Legal?

This photo was just sent to us from "Paul Gonzalez Supporter" asking if this sign was posted legally.

Ummmmm. My guess is NO!

This construction traffic sign is located on York Blvd. about three blocks east of Eagle Rock Blvd.

Interesting how all the huizar opponents have to connect 9 different elvis conspiracy theories to get something that sounds remotely negative, while pacheco and his idiot team put all their illegal activity out there for the entire district to see.

if its this sort of blight that pacheco wants to start up again, he doesn't deserve to be the councilman.

You can't compare illegal signs to extortion of LAUSD funds. Also, this sign could have been put at this location by a Huizar operative. You guys are too gullible.

Parke is at it again. Took a sign from a house, placed it on an illegal area and claims Pacheco's staff did it. LAUSD scandal has you scared and jumpy Parke and Huizar?

I can bet that Paul or Jose or even that loser Juan put the sign there, took a photo and sent to you. Now the desperate candidates are coming out cause they don't have a chance in hell against Nick or Jose. There's the AV supporters once again attacking volunteers of the candidates. Stick to the issues morons but oh I forgot you can't cause your not intelligent enough. Pacheco is scarying everyone because he has grass root community support, experience, leadership and a record to back it all up. Jose has a failing LAUSD and Paul, Juan, Ruby and the rest have absolutely nothing but offer CD14 but a complete waste of time.

First off, Blogger 1:52 - It's obvious that you never supported Jose, so no need to try to pretend that you did. I've seen so many bloggings where that is the case, and it makes me laugh just to think of what logic goes into play to type it out.

Secondly, yes, MOST if not ALL candidates who are using campaign signage to promote their campaign have posted up their lawn signs ilegally in numerous locations. That includes Pacheco, Huizar, Gonzalez, Jimenez, Arceo (I saw a few in Eagle Rock for her by Vons). I'm sure that for every Pacheco sign that you photograph, you're bound to find one from another candidate.

So the real issue here is not that one candidate is doing it, but rather that so many of them are and will probably not pick them up when the campaign is over. They'll leave that for our Street Services crews to go out and do, instead of concentrating on dealing with the main issues that they are suppose to, leaving CD14 with less services available for a few weeks while they play mom and pick up after these candidates.

If you really want to send a message to these candidates, you should drive around with a pick up truck, photograph the signage where it's up ilegally, and then bring it down and drop them off at their campaign office with a copy of the photos taken. Now THAT is public service!

In response to those comments yesterday that the number of signs reflects actual votes...
Thats not always the case, some families or homeowners will let you put up a sign because the candidate came by or a neighbor came by and to avoid confrontation or bad feelings they say "sure go ahead" but on voting day they either vote for their real choice or don't vote at all. So don't rely on sheer visual presence of signs.

I totally agree with the campaigns must send out their volunteers to clean up the neighborhoods. A trully ethical would-be pol especially in a losing campaign would do so.

Pretty funny that. The people who paid money to advertise on the benches were pissed though (and Paul and his krew -- guys like William Morrison -- put those up, themselves, in the middle of the night).

HERE'S how this should work.

When you file with the ethics commission, you put 5 percent of all your campaign contributions into a general fund (or $1,000, which ever is more - even if you never file), as a "cleaning deposit."

You lose $50 bucks or so automtically, for every sign posted illegally.

If you pull your own garbage down after the election, you get the rest back, less maybe $500 or so for administrative fees, or to handle anything that "appears" later.

Anyone turns IN a sign after that from out an about gets a buck, etc. etc.

What did I tell you about Mexicans with Jewish Ancestry, or those who claim it.

"Villaraigosa a Yemenite?"
Bobbi Murray, Contributing Writer


“Mayor Villaraigosa said many times during his campaign that he would lead a trip to Israel,” Weiss said in a phone interview. “He feels a strong connection to Israel.”

Villaraigosa’s wife, Corina, and their two children were also among the guests, along with other consular officials...

...Villaraigosa has long had strong ties with the Jewish community. He grew up in Boyle Heights, a former Jewish enclave that became Latino. A Jewish teacher and mentor paid for him to take his college boards. And leading Jewish progressives and funders supported his political rise early on. Weiss said that Villaraigosa already has been to Israel twice before.

But Consul General Danoch, a fluent Spanish speaker, spied another semblance of connection. Danoch’s parents are originally from Yemen and when they “saw a picture of Antonio on television, they told Ehud that he looked like a Yemenite,” Weiss said. “The mayor got a big kick out of that.”

LA OBSERVED REPORTS THE BEST...

