VillarGarcia's LAUSD $20 Billion Construction Budget HEIST IS ON!!!
HEY MARK "MR. K" GERMAIN: Remember all those calls ZD made to you over the past year and a half about LAUSD's $20 billion school construction budget -- and how you have a corrupt mayor who was sent to heist as much of the money for his political backers so they will promote him to governor? (Well those days may be gone...but he still has to pay 'em back for making him mayor.)
LOOKS LIKE THE HEIST IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!!! TODAY! AT THE LAUSD SCHOOL BOARD MEETING. THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE THE DECISION FOR YOU THAT THEY WANT TO "BORROW" SOME OF THE BOND MONEY FOR SOMETHING ELSE...THEN CAN ASK FOR ANOTHER BOND LATER, IF NEEDED. (Then maybe they can ask for another one, after that...INFINITY!)
from latimes.com:
L.A. board may shift $1 billion to school construction [Don't worry...they will!]
The Measure Y bond money was approved by voters in 2005 for modernizing existing campuses. [But VillarGarcia LAUSD School Board Wants To Use It For Something Else. So THEY will make that decision for you!!!]

Los Angeles school district officials want to close most of a staggering deficit in the school-construction program by using more than $1 billion in bond money that was meant for other purposes. The Los Angeles Board of Education is scheduled to vote on the shift today. [Let me take a guess...they'll APPROVE to shift this money?]
The proposal, expected to pass, would use -- for new schools -- money that would have repaired and modernized existing schools, improved Internet access and other technology on campuses, and built and repaired preschool centers. Instead, the funds will backfill the plan to build 145 schools in an effort to provide all students with a neighborhood campus that operates on a traditional two-semester schedule. [Because you can't hijack that much of the budget with little old repairs and modernization -- you have to build entire new construction projects to heist that much money efficiently and with no transparancy or accountability.]
"Our hope here is that this is just a borrowing, if you will, of those funds" and the original programs "will be finished sometime in the future with other funds, whether they be from future bond measures or from other sources," said Edwin Van Ginkel, senior development manager for the Los Angeles Unified School District. [Borrow now...people will forget it's a loan, then pass a bond measure in the future if you need more money. And how dare you vote, "No"...IT'S FOR THE KIDS, REMEMBER!?!?]
Van Ginkel added that the bond's wording allows for such a transfer. [It's called "loopholes" and they are intentional. To these people if it DOESN'T say they can't...to them it means they CAN. Ethics/Spirit of Intent vs What they can get away with, those shady f*cks...they should all be locked up in jail for what this new LAUSD school board is pulling!]
But the fine print of ballot resolutions is not enough, said Jamie Court, president of the Santa Monica-based Foundation for Taxpayer & Consumer Rights.
"Politicians will try to use whatever money is on hand to fill any hole they have," Court said. "And in those cases they're often very flexible with 'the voter's intent' when the voter's intent wasn't that elastic. Politicians can't lawfully seize on the fine print to use money where that use was not made explicitly clear." (Words suitable for framing.)
[Infomercial Announcer: BUT WAIT...There's more!] Even after all the planned construction, tens of thousands of students will still attend classes in portables.
Justifications aside, a promise to voters is a promise, said Jon Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Assn. "There was a factual determination that over a billion dollars was needed to renovate schools where students are going right now. To take money away from that seems a fundamental violation of public trust."
The point is not lost on Scott Folsom, vice-chair of the district's bond oversight committee.
Even after the new schools are built, he said, 80% to 90% of students will be attending schools that exist today.
Still, the oversight committee approved the transfer last week. Its decision is not binding on the school board, which rarely goes against such recommendations. [NO WONDER MONICA GARCIA PULLED THE PLUG ON THE AUDIT COMMITTEE THAT INCLUDED THE INSPECTOR GENERAL'S INVOLVEMENT!!! And Laura Chick appointed (endless non-action report-writer) Connie Rice to the "School Construction Bond Citizens' Oversight Committee" (LMFAO!)]
Folsom foresees another difficult juncture approaching: "We are going to need to go to the voters at some point in the future -- not that far away -- to ask for more money." [AND WITH THAT FINAL SENTENCE...ALL OF ZD'S PREDICTIONS HAVE NOW COME TRUE. F*CK YOU ANTONTIO AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE PUTTING YOU UP TO THIS. HAVE SOME PRIDE AND DIGNITY...OH YEAH, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY YOU F*CKING HISTORICAL DISGRACE! MAYOR ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA...THE PERFECT LOOKING PUPPET, WITH THE PERFECT SOUNDING NAME, SENT OUT BY HIS CORPORTATE MASTERS TO SELL OUT HIS OWN PEOPLE! YOU ARE GOING TO HELL ANTONIO! SAVE YOUR SOUL NOW, WHILE THERE IS STILL HOPE TO REDEEM YOURSELF. IF YOU ARE A RELGIOUS MAN, BEYOND USING IT FOR POLITICAL GAINS...YOU ARE GOING TO HELL, BRO! HAVE FUN! (Karma is a bitch, and no wonder your whole life and political career has unraveled.)

