Huizar Responds to Parra Hit Piece

Thursday we ran photos of a mailer sent out by supporters of Council candidate Alvin Parra attacking his opponent, Councilman Jose Huizar, for allegedly "enabling a child molester" in his district.

Today we have received the Huizar campaign's response piece to the Parra piece and have reprinted it below for your perusal and comment.

Why is the letter dated after the Parra piece was sent out to CD14?
I would think that the "Thank you letter" would or should have been addressed in August or September of last year after Lugo was convicted. Why was it addressed Jabuary 29? An afterthought, or needed by Huizar?

That's a pretty weak piece Parke. Are you losing you touch? If anything, it confirms what Parra was saying because the letter was dated this year! And this can be considered a Parra victory - not that he will win the election - because he got you to respond to this. Parra and that Committee to Expose Sexual Predators probably could only afford to send a mailer out to 5,000 homes - at the most. Your response probably went out to 25,000 homes, right? Not only did you give credibility to this allegation by responding to it, you quintupled it's circulation. I thought you were smarter than that Parke.

And you start by calling Alvin a liar - come on, this is a political campaign in the era of Antonio Villaraigosa - accusing your political opponent of lying is like accusing Tommy Lasorda of going to a whorehouse - who gives a shit! Huizar will win because Alvin never got a field operation up and going - the way Nick did in 1999 and the only way to defeat a better financed ass kissing incumbent, but this allegation will stick with Huizar. He will never go on to higher office and you can thank Alvin for that.

Alvin's entire campaign has been nothing more then attacking Jose. The guy has no substance, no record, all lies and he keeps trying to LIE his way to becoming a councilman. Jose will win no doubt. Alvin has pissed off so many people including community members who really aren't on any side but his tactics were so negative can't stand him. But more importantly Alvin has pissed off the wrong people at the top and watch what will happen once this election is over.

How can a piece calling your opponent an outright liar be positive? Oh, I forgot, it is a Skelton generated piece so no matter what it says, it is a positive piece.

Jose and Parke got skunked in this campaign, by one of their own proteges. And Huizar will stink for the rest of his career.

THIS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH TO CONVINCE ME AND ANYONE ELSE READING THIS, SHOWING THAT THE OFFICE PERSUED AN ACTIVE MEASURE. OF COURSE IT WOULD HAVE ALL BEEN UNDER THE INSTRUCTION OF THE COUNCIL MEMBER, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
THE WHOLE IDEA OF HAVING IT DOCUMENTED LATER, IS BETTER THAT NOT HAVING RECIEVED ANY RECOGNITION AT ALL. BASICALLY EVEN IF THIS WAS WRITTEN AT YEARS END, IT STILL COVERS THE FACTUAL BASE THAT THE EVENT TOOK PLACE AS DESCRIBED. THIS STILL DOESN'T GIVE JOSE THE FREE PASS, BUT IT DOES SHOW HOW LOW THE OTHER CANDIDATES HAVE STOOPED....... ALVIN (PARRA QUE)

Mr Huizar
I want to thank you because you only demoted two memebers of staff and the nine who quit who knew the truth, and thanking you for asking the Probation people to write this letter to you in January, when they could have send it to the true members of the staff who were responsible in July. They should have gotten the letter then, not you, not now.

It bears noting that Huizar lied about a meeting with the Friends of the Southwest Museum Coalition ("I met with them on January 30, 2007") during an endorsement interview when HE CALLED TO CANCEL THE MEETING with the Southwest Museum Coalition the day before the meeting was to take place on January 29, 2007.

And Huizar has issues with ethics?

Of course Huizar has got ethics. He's got Skelton on his team. Unlike a couple of years ago when Huizar was on Pacheco's team and he didn't have any ethics. The one with ethics back then was Parra. And that is how eastside politics plays out under the realm of Parke Skelton and his puppets.

I see the letter that Jose Huizar purports showing that he personally took action on the Sex Offender.

As Alvin Parra has always maintain it was concerned members of Jose Huizar's staff that pursued it with the Parole Bureau, after Jose refused to ACT!

If Jose was the one that pursued it, then Jose should produce for publication the memo addressed to the Parole Bureau that he drafted on City letterhead with it showing his name and title on the bottom, thereby, proving Parra LIED, but if Jose never did such a letter or email, then I guess it causes a doubt that Jose is being honest about the real circumstances.

So the letter that has January 2007 date seems one that was requested by Huizar to counter Parra and not one that the Bureau did on its own!

Again another case where Huizar's inability to confront claims in a debate would have been enlightening.

So far, most of the campaign work is in the printing.

Huizar avoids the confrontation but it just makes his actions more suspect.

These "facts" prove nothing. A letter written AFTER the Arroyo Seco piece and after Parra's charges were made public? Huizar must think the voters in CD14 are idiots.

Until Tony Racasas confirms Huizar's account, I cannot believe our councilman.

The LA Weekly piece shows that our councilman is a perjurer.

What does it take for the LA Times to write something about our less than honest councilmember?

"Deja vu all over again." Didn't Huizar (Skelton) send out a mailer "Pachecho is lying, again."

We in CD14 buy Huizar's (Skelton's, Villaraigosa's) b.s. all the time. Just accuse yur opponent of being a liar. This group knows the L.A. Times is never going to run a story actually checking any allegations.
