Bring back Parker!
Mike Trujillo,
This entire outing may be a blessing or burden to you. Who knows, but clearly we hope that you do not get into too much trouble with tarnishing Villaraigosa's name here and his possible involvement on this blog during the campaign.
Trujillo, did you let Skelton use your password. Researching some old posts, some of Chief Parker's post similiar to Skelton's way of writing. Will you tell?
Torrance's Lieu says he won't 'maintain the status quo'
City councilman is the only Democrat running in race to replace his mentor, the late Assemblyman Mike Gordon, in the 53rd District.
By Nick Green
Daily Breeze
Indeed, the relatively new Torrance Democratic Club voted only 14-10 to endorse Lieu.
"It was more of a protest vote," said founder and president Carmen Gonzalez, adding that Democrats are now united behind Lieu. "It wasn't against Ted. It was a way of saying they didn't appreciate that (Assembly) Speaker Fabian Nunez had conferred an endorsement before the primary."
But James Crean, president of the Beach Cities Republican Club, said the wishy-washy endorsement speaks to something else. He called Lieu an "undistinguished two-year Torrance city councilman."
"If Lieu was such a great candidate, his hometown Torrance Democratic Club should have endorsed him unanimously and they didn't," Crean said. "Democracy is alive and well with the Republicans and (the Nunez) dictatorship seems to be the rule of the day for the Democrats.
"We have three great candidates to choose from," he added. "Democrats have no choice."
'California's political winds blow south these days. That's the direction of approval ratings (34 percent for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and 27 percent for the state legislature, per the latest survey by the San Francisco-based Public Policy Research Institute). It's also where state Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez headed last week--south of the border, for a quick meeting with Mexican President Vicente Fox.
'What would prompt the speaker, who normally stays within the cozy confines of Sacramento, to try his hand at shuttle diplomacy? Nunez, who lived in Mexico for eight years as a child, said he felt the need to apologize to his second homeland for the Governator's praise of the Minutemen Project and the offhand remark that the U.S.-Mexican border should be "closed." But it's hard to ignore the timing of his trip: California's special election is two months away and Democrats are banking on a strong Hispanic turnout to kill Schwarzenegger's reform agenda.' (Weekly Standard article).
I was told that Mayor Sam and Mayor Frank met Chief Parker for a drink and then Mayor Sam gave Parker the keys to the place. Good they fired him.
This evening at my work, we are doing a special report on Fabian Nunez's support of gay marriage and what he has not disclosed publicly to the Latino Community. We will have people interviewed and comment on the content of the program.
Read on...
The Religious Freedom & Civil Marriage Protection Act, AB 849 (formerly known as AB 19), authored by Assembly member Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) and Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez (D- Los Angeles), would rewrite California Family Law to allow couples of the same gender to be married
Question - Is there some type of fraud hotline to report City employees who are cheating and stealing form their employer IE Us? I work in Airports and the fraud is unbelieveable yet no one in management will do anything even though they know about it. Is there some way to report this illegal activity to someone who actually cares? I mean besides Mayor Sam.
AWESOME ARTICLE:
http://www.dailybreeze.com/opinion/articles/1808337.html
8:47 AM I sincerely wish that some anon blogger will have the correct answer to your question. You might be given a local fraud number, but if I were you, I would find out who to contact in the U.S. Attorney Generals office to report any abuse. Local departments are heavily protected by our local politicians, it might be shoved under the rug, so go the federal way.
Remember Stephen Cooley shoving the LAUSD audits under the rug and Laura Chick participating in the cover up...same thing will happen, so go FEDERAL, contact an attorney general with copies sent to FBI.
Now let's really hear it for Nick Pachueco!
Fabian Nunez's trip to Mexico is to SPIN SPIN SPIN, for the DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Of course he was going to go, then return and cry wolf on behalf of Mexico on Bush's relation to them. It is all about the $$$$$$$$$$$, Mexico wants more money, Fabian is trying to buy them out in turn gaining Latino support in the USA...by the way, doesn't work.
