School board plans "Flying beneath the radar" on election day

On a day when some of you are being asked to choose between a UTLA candidate, the Mayor's candidate, a 24-year-old and a guy who's not going to win, look how the LAUSD is on the verge of being finessed into the tricks pile of the Villaragosa alliance:

The Los Angeles Board of Supervisors, which appoints education board members, was set to discuss the plan today but has put it off for two weeks. Supervisors were to consider asking the state Board of Education to transfer the duties of the Los Angeles County Committee on School District Organization - an elected body - to its panel of appointees.

I'd ask the candidates what they think about that potential power move to bottlecap the District before serving it chilled over to Antonio, but it's election day, and they're all pretty busy. Ana Teresa, in fact, is scribbling her vision, Chris is busy with some coursework, and MonGar is still trying to figure out who's really running her campaign.

If you can vote, please vote! Even if you write in Fred Brito...he's just cleared parole, you know...he lives in the District, he's tanned, fit, and ready to serve, and he's behelden to nobody...as of yesterday, not even a parole officer!

FRAUD AND LIES STILL ON ARELLANO WEBSITE

1. Press release "Los Angeles County Democratic Party
Endorses Arellano". No mention that the endorsement was RESCINDED

2. "Christopher Arellano Earns Endorsements from Teachers Union and Sheriff Lee Baca"

No mention that da Sheriif took it back and slammed Chris for being a LIAR

3. "He is a longtime resident of the district who struggled to earn a Masters of Social Work and a Public Planning degree from USC."

So now that weasel replaces the outright lie about having the degrees with a totally ambiguous claim.
Chris obviously will fudge the truth as MUCH AS HE THINKS HE CAN GET AWAY WITH to help his sorry ass get on the public payroll.
Is this hustler a sane choice for making decisions about our schools and our kids?

I DONT THINK SO!!!!

The bottom line is that Monica's camp leaked the information about Chris because he was going to win outright today.

Yes Monica, we know you've claimed not to know about the leak re Chris, but it doesn't fly.

It's good to know that Monica will wallow with the pigs. However, I don't want her representing me because she's shown she will do anything to win.

I'm voting for Ana.

Let's get back to the subject. Antonio caught again using his people to get his message across in a very sneaky way. Why aren't the city council members reeling about this? How can his lawyer and by the way WE pay from our tax dollars be on another county committee. Is he a volunteer Thomas Sanez or does he get another salary???

Re 10:15 a.m. and Bauman's supposed suprise that the twice-convicted thief lied to him:

One of the detectives in "Law & Order" -- I think it was Mr. Big -- uttered a memorable and apt line upon learning that a criminal had failed to tell him the truth about something: "A thief who lies -- color me 'shocked.'"

In an interview, Arellano said he was unaware of a dispute about his record at UCLA, but he acknowledged he did not complete a required four units of classes for the Urban Planning component of the dual master's he has claimed at USC. He also said he fully completed the other of the two master's degrees, in social work.

4 units = 1 class.

Is this really that big of a deal? USC and UCLA not responding to reporter's requests is the real story. This Arellano story is a small bit of self-promotion blown totally out of proportion by reporters looking for a good headline.

His campaign should have been ready for this! That, to me, is the real story behind this. Why weren't his own people ready with a pre-made response to these accusations?

If Eli and frinds get involved Monica pulls off a squeeker........kind like the zippers and buttons that keep her fat in.

Hey Joe Mama

Here's a solution...

let's elect people with integrity.

What am I for?...

cleaning up local politics, starting at the top - Villaraigosa, all the way down to Monica Garcia, the current school board candidate.

What solutions do you want offered - union dues were stolen and a felony was committed. Should Martin just get community service? And Martin can't weather this storm - it is the perfect storm. Wait until you find out who ratted Ludlow out. It's hilarious! But the funny part is that this is only the start of Hurricane season in L.A. politics. You thought New Orleans had it bad, wait and see what's coming for Antonio's Team.

