Zuma & Bill O'Reilly Discuss LA City's Non-Profit Abuse Scandal on His National Radio Show
Zuma Dogg took his non-profit abuse "public comment" nationwide this morning as he called in to Bill O'Reilly to warn the country about the non-profit bamboozle where city and county agencies are handing over public money to non-profit organization where there is no accountability and a lot of the money can magically disappear.
AND THANKS TO MR. O'REILLY FOR NOT ONLY AGREEING THAT IT IS HAPPENING (BY ADDING HIS OWN LOCAL EXAMPLE), BUT FOR ADDING THAT IT IS UP TO THE COUNTY TO MAKE SURE THIS ISN'T HAPPENING LOCALLY AND FOR ADDING, "IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PEOPLE PAYING ATTENTION."
Click here for audio of ZD on O'Reilly
Zuma: It happening in Los Angeles, California and across the country regarding non-profit organizations. It's not a sexy issue but there is Federal money that is handed out at the state and city level. For things like schools. Let's focus on schools: You have to build new schools? Well they have Charter schools. And those are set up through non-profits. So the City or State will give the education money to the non-profit organizations, then it's front end loaded management contracts with people (relatives, friends, business associates, etc.) who sit on the board, excessive amounts of money are skimmed off the top. Then we don't have enough money to fix the problem. Then they come back and ask for more money through taxes and bonds...
Bill O'Reilly: In my neighborhood in Long Island there were two people sent to prison for exactly what you said. And it's the obligation of the local counties to make sure that their towns and schools are run legitimately. And there are some places in the United States that are corrupt and some that are run efficiently -- and its all about the people paying attention.

GOOD FOR YOU ZUMA. I LOVE BILL AND HE CAN'T STAND ILLEGALS. I LOVE THE WAY HE GOES AFTER DUMB GERALDO AND MAKES HIM LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT. WISH HE WOULD COME TO LA AND DO THAT TO OUR IDIOT COUNCIL MEMBERS''
Sanctuary city
L.A.'s shift on unlicensed drivers undermines public safety
THERE'S good reason to keep unlicensed drivers off the road. For starters, they're UNLICENSED. They're not appropriately trained or qualified to drive. They're almost certainly uninsured. Their presence on the road endangers lives and drives up insurance rates for the rest of us.
But in a bow to political correctness and various pressure groups, Los Angeles city leaders have ended the practice of impounding the vehicles of unlicensed drivers. And with that, they've taken away the biggest incentive to keep the unlicensed off our streets.
The reason for the shift is illegal immigration: Illegal immigrants can't get driver's licenses, so city leaders - citing an arguably unrelated 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling and a lawsuit - have decided to give unlicensed drivers a pass, at least for the time being.
Oh, sure, these unlawful drivers can still be cited. But as long as they can get a licensed driver to drive their car away for them (or they can park it safely), there's no impound. And as soon as the cops are out of sight, they're free to drive the car again.
So our streets will become more dangerous - and we have our own city leaders to blame.
Admittedly, the problem extends far beyond them. It's Washington's
fault that we don't have an immigration policy capable of managing some 12 million people who live in the shadows. And it's Sacramento's fault that we can't find a sensible way to make sure that when these people do drive, they can be properly trained and insured.
But it's not the City Council's job to do what it can't. As long as Sacramento refuses to offer licenses to illegal immigrants, the city must stringently enforce state laws about who's allowed to drive - laws that exist for our own safety and well-being.
As with Special Order 40, this is another case in which city leaders have taken it upon themselves to decide which laws they choose to be serious about, and which ones they don't.
They've opted to make L.A. a "sanctuary" for illegal immigrants - which is another way of saying a hazard for everyone.
2:30p, paragraph 6 of your re-re-re-post (btw, you can stop posting it now...) seems to blow your own argument out of the water.
Is it your preference that the city "roll the dice" and go against your "arguably unrelated 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling and a lawsuit"?
Sounds like more money wasted in litigation.
By the way, whatever happened with your "discussions with Zev" series, as you turn up at the Supes to tell him and Molina how to do their jobs?
According to Janice Hahn's complaint in City Watch, she was prevented from appearing before the Board of Supes to present her opinions on MLK again, and had to resort to handing them her letter and writing to City Watch a "What I would have said if they'd let me appear" letter.
Hmmmm...Wonder why the Dogg gets so much preferential treatment instead? Or is one "appearance" not emough to guage the situation?
How do you suppose the Supes get away with deciding who can appear?
Do you suppose they're not as informed about the Constitution as one zuma dogg?
Well, how could they know as much as Zuma?
The man is an intergalactic expert on all matters involving the Constitution of the United States of America. Scalia, Bork, Roberts, Thomas, Kennedy and Alito constantly call him for updates and his take on challenging issues.
How lucky are we to have him right here.
“Los Angeles city leaders have ended the practice of impounding the vehicles of unlicensed drivers.”
“So our streets will become more dangerous - and we have our own city leaders to blame.”