Someone posted earlier,
The whole thing is anti-climatic. I had really expected them to be big name people like Parke, Ace, Shallman, Waldman, etc.
Who the hell are these guys? Just some political fans who got folks to open up?
No doubt the journos are pissed. God bless the Internet!
8:53 DON'T LOSE HOPE YET...It is more likely that these consultants did have their hand and influence on these peons...
Just wait and see what will unfold. It might get ugly in here, or did the song go, "It's get'n hot in hea."
They were big people. Parke and Ace have played little kids before. And that is what these people are, nothing more than little kids with star struck eyes whenever Ace, Antonio and Parke entered the room. I bet some of those Chief Parker posts can be traced to Parke or Ace's computer. Under cross examination, little boy Trujillo will crack and expose all.

My opinion,
Trujillo was probably exposed by Skelton, this blog was exposing the negative side of Huizar. Trujillo, who were your other buddies posting under the "Chief" you must have given them your password, and since the Chiefs comments were pretty much controlled, they had to be known to you, people close to you. Otherwise, everyone would have been posting under the "Chief Parker" name. I don't buy the explanation given to media, you are the scapegoat to bigger fish. The bigger fish have talked and you are protecting them. I'm going to call you OLLIE.
New LA Mayor Spent $5.2M on Election
Guardian Unlimited, UK - Aug 2, 2005
... led Hahn by nine points in the March primary - a fact that helped the challenger raise more money for the runoff, said Parke Skelton, a Villaraigosa campaign ...
VILLARAIGOSA COULD NOT RUN OF ACHIEVEMENT, REPUTATION, ETHICS, SO IT TOOK 5.2 MILLION TO BUY OUT THE VOTES. PATHETIC!
Villaraigosa outspent Hahn by two times as much. What does this say? Big money influence...who gave and who has he repaid with commission positions and contracts. The next four years will be the field day for Journalists in Los Angeles.
"New Mayor Spent Twice Hahn's Total
By Patrick McGreevy, Times Staff Writer
Antonio Villaraigosa spent twice as much as incumbent James K. Hahn to win the May runoff election for mayor of Los Angeles, according to the final tally of campaign finances filed Monday.
The new mayor spent $5.2 million compared with $2.5 million for Hahn, although Hahn substantially outspent Villaraigosa in the March round of the mayoral election, the campaign reports show."
I think Parke Skelton is having a bad day today..........
Not So Fast
Herb Wesson’s cakewalk turns into a challenge
by ROBERT GREENE
"...Denise Fairchild slipped in quietly, filing to run for the seat without fanfare...she has a shot, but it could prove hard for her to keep up. Wesson’s campaign is chaired by fellow former Assembly Speaker Bob Hertzberg, and he won the quick endorsement of every Democratic statewide elected official. He had broad backing from the SEIU representatives, who are to take their recommendation to the County Fed — where Ludlow now reigns, and where he once directed the labor group’s political efforts.
If that’s not enough, Wesson was redirected to the council race at the urging of several labor and political leaders, including Ludlow, who wanted to steer him away from a face-off against Mark Ridley-Thomas for a state Senate seat next year. Plus, Ludlow once worked on Wesson’s staff.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, also a former Assembly speaker and a friend of Wesson’s from their Sacramento days, is expected to support Wesson as well. But it’s not a lock. Villaraigosa picked Fairchild to be on his mayoral transition team.
Fairchild’s bid could spur a debate. Her campaign is being handled by Parke Skelton and Steve Barkan, the consultants who piloted Villaraigosa to victory in the mayor’s race. They generally pick the more progressive candidates to represent, and could help Fairchild stake out ground that competes with Wesson’s labor ties..."

IF YOUR IN THE SAN ONOFRE AREA, GO HELP CHP AND DONATE FOR THE VICTIMS...GOD BLESS YOU.
It does hurt Huizar. You know as well as I, how this blog takes sides, the anon take sides. Well, some posts have hurt his poll numbers, why do you think the poll did not go public the last couple of weeks they polled the public?
