of these events to “A Day of Service” and built them up to the point that thousands now show up.

2. Neighborhood Prosecutor Program

After September 11 the City of Los Angeles has a shortage of police officers in the neighborhoods because they were protecting the airport and other sensitive areas. During this time, City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo asked me to introduce the motion to create the Neighborhood Prosecutor Program and as Chair of the Budget and Finance Committee I pushed it through the council. This was at a time that we had very few resources for new projects, but public safety trumps all other programs.

3. Washington Boulevard Bulky Item Drop Off Center

The Bulky Item drop off center was Lloyd Monserratt's idea and I fought hard to get it funded. I put $2.4 million dollars into the 2003-2004 budget so that South Los Angeles, Hollywood and the Valley could get their requested bulky item drop off centers, but unfortunately all were closed down after I left the council. I am committed to re-open this center and expand it throughout the City.

4. Y.O. Program and $9 Million Dollar Boyle Heights Youth & Technology Center

I fought hard to make sure that Los Angeles received a Youth Opportunity grant from the Department of Labor. I convinced then Mayor Riordan to add $1 million into the application for a new City facility in Boyle Heights to eventually house the YO program. The program has grown into the Valley and will be a permanent City program. I put together close to $9 million dollars to build the 20,000 square foot center.

5. Evergreen Cemetery Jogging Path

The Evergreen Jogging Path is the most creative project I have ever worked on. The sidewalk surrounding Evergreen Cemetery (1.4 miles) was torn out and replaced with a rubber/cement compound made of recycled automobile tires. The project was designed to minimize rain run-off into the storm drains. I can see the City replicating this type of project and embracing the use of rubber/cement sidewalks everywhere.

6. Doña Street Signs

The City will no longer misspell Dona Teresa; it will be correctly labeled as Doña Teresa. I received international press on this item.

7. Automated Toilet Program

("European Style" Public Toilets)

I visited San Francisco with then Public Works Commissioner Woody Fleming and returned with the goal to have these self-cleaning toilets in Los Angeles, especially for areas with larger number of homeless or tourists. They will soon be all over the City.

8. Affordable Housing Trust Fund

($100 Million Dollar Motion: CF# 01-1458)

I was asked by the housing advocates to create a housing trust fund in 1999. They were not optimistic but I convinced then Mayor Riordan to start one with $5 Million for 2000-2001 and then doubled it for 2001-2002. In July of 2001, the Council adopted my motion (01-1458) to pursue placing $100 million in the fund.

9. Neighborhood Leadership Institute

The Councilman, working with City departments (especially Public Works) trained average residents on how to access City services. Council District 13 began a similar program after ours was initiated and other District Offices are considering following this model.

10. CLARTS Community Amenities Fund

I negotiated an Amenities Fund for CD 14 when the Department of Sanitation wanted to purchase a Recycling and Transfer Station located in CD 14. This fund generates around $1 million dollars a year for CD 14 projects.

As proud as I am about these items, there is still much work to be done. I want CD 14 to have the same sense of community it had when I was growing up: when every family shared in raising the children in the neighborhood. We will get there, but only if we all work to bring government closer to the people it serves.

Join my campaign and share my vision of bringing local government closer to the people.

We, in CD 14, have the resources to energize our neighbors into being a part of the solutions to our problems.

Both Pacheco and Huizar are idiots without a cause. Neither of them are leaders, nor able to represent CD 14 or any other district for that matter!

The voters are tired of the boys backed by Riordan, Broad and Soveroff.

Time to clean house!

Who is supporting who?!?!?!?!?

Nick is standing alone only with trully the moms & dads and their children. There is no big money! Just hardworking everyday people seeking to maintain their community and livelihoods. When has AV shopped at the local mom & pop businesses? When does he visit the roots of the community? The Pacheco Family is grounded in the CD 14, you can catch at the local bakery, supermarket or gas station!!!!!!!!!
