Mayor Sam's Hotsheet for Tuesday
We hope all of you had a great holiday!Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has appointed City Controller Laura Chick to the California State Bar Association’s Board of Governors. The State Bar is governed by a 23-member Board of Governors. Fifteen are lawyers elected by members of the State Bar. A 16th lawyer is elected by the California Young Lawyers Association (CYLA) Board of Directors. Since 1977, the State Bar has operated with increased involvement by the public. Beginning that year, six "public" or non-lawyer members were appointed to the Board of Governors - four by California's governor, one by the state Senate Committee on Rules and one by the Speaker of the Assembly.
Home prices are in the news. While Martini Republic picks up on the news that the median price for homes on the Westside has dropped nearly $150K in the last year, the San Fernando Valley Business Journal says on the other hand most communities in the San Fernando Valley are seeing an increase in prices in the last month alone. Finally, some people who can't afford homes on the Westside or the Valley are heading out to the Victor Valley where gleaming new homes go for at least half the price of most homes in LA. That is, much to the chagrin of the locals who've been there for a while.
Govenor Schwarzenegger broke his leg in a skiing accident in Idaho and checked into a Los Angeles hospital Monday where he will undergo surgery. Schwarzenegger broke his right femur, or thighbone and will undergo non-emergency surgery.
LA City Nerd reports that there may be buried treasure in City Hall. When the building was first constructed in 1927 a time capsule was included in the corner stone. Included in the items placed in the capsule were three nuggets of gold. However, when the building was restored in 2001, city officials say no time capsule nor any gold was found. Where could it be? Sounds like a case for Captain Jack Sparrow.
Last Friday was the final day of business for Tower Records at the Sherman Oaks Galleria. Rumor has it some type of upscale furniture store is taking the space. Click here to see the Galleria's online tribute to the legendary store.
And finally, to make the case that blogging has truly empowered the citizen-journalist to report on things the news media would never pick up - Here In Van Nuys reports on a neighborhood holiday party in the central San Fernando Valley 'burb.

I'm shocked at Arnold picking the worst controller Laura Chick N Shit for this position. The LA Slimes also said she was doing a great job!! Please!!!! This woman is in it for herself and like Antonio loves the camera. Why hasn't she audited DWP or the gang programs that have cost tax payers over $82 million wasted?????? Could it be many of the gang programs have a connection directly back to politicans and the mayor? Yes they do.!!! Why didn't the media report Laura Chick N Shit audited the LAFD in 2004 yet allowed the same problems her audit mentioned without doing a thing????? Kiss butt media is ridiculous. We need more great reporters like David Z because I hate to think of 2007 left with tabloid idiots like we have now.
I think maybe the oil companies are subsidizing the "cheaper" housing boom
Think about the hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel every day from victorville to that high paying job at Starbucks or Wal-Mart ??? :-)>
Please tell us, who threatened council woman? Some say Trujillo. Is it true?
This is scary just as bad as our clowncil supporting illegals.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25 — Counting on the support of the new Democratic majority in Congress, Democratic lawmakers and their Republican allies are working on measures that could place millions of illegal immigrants on a more direct path to citizenship than would a bill that the Senate passed in the spring.

Sad, sad day for our "DEAR LEADER" Polloraigosa. All he wanted was to return to his old school and bask in the glory of the signing of AB 1381. Yet, those "MEAN BULLIES" at the Board of Education will not allow for the photo opp. with the "KENNEDY REPUBLICAN". "Their actions speak for itself" said Gabriel sanchez, a spokeman for Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, feeling the pain of our "DEAR LEADER". Scribe Blume give Pollo no love by their minute story at the bottom of B-4. POLLORAIGOSA, we feel your pain, the chance to relive Those thuggish young days has been denied you.
But more important, the students of Roosevelt, are safe from the political theatrics of Michael Trujillo. please remind "MIKIE" that his false statement to LAUSD and that matter of endangering the health of children at Foeshay, is the reason you are being denied the chance to chant "YES WE CAN" at your old school.

Mike Trujillo - I hear you threatened one of our councilmembers who opposed AB 1381 after the mayor was pissed at her opposition to AB 1381 published in the DN. Suffice to say we stood besides her on her decision....I'm sure she won't be waiting for the mayor or your apology but I will tell you this...her political career is far from being over.
FYI - keep pushing and at some point someone will eventually push back and you'll both land flat on your asses!
laura should be appointed to the bar. she fired her own experienced investigator when he documented overpayments made by her to major city law firms. He sued and won- but she had the detaild sealed..
The California State attorneys told the legislature that this bill was illegal. But, AV didn't listen and wanted it passed anyway. He is now surprised that it was overturned. He should of never relied on his weak feable lawyer credentials. He should listen to people who actually passed the bar.
Only bar he passed was on the way to party with Miguel Contreras.
At least mike is doing something other than bullshitting..