OLD NEWS, BUT GOOD NEWS

Villaraigosa's Florida money
Good piece of enterprise reporting by Copley's David Zahniser, who found that 19 employees of Miami-based Travel Traders, which operates hotel gift shops, are listed as giving $1000 each to Villaraigosa's runoff campaign. The donors included top executives and less well-paid staff such as a help desk manager and an executive assistant. When Zahniser called, most refused to say anything or seemed surprised their names were listed. Most, he found, also had been listed as contributors under a separate company name on the disclosure reports Villaraigosa filed during the primary. As Zahniser points out, if the firms actually made the contributions then put them in the names of employees to get around L.A.'s $1,000 limit — or reimbursed workers for pouring cash into a mayor's race 3,000 miles from Florida — it's against the law here and even gets prosecuted these days. Ask Pierce O'Donnell or Alan Casden. Villaraigosa campaign manager Ace Smith says the workers who didn't answer are entitled to their privacy, but Hahn consultant Kam Kuwata quipped, "If I wrote a $1,000 check, I would know, I would remember."

joe ramallo spokesman for Mayor Villaraigosa used to be assistant director of policy for Miami-Dade Mayor Alex Penelas.

Alex Penelas was the Mayor of Miami-Dade County. Hmmmm. what connections do we have?

Well, A BellSouth lobbyist pleaded guilty to a charge of making an illegal corporate contribution to former Miami-Dade County Mayor Alex Penelas' U.S. Senate campaign.

There was Manny the Manatee, a costume activists wore at public events and to bird-dog Miami Mayor Alex Penelas, a staunch supporter of the airport plan.

ECONOMIC IMPACT OF MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TOPS $18 BILLION ... support to
make it a world-class facility,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Alex Penelas. ...

Sergio Pino, a major home builder in Florida, hosted one fund-raising event for Villaraigosa on April 13. Hours later, Villaraigosa attended a fund-raising dinner hosted by Bernard Klepach, president of DTR Travel Retail, which operates one store and three kiosks at Los Angeles International Airport.

Miami-Dade County Inspector General Christopher Mazzella, whose office investigates waste and abuse of taxpayer funds, found in 2002 that Pino and three joint venture partners received more than $14.6 million over six years to operate airport duty free shops even though they had not "performed any real work or provided any actual services."

SERGIO PINO VILLARAIGOSA AND RAMALLO FRIEND AND $$$$ FUNDRAISER.

whitehouseforsale.org

Cuban-born Sergio Pino ran a plumbing company before he founded the precursor to Century Builders in 1987. It is the largest homebuilder in the Miami-Dade area and the centerpiece of his larger Century Partners Group. The Miami Herald featured Pino in a 1999 expose on how local politicians used Miami International Airport “as a billion-dollar piggy bank to enrich their friends and campaign contributors.” Noting that Pino was a top donor to Mayor Alex Penelas and contributed to the campaigns of most local commissioners, the article said recipients of the airport’s dutry-free concessions cut Pino into the deal for his political connections and to meet bid specifications mandating the inclusion of “disadvantaged businessmen.” This particular “disadvantaged” businessman owned a waterfront home and a 54-foot yacht. A 2002 county Inspector General report accused Pino and other minority partners in the airport contracts of doing no work in exchange for their cut. Active in the anti-Castro movement, Pino has raised money from investors to build housing in Cuba after Castro’s downfall. “There won’t be enough flights, enough hotels, enough anything in Cuba to accommodate us all,” he told USA Today. Pino is a former board member of Jeb Bush’s Foundation for Florida’s Future. Governor Bush appointed him to the state Transportaiton Commission with Pioneers David Brown and Mark Guzzetta and to the board of Florida Atlantic University.

Another Villaraigosa Miami fundraiser friend- Sergio Pino.

Report: Airport partners unduly earned $14.6 million-- MIAMI - Four partners of a venture that runs airport duty-free shops have earned more than $14.6 million despite having performed no work, according to a report by the Miami-Dade County inspector general.
The joint venture won a contract at Miami International Airport, and the four partners were brought in to satisfy a requirement for the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program....
Under the program, these partners were picked: Sergio Pino, a major political fund-raiser and tract-home builder; Carole Ann Taylor, a former aide to ex-Commissioner Maurice Ferre; Jorge de Cardenas, a longtime lobbyist who later served time in federal prison for his involvement in a Miami kickback scandal; and Maria Argudin, an assistant city clerk in Miami...."
But despite the partners' repeated promises to do work, they did none, said the report released Tuesday. They simply showed up at quarterly meetings and collected their checks, the report said.