=THANK YOU ZUMA ONCE AGAIN FOR FIGHTING FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS CITY. WHAT A BUNCH OF CORRUPT ASSHOLES ON THE GROUPIES OF ANTONIO. NO WONDER WHY MONICA GARCIA CAN'T LOSE WEIGHT. ITS ALL THE STRESS OF BEING A LAPDOG FOR ANTONIO. SHADY AS HELL THESE PEOPLE ARE. KARMA IS A BIG BITCH FOR THOSE WHO ARE SATAN'S FOLLOWERS AND THAT'S ANTONIO, HUIZAR, ALATORRE, GARCIA, FABIAN, AND ALL THE LOW LIFE LATINO POLITICANS WHO HAVE NO LEADERSHIP OR GUTS. THANK GOD THEY ARE NOT MY PARENTS.
"SATAN'S FOLLOWERS AND THAT'S ANTONIO, HUIZAR, ALATORRE, GARCIA, FABIAN, AND ALL THE LOW LIFE LATINO POLITICANS WHO HAVE NO LEADERSHIP OR GUTS. "
We elected them; some of them more than twice! Have we learned or will we elect the Political Mexican Mafia in the next election?
Villaraigosa is just a puppet to powerful entities. He has ties with the law firm of Latham and Walkins who have been involved with hostile takeovers. They are not involved in helping the common people, but helping millionaires get richer because they do not have enough. Go to Nelalist@yahoo.com “Who’s Autry’s Lawyer”
Google “Latham and Walkins” and the “Bush Administration”.
Instead to be so narrow-minded about race, we need to focus on uniting. We need to think about US not just ME. As long as we continue to be divided these politicians and entities will continue bleeding us. Ultimately the ones that are going to pay the price are our children by not having the education that they deserve. This will have an impact in our personal future.
yeah, children.
but don't worry, I'm sure the mayor has everything under control.
literally.
here's the LAUSD agenda for todaywith the 1 billion dollar transfer of funds.
Hi Zuma
Hey you keep doing a great job for all the people of L.A.,but you got to ask yourself is it all worth it?
These people do not appreciate you!!! They make fun of you,what needs to happen is start recalling them and I would start with that MIDGET MAYOR and work your way down the wetback poll.
otherwise they are just going to keep on doing what they want and that is to rip off and mis lead the american people.
Hey where is the midget mayor at now? he is useing our TAX dollars to go and campaign for that SKANK
hilary,well what about our city he should be fixing the problems here first and the way he wants to fix them is by raising our taxes and big payouts to all the lawsuits that this city gets sued for like eating DOG FOOD!!!
I TELL YOU THESE L.A. PEOPLE ARE VERY STUPID THEY DESERVE THESE IDIOTS IN CITY COUNCIL!!
THE MIDGET MAYOR IS IN NEVADA CAMPAIGNING FOR HILARY,AND WHEN LA IS BURNING I SAY THROW THAT MIDGET IN THE FIRE HE IS A NOTHING TO DO MAYOR!

::sigh::
Oh my effing god. I can't even believe what I'm reading (BOARD MEETING AGENDA).
Hell-looo...?????? Uh ... do the children and teachers of Los Angeles have ANY elected officials watching out for their best interests?? And if so, could you please holla at a Mutha, 'cause I sure ain't feeling ya right now.
I gotta go. I have a trip to Kinko's to make because none of the fucking copiers works at my school. How 'bout repairing that shit first??
Nevermind, that would make too much sense.
xoxo
ps. the doctor evil picture is both hilarious, and classically (yet sadly) appropos
Here they are again, the touchdown twins, Matt and Dave.
Unemployed, self-apointed guardians of the world. I'm telling you folks, you cannot make this stuff up.
Never mind that th epeople making the decisions are duly elected representatives of the people, never mind that it is all before the public, it is still "shady" when these two yokels describe it.
Well, they are shady. The have no apparent means of support; they pay no taxes, they have no address.
They both fit the term "gadfly" as well as anyone I've ever seen.
Does anyone know the status of Matt's citizenship? Maybe he's a Special Rule 40 baby.
12:01pm,
Any opinion on the "transfer" of $1 billion bond dollars approved by voters for something else?...
...That's just what I thought! (Now say, "What", again.