Well, yes, the Villaraigosa team does reject the insinuations in the Tony Castro piece. In reading it through however, beneath it's snide psuedo-psychoanalyzing, it really doesn't make any hard claims.

ay hugo! get a life stop being such an annoying MECHISTA! STOP your insane blogging you racist muck! you are good at dishing it and have the nerve to send out a "happy thanksgiving" message after all the shit you talk about the "whites" killing the raza... ang go around getting all kinds of free shit to get your daughter into a private school and getting scholarships from the "white system"... get a life fool!
pride & joy LA--32 NC #1
are we talking: council babe, council person, council girlir, or dennis zine?
you must be kidding! right? the LA32 cannot even get their shit together to get their "April's" elections going - the LA32 pres is to full of himself he and his cronny, lapdog, VP were the only ones in riding in lamest 4th of July parade in El Sereno. Did anyone ask Hugo why he celebrated the 4th and rode in the parade although he refuses to say the flag salute at their meetings? what's up with that MEChA boy? did you get permission from Marcos Aguilar to ride in the parade? did you bring to the "Social Justice Committee" for approval?
Hugo - you are just an ignorant wannabe popular guy - it's not working!!!!! (by the way stop shaving your eyebrows - the Rupal look is not attractive on you!)
LA32 covers the El Sereno Community only (thus the very "creative" name since their zip code is 90032) it has about 54,000 and the f'ng moron president is hugo garcia and he is a total waste of time- he made it possible to get rid of the last loser just to become a bigger loser in that position. His biggest worry right now is how to clean up after his buddy marcos aguilar (spit) and kissing up to the rose hills area of el sereno because he is afraid of the reps on the board from that area....another loser trying to become somebody...
the vp is ray gutierrez another wannabe somebody... the frik and frak show....
Now, Mr. President Garcia, LA32 NC, do not dilute yourself and think that 5 people in the audience at your last general meeting lacking quorum (two meetings in a row now!) represented 50 members. It is ludicrous and insulting to have driven not only good people on your board away but also community members who had the best intentions to support you when you decided to go after the last loser (Acosta) and lying to all of us that you were the best thing since sliced bread. And by the way, your Social Justice Committee, which you run because its chair is never there and you knew that was going to happen, is just a way to continue your MEChA ways; funny, you were a nobody in college and like Marlon Brando said boy (you) could have been somebody; I (you) should have been somebody but it never happened with you - guess old habits die hard!
BEST COUNCIL ACTION OF 2006
Naming Beriut a sister-city one week before it's flattened.
Marcos Aguilar has strong influence in LA32. Free or cheap land for his next madrassa school. If he can't get part of DEBS Park, then threre is always City Redevelopment Property on a adjacent hill, or putting the squeeze on the owner of Elephant Hill for a piece of the his land with the threat of emminent domain.
11:57 LOL
Marcos Aguilar is working with the Environmental Group Northeast trees on "environmental Curriculum" for the Hazard park Wetlands Project. People who were supported of the Project now are taking back their support. Further, NET would not allow community members to paetake in ameeting between L.A. City Parks and Rec.and NET to discuss funding of project.
Hugo garcia against Elephant Hill Development? Why? New Mecha School?
best 2006 expose
Here's some more info re Aguilar....
He is the only person listed on TITLE. All mail for the school goes to Aguilar's home address in Alhambra. LA RAZA Development Corp. borrowed $185,000 on the property on Huntington Dr. South last year.
The property was purchased in 2001 for $800,000. It was an ALL CASH purchase from a Mr. Vasguez. Vasquez only owned this property for 6 MONTHS, AND HE ONLY PAID $250,000 for it!!!!!!!
Vasquez made a tidy profit of $550,000 IN A PERIOD OF SIX MONTHS.
This school bears further investigation. An audit must be one because it looks like some heavy duty embezzeling is taking place. We have to follow the money trail, and you can bet it will lead to Aguilar's best friend, AV. Not to mention Jose Huizar.
POCKETS ARE BEING LINED, MY FRIENDS. AND IT WILL BE A SHOCKER!
THIS IS SO BIG IT WILL BRING VILLARAIGOSA DOWN, ALONG WITH ALL THE MEXICAN MAFIA.
STAY TUNED.