Come on, Esqueleto, I'll invite you to dinner, you pay OK, and I will show you a new method of spinning that is ethical and based on truth.
You have it all wrong, Teach. Katrina isn't a commie, she's headed right toward Democrat alley... ;)
I'm wayyyy north of that...should I get some bottled water and a few canned foods just in case?
(Oh and BTW-- I took your Mu.nu post, you took my Katrina post -- I was soooo going to mention it, so we're even...k? :P)
You knew this was coming
Katrina = God’s revenge
I figured Phelps would be the first, and Falwell and Robertson (assumably) learned their lessons after the 9/11 comment fiasco.
For the record, Katrina is not the worst hurricane ever to hit the US, nor are the last two years the worst hurricane years on record. So go put your global warming rhetoric back in your pocket.
This is also not God's revenge for Mardi Gras sinfulness.
And it's not Allah's revenge for U.S. policies in the mid-east either.
And it's not a secret NASA weather experiment gone awry either. (I only mention that here because it's as unfounded as the others.)
If it's a sign of anything, then maybe, just maybe, it's a sign that it's not such a good idea to build a city on semi-tropical coast below sea level! I don't know for sure, but I was just thinking...
So for now, get out your checkbooks and do what you can to help these folks out. And start buying building-supply stocks.
Are we living in AMERICA? I can't believe NO ONE has done a damn thing in 5 days to help the poor people left homeless, hungry, penniless etc. in New Orleans. Where the hell are their politicans? The coverage looks like they're filming in IRAQ.
Mike Trujillo aka Chief Parker was a mean SOB. I hope those subpoenas, court orders, etc. will shortly be on their way. It goes to show how sneaky, coniving, low class Antonio's people really are. People are sending e-mails stating they are so glad they finally got caught.
Mayor Villaraigosa, so why are you supporting racists in our community. This is extreme, just like MECHA.
" South L.A. Pastor Says Hurricane Katrina is Revenge for Southern White Supremacy: "Reverend Lewis E. Logan II, senior pastor of the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, addressed the crowd at an anti-LAPD rally he hosted in response to Nation of Islam Minister Tony Muhammad’s alleged beating at the hands of police. The reverend began what appeared to be a prayer for the victims of the disaster – but then veered wildly, suggesting that Katrina is a Black woman seeking retribution on the South for its history of racism. … it is no a coincidence that it is exactly 50 years from the time of (inaudible) lynching and murder. That it is not a coincidence that the storm’s name is a sister. Katrina. For she represents the collective cries of mothers who have lost their sons (applause) to the brutality (louder applause) and the murderous grip of this racist white supremacist American culture (frenzied applause)."

South L.A. Pastor Says Hurricane Katrina is Revenge for Southern White Supremacy
Posted to LA Politics
Tonight, I heard one of the worst things I have heard in a long time: a supposed man of God suggested that the South deserves the death and devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina because it is revenge for centuries of racism.
As first reported by KFI’s John Ziegler Show, the Reverend Lewis E. Logan II, senior pastor of the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, addressed the crowd at an anti-LAPD rally he hosted in response to Nation of Islam Minister Tony Muhammad’s alleged beating at the hands of police. The reverend began what appeared to be a prayer for the victims of the disaster – but then veered wildly, suggesting that Katrina is a Black woman seeking retribution on the South for its history of racism.

9:45 AM You are an idiot. Our gov has done a lot. How can we help people that majority do not want to leave, but instead look, rape, and shoot at rescuers or other victims. It is easy for the Democratic party to blame, blame, blame, but that is all they do Democrats have no action just talk.
Go and give $1,000 to the Red cross instead of yapping, you are probably the same person that waits for the monthly or weekly check dependant on gov to get you out of the gutter or pay for hose nail salon manicures.