This seems just as corrupt as the non-profits … hiding, hiding, hiding …
Which city leaders to blame, besides Huizar raising some dumb questions?
What process did they go through to take the action of stopping the impound? Did the Council vote on it?
I want to know the names of the POLITICIANS who are responsible for stopping the impound so that we can hold them responsible and accountable!
So far, this action seems to have no names on it - no politicians seem to be responsible for it !!!
What is the Mayor’s position on stopping the impounding?
Where is the Mayor when you need one?
When is the Mayor going to address Zuma's Non-profit concerns?

"It's Washington's
fault that we don't have an immigration policy capable of managing some 12 million people who live in the shadows. "
1) its more like 30 million
2) "living in the shadows" is their own choice because that is what criminals on the run tend to have to do.
3) Check out the new anti-illegals immigration laws in Oklahoma and Arizona that are set to go into effect. They have already got the criminals "self-deporting" in droves even before they are in effect! So the lying scum in the Washington District of Criminals are again proven to be what they are - lying traitors! It IS quite possible to move these illegals out of here. Dry up the government faucet, shut off services and jobs and housing, go after offending employers ... Voila! self-deportation begins. Then, you can begin to deal with the hard heads that remain behind!!
There are only eight states which have agreed to honor the Federal rules about employment and immigration of illegial aliens.
California is not one of them. It is up to the State government to pass the laws. The federal government has taken the first steps. On Sept 1, the Social Security Department was to inform any business owner anywhere in the whole United States that if the business had more than 10 employees who have "un verifiable' social security cards had 30 days to get the numbers corrected or the employee must leave the company. A judge in San Francisco allowed a injunction against SS Department. They can not mail out the letters. It is under review.
Just like the decision by Mr Huizar and Mayor Villa who decided that a vehicle driven by non-licensed driver will not be impounded. These laws are in violation of the Federal laws that say NO ONE CAN BE IN THIS COUNTRY UNLESS THEY HAVE PROPER DOCUMENTS FOR PASSAGE.
Just remember, we voted for these clowns.
Hey, Z-Dawg - when you get in bed with the likes of O'Reilly, better get yourself sprayed for fleas and checked for mange when you're done.
Why bother checking? He lives in a van, has fleas and mange already.
More like O'Reilly ought to worry.
This is the attitude of the illegals. And thanks to politicians like Cedillo, Antonio, Reyes, Huizar and the rest we have them here in LA. Huizar hasn't heard the backlash of his stupid move to stop impounding. People need to send him e-mails and let him know its discriminatory against the legal drivers.
.....Arellano said she would not back down from her request and was angered that Mexico was seeking a U.S. visa, adding that the Mexican government should not have to ask permission to send her north of the border.
"I'm not asking for any visa," she said. "I want a diplomatic post as ambassador of peace and justice, and I won't accept anything less."
They lost the war. Why do they think the border is completely open? Are we going to have a war with Mexico to stop this sh**t?
I cant go there without documents or lots of money to travel safely in Mexico; but they can come here with nothing, drive anywhere, undocumented, uninsured, convicted felons. Why do we want them here?
Because it's a free country. That's why we want them here.
CITING PUBLIC SAFETY, LAPPL URGES LAPD TO RESUME IMPOUNDING CARS OF UNLICENSED DRIVERS
Los Angeles, September 7, 2007 - The Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAPPL) is demanding that the LAPD honor their word to the residents of Los Angeles --- that the impoundment of vehicles driven by unlicensed drivers would resume, if the City Attorney determined the practice is legal. On September 6, 2007, the City Attorney reaffirmed that the practice is legal and, therefore, there are no legitimate grounds to continue the moratorium on impoundments of cars driven by unlicensed drivers.
"This is not a complex issue," said Tim Sands, President of the LAPPL. "Drivers who do not have drivers' licenses, either because they have not passed state driving tests, or because their licenses have been suspended, should not be driving cars in Los Angeles. Allowing these drivers to keep driving their cars is akin to allowing unlicensed gun owners to keep their guns. The only difference is that cars kill more people than guns do."
"If the City Attorney's office has determined that these impounds are legal, there is no reason not to immediately resume our previous, successful practice of getting cars off the roads that are being driven illegally. We question why the Department is dragging its feet on this," said Sands.
According to Department statistics, a significant number of hit-and-run arrestees are unlicensed drivers. The intent of the 30-day impound bill, authored by former Assemblyman Richard Katz, was to provide safer roads for California's motoring public by removing the vehicles driven by unlicensed, suspended, or revoked drivers for up to 30 days. A study commissioned by the California Department of Motor Vehicles two years after the bill was enacted found that the impound bill led to measurably less repeat convictions and collisions.
About the LAPPL
Formed in 1922, the Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAPPL) represents the more than 9,000 dedicated and professional sworn members of the Los Angeles Police Department. The LAPPL serves to advance the interests of LAPD officers through legislative and legal advocacy, political action and education. The LAPPL can be found on the Web at www.LAPD.com
