Looks like Zine is in big trouble with other council members. I agree with them that Zine shouldn't have opened his big mouth especially being a former cop and told the whole world that the red light cameras were turned off. ZIDIOT!!!
LA Times Zine Draws Peers' Flak for red-light camera remarks
Even padilla is getting in on the special election....opportunistic or clever I might say...
Padilla opening a state committee to funnel city race money and throw his image on mailers to make up for his League of Cities backing prop 76. Let me guess, he's gonna blanket the 20th Senate with money raised for his March UNOPPOSED city race?
"PADILLA COMMITTEE, NO ON 74, 75, 76 & 77: MAJOR FUNDING BY LOS ANGELES CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT, ALEX" has just opened.

So what else should residents of L.A. NOT know?
We pay the taxes to run this City and come to find out that some of things we THOUGHT we were paying for are NOT actually operating. Why shouldn't residents know that those expensive fuc*ing cameras are turned off?
Are we going to find out later that we actually DON'T have the number of law enforcement officers they say we do? Is an inflated number of officers another
"deterrent"? Do our officers use cap guns? C'mon.
9:01 a.m.
They've also unplugged all the parking meters (Shhhh!)- don't tell.
Sorry, I have too much evidence of my own that says otherwise.
In an effort to PAD his list of endorsements further, to cover a lack of positions he's taken and accomplishments. Huizar's people have already listed at least one umbrella organization that has never met OR voted to endorse him, OR told its member organizations that it "has."
NOW, they've started inventing names of groups to fill space. This "endorsing" organization name appears on his website:
Women For:
That's it, just "Women for(colon)"
Now EITHER this is a typo, or it's a support group for people who don't want to have their colons removed, or it's just a catch-all in case some women WANT to support Huizar, but don't yet belong to any particular group. A little research however shows some further details on this group.
Their purpose is(period)
They meet at(exclamation point)
Dues are(ampersand)
Membership includes(semi-colon)
And, (of course)...
They endorse a big (zero)
There you go again, running off at the mouth without knowing what you're talking about.
Women For is a progressive organization of 1,800 politically active members that, for over thirty years, has been a leading advocate for many of the political, economic, environmental and civil-liberties causes which have been of great concern to the women of Los Angeles.
Go to the website, dipsh*t and learn. Just another example your candidate is going to lose.

Funny, that organization 1) doesn't list a Huizar endorsement (are they ashamed?)
AND, 2) they're based in BEVELRY HILLS! (what part of CD14 is THAT?)
What part of Los ANgeles is that?
They DID endorse a Big ZERO, though (fun while it lasted).
SO the Lady guild of BH likes Jose.
Good on 'em.
12:20 p.m.
Is this what you were also referring to, the North L.A. Open Space Coalition. That advertises itself as a coalition of community groups that includes certified neighboirhood councils (which can't endorse), ad well as 501c3 and other inforporated non-profits, which can't endorse.
How did they VOTE to ednorse a political candiate. Hiizar has mentioned this endorsement before, but the group never put out any kinds of release. I belong to one of the groups under its umbrella and nothing has been said at all.
Funny, he does list that colaition it on his site, but there is no media release. You would think he would pump that heavy as big an issue as it in that district.
Who runs that group? Officers? Anyone?
Good head fake, 12:20 p.m.
They bit on the decoy, and opened up a can of worms on the NC-membership group making an illegal endorsement.
Hmmm, none of the Huizar boosters seem to want to answer that one 12:47 p.m.
Sounds juicy!
Easy broads, apparently...
Women for (just about anything!)
My kind of GALS!
KUDOS to Mayor Sam and Frank. the blog has obviously been elevated back to "prime source" status at least with the Huizar crowd. Ever since the re-endorsment of Pacheco yesterday, they've had some relatively knowledgeable stationed here almost 24/7 trying to do damage control and sping back, or at least distract - on nearly every thread.
A couple weeks ago, the CD14 bloggers had free reign, but things must be looking dicey for Huizar and they don't want any late "messages" getting through that might reveal his true "not yet ready" to lead status, as explained in your endorsement statements.
Right. Because this blog is really going to sway voters. What Huizar wouldn't give for Mayor Sam's endorsement. . .
I'm sure he'd trade the LA Times, La Opinion, or all of his Councilmember endorsements.
He'd even give up that huge pile of money that's paying for the mail hitting voting households between now and election day.
He'd easily give up the hundreds of Union volunteers that are going to walk for him this weekend and on election day.
NAH, Huizar would give ANYTHING if the bloggers here wouldn't keep making him look like a puppy dog that AV's still potty training (because the press IS watching and IS looking for last minute dirt... and they've FOUND it here before).
"Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women . . ."
Keep prayin' for a miracle.
The only player on his knees during this contest has been Jose, who's been following AV's backside around like an abandoned runt looking for an extra teet.
He's on his knees, and his lips are moving, but I DON'T think he's praying (expect maybe that it'll go fast and not make too much of a mess).
4:18 - don't know who you are, but that was actually very funny, for once. Tuesday will be the test on whether it was worth it all.
4:18
Of course, he's not praying. He's performing his "civil service" to the Mayor Clinton, oops I mean Villaraigosa
Worth it to whom?
You politicos are only ever concerned with who wins, and who losers, and who gets to move to the next big position.
Antonio V. screwed the Eastside, royally - more than just by bailing before accomplishing anything, but also by guaranteeing that there would have to be ANOTHER nasty divise fight (who cares, as long as his "boy" wins, right?) And then MAYBE another in January, and GOD -- a special election for SCHOOL BOARD if Huizar wins?
Then about the time the paint dries on the blue signs outside the field offices that says COUNCILMEMBER XYZ, CD14, the gloves come off AGAIN, for another damn year of nastiness for the 2007 campaign. Another 12 months of having neighbors spit at each other because we're all on the wrong "team." And the only way to avoid this is to roll over and just let him run some one-party state where all his people get in place, and no one contests them. We know what that's called (and it ain't NEW!)
Thanks Antonio, you're REALLY bringing L.A' "together" in a new era of "brotherhood"
Yeah, CAIN and ABEL, brotherhood.
PSST, psst. Pass it on FAKE endorsements In Huizar's column from community groups with certified city neighborhood council organizational membership AND 501(c)3s. Follow the story, people. No votes, not "advise and consent" from member groups. Low-down, in NELA town!
Duplicate boards, listing themselves twice for more bang, violating (for the NCs) city ethics laws. Dig, dig, dig. Scroll back, look around. "Pocket" endorsements only mentioned to tiny support groups (secret to others).
Looks like ol' Zev should have penciled in some railroad like crossing signals on his famous orange line napkin. What a complete idiot. Third world transport for SFV. Way to go, Zev!