Yes, they did get caught, but what is what are they going to do, NADA. The ones that are shitting their pants are FABIAN, VILLARAIGOSA, HERTZBERG. You see, these people have key players in every avenue possible to fabricate stories. The Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) who releases polls and studies are infiltrated with Democratic party supporters and especially Villaraigosa peons. Hertzberg's wife is a founder and chairman of the board. Now, tell me when a study or poll comes out, it will always favor the Democratic party, this is their PR machine that supposedly gives unbiased data, on the contrary it is biased from the get go.
Example of biased fake polls by PPIC
Special Survey On Californians And The Initiative Process: Bad Time For The Ballot Box
Californians Disapprove Of Special Election, Schwarzenegger, State Government
By: Public Policy Institute of California
Published: September 1, 2005 at 08:25
Californians' steadfast endorsement of the initiative process is not triggering support for this fall's initiative-focused special election – nor for the man who called it, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
FAKE POLLS, FAKE POLLS, FAKE POLLS, IS THIS WHAT FABIAN NUNEZ TOLD THE PPIC TO PUBLISH AFTER THEIR MEETING WITH HERTZBERG'S WIFE?
kowabunga my friend to you too.
Pols Pass Up a Pot of Gold as Rob Reiner Takes the Initiative
There's a gleaming pot of gold within easy grasp of the governor and Legislature that would help them balance the state's deficit-ridden books. But it's looking like the governor's friend, filmmaker Rob Reiner, will beat the pols to the pot.
This is about using it or losing it.
Schwarzenegger and Republicans argue that higher taxes would drive people out of the state.
"I can't imagine that over this small amount of money people are going to say, 'OK, let's leave California,' " Reiner asserts, "because we're taking a very, very big step in improving education, which is essentially the most important way to entice people into the state."
Indeed, the latest poll by the Public Policy Institute of California shows that, among likely voters, education trumps the deficit and taxes by 2 to 1 as an important state issue. In April, a PPIC poll found that 60% favored raising income taxes on the wealthiest Californians to provide extra money for K-12 public schools.
NOW WHO IS AT THE PPIC, WHO REPRESENTED THIS INITIATIVE, WHO IS HE INVOLVED WITH....TRUJILLO, BOB HERTZBERG AND HIS WIFE A FOUNDER OF PPIC AND CURRENT STAFF, IS THIS ETHICAL? WHAT A CONFLICT OF INTEREST...MESSY SHIT.
PUBLIC DATA FROM LA OBSERVED
Hertzberg family feud*
The Daily News' James Nash reports on an unusual court hearing yesterday where Bob Hertzberg's ex-wife asked that he be stopped from running for mayor. Karen Moskowitz argued that Hertzberg should not get to reduce his child support payments to their sons (as he sought) in order to run. Hertzberg made more than $1 million as an attorney last year but has said he will cut back his hours and reduce his compensation to $300,000 to campaign this year. If elected, he would make $186,989. The judge did not immediately rule, but there was lively discussion, including a complaint by Moskowitz that Hertzberg pays a driver $60,000 a year.
LA OBSERVED
Hertzberg told the Daily News: "I weighed this very seriously before entering into this. I don't want to do anything that hurts my boys. I don't think it has any bearing on my ability to serve Los Angeles." He is married now to Cynthia Ann Telles, a UCLA professor of medicine and city library commissioner.
* More: Matt Krasnowski's story for Copley News Service says that Moskowitz was seeking an increase to $10,315 monthly. The judge ordered Hertzberg to continue paying $9,800 for now and set another hearing for July. Hertzberg alleged in a declaration that his ex was trying to hurt his political reputation.
LA OBSERVED
Ex-wife Karen Moskowitz's attorney, Judith Salkow Shapiro, argued that Hertzberg's sons shouldn't be penalized for their father's political ambitions. She said the child-support obligations should not be reduced from about $9,800 a month to $1,800.
The judge responded that there's a larger societal benefit to people like Hertzberg serving the public, citing the example of attorneys who leave behind $500,000 salaries to serve as judges.
"Consistently, society values civic contributions as an important goal equal to the support of children. The court has to balance all of that in each case."
Shapiro said Hertzberg's goals were less noble.
