Meat for the CD 14 Crowd
The LA Weekly runs "Propostition Arnold: Election '05 -- José vs. Nick -- The past confronts the future for control of L.A.’s Eastside political machine"Favorite excerpt:
“Republican,” Huizar says, looking at his list and ringing the next doorbell. A woman answers.Martini Republic adds their two cents as well on the LA Weekly article.
“Sorry to bother you on a Friday evening,” the candidate begins, but he’s cut off.
“You know, I’ve already picked somebody,” the woman says. “Nick Pacheco. I liked him when he was our councilman before. I was sort of brokenhearted when Vila-Garosa won. But now we have him as mayor.”
The LA Times runs "Spending Limit for Council Race Lifted." Article follows...
The $330,000 spending limit on the race for the City Council seat for District 14 has been lifted, so candidates can spend as much as they would like.
Two groups — the California State Council of Service Employees and the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees International Union — have together spent $51,153 on independent materials in support of Jose Huizar.
The limit is lifted after independent expenditures for any one candidate tops $50,000.

Who lifted the spending limits?
Was it voted on or what?
Love this...Ten of the 13 City Council members, including most of those who worked alongside Pacheco when he was one of them, have backed Huizar. So has former Mayor Richard Riordan, who once was Pacheco’s highest-profile backer. Democrats, Republicans, labor, big business. All are onboard with Huizar. Why? Two reasons, apparently. One, that’s where Villaraigosa wants them, and he’s the most powerful man in town at the moment. “I really need to get my projects through City Hall, and I don’t need the mayor mad at me,” one council member explained under condition, of course, of anonymity.
That LA Weekly states that the only thing Jose has is Antonio's endorsement. How can Jose be passionate in 2003 and walk and campaign HARD for Nick then all of a sudden cause Antonio is mayor switch his alliance? Jose bad mouthed Antonio worst then anyone I know. He told the community Antonio is lying to you and he's going to run for Mayor. Jose is a gutless man with no balls. He has no character or integrity if he doesn't see anything wrong with how he's behaving.
All that money and still getting his ass handed to him. Long live Grass Roots campaigns - the true embodiment of democracy!
Yeah it's funny how Huizar "volunteers" - we know they are all getting paid - are now saying that "Pacheco didn't do anything." If that is the case, why did Huizar endorse him in 2003? What has changed? Huizar people are starting to target known Pacheco voters and trying to convince them to turn - I guess they realize they don't have enough votes. They are spending 1/2 and hour or more, door to door, trying to convince people to switch their votes. Rule #1 in door to door campaigning, don't spend more then 5 minutes at a door - you can get more votes by not arguing. Oh wait, there are no more votes for Huizar.
Why are Washington and Sacramento special interests supporting Huizar with Independent Expenditures? Down the line local taxpayers - residents of CD14 and the city - are going to pay the price for all this!
Is it true that some of Huizar's paid canvassers are actually walking for Nick. They call themselves guerrilla organizers. At least that's the talk in some popular East L.A. watering holes. If this is true, chalk one up for the underdog. I wonder if Nick will report this on his fundraising reports. Is there any effective way of keeping track of field canvassers?
How much does a Councilmember make?
Is it around $145,000? And some running for CD14 are spending close to 3 times this amount.
I wonder what is going on in Martin Ludlow's former council district 10? Is it official yet that Herb Wesson is the Councilmen?
All over (in CD10) but the drive-by shooting. . .

I wonder which 3 didn't back Huizar?
Could Janice Hahn or Jan Perry be one of the three?
Jan Perry, Janice Hahn & Dennis Zine
12:20
How come I'm not surprised that the only City Councilmembers with dignity, respect, fortitude and courage (The ones I have respect for) are the one's who didn't endorse Huizar.
Am I wrong for feeling that way.
Again Janice, atagirl!!!
Hold on cause after you read the latest in LA Weekly on what a bitch Jan Perry can be you may change those nice words about her. Another story in same mag states how Perry has been dumping homeless in her district.