SCAM?
Marcos Aguilar is a communist, pure and simple.
Every time somebody uses the words “imperialist (in all its forms), neo liberal or neo liberalism” is a give-away of their political belief being even more extreme than simple liberalism. Keep working on telling the parents of the potential students about these beliefs. Hopefully a few of them do want to join this great nation.
I’m glad I did.
Of his ass he made a trumpet: Marcos Aguilar
Published by Eleazar ben Yair.
"Ultimately the White way, the American way, the neo liberal, capitalist way of life will eventually lead to our own destruction. And so it isn’t about an argument of joining neo liberalism, it’s about us being able, as human beings, to surpass the barrier."
-Marcos Aguilar, founder and principal, La Academia Semillas del Pueblo, a charter school in El Sereno, CA (yes, he's allowed to teach children).

Don't be ashamed to be Latino, look at all the facts first. Antonio and most of those "Latinos" in office right now gave up their ethnic credentials when they hired non-Latinos to be their consultants, fundraisers and campaign managers. Just look at the list, not one Latino among these power brokers that pull all the strings. They tend to be of a certain ethnic demographic, but I don't want to name it for fear of being labeled an anti-semite because some of my best friends are Jewish. These political advisors have turned Latino politics on its head and strive to decrease turnout instead of increasing it - ever wonder why less than 1 in 10 of those ellgible to vote actually do in Latino politcal races? And this goes way back - check and see who was pulling Alatorre's, Hernandez' and Alarcon's srings - non Latinos.
History will judge all these politicians. We are in a dark era with regards to Latino politics. But here is a light a the end of the tunnel. Don't group these "vendidos" into our category just yet. Find out first where their true loyalties stand.
Journalists aka Internet Trolls
Zine aka Princess Zine
Zuma Dogg aka AV's thorn
anon you forgot Weiss-Ass, Bitter Bernie. Huizar will get in big trouble when word gets out he waived special event for Mecha brother's racist school at the coffee house.
Dumbest moves city clowncil, politicans and Antonio in 2006
Deceiving public and putting Prop R on ballot
Antonio thinking it was a gift to put 55 traffic controllers at malls
Antonio planting 1 mil trees and filling potholes will help public safety
Antonio failing at LAUSD takeover
Antonio and clowncil supporting illegals with Declaration of LA
Perry and her croonies not settling ACLU case on Skid Row
Clowncil embarrassing themselves and the city throughout the nation with Tienne Pierce fiasco
LaBonge Griffth Park fiasco spending $90 million yet no handicap entrance for disabled
Rocky screwing up everything in general
Laura Chick N Shit not going after DWP or gang programs and still isn't doing her job
Have you seen Huizar's wife? Naaasty! I met her at Northeast los angeles Democratic Christmas Party.
Huizar and Kermit the frog (wife) came off as "betterthanyou" attitude. They suck swedish meatballs for personality.
Jose is not too concered about his wife's look - just like with Antonio, she is just a political wife. Got to play up that family with Latinos. Anyone who went to college with Huizar knows that he always preferred his own kind - that is males. One of his "acquaitances" at Berkely just came out of the closet. I wonder if he kisses an tell?
His face is soft, clean shaven, and pretty.
No no no, you are wrong. Doesn't he have two children?
What is "out of the closet" connection between
Huizar, Villaraigosa, Nunez, De Leon and Huizar's El Sereno Staff?
Have you seen Loretta Sanchez's xmas card...courtesy of LA Times...
http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-localgovtqa26dec26,1,5656983.story?coll=la-headlines-california
What about it?
Who needs friends like Jose Huizar? Huizar finishes his letter to Ricardo Torres with this sentence: "Thank you again for being a friend and supporter."
Huizar on Ricardo Torres in the Parke Skelton/Jose Huizar press release: "The actions of Ricardo Torres in the 2003 election were despicable."
Jose Huizar endorsed Nick Pacheco against Antonio Villaragosa one month after the mailers were sent.
Jose, why didn't you condemn Ricardo then? Pacheco did.
It's dangerous to be a friend of Jose Huizar.
Sleazy Huizy is really a woman in drag. He sure is acting like a high maintence woman. All he does at community meetings is state that Antonio this and Antonio that. I'm going to get all these endorsements blah blah blah.
Jose you idiot! How can you bail on LAUSD leaving sooooo may problems behind and NOT ONE SOLUTION TO ANY OF THEM? You show up to meetings that you're not invited to. You're the joke of CD14 because you have become Antonio's BITCH. Why don't you start acting like a man. You have no experience, no accomplishments, no vision, no knowledge of city hall. You stumble when people ask you questions and give the wrong answers. PARKE AND ACE are two of the sleaziest campaign around. One of you attorneys get a subpoena to find out if its one of them who owns this webiste.
Is Alex Padilla gay?
Huizar is on the fence because he's scared to take a position now that he's running again for CD14. That's not leadership.
I wonder if Tokofsky will feed the media alot of juicy stories about LAUSD business deals during Jose's CD14 campaign. Tokofsky is always feeding stories to the media.
MAYOR ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA
City of Los Angeles
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Janelle Erickson