"Now he says, 'I want to take (child support) away -- not to go on the bench, but because I want to run for public office, which I may or may not win, to have all the personal satisfaction of holding that office,"' Shapiro said. "I don't think Mr. Hertzberg has that right."
Anybody know when and where the next CD 14 debate is ? Has Senator Cedillo endorsed anyone of them yet?
Is everyone on crack today? This outing has opened a can of worms for our Mayor and Bob Hertzberg. I am a supporter and worried about them.
HAY, Mayor Sam, your "exposure" could now lead to franchise opportunities. Since you're "free" to move around, think about branching it out to new cities - everyone has pols they need to expose and snipe at:
-- Mayor LaGuardia's Big Apple Blog
-- Mayor Rizzo's Brotherly Love Blog
-- Mayor Berry's Ho's and Blow Blog
-- Mayor Daley (Sr.'s) Windbag City
This could be as big as the Hard Rock Cafes. Think about it, run some numbers (you're a finance guy, right?)
I get a 1 percent commission if it takes. . . (I'll e-mail the secret password "Sworda-fish" to give you forwarding information).
From the looks of his picture there's another outing in store. Please exit the log cabin.

Kathleen Babineaux Blanco
On January 12, 2004, Kathleen Babineaux Blanco became the first woman to serve as governor of Louisiana.
"DID A BAD JOB RESPONDING TO THE HURRICANE DISASTER." SHE IS A FRIEND OF FIDEL CASTRO AND SUPPORTRE OF COMMIE AGENDAS. HER LEADERSHIP CAUSED DEATHS TO THE PEOPLE OF NEW ORLEANS.
WAKE UP DEMOCRATS, STOP POINTING FINGERS WHEN YOUR LEADERS ARE INCOMPETENT AT LOCAL LEVELS.
The resolution is in contrast to a recent trip by Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco to Cuba where she had a lobster dinner with Fidel Castro. Governor Blanco's meeting with Castro has come under fire by Louisianans for failing to meet with dissidents, call for democratic reforms, release of political prisoners, freedom of the press, and respect for human rights.
Gov. Kathleen Blanco's proposed September trade mission to China and other east Asian countries, saying she "seems fixated with meeting" with the heads of communist nations.
Blanco, a Democrat, who met earlier this year with Cuban officials, including President Fidel Castro, on another trade mission.
Blanco has scheduled visits to car manufacturers and other industrial development prospects for the state during her trip to China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Villere accused Blanco of being "on a world tour of communist countries. . . . Our president is trying to export democracy, and our Democratic governor is trying to import communism."

Hurrican Katrina-The persons that stayed for their own unknown reasons, did disobey. For those that are poor or no transportation, well you have a mouth, use it, ask your politician to help you get the hell out of there before the hurricane had hit. There are so many activists pointing fingers (lefties) such as Jesse Jackso Jr., why did they not use their strong arm and the Nation of Islam or who ever and provided $$$ to move people out of there. They didn't and also did not push Kathleeen Blanco to provide buses to the poor before hand. She is a commie advocate, what happened, she slept on the wheel. Did she do Fidel Castro a favor, who knows.
Why did the democrats, kathleen commie blanco, and nation of islam demand the people evacuate, force them. Why did they not provide buses. They make it out to be a race issue. Well, if my people were sufferin, the red man, I would go out and push, use my activism and get my people out.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky called plans for toll roads on that stretch of the 405 "dead on arrival."
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has been in Sacramento since Monday - joined by Councilwoman Wendy Greuel and Council President Alex Padilla - and met Tuesday with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to reiterate his support for design-build as one option.
"Funny things happen when you become the CEO, or mayor in my case," he said. "You want to move these projects along as quickly as possible."
During a news conference with the mayor, Schwarzenegger underscored the state's commitment to spend $84 million on the project.
"I want to say that we want to be as helpful as possible to Los Angeles," Schwarzenegger said.
However, the two disagreed on the issue of whether the car-pool lane should operate as a toll road.
parque esqueleto, I don't understand your comment.
