Mayor Villaraigosa on notice: no more firings!
Mayor V. has been warned advised not to fire or accept resignations of any more African American employees, according to an LAT opinion piece co-authored by one of my favorite weekend radio hosts:
Did the fall of Rome include this much low comedy and high drama? LAT
The City Council's three black members -- Jan Perry, Bernard C. Parks and Herb Wesson -- met with black pastors to discuss Jeff's termination. The Los Angeles Sentinel, the major African American newspaper in town, raised questions about "what is transpiring with black employees under the mayor's political umbrella." Frederick O. Murph, senior minister of Brookins Community African Methodist Episcopal Church, told Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa: "We don't want to see any more African Americans get fired. We don't want to see any more African Americans resigning." According to the mayor, about 20% of his appointed department heads are African American. This in a city with a black population of less than 10%.

It isn't the Blacks at fault here. Antonio promised them the world, like he promised every other community, just to get elected. You can't fault the Blacks for holding Antonio to his word - something no other community has been able to do, except the Jews of course.
This is what happens when you tell people what they want to hear just to get elected. Sooner or later someone's going to call you on it.
Look, it doesn't matter what the Mayor thinks or the three Councilmembers think.
What matters is what ZD decides.
When he has made his decision, he'll tell the Mayor and he will follow his instructions.
If he doesn't, then ZD will call him a bunch of stupid names and really show him who's boss.
Did our Midget Mexican Mayor have anything dealings with Orange County Sheriff Mike Carona. Sheriff Mike Carona is under investigation by the feds.
Thanks to Mayor Sam's blog we know how the mayor is a very shady character, and is responsible for every thing shady.
Zuma better get over to Orange County and save them from the corruption.

Orange County Sheriff Mike Carona has been indicted on federal corruption charges stemming from a lengthy investigation into allegations that he had misused his office for financial gain, law enforcement officials said Monday.
The indictment, filed under seal, is expected to be made public soon, perhaps as early as today, officials said.
9:03am,
Thanks for the props...whether you meant for it to be or not. DAMN...I MUST HAVE ROCKED YOUR WORLD. Still talking about me -- on an issue i have never discussed. (Got your mind on your zuma, and your zuma on your mind!) looks like i win!
DAMN.......... how can you be only 10% of the city's population and have more than 20% of the city management positions (GM's & AGM's) and STILL cry racism? why is the media letting them get away with it? why are they scared to call it like you see it? Not only do they have large numbers of management positions but when they leave they cost the city millions. Follow the money trail of African Amer. employees that have left the city. Gloria jeff to start you name the rest .
8:00 a.m. loser: Only you think the Jews were sitting around waiting for Antonio and the Hispanics to promise them the world. Seems to me, they're the ones with the money and power to have helped him get elected just like they did with Tom Bradley. If they'd wanted to play the Jewish clique game they'd have gone with Hertzberg or someone more popular and electable than him -- they thought they were helping the guy who's best for all the groups of the city. I'm not Jewish, but I'm struck by how broadminded they've been as a group, while most whites were like, yikes, here come the dark people.
Got to work with the best of what we've got put forward. As for the blacks, if they're going to play this game, should just mean hiring fewer of them unless they're really really good. Means not giving them a chance because firing them will be a financial hit, and that is making the general public angry at blacks as a group. Not smart.
Like what they did with MLK for too many years, along with old libs like Janice Hahn. Made it a racial issue, so the inept people and policies weren't fixed in time to save the place. They have to stop their 70's tactics and work with, not against, the rest of the city.
You can bet the African Americans are sorry they voted for Antonio after he made major promises to them. They were afraid that Antonio would cater to the illegals who have moved into their neighborhoods and cause blight and more gang violence. Hahn always had the majority of the black vote and because of bitter bernie lost a lot of it. However, you talk to the top leaders in the black community and they will tell you Hahn treated them better, had more on staff and never fired them or treated them as 3rd class citizens like Villaraigosa is doing now.
It feels strange to be defending the mayor, but when he's right, he's right. It's real difficult to be wrong all the time.
General Managers should be fired when they aren't doing a good enough job, and shouldn't be protected because of their race.
There were those who argued that Police Chief Bernard Parks shouldn't have been released because of his race, and if Mayor Hahn had listened to them, we wouldn't have Bratton.
How does the quality of government improve if an African American GM knows that he or she can't be fired regardless of what they do?
11:16, you've got to get with the times -- demanding accountability is so 2004.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We know the mayor is wrong if he fires Jeff and wrong if he keeps Jeff.
That damn midget mexican mayor can't do anything right!!!
The mayor should have kept Jeff and ignored all the mid-level mangagers who worked under her, and could not get along with the pushy and divisive Jeff.
I do sense reverse racism. Why do only blacks, mexicans, asians count? Whites are now the minority here in LA anyway. Why isn't there a white coalition to make sure whites get GM jobs.Maybe we need a White Pride movement or something.
Here's one. The GM of Animal Services is a white guy. Fire him and appoint a black, mexican or asian. Too bad only white people applied for the GM and AGM positions.
If only we could actually hire the best candidate. Hiring someone based on color or because you owe someone a favor or they're your counsin's sister is sad.
11:59, I disagree.
By all rational accounts, firing Jeff was the right thing to do -- and brave, given the current climate.
By the way, the mayor is an American of Mexican descent and stands well over 147 cm, which disqualifies him as a little person.
I'm a 5'8" female and I'm taller than the mayor. He's like 5'6" or something. Average for a guy is 5'10". He is short.
5'6" is average for Mexican-Americans