Jan Perry's LAPD Blues
The councilwoman can't nail her foe
by JEFFREY ANDERSON
Councilwoman Jan Perry's charges of police misconduct against Peter Torres, her opponent in last spring's election, have been shot down by the Los Angeles Police Department's Internal Affairs Group, according to documents obtained by the Weekly.
LOOK I CAN EXCERPT FROM A COLUMN TOO:
The next house is a tougher sell. “I’m Nick Pacheco,” he says. “I was your councilman before, and I’m running to serve you again.”
A crusty-looking woman eyes him warily. “Pacheco, huh?” she says. “Yeah, I’ve heard of you. I think I’m going another way.”
Yea, that was the lady who works for DWP, the crusty lady. Heck she got a raise, leave her alone.
Yeah i know her too she is Lauro Nicholas Pacheco's mother. AKA "Nick".
What your name is Lauro. WTF.
HAHAHA! your own mother is not voting for you.
2:06 Typical thug who works for Huizar and worked for AV. Desperation brings the worst or best out of some, in your case, it brought out your clueless mind.
Hey Lauro "Nick" i guess your Dad wanted a daughter hu?
Funny. How old are you 10. Better drink gingko biloba and get some of those brain cells working from all the abuse you gave it.
Analyze this...when desperation hits a campaign office which happened to some already as we read, you will see nonsense such as some previous posters. This poster is not only on some illegal substance, but pretty stupid. Where do you work, in one of the rooms towards the little hall at the boyle heights Huizar office. Any donuts today, the white ones that you like asshole.
Hey Eric Robles some of this blogs sound like you. So are you swinging for both teams? I wouldn't trust him with his owm mother.
I like Eric leave him alone.
OK, who was tasked with hiring the babysitter for Huizar's campaign office and forgot!?
"Lauro" is, I believe, also Pacheco's father's name -- as well as the name (Lauro Pacheco) of a famous Filipino movie director.
But, I don't really think people who work for the campaign of a guy whose last name sounds like the symptoms of a serious respiratory infection should be throwing any "name" stones.

Read it carefully. Jan isn't DUMPING homeless in her district, she's actually provided services FOR THEM in her district, A big difference.
All this is, Is Political Grandstanding by Peter Torres when Jan Perry leaves and names a predecessor he'll would have drug her name in the mud so badly that he'll look like the right guy.
Well the rumor is out the Senator Cedillo might take a stab at CD 9 after Perry is out.
Cedillo for the 9th great news.
G**Damn Term Limits. Nothing more than political musical chairs.
Jan Perry has created 7 homeless shelters in CD9 to get rid of some of the homeless in downtown LA so all the big developers could make millions. Residents in CD9 are mad at Jan for busing in the homeless and now their all over the area. LA Weekly shows people what a vindictative bitch Jan can really be. She thinks she's above it all and I'm glad they nailed her.
5:15
So what's difference here between what Jan is doing compared to other Councilmen turned Mayors who did nothing about it, other than step on their necks on route to the 3rd Floor of City Hall?
At least Jan is trying to do something about and actually get some activity and businesses Downtwown and South LA.
Plus with those developers making the $$$ it would be recycled back into the city economy so that there's more services for the Homeless.
So you're statement actually makes Jan looks like one of the few councilmembers who is actually doing something in LA.
I know most working to middle class taxpayers like you and me aren't going to pay for it so why not provide these shelters so that business $$$ can invest in the city. Hell it worked for Guiliani in NYC.
Millions of dollars of development have gone on for years in downtown LA and what has Perry done about the homeless problem in her district? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
LA WEEKLY.COM
Perry has leveled previous charges against Torres that investigators dismissed as “unfounded,” according to Internal Affairs documents. In 1997, when Torres first ran for City Council, Perry, while chief of staff to incumbent Rita Walters, accused Torres of interfering at a polling location. “The allegations appear fabricated,” investigators noted, according to Internal Affairs documents. “Ms. Perry’s account of this incident and the allegation are not credible.”