11:42 a.m. posted -
"Funny things happen when you become the CEO, or mayor in my case," (Villaraigosa) said. "You want to move these projects along as quickly as possible."
This is NOT a quote from the real Antonio Villaraigosa -- not the AV that was the "CEO" of CD14 for two full years!
Someone misquoted him, that's for damn sure. 24 months as a CM with 24-plus MAJOR projects on the books -- some of which only required a couple pieces of paperwork and a phone call or two to complete(AND 24 little field staff urchins running around to do his bidding) -- and not ONE single project was completed during his term. Most didn't even move forward.
Either CD14 just got the biggest screwing of its existence, or space aliens abducted Villaraigosa earlier this year and probed him hard enough to break open any "blockage" that was keeping him from getting ANYTHING done.
Why so much attention to campaign $$$ raised? Doesn't the more $$$ mean more rich friends influence on the candidate than real issues? I know the party people look at it, but is it really a good indicator of a good candidate?
yea right. what's gonna happen to "the red people" in the middle of the desert? lol . how many people can an "activism" hold and what mileage does it get?
Missed the point...If I cared about color, which would in this case be black or red (I'm mixed), then I would use my activism to get people out! jesse jackso jr. the nation of islam should wonder, why they didn't help before the tragic event by organizing buses full load of people out of the area. All they know how to do is cry racial foul until you show them the right amount of money, then they want to work together for people...HYPOCRISY.
Dumb ass 11:59 You can't rebuttle my point so you look at grammar...cheap way to con your way out of intelligently debating...jack ass.

Shooting at policemen in New Orleans
Bands of armed black gunmen are roaming New Orleans and shots would hear all night long. Now a shocking AP article has given comfirmation that police are being randomly shot at. Also, at least one gun store has been looted and set on fire. At least one person has died from a shooting. Rescue workers, who are racing against the clock to save lives, must be diverted to deal with armed criminal bands.
From AP
"In one east New orleans neighborhood, refugees were being loaded onto the backs of moving vans like cattle, and in one case emergency workers with a sledgehammer and an ax broke open the back of a mail truck and used it to ferry sick and elderly residents.
Police officers were asking residents to give up any guns they had before they boarded buses and trucks because police desperately needed the firepower: Some officers who had been stranded on the roof of a motel said they were being shot at overnight."
Woman from Oakland Video comes forward
The woman who was severely beaten by an all black mob in the notorious "Oakland Video" has come forward. She never reported the beating to cops because she was scared and did not trust the Oakland Police to protect her. The reason for the beating was because she turned down an offer by a pimp. Oakland, which is less than 18% white, has come to resemble a third world country. Is this a glimpse into the future of America?
Below is from the Dailey Review
Mass Looting in New Orleans, Martial Law considered.
New Orleans is being looted in mass. Video and images of looters running through the streets with stolen goods is flooding the media. Residential homes are even being ravaged by looters. It is believed that looting could continue as long as the power is out and streets remain to flooded for police to move around freely.
Car carrying Al Sharpton clocked at 110 mph in a 65 mph after leaving Crawford, Texas.
Al Sharpton must think laws don't apply to him. His driver was clocked doing 110 mph in a 65 mph after leaving Crawford, Texas with Al Sharpton in the car with him. The police report says that sherif's deputies chased the car for nine miles. The car was impounded and the driver was arrested for evading with a vehicle and reckless driving. He posted a $1,000 bond.
What is meant by "progressive politics"?
made up term. A bunch of underachievers with low GPA's and usually into Communism and Marxism.

Answer: I would throw this at two reporters and see if they will refer the situation to the appropriate beat reporters.
Reporters will keep you off the record, if need be. Just provide names, titles and phone numbers to let the journalists do their job.
a. Steven Hymon, Call L.A. Times:
(800) 528-4637. Press "0" and ask for him by name. You will be transfered. Leave your name and number, if you hit voice mail.

S S SAM TAYLOR, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF RICK ORLOV? IS HE DEDICATED TO THE PEOPLE OR POLITICIANS. WILL HE RAT SOMEONE OUT OR NOT?
