Full agreement with 9:54... But, on another note, folks might want to take a look at Downtown News article, "Summer Love Lessons." Especially the role of blogs in connection with Hizzoner's "affair to remember", etc.

Zuma has already poisoned the water with his self serving super heroe image he wants to portray. Before, this blog was a great source of information now it is just one big Zuma commercial. It's not that we read his posts, he just takes the real posters off topic and wastes our valuable time.

I think Mayor Sam is going to get rid of Zuma. Higby must be waiting for him to screw up enough.

On Wednesday, August 8, 2007, the Board of Public Works (BPW) approved a recommendation by the Bureau of Engineering (BOE) to finalize the building permits for 24 luxury homes on Elephant Hill (Tract 35022) and dedications of land for the extension of Pullman Street.

This action contradicts the recent City Council vote on June 20 to
require a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) for Tract 35022. Complicating matters, the developer, Monterey Hills Investors, recently filed a lawsuit against the City for the Council's action.

The agenda for the August 8th BPW meeting was posted late Friday, August 3. Supporters of additional environmental review for Elephant Hill asked that the hearing be postponed so that the community could be given sufficient advance notice. The hearing went forward as scheduled.

At the BPW meeting, BOE staff indicated that since the Council's
motion calling for the SEIR did not specifically address the B-permit issue, it was OK for the BOE & BPW to approve it. Despite the Council's vote, and despite testimony by Councilmember Huizar,
residents and environmental groups, the BPW sided with BOE and the developer.

Commissioner and environmental hero Paula Daniels was tireless in her efforts to provide perspective on CEQA and persuade her colleagues to allow the SEIR to move forward before approval of the B-permits. However, the developer's onerous tactics and insider politics prevailed over reason and environmental justice for El Sereno residents. The Board voted 4 to 1 to approve the B-permits as follows: YES:
Cynthia Ruiz; Ernesto Cardenas; Julie Gutman; Valerie Lynn Shaw. NO: Paula Daniels.

It remains unclear what will happen with Tract 35022 now that there is a pending lawsuit against the City by the developer as well as eminent approval of the B-permits that would allow work to begin on road construction and other public infrastructure associated with the
development.

What makes LA unique in these fights is that the system allows everybody to win: Wendy, Rick, eventually Home Depot, etc. All it takes is $$$.


Has controversial Home Depot project built council support?
BY KERRY CAVANAUGH, Staff Writer
LA Daily News

The high-stakes fight over a Home Depot in Sunland-Tujunga will reach a showdown Wednesday when the City Council decides whether the giant retailer can open its new store or must go back to the drawing board.

Community activists have been sending e-mails and handwritten letters to council members, hoping to persuade them that Home Depot should have to further study the environmental and traffic impacts before converting a vacant Kmart on Foothill Boulevard into a home-improvement store.

Home Depot lobbyists, meanwhile, have been calling individual council members to explain that the retailer followed city rules and shouldn't have its building permit revoked.

The company spent nearly $600,000 in the first six months of this year lobbying the city - the highest lobbying bill reported for the period in filings to the Ethics Commission.

That included $259,654 to Dakota Communications, a public relations and lobbying firm, in the first three months of the year - the single-largest lobbyist payout in the first half of 2007.

The solution to the problem is not to stop readings ZD's postings if you don't like them, because the problem is that his postings are dragging down the quality of what could be an even more outstanding blog site on city politics. ZD's interest is self-promotion, and this is the wrong place for that. He actually makes tolerable those whackos who keep talking about the Midget Mayor and 80 fake neighborhood councils.

Take any of Zuma's rantings and circle every 4th word. Then copy those letters to a seperate sheet of paper. You will soon see important messages about the city.

Zuma, it is you that is annoying.

Why don't you give it a rest?

All you are is a huge attention whore.

I'm sorry your mother didn't love you enough, but why take it out on us? Go see a professional for your ADD problem.