STATEMENT FROM MAYOR VILLARAIGOSA REGARDING THE COURT'S RULING ON AB 1381, THE ROMERO ACT
LOS ANGELES - Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa made the following statement today after the court's ruling on AB 1381, The Romero Act.
I want to thank Judge Janavs for her consideration of this case. But I also want to stress, this is one judge's opinion.
Today's ruling may seem like a disappointing setback for our kids and their families, but I want to be absolutely clear, we will not be set back.
I've learned over a lifetime of ups and downs, that the only way to reach your dreams is to pick yourself up and go forward with courage and confidence.
And I want to say to the parents and students of LA Unified*I want to say to every child in Los Angeles, we are picking ourselves up today and we are dusting ourselves off.
I promise you, we will not be deterred. We intend to fight for your futures. We refuse to be defeated by the forces of the status quo. We will be filing an immediate appeal, and we intend to prevail.
I am directing our attorneys to make an immediate notice of appeal to the Superior Court and to file a request that the Court of Appeals expedite the hearing of this case. We are reviewing all of our options, including the possibility of a request that the Supreme Court hear the case directly and forthwith.
Any lawyer will tell you, cases like this one - in which there is no clear controlling precedent - are ultimately decided on appeal.
In the meantime, we intend to move forward. We will continue our planning and preparations to give the Mayor's Community Partnership Schools a running head start when they open in the next academic year. We will continue to engage parents, teachers, business leaders and members of the community in the selection, design, planning and implementation of cluster school sites and educational strategies. And we will continue to reach out to all of the mayors and to all of the communities of L.A. Unified in the important work of education reform.
I believe we have the law on our side. I believe we have the Constitution on our side. More than that, I believe we have the people on our side.
Supporting our efforts is an historic partnership bridging business and labor, bringing together parents, principals, teachers, and students. Our partnership intends to fight for fundamental change in our schools on every possible front and using every tool at our disposal.
We will not only appeal this case in the courtroom, we will also move aggressively forward challenging the business and philanthropic communities to join the difficult and noble work of reclaiming and rescuing our lowest-performing schools.
We will continue to reach out to Superintendent Brewer, to engage him in partnership. I believe he is good man. I believe he is a change agent. I believe he needs to be empowered to lead fundamental change in LAUSD.
And make absolutely no mistake about it, we intend to make our case at the ballot box. We'll be supporting candidates in the March School Board elections who are committed to leading reform.
Leaders who believe in cutting the bureaucracy that has ballooned in the last four years.
Leaders committed to putting those dollars to work for kids in the classroom.
Leaders who will expand school hours and after school opportunities, and who will make sure that every school in Los Angeles is clean and safe.
I want to reiterate the call to the School Board, and to every teacher, principal, parent, business leader, labor leader, and to every resident of Los Angeles: join our reform effort.
We can't let another school day or academic term go by.
We can't continue to fail these kids.
We can't accept these dismal dropout rates.
We need once and for all to bring the entire community of Los Angeles together to face up to our biggest challenge.
Thank you all.
When are we going to see Sleazy Huizar's list of accomplishments as prez of LAUSD? What can he possibly list? A higher drop out rate, 48 killings in LAUSD schools since 2003, worst overcrowded schools on Eastside etc. etc. etc.
David tells his white rich folks he supports building smaller school, but on the eastside he supports building larger schools?
Wake up people Eli Broad, Richard Riordan and Peter Soberoff are David's and Huizie's PUPPET MASTERS...
Are you satisfied with AV's BFF developers enough to support AB 1381?
Felipe Aguire, the corrupt, criminal, voter fraud advocate, Mexican mafia, DEPUTY MAYOR OF MAYWOOD was standing behind the Mechista mayor...hugging and kissing AV!
Go to www.watchourcity.com to see his photo and read his bio.
He is one of the Mayor's Council of Mayors.
What a bunch of scumbags!
It doesn't matter that the lawyers for the state legislative analyst advised that the bill was bullshit.
"More than that, I believe we have the people on our side."
So why didn't you allow the people to vote on the bill?
IGNORANT ALERT: 12:04, Don't be ashamed to be Latino, look at all the facts first. Antonio and most of those "Latinos" in office right now gave up their ethnic credentials when they hired non-Latinos to be their consultants, fundraisers and campaign managers. Just look at the list, not one Latino among these power brokers that pull all the strings. They tend to be of a certain ethnic demographic..
RIGHT, BLAME IT ON THE JEWS
IDIOT
DON'T USE PSYCHOLOGICAL BLACKMAIL ON BREWER. HE'S MUCH SMARTER THAN YOU THINK VILLAR.
"We will continue to reach out to Superintendent Brewer, to engage him in partnership. I believe he is good man. I believe he is a change agent. I believe he needs to be empowered to lead fundamental change in LAUSD."
"I BELIEVE HE IS A GOOD MAN." I BELIEVE HE IS A GOOD MAN AND I HOPE HE REJECTS SUPPORT OF SCAM BILL.
2:35 Let the truth be known. Villar (aigosa) wants to be white. He is ashamed of his roots.
2:35
I don't think that all Jews are being blamed, he/she did claim that some his/her best friends are Jewish. But with regard to L.A. Latino politics, if it looks like a duck and if it walks like a duck...
The poster should have more clearly stated Parke Skeleton's role in the Latino political muck - and Parke isn't even a practicing Jew.
2:49
It is interesting that the LA Observed had a post on the L.A. Times "Latino Problem." This after all the fluff stories on Antonio - just more proof that Antonio is a coconut - brown on the outside white on the inside - except of course when elections come around.