12:04 you're pointless. Why should Jesse Jackson and the NOI pick up the slack for what they already pay the government to do through taxes? What "red" leader is out there making sure that the "red" citizens of New Orleans are evacuated? Heck what are YOU doing for "your people" down there Mr. Activism? You're the hypocrite.
p.s. Of course you care about color. That's what you based your entire post on.
Mr. Red is actually Mr. green. He supports nature and is a vegan. His name is Al Sharpton.
Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition is low on funds, they must need funds fast.
Call it racism JR...go for it.
So I suppose the "outing" of the blog moderators is just a cheap, concocted means of trying to let Chief Parker skate on his repeated promises to reveal the fake 80 NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH ORGANIZATIONS -- Villaraigosa's only claim to any kind of significant service to CD14 while it's CM.
That's a pretty elaborate ruse to run, just to avoid keeping a promise, especially since we all knew it was a lie to begin with, and "CHIEF FAKER'S" lies were even worse. Take a lesson from AV, the master. Just don't even bother trying to keep promises. Most people forget, anyway. . .
This Blog is becoming incoherent and boring. I think Mayor Sam has finally lost his marbles and is spewing nonsense. Most of this blog is a gigantic yawn. Get some real inside news and stop reprinting what's already out there.
We demand and deserve more inside info; we want the real scoop not a retread.
RIGHT, we pay good money. . . we DEMAND. . .

IS HE DEDICATED TO THE PEOPLE OR POLITICIANS.
WILL HE RAT SOMEONE OUT OR NOT?

Rick is a fine man. A Great Reporter. Loves to dig.
The reason I didn't mention him is the nature of the request: Fraud at LAX. Sadly, the Daily News is too thinly staffed to really cover the airport on an issue like this.
I would recommend Daily News investigative journalist Beth Barrett 818-713-3731. However, there must be some type of San
Fernando Valley nexus to get their attention.
If this fraud can be tied to the Valley, call Beth too.

“The community depends on our clinics to provide affordable health care to their families. Ifmedical liability rates are increased for physicians, they will have to reduce their caseload ofuninsured patients in favor of insured patients who can help them pay the higher rates.”Rudy Diaz, executive director, Community Health Foundation of East Los Angeles, at a Los Angeles news conference,February 18, 1999
You know who blew that outreach money, Rudy Diaz, the Executive Director of Community Health Foundation. You know who his wife was, Deborah Villar, Tony's sister. Look into that million dollar house they bought in Glendale. Not bad for someone who used to work at the Broadway perfume counter.
My son has an assignment from school. To write on a polticial figure that he looks up to, he chose Gloria Molina. I told him she did not graduate from college and about the money laundering. He was so upset to see his idol fall, I feel bad.
I didn't know this:
Mexicans showed Californians how to pan for gold and introduced the technique of using mercury to separate silver from worthless ores. Certain foods commonin the U.S. are of Hispanic origin: tacos, tortillas, Caesar salad, and chili con carne, which was invented about 1880 by Mexican-Americans living in Texas. In 1992, salsa outsold ketchup for the first tine in the United States.

"Se trata de Brian Hay, consultor político de Bob Hertzberg, Michael Higby, activista comunitario del Valle de San Fernando, y Mike Trujillo, vocero de la campaña de Bob Reiner para dar atención preescolar a todos los niños."
-----JAIME IS BIASED AND WILL NOT TELL THE SPANISH SPEAKING READERS, TRUJILLO WAS A VOLUNTEER FOR VILLARAIGOSA AND CHOFER.
"Respecto al blog Mayor Sam´s específicamente, nunca me pareció bien que publicaran una serie de insultos desmedidos contra Villaraigosa, llenos de odio racial, durante la campaña primaria. Eran mensajes de los lectores, pero yo jamás he aceptado en mi blog esa clase de mensajes. Cuando llegan, los borro. Aunque acepto los que se oponen o critican mis artículos, siempre que no entren a frases insultantes como las que leí en Mayor Sam´s."