The report shows wholesale contract violations and numerous misrepresentations to the Federal Aviation Administration and the county, which it says "discredit the program at Miami International Airport."

It also finds that the airport staff members failed to monitor the contract as they were required to do and ignored evidence of noncompliance brought to their attention.

The four minority partners acknowledge some errors in complying with program requirements, but deny that they have done no work, according to their attorney, Andres Rivero.

There is more on Villaraigosa's Miami "friends"

Do you know what type of friends Villaraigosa has in Miami?

Sylvester Lukis a Miami lobbyist, who hosted a reception for Villaraigosa in Florida

"...Sylvester Lukis, a Miami lobbyist, and his wife, former Lee County commissioner Vicki Lopez-Wolfe, stood accused of bribery, extortion, influence peddling, and mail fraud. According to government investigators, the couple had begun an illicit love affair in the spring of 1991 and soon after embarked on a complicated criminal conspiracy. Prosecutors claimed that Lukis, a married family man at the time, had seduced Lopez-Wolfe with the promise of higher office and bribed her with money and gifts; Lopez-Wolfe, then a controversial young political starlet, had allegedly sold her vote on multimillion dollar bond deals and construction contracts, and so deprived the citizens of Lee County of her "honest services" as an elected official. Along the way, the couple had lied to the press, deceived each other, and Lukis hired a Miami private eye to shadow their enemies. At one point they had used a surveillance videotape to try to blackmail a candidate into dropping out of a county commission race.
If convicted on all eleven charges in this public corruption trial, Sylvester Lukis and Vicki Lopez-Lukis, as she was now known, would each face a maximum penalty of 60 years in federal prison and $2.7 million in fines..."

But, if your polling shows you losing, and your resume from the LAUSD tells the story of someone who has accomplished nothing but building schools and collecting money for a campaign with no opposition, from the builders of the schools, than it figures you'd go after supporters and wait for AV to do your work for you.

I think the fire in the bellies was there too, when a group of La Colectiva kids weren't paid. Because when you do a hard days work and you aren't paid for it, there tends to be the same fire in the belly as well.

Only if Nick Pacheco and his La Colectiva buddies had paid their debt everything would be fine.

Everything is fine. Was La Colectiva ever taken to court or fined for non payment of wages - no. Those wages were owed by Xaiver Becerra. That has already been explained here - right before Chief Parker - aka Pussy Trujillo - went a.w.o.l.. I suspect you are Trujillo posting as an anon.

Were are those so called kids that didn't get paid, obivoulsy you're not one of them.

When the Hui-czarists have to keep pulling up "La Colectiva" every other thread to make out like they can do Pacheco some harm in this contest - especially with a candidate who's been running one the LEAST RESPECTED governmental organizations in L.A. (LAUSD) for two years, they are REALLY hurting -- just like the Hahn people trying to bring up old bar fights against Villaraigosa earlier this year when the blood was in the water.

You guys would be better off trying to run Doug Dowie against Pacheco, than Huizar... at least people in the city KNOW who he is.

DEAD in the water, and flailing for ANYTHING that can do the front runner some harm.

TWO Bad.

Get over it, that bird won't fly anymore. You can't continue to bring something up that's not true and been proven to be not true. People know when your desperate, and we hear Jose's cries of surrender.

It's over and the fat lady is singing...as a matter of fact it's blaring.

Huizar and Skelton will keep trying to pin Becerra's shit on Pacheco. And where is Becerra anyway - more gun shy than Reyes these days.

The irony here is that Huizar's campaign is headquartered at the former La Colectiva house and Huizar used to be a big fan of La Colectiva, even helping them with some legal issues.

Despite all these lies that Skelton has been pinning on Pacheco, Huizar still endorsed him in 2003. Why?

A. Villaraigosa has caused deaths of INNOCENT VICTMS by opposing gang injunctions, TARNISHED THE DREAMS OF A NEW SCHOOL AND SIDED WITH RICHARD MERUELO, Jose Huizar is no innocent bystander in all of this, Villaraigosa is a flip flopper on major issues, has shown NO LEADERSHIP, and is in cahoots with VIGNALI and SON. These are just some of his long list of adventures. He has no regard for his fellow man, no regard for the future of kids in Los Angeles.
Do you have any idea of how much damage 1,000 kilos of cocaine can do? Well, 800 pounds of cocaine could effectively provide one rock of crack for every kid in Los Angeles. It's 1,000 kilos less, but still, a substantial amount of cocaine.

