Random Tidbits and Rumors

It is rumored by a tipster that on Friday Villaraigosa will nominate Jane Usher to serve on the Planning Commission. She is a former Mayor Bradley legal counsel and widow of Harry Usher.

According to the Palisadian-Post, Flora Krisiloff, community activist, chairwoman of the Brentwood Community Council, and recent candidate for Council District 11, will join County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky's office as senior field deputy starting September 23.

It was rumored today, M. Villaraigosa has cancelled two events with Huizar, too upset at the poll and be a sink or swim day for Huizar on election day.

I heard the same thing about AV not being happy with Jose's deflated campaign. However, AV is not telling Jose he is unhappy so Jose will not drop out. AV is hoping for an eleventh hour miracal. The last thing AV wants is to have to see Pachuecos face at City Hall. Each day it looks more and more like we will be stuck with six years of Pachueco.

Antonio is already trying to cozy up to Pacheco. Overheard at the East L.A. 16th of September Parade, Antonio to Nick, "I've got to give you credit, the only person working harder in politics is me." Then they shook hands. All this while Huizar was sitting dumbfounded in his decorated care looking on. Antonio didn't get this far by being a fool, he sees the writing on the wall.

Of course Eric Robles is bungling things at the campaign. Do you think he has any campaign experience? Look at who his boss is, Lucille Allard - the last political race she was in was her father's 1948 city council race. The district was handed to her in 1987 out of respect for old man Roybal. She's never been challenged and performs her job accordingly - when you don't earn your spot you don't respect it. What could she teach Eric Robles, where the best sales are?

What about the getty house move by MAV? Does the city incur additional expenses by the family living there? Is this most proper thing to do given the current "budget crisis" that MAV describes? Or did he go to D.C. to secure funding for him to live in the mansion?

Of course, that guy who claimed to be Chief Parker took the fall for Villaraigosa. Some one had to take the blame. It would be embarrassing for Villaraigosa being caught red handed. Dear old Huggy Boy and AV had this account going. It is all a sham.

For me, I enjoy this site. One of my friends emailed the link to this site. so far so good.

You are right. I never thought of this before!

Mayor Sam-Michael Higby Friend of the Mayor and Bob Hertzberg.

Mayor Frank-Brian Hay took the fall for Bob Hertzberg.

Chief Parker-Michael Trujillo took the fall for Villariagosa.

All you dimwits are naive. They played everyone...sure they laugh at us, we bought what they fed and you still bite what was told to you about the so called revelations.

I'm doing my own investigation into this, I will not let this rest!

I am not a friend of the Mayor (except Mayor Frank).

I have never met Antonio Villaraigosa, never even seem him in person.

I am not a friend of Bob Hertzberg, but I have met him twice in my life. Once, when I was invited to a reception for Cruz Bustmante in 2000, and another time (chance meeting) last year at the Starbucks in Sherman Oaks. I have also had one telephone conversation with Hertzberg, that was in 1996 when he was running for assembly and he called me and asked me to vote for him. I did vote for him everytime that he ran for something and he is one of the few politicians whose ideas I like.

So keep investigating.

In fact - to show you how little of connection I have to the Hug man, Hertzberg bought ads on Kevin Roderick's blog - and others - but not mine. The only thing close to it was we got a random Google ad for Hertzberg. That probably earned us 5 cents.

Also Stuart Waldman will tell you that he was pissed at me for not getting involved in volunteering for Hertzberg. I simply did not have the time due to other interests.

So if you wish to continue to imply these is sort of relationship between me and Bob Hertzberg or Antonio Villaraigosa, financial or otherwise, you are bordering on slander.

LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS...

"...Higby, 40, of Sherman Oaks is the least politically active of those involved with the blog. While he has volunteered for some campaigns, he said his interests are his real estate business and humor.

It was Hay and Trujillo who provided the main political intrigue for the site.

Hay, who works for former Assembly Speaker Bob Hertzberg and oversaw his computer operations during his mayoral campaign, said he became active with the blog after Hertzberg's defeat in the primary election..."

Trujillo said he was involved only briefly with the blog and was one of several people who took on the role of the site's "Chief Parker" over the course of its existence.

I HOPE THEY ALL GET SUED OR IN BIG TROUBLE. HERTZBERG KNEW ABOUT THIS SITE BECAUSE I REMEMBER HIM POSTING DURING MAYORAL CAMPAIGN. Yup, someone will say anyone could have used his name but if Truijillo and others were working for Hertzberg then it goes back to him. B.S. Antonio, Huggy didn't know their supporters were posting. I think Antonio and Huggy were telling them what to post.