So it was with considerable glee this week that a top aide to a Dean opponent informed me that the former Vermont governor has just hired killer gumshoe Ace Smith to gather dirt on political rivals.

The very same Ace Smith who ran "oppo research" for sharp-elbowed, soon-to-be-ex-California Gov. Gray Davis - "puke campaigns," in the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

"Ace certainly has that jugular instinct," says an operative who has worked closely with him on Davis' campaigns.

The 44-year-old Smith - who operates from a San Francisco office building that was used in the movie "Dirty Harry" as a crazed sniper's perch - didn't sound pleased when I phoned him yesterday.

"I'm trying to be really low-key," he told me. "My name appearing in a newspaper somewhere doesn't do me a whole lot of good. I'm not doing anything tremendously interesting anyway.

I'm just helping them get their whole research department organized. It's really quite bureaucratic and boring."

Political consultants such as Smith can receive fees of as much as $30,000 monthly, but neither Smith nor the Dean campaign would comment on his compensation.

As for rival campaigns that might accuse Dean of hypocrisy for recruiting this hired gun, "Personally, I think it's laughable," Smith said. "Gimme a break. I don't think anyone cares about who the consultants are anyway."

Dean campaign spokesman Jay Carson told me: "Whenever you get attacked by a bunch of Washington insiders, it's good to have someone on your side who knows them well."

Its self defense. Once this primaries get underway everyone will be going for Dean's juggular. Not having an ace up your sleeve at that point is just kind of stupid. Think of it as a deterrent.

You all need to stop blaming La Opinion.

1:La Opinion did not commit shoiplifting twice

2:La Opinion did not lie about his education credentials.

3:La opinion did not take away sheriff Baca's endorsement

4: La opinion did not take away the L.A. County Democratic endorsement.

5: La opinion did not cause him to commit battery.

If Christopher would of not done those things there would have been no story. So lets stop shifting the blame.

Finally, I would not call something he did at the age of 23 "a youthful indescretion"

He can still win and, I do not really care who does, but he needs to be responsible for his actions.

Parke Skelton

Owner, SG&A Campaigns, a Los Angeles-based Democratic consulting firm

Career Background

"I was a community organizer who learned how to run campaigns to assist progressive grassroots movements engaged in electoral battle. Eventually, accidentally, I transmogrified into a full-fledged campaign consultant."

Personal

"Married to California's best Democratic fundraiser, (X). We have one fantastic little boy, (X)."

Claim to Fame

"Popular power at popular prices."

Best Day

"June 5, 1999, the day my little boy entered the world."

Worst Day

"June 4, 1991, when I lost three (out of three) campaigns by a combined total of 674 votes."

Ten Years From Now

"Less. Maybe just two or three races a year instead of 10."

Immediate Goals

"Currently we're working to create a statewide organization to provide substantial tactical support to progressive state legislative candidates in Democratic primaries.

Political Heroes

Aneurin Bevan, Thurgood Marshall, Phillip Burton.

Secrets of Success

"For most, campaign consulting is a lousy way to make a living. If you don't care passionately about changing the world, find something else to do."

Biggest Gripe

"The gratuitous use of 'quotation marks.'"

Predictions

"My prediction is that virtually all predictions will be proven wrong."

Favorite Books

Paradise Lost by John Milton; The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky; Cairo Trilogy by Naguib Mafouz.

Favorite Movies

"Wings of Desire," "Red," "Choochoo Trains, Up Close and Personal" (Don't get out much these days)

Best Moment in a Campaign

"Winning my first campaign, the Santa Monica rent-control initiative in 1979. I haven't been as ecstatic on election night since."

Worst Moment in a Campaign

"The day after an upset primary election victory, reading on the front page of the LA Times that my candidate was contemplating withdrawing from the race."

If I Were President for a Day

"National health care. A national energy policy based on conservation. Dismantle obstacles to voter registration and participation."