You tell us, wise guy; you are the self proclaimed expert, aren't you?
I'm not going to educate your sorry ass any more.
"Never mind that the people making the decisions are duly elected representatives of the people, never mind that it is all before the public, it is still "shady" when these two yokels describe it."
The people have been elected, but they "almost" never get the whole truth. It is not "all before the public" because the "reports" they receive are constructed to "shade" the interpertation".
IT IS NEVER ENOUGH TO WRITE THAT YOU ARE UNDERSTOOD...YOU MUST WRITE SO YOU MAY NOT BE MISUNDERSTOOD.
Never happen in the administration of the City of Los Angeles.
Interesting that no local newspaper reported Antonio being in Nevada today stumping for Hillary. Can anyone confirm that? It has to be on our tax dime again. Did he take Mirthala or is that scandalous affair over like someone posted here? Poster is right. ...we have no one to blame but ourselves for not speaking out and doing something about it. I hope when all those NC's get together on Saturday they blast and boo Antonio's sorry butt if he shows up. Or better yet they should BOYCOTT THE CONGRESS OF NEIGHBORHOODS EVERYBODY
If Villriagosa had been here he would have been in front of the photographers. Rest assured he is in Nevada, probably at Mustang Ranch, stomping for Hillary.
Honestly, I'm shocked at all of you. How quickly you forget. Isn't this the very issue that was raised in the last election?
If Galatzan and the other muppets were elected, major money would be diverted from LAUSD to groups like her hubby's VICA?
We had this discussion right here.
Well the good people, both of them, of the great city of Angels elected them.
NOW you show outrage? NOW you scream foul?
What is wrong with you people? Like we didn't see this coming? Like the sun isn't going to rise tomorrow?
Give me a break.
Me, I'm just thankful that my school still has a shot at the other $3 billion in renovation funds.
Awww Hell, before they get around to the work needed, that money will be gone too.
Have I ever mentioned how much I just love working for this district?
3:32pm Defender of Evil said...""Never mind that the people making the decisions are duly elected representatives of the people..."
YOU DUMMY...YOU TRIED HANDING ME THAT B.S. STORY IN JULY WHEN VILLARGARCIA STEAM ROLLED THE ANNUAL ORDER OF BUSINESS...
NO ONE ELECTED THEM TO CHANGE WHAT A VOTER APPROVED BOND IS TO BE USED FOR. The voters voted for the bond to be used for what they were told it was to be used for. maybe if they knew it was for what they are changing it to, they would have voted "NO". They didn't vote to let VillarGalatzan to do whatever the fuck they want.
Politicians can't lawfully seize on the fine print to use money where that use was not made explicitly clear."
Anyone heard the latest on THIS?:
"Superintendent Brewer is planning a separate district for chronically low-performing, Program Improvement schools."
Roosevelt is one of the schools included in this early-stage plan.
Is Brewer trying to provide the community a viable alternative to a possible takeover by the shadiest, most disgraced mayor in U.S. history -- that the community wants NO WHERE NEAR the schools!?!?
The most disgraced Mayor in history?
Is this maybe a little exageration?
None of his Commissioners have been indicted. Look at Hahn's.
ZD, you are fast and loose with the accusations; you are all hat and no cattle.
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS PRESIDENT IS IN CHINA? WHO PAID FOR THE TRIP?
9:09pm,
O.K. He's just ONE of the biggest disgraced mayors in U.S. history.
didn't mean it to be an "accusation"...just a widely held opinion that he is a political disgrace. He IS a political disgrace, isn't he? I mean we can all agree on that, right?
yes...almost all of us agree the Mayor's behaviour is a shame
There is a query in the newspaper about Huizar.
If the election were held today, would you re-elect 14th District Councilmember Jose Huizar?
Yes
No
Never
Always
The No and Never have more than yes or always.
I guess "No" and "Never" really mean "Hell No!"
When there's a single thief, it's robbery. When there are a thousand thieves, it's taxation. ~Vanya Cohen
"Widely held"??
On this blog, by ZD and his band of fools, maybe.
City wide? Mayor Villaraigosa will be re-elected in a landslide, probably with over 70% of the vote.
Who, of any significance, could even challenge him?
ZD, Walter, Hertzberg? Certainly none of them.
Zev's too insecure and risk averse.
No one else has the cachet. The re-election is over before it begins.
Get over it, he's here for five more years. Go find a new punching bag.
Using money designated for maintenance for new construction is great for unions but terribly wasteful for citizens. It is the reason the infrastructure at DWP is failing. It is the reason the roads are in disrepair. If a bond is approved for something there should be oversight other than the mayor and his benefactors.