HE AGAIN STATES HOW HE DOESN'T AGREE WITH ANON POSTINGS ABOUT VILLARAIGOSA...BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, KEEP WRITING BIASED CRAP JAIME.
You expect him to share your hostility?
You expect him to share your hostility?
THERE YOU CULTISTS GO AGAIN with that expecting accountability = hostility!
The less accountable they are, he harder they eventually fall.
Gracias jaime por ser tan pendejo.
Minister Tony Muhammad and the Rev. Lewis Logan, II. These guys aren't ministers they're racist, radical militants, threatening morons. They use race to get their message across and then threaten police officers and the city if they don't get their way. Read their philosophy. There's innocent people being killed every week in South LA and these idiots think its all about them. Joe Hicks was right that Tony Mohammed is trying to make a name for himself here in LA politics with the help of Antonio and Danny Bakewell and Johh Mack. All a bunch of crybabies that have done absolutely nothing for their own people and community.
Who would hire these guys? They've proven you can't trust them. Kevin Roderick at least didn't hide behind a screen name. What I want to know is if these guys don't think they were doing anything wrong WHY DID THEY HIDE BEHIND SCREEN NAMES???????

The election reflections
Who the hell are these Planning Commissioners? Some of these people are randoms! Does anyone know who else was in the running and why the times said "barring last minute changes" does the Mayor actually tell these people before publicizing it...other commissioners have opted not to serve...who are these planning people...they could be deciding the planning future of the city, Yikes!
I love Rick Orlov. He would never rat you out. He would never rat anyone out. He just listens. And listens.
I think he is the most respected political reporter in the city of LA.
Daily News....City attorney: Foe of LAX expansion can be on panel
A longtime opponent of expansion plans at Los Angeles International Airport can serve as a member of the city Airport Commission - AS LONG AS SHE RECUSES HERSELF FROM DECISIONS INVOLVING A LAWSUIT over airport modernization, the City Attorney's Office said Friday.
The legal opinion regarding Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's nomination of attorney Valeria Velasco of Playa Del Rey, however, also raised questions on how effective she could be on the seven-member panel overseeing airport operations.
Velasco had been president of a group known as ARSAC that opposed the $11 billion modernization plan for LAX and filed suit in January to try to block its implementation.
I can't believe ANTONIO is inviting the NO victims to LA when we already have a homeless population of 10,000 and many of them with no shelter. Is he crazy? He's also asking airlines to give free tickets for them to fly here. Also has 70 of our police officers ready to go. He's sending 1,000 paid city workers to volunteer.
What is he thinking? They already have the Nat'l Guard and enough volunteers from cities closer by. If he was smart (and we all know he's not) why didn't he think of starting a donation campaign throughout the city? DUMB DUMB DUMB
OK. Black people should stop paying taxes and devote all that money to funding PUSH and NOI. That way Jesse Jackson and Tony Muhammad can concentrate on assiting black people (only)whenever disater strikes. Of course with all that money, Jesse and the NOI would have a lot of other ideas about what to do in (or to) this country. Either way, conservatives will be so happy that black people have adopted a "no-taxation" mantra and are "taking care of themselves" Great idea.
Previous anon,
You are an idiot...We all pay taxes, period!
4:00 anon ... You are a crackhead. Posters here keep asking why Jesse and NOI didn't organize their own evacuation and relief efforts. Jesse and U.S. Muslims already pay taxes and should fully expect the government to respond adequately to a catastrophe (what is FEMA for again?) and have a right to complain when they feel that responsibility is not being met. If "others" think Jesse/NOI can't complain, they and others shouldn't have to pay taxes to fund irresponsive orgs, bureaus, programs, etc. and should fund those orgs that "others" feel are "responsible for taking care of their own." Master paradox, satire, reading comprehension, graduate from at least middle school, THEN post. Idiot.
Is Mark Dierking, an ex-Padilla staffer,
Alex Padilla's Baby daddy?
Something is fishy here, and it isn't the water in the Dam,