There are black co-defendants who are still in jail and will be for a long time. But Carlos Vignali is now out. He is a white man. KING: Because he had influence...

Ms. Dalila Sotelo (Eagle Rocker),

What about the close Huizar-Torres relationship?

They went to UC Berkeley together, Torres was the Huizar family attorney and they know each other very well. Better than Pacheco knows Torres. There is more there than meets the eye. You do a little digging and there is muchmore there.

Does it have his signature or not? He either meant to send it or not, or the campaign sent it out. If he did not know if went out, it truly does show how far removed he is from his own campaign. that is how he will govern the district, far removed.

And you live above Hill Drive!

You lost my vote Huizar, I have been browsing the internet for news about you and I found this site. It is difficult to understand why you have hired this type of staff to say so many weird things. I am not voting for you anymore, sorry, change your staff and then we will think about it.

Jim Hahn vs. The Valley
by Mayor Sam
5 May 2005 at 12:42am
A member of the Hahn Cut & Paste Crew decided to bring over a negative letter on Tony Villar to the Sister City from today's Daily News. He forgot to bring over the other one in which a Valley resident praised Tony Villar and detailed some of Jim Hahn's many broken promises to the Valley.

Re "Villaraigosa for mayor" (Editorial, May 1):

Thank you, Daily News: Your endorsement of Antonio Villaraigosa was refreshing and 100 percent correct. This Valley voter wants the guy that gave LAFCO the $1.3 million to study secession so my neighbors could have a chance at independence.

This Valley voter wants the guy that opposes Van Nuys airport noise pollution. Wants to shut down Sunshine and Bradley dumps - as a city councilman he has provided 359 cops, compare that with Hahn's broken promises. Hahn's only accomplishment in his four years is his penchant for FBI investigations and DA inquiries, what an embarrassment.

I JUST WANT TO SAY TO ALL YOU CD14 PEOPLE THAT PLAN TO VOTE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS THAT PACHECO IS A GOOD PERSON AND WAS AN EXCELLENT COUNCILMEMBER. I WORK FOR THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES AND HAVE EXPOSURE TO A LOT OF POLITICAL DECISIONS AND PRESSURES. I AM AMAZED ON HOW PRO HUIZAR PEOPLE ATTEMPT TO MAKE PACHECO LOOK INCOMPETENT. THE BEST THING TO DO IS LOOK AT HIS RECORD AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS. HE HAD A LOT OF PROJECTS THAT WERE COMLETED AND EVEN DELAYED DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE WAS NO LONGER COUNCILMEMBER BECAUSE HE GOT BEAT BY SOMEONE WHO HAD BETTER CAMPAIGN STRATEGY. I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT TYPE OF JOB ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA DID AS COUNCILMMEMBER BUT TWO YEARS IS NOT ENOUGH TIME TO GET ANYTHING ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE CITY'S BEAURACRACY, EVEN FOR COUNCILMEMBERS AND MAYOR. THOSE OF YOU IN CD14 WHO CONTINUE TO BASH PACHECO ARE TRYING TO CONVINCE OTHERS THAT HE'S A BAD AND DECEPTIVE PERSON AND NOT SUITABLE FOR COUNCILMEMBER. HIS RECORD SPEAKS FOR ITSELF AND IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. SPIN ALL YOU WANT ANTI-PACHECO FOLKS BUT THOSE WHO ARE AWARE OF HIS DEDICATION KNOW THE TRUTH. I HOPE HE DOES WIN THIS ELECTION BECAUSE HE WAS A GOOD COUNCILMEMBER WHO APPARENTLY DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHT CAMPAIGN MANAGER TO WIN RE-ELECTION. IT'S ALL IN HOW YOU PLAY THE GAME AND APPARENTLY ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA PLAYED THE GAME BETTER AND WON. NOW HOPEFULLY PACHECO LEARNED FROM THIS EXPERIENCE AND WILL LET HIS REPUTATION AS A CITY COUNCILMEMBER SPEAK FOR ITSELF. THANK YOU

Reality; Pacheco and/or Huizar have no time for this nonses, this are professional people. No one is going to hire someone to destroy their own campaign. People like Art Pullido may have decided to support Pacheco, is call freedom of speech. For those of you that have based your decision on what is written on the blog by nameless individuals, well good luck to you. THE FACT IS, DISTRICT 14TH NEEDS A CANDIDATE THAT IS GOING TO DO THE JOB NEEDED, AND STAY FOR THE DURATION. THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS TO D14.