December 26, 2006 for Immediate Release
Proposition R back to court -- hearing date set.
WHO:
David Hernandez SFV Community Advocate--Ted Hayes City of Los Angeles Homeless Advocate.
WHAT:
Proposition R is now scheduled to return to Los Angeles Superior Court.
WHEN:
The hearing date is now set for January 25, 2007.
WHERE:
Stanley Mosk Court House 111 No. Hill St. Los Angeles, CA.90012
Los Angeles,
Prop R, the controversial proposition which extended the term limits for Los Angeles City Council members, returns to court for constitutional review.
The Proposition described by some as Ethics Reform written for Lobbyists by Lobbyists will once again undergo judicial scrutiny to determine if the measure presented to the voters violated the California Constitution. The combining of two issues in one measure is prohibited by the State Constitution. Prop R combined the extension of City Council Term limits with Ethics Reform.
The proposition, previously adjudicated in a Los Angeles Superior Court, was found to be in violation of the two issue restriction of the California Constitution and therefore unconstitutional. Judge Robert O’Brien ordered the proposition off the November ballot.
The decision was appealed by the City of Los Angeles and a hearing date was set. Because the hearing date was after the election, the appellate court judge ordered it back on the ballot. There was no further ruling issued by Judge O’Brien. It was only returned to the ballot pending the outcome of the appeal.
Prior to the hearing, the petitioner withdrew his action and the case was dismissed. No ruling was issued by the Court of Appeals.
The January 25, 2007 hearing will be in Department 85 and will be heard by Judge Dzintra Janavs.
Judge Janavs is no stranger to high profile cases and recently ruled on the constitutionality of AB 1381, the bill which transferred power over LAUSD from the LA School Board to the Mayor of Los Angeles. Judge Janavs ruled AB 1381 did violate the California Constitution.
Judge Janavs has served on the bench for over twenty years.
David Hernandez and Ted Hayes who are challenging the constitutionality of Proposition R are represented by Attorney Candice E. Jackson.
Further information available at www.termedout.com.
10:07. True.
11:45. Why the shock?
I am shocked. Why would mayor let thugs run his circuit?
David Hernandez and Ted Hayes - Once you win the Prop R challenge, there may be a tremendous amount of national attention on the clowncil's sleazy attempt to deceive us. This could wake up and empower many of the apathetic LA residents who think nothing can be done to create change. I can't think of a more delightful way to start the new year! Thank you and Happy New Year!
yup yup yup. wake up voters. that's the last thing I want. keep them dormant
All Roybal's are related, they hail from New Mexico.