Hello 12:55 , who is 5'8", are you, hot looking and single?
I am a Mayor Sam groupie and midget mayor basher. I think the city council should be called the city clowncil. And I believe everything Zuma, Mayor Sam and Red-Spot write on this blog. I know the mayor and every clowncil member is shady, oh wait the new DWP manger must be shady since he knows the midget mayor.
If I sound like your type of man please write back.
Yea, yea, hoody hooo !!!!
Villar and "MINI VILLAR" are one in the same.
Hellloooo Robin Kramer is considered WHITE and in a very powerful position add to the fact she's a female. I dont' care what color you are whether minority or not. Antonio needs to understand the laws on firing or "letting employees go." He acts like a dictator and thinks its ok to just tell someone they're fired. Not anymore in this day and age and especially if its a FEMALE, MINORITY and oh hell if you're a single mom minority. The EEOC and California State labor laws protect employees from asshole bosses like Antonio who think just because they are in power they could do whatever they like. If they do they'll pay and look how much it cost to get rid of Jeff?
Does anyone know that of all the employees Huizar let go how many lawsuits were filed? Rumor has it there were a couple they tried to keep shhhhhh!!!
let's see Antonio's Homeland Security guy who by the way is a complete idiot on homeland security is a Muslim and even the feds couldn't believe AV gave him that job. Then you have another outsider Jeff Carr who people have to point out where the gangs in LA are for him. He doesn't know his way around LA and needs a map to find South LA and East LA. then you have this DWP guy and how many more foreigners is Antonio putting in top positions in our city?
Doesn't anyone understand that the Councilmembers are just playing to their constituentcies?
They can't win by taking action, so they bluster, like ZD, about the Mayor better watch out, better not pout, etc.
Question: what can they do about it if he does what they tell him not to do?
Answer: nothing.
Maybe they can call him a Midget Mexican Mechista Mayor. That'll scare him a bunch.
Hell, it allows ZD to control him totally, and have him work his will.
Let's blame ZD for Gloria Jeff being fired; he is the one advising the Mayor, right?
12:12
You are so right!
migiot mechista mayor,and
sellouts boxer and feinstein
will all be gone soon all we
have to do is stop the illegal
voting that is putting them in office!
Speak Out and Vote!
Raid,Deport,Repeat!
MORE DELETIONS OF ANYTHING INTELLIGENT, which of course rebuts the retards who write on this blog in agreement with zuma, antonio watch and wet spot.
Like to the moron at 1:41 who's calling Nihai a "foreigner" (for the nth time, this fool's patterns are too recognizable and he;s been called on it by many people). Nihai, as is widely reported in the papers, has lived in the hills and owned a Century City lawfirm for many years. Has volunteered in civic organizations and for free, has lots of friends in the community.
The real foreigners are matt dowd, Sam from Ioway, zuma from Ohio, but above all that loser dowd, who comes here from Australia, peddles his crap on the beach using up space meant for beachgoers as his free shop, undercutting the people who rent stores and pay taxes. Now loser dowd, hunt are suing the city, and they and zuma should be given a bill for the amount of time they've wasted at city hall.
They are the real useless pests and foreigners. Like fool at 1:41: where did you crawl here from, anyway?
Who deleted what?
All anyone would have to do to stop the wrongful terminations and payouts in city hall is SUE THE MAYOR. That's right sue the Mayor. I'm surprised of all the sexual harrassement that goes on in city hall by Reyes, Zine and Antonio no one is suing or they're being paid off and the whole thing kept quiet. When you have Latino men who don't know how to behave like mature grown adults and they act like they're in Mexico calling women honey, baby, sugar, baby, telling them they have nice boobs they like their legs or the short skirt, etc. that's called sexual harrassement.
4:31pm,
Did YOU just say anything intelligent? maybe if the thread was about "sour grapes from a defeated loser" you would have been da bomb!
If Sam didn't give you the keys to the blog you'd be a non-entity.
No one reads yuor other blogs now, so you hijack other people's posts to get attention, ZD.
You are a classic Attention Whore.
Why don't you take matt and your other two fans and go haunt some other person's place? We're pretty sick of you around here.
Hello Ulisses @ 4:31. I thought I smelled your stench emanating from the blog... phew, you stink worse than the odor you accuse Zuma Dogg of having!
Don't look now, but the ghosts of your past will come back to haunt you... and not only for Halloween.
Brava!!! (That's "Euro" for well-done!).