They wrote that ten people have rotated throught these characters?

If so, then these ten people had the password to login and post as the character, so they must be friends. This would get even more interesting if we find out for example that Trujillo allowed people like Parke Skelton, Villaraigosa, Ace Smith, or any other campaign participant to post using his name and password, the plot thickens.

Let's see if this gets deleted again. Why is Antonio creating After School Programs in LOUSISANA? LA TIMES today, Calif. Section. We need them here in LA with all the gang violence. The Community Deve. Agency is also setting aside $300,000 for more housing for about 5,000 evacuees coming to LA. We are in debt about $300 million and Antonio keeps spending money like water. Why didn't the taxpayers have a say in all this money he's spending? How much is the gala El Grito costing us that's going on Today and Tomorrow at city hall?

The only accomplishments Antonio can name is now he's going to fill 35,000 potholes and he's having a citywide community clean up. Great, residents are picking up brooms with the lack of leadership with this mayor.

I am reading all of the posts, one thing does bother me, maybe you can comment Mayor Frank.

Mayor Sam there is no connection, and Mayor Frank connected to Hertzberg, big deal. The one that bothers me is Mr. Michael (Mike) Trujillo.

After reading the posts, I find it odd he disclosed of ten people using his account here at Mayor Sam's Sister City. The 10 people have to be known to him and only him, also he is a behind the scenes operative. This type of shit, he is used to. It does not surprise me that he knowingly blogged here, Villaraigosa, Ace, Skelton and the crew better hope the attorney general does not look further into Trujillo, we might find him going to that freeway you guys tell that cut & paster to go to. Threatening? Who knows?

I have no issue with you Mayor Frank or with Mayor Sam. Chief Parker aka Michael Trujillo was accused to be an insider. Many anons posted theories and tried to guess on the identity of the Chief, all anons knew he had to be an insider.

Trujillo chose this path. He played with fire, used numerous people, posted on personal lives, released private information to post at this site, all for the big ASS KISS he can give Antonio. He holds the key to the truth on the fake story he fed the L.A. Times and Daily news. A subpoena will not shut this guy from blurting out the truth, the court must intervene. The law must find out if local politicians & their consultants meddled here and posted fabrications, personal information, and made slanderous statements of other politicians and their personal lives.

What does the court have to do with a local blog? Nothing but empty threats from local political operatives. I won't speculate who you are, but your spin games are lame. And don't try to spin that either.

This blog did a service for LA. If you little political operatives and Villaraigosa haters think otherwise then why do you continue to monitor and post on this blog? You obviously enjoy it as much as the rest of us do so at least admit that or else find somewhere else to go. I'm sure Pacheco needs some volunteers for his phonebank

Nayor Sam is somehow associated with AV whether he will admit or not. Am I the only one who notices that when an article is posted and it goes negative on AV all of a sudden Mayor Sam posts 4 more articles so the blogs get way to the bottom? Mayor Sam you have never posted so many articles in one day that are all these long posts. It started when they outed you.

As for Trujillo, he's a snake. He slandered, defamed and out right attacked innocent people on this blog using "Chief Parker."

Jose is doomed. Everyone knows including all his inside staff that are telling everyone in the community Jose is really worried. The tension is so thick at every community meeting Jose goes to. You should have seen it last night! Jose screwed up by aligning himself to AV.

Mayor Sam does blast us with garbage all of a sudden. It happens when anons post in reference to his broken promises, sister and money laundering, and the Molina crap that an anon posts on buying up property with $$$ from not for profit groups.

Still, we don't know he is connected. Maybe he likes the Mayor so much he will go overboard on protecting him. I agree with you, Trujillo is rotten. He was posting all kinds of shit on local politicians, all of a sudden he split from this site. Daddy must keep him 50 ft. away at all times, he wants no association with him and this blog.

This is the news I am hearing. Jose is scared and no CD 14 reps supporting him at the meetings. What is going on? I like Jose, but what happened to his team. Does he have one?

Nevertheless, AV's politicaly smart self knows it is NOT looking well for his boy Huizar. So he's making nice with Pacheco. Not a bad idea considering Pacheco is looking like the front runner these days. An older and wiser Pacheco has been heard saying when he wins he will embrass everyone, even folks that did not support him. Infact I hear he'll make a special effort to extend the olive branch to those who did not support him and ask how he can help THEM. Wow! That is NOT the same Pacheco who in 99 punished his non supporters. Give the man credit he's learned humility, BRAVO TO PACHECO!!