In this ten minute video blog, moderated by Emmy Award winning host Leslie Dutton questions were raised as to the legality of the LAUSD use and method of repayment of non-voter approved Certificates of Participation (COP) bonds currently amounting to almost one billion dollars that funded the notorious Belmont Learning Center and other unknown projects. Others appearing on the video blog with Coupal, discussing little known facts about the LAUSD and the proposed $3.95 billion bond (Measure Y) on the November 2005 ballot are:
Let's keep talking sh!t about Eric Robles...hehehe.
The letters sent from Huizar state that Eric Robles is a volunteer. How can Eric live not making money? He took a leave of absence from the Congresswoman Roybal Allard. Someone is paying Eric and I wonder who. Also, no one has seen Eric Robles in the community or anywhere. Why is he hiding?
What are you talking about? All candidates have volunteers, and they can be from any city. You're making up shit.
2:18 PM Nah! That Eric dude is loyal. You want to talk about campaign swingers. Richard Riordan is a campaign swinger. He is RNC and plays with DNC.
Is this the same Eric Robles that helped Pedro Carillo lose to Fabian Nunez???
Yes it's thae same Eric that helped Carillo. I beleive Eric has resigned from Congresswoman Roybal- Allards office. Eric is indeed getting paid from Huizar, to the tune of 4500 a month. What a WASTE of MONEY!! He's a nice guy, but not worth that money.
He is worth it. He is cute, is he single?
Well Eric maybe worth it in the looks dept.,but in the knowing how to get volunteers dept. he is not worth the money. Yes, he is single as in not married, but he has a girlfriend. He also has a little alcohol issue. So precede with caution.
Archie Bunker:
Developers putting money back in the community? Yeah, and the Bush tax cuts will do miracles for the tanking US economy.
Asshole.
Mayor Frank:
Why delete the coments? I simply quoted a statement given to me by a friend regarding Eric Robles. Whatever his sexual preferences are, the comment was not accusing him, simply conveying what is commonly known around the Hizar camp.
He gets 4500 a month? that's Huziar paying off Lucille for her endorsement. He's not worth 45 bucs a day.
Anon 10/21, 8:21 am
BECAUSE THEY WON"T GET THE MONEY IF THEY DON'T SUPPORT JOSE. GET WITH IT. THEY ARE NOT RUNNING AROUND YELLING HIS NAME FROM ROOFTOPS. THEY KNOW THE DRILL, WHAT'S TELLING IS THEY ARE SENDING MESSAGES TO ANOTHER...
THEY KNOW THE DRILL, AND ARE WORKING THE BACKROUND TO ENSURE ANOTHER IS ELECTED. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO LET TONY HOLD THEIR BALLS FOR 4 YEARS.
True, I 've talked to council and city staff who are volunteering for the other. They have to keep it on the sly, their bosses know, but if the mayor or his thugs find out they will lose their jobs. Some are calling from their own homes, others drive around making sure no one is following them, parking blocks away. The warning went out awhile ago. That's more telling...
Did anyone see what happened with Eric Robles and that volunteer (white married woman)? Did they have something going on during the campaign? How disgusting!!!
L.A.D.W.P what a bunch of lucky guys, work day consists of one hour and half of morning "coffee" break & when you arrive to the job another 45min to 1hour of talking about the job and B.S, which brings us to about 9-9:30am, work 2hours and then go for a 1hour lunch, get back at about 12:10 or so talk about the job again for another 20 min to 30 min,which bring us to 12:40 or so, start working for 2 more hard hours to work off that lunch from Hooters, and definetely stop working by 2:30 so you have enough time to go to Home Depot to buy that soap dish and dimmer outlet for the house. About 3 hours and 45 minutes of essential work out of a 9 hour day, thank god these guys got a huge raise because with looming "tool inspections" around the corner you need $$$$ to buy the best carne asada and chicken for that half day Bar B que. "What a bunch of luck guys"