Keep dreaming Villaraigosa's poll numbers are so low his team are scrambling asking everyone what's going on in the next few months that he can be part of to save his ass. Antonio always takes credit for others work. Clowncil members hate when he shows up to their press conf. You never saw Hahn do that. Villaraigosa is so worried about what people think about him his people are doing polls every week to see if they're changing and word out of city hall is they're only getting worst just like Bush.
"On this blog, by ZD and his band of fools, maybe.
City wide? Mayor Villaraigosa will be re-elected in a landslide, probably with over 70% of the vote.'
Listen Jeanne of Arc, you seem to be the only one defending the City and the Mayor against the fool's on this blog.
As one of the 'fools, I believe that the only way Villaiagosa will win by 70% will be to hire every democrat, every legal and every illegal aliens in the city, give them documents to get them listed, have everyone vote once or twice like they used to do in Chicago.
I would like to see, a TRUE IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENT FOR REGISTRATION and the same document to vote.
By the way, when he loses, where are you going to get a job, or will you jump ship while the going gets good and vote for the next winner.
ZD, the knife cuts both ways. If Villaraigosa was not so bad for Los Angeles, he would not have to do photo ops patting pot holes. But of course, since he is so bad, your success at pointing out his high crimes and misdermeanors is easy and assured.
If we spend our maintenance bond money on new construction, we can postpone maintenance and justify a bigger bond in the future.
The schools are neglected because they want to keep the general population from figuring out Villaraigosa's new vision and paradigm for Los Angeles: "If you never accomplish what you set out to do, you can raise more money to spend.
¿Entender estúpido?
So wise guys, someone list a candidate who can even give Antonio a run for his money, let alone beat him.
The answer is : "No one".
I challenge you to list five candidates who could run strongly against Antonio.
fuck-face 5:38pm
Laura Chick
Chief Bratton
Bob Herztberg
Jose Huizar
Zev
Keep mind A.V will carry the following distict: the Reyes,Cardenas,Alacorns, Huizar,Eric District keep in mind those all latino district with low voter turn out.
The white valley, jews, blacks and harbor will go with anyone but lil ganger mayor a.v.
My five:
Al Gore (for the environmentals/ green city people);
John Edwards (he's leftie enough for the limo libs and has good hair);
Obama (He's promising Latinos the store: scholarships for illegals, no pain legalization for their parents, special driving licenses for illegals and lots of fed aid);
Richardson of New Mexico: He's got 2% of the dem vote in presidential poll, but is Hispanic and doesn't look as cholo as our local crop;
And now that we have a black, an Hispanic we need a woman: someone fired or terms out of her job in another big city like Chicago or NY
But will any of these people run?
October 24, 2007 5:38 PM – Not Five but One!
Chief William Bratton will definitely give Mayor Villaraigosa a run for his $$$ and WIN by a landslide. I encourage Bratton to run!
Have you ever seen Bratton smile, let alone pump the flesh and play to the plebes?
Law enforcement officials need to look and be taken seriously. Pols have to pander and chase the photo op. Different species.
Bratton will never run, nor could he raise the money. More importantly, he'd have to resign his job, and he loves it way too much to do that.
Zev will not run because he is risk averse and doesn't need to take a risk. He will die as a Supervisor, and as one person said, no one supervises a Supervisor (of course, except ZD, who oversees all elected officials).
Hertzberg is done, stick a fork in him; no one but Mayor Sam would support him.
Huizar run against his Daddy? Are you nuts?
Laura Chick? Does she have a friend in the world? Nah, Antonio's her Daddy, too. She'd do it, but her supporters are his, first, and she'd never get traction. She'll just wait another term.
Like I said, ain't nobody to challenge him, and, whoever thinks the Valley and the Jews won't support him doesn't understand politics.
The only folks that will oppose him are the CD 14 diehards who still think Pacheco is viable.
He isn't.
Bratton is supporting Elliot Spitzer's criminal, arrogant, illegal, unilateral decision to give every illegal a NYC driver's license!
For this reason alone, I condemn Bratton! He is a two-faced, anti-American, un-American traitor who should be in prison for aiding and abetting the illegal invasion of our country and it's sovereignty!!!
And he's not even a Mexican!!! He's a loser from NYC who was fired by Guiliani. He couldn't get a job as dog catcher, but now he's making more $$$ than he ever dreamed of, and has a multi-million dollar home in Hancock Park.
The cops hate him and so do we!!!!
FUCK-FACE 538PM
I ALSO WANT TO ADD THE NAME OF NICK PACHECO!!
ccwBratton should be recalled for ignoring the existing immigration laws by supporting Spitzer!!!
He is guilty of treason!!!!
How about YouTube Walter Moore for mayor?
Moore is better...
Moore action, less corruption.
Be respectful...
