Screwing The Valley: Cardenas Style

Sixth District Councilman Tony Cardenas is seeking re-election to his custom made Clowncil seat but Valley citizens left and right are witnessing first hand how he's screwed his constituents.

In case you missed it over the weekend, Tony tried to deliver the San Fernando Valley Fair to the 7th District but instead caused the fair to overshoot the runaway and land in a very grateful and gracious Santa Clarita Valley. Yes Tony was trying to make a good on a deal with recycled candidate Richard Alarcon but not only did he screw the Valley, he screwed the pooch. (As I said before whatever Alarcon gave Cardenas, I hope Alarcon gets it back cause he got clowned.)

Here are a few of the choicer comments by our readers on the entire Cardenas matter:

The San Fernando Valley Fair is something that I partook in as a child. I believe at that time the fair was located on the CSUN Devonshire North Campus. Somebody that has no respect for a community event such as the fair is NOT fit to be councilman.

Just sad and it makes you mad as hell. Cardenas is as bad as they come. I have yet to see him accomplish anything that does not in some way further his interests and/or career. He's a shady politician who can fool many with his clean cut looks. On a personal level, I have yet to hear him say one original, clever, or cutting-edge statement. Cardenas is not a leader, not even close.

Be certain of one thing: Cardenas could give a shit about you and me. Prove to me otherwise.

You've got to be kidding. Cardenas hasn't done jack for gangs. He has released statements that he's doing blah, blah, blah. I don't see anything concrete, no results. No one heard or saw Cardenas last year. He didn't even pretend to be involved. Now that he's running Cardenas and his press team are trying it look like he's actually worth the money the taxpayers are paying him. He should be run out of town.

Shame on Ron Berkowitz at Rec and Parks for having no spine and bow to Tony Cardenas. Berkowitz signed a contract with the Fair in December then tried to weasel out of it at Tony's request after Tony got the call from Alarcon to force the fair back to Lake View Terrace. The SFV Fair should sue the city for breach of contract! We all saw Berkowitz whispering in Tony's ear during the City Council meeting on Friday. Shame on them. Berkowitz should be canned for not standing up to Tony and his role in converting the SFV Fair to the SCV Fair.

Tony Cardenas Screws the San Fernando Valley--what? This is new news??? Come on folks-like we didn't know this was going to happen?
