Coliseum, Bitter Bernie and Shadow Governments
Boi from Troy counts up the votes with the coming decision required by the Coliseum Commission on the matter of the USC lease. In less that two days, this group of boobs which include Bitter Bernie, Zev Yarovslasky and Yvonne Burke could chase the Trojans to Pasadena.Along with the LA Times, I continue my call for the Commission to vote themselves out of business and turn over management (not the pink slip for some of you dummies who don't get it) of the stadium to USC.
In other news, in light of the Commission's nonsense, the Former Fishwrap of Record takes a look at joint powers authorities (of which the Commission is one), a unique Frankenstein monster of governments that allows multiple jurisdictions to take control but avoid accountability to a single group of voters for various government or marginally government functions. The OLD GRAY HAG ON SPRING STREET however fails to note the most notorious and evil of JPAs, that shadow government known as the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority which consists of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy and various local agencies.

1:32am,
GET HELP! Clearly you are emotionally unraveled. When you jump off with a post like that on a thread by Mayor Sam, about CM Parky-Park, you kinda reveal yourself. Anyway, I hope you feel a little better, now. You know ZD likes to see people happy -- so if that helped you then I am happy for you. (People may think I am kidding, but I am serious. It's true he must feel better now...and compassion for all, is compassion for all.
Hey Spot, it's your pal from Chinatown Library...You posted this late in the day on another thread and most people probably didn't see it.

Should we call this the "NUNEZ ACT"?
SACRAMENTO -- Politicians who use their campaign funds to buy gifts, dine and travel the world would have to prove those expenditures are related to governmental or political business under new rules proposed today by state political watchdogs.
The Fair Political Practices Commission also proposed requiring nonprofit groups that get involved in political campaigns to reveal their donors.
Together, the proposed reforms aim to better inform voters about who is bankrolling ballot measure campaigns and tighten vague laws under which some politicians, including Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez (D-Los Angeles), have spent lavishly on travel, meals and gifts with explanations limited to "meetings" or "office expenses."
The FPPC will consider the proposals at a Dec. 13 meeting. Adoption will require a vote of the five-member commission, which was created by the Political Reform Act passed by voters in 1974. Under state law, most expenditures from a politician's campaign fund must be related to a legislative, political or governmental purpose. But politicians do not have to prove such a connection in the spending reports they file periodically to the secretary of State.
Under the new proposals, politicians would have to attach a memo to their spending reports that shows the nature and recipient of gifts, details about who partook of meals and how travel related to governmental or political purposes.
PEOPLE: This doesn't have to degenerate into a slam-fest on a certain Nuckelhead, but about what a VICTORY this is for all Californians.
Is the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority the same shady Rivers and Mountains Conservation Authority? The group that would chop down their own mothers if they were trees?
If this one and the same, I agree that it one of the most notorious and evil of JPA's.
"NUNEZ ACT" it is.
Kevin de Leon has a fundraiser December 10th, in Highland Park.
"the event will serve as a birthday celebration for the Assemblyman and wil be hosted by local businesses. Donations are requested at three levels : Compadre/Comadre $1,000, Padrino/Madrina $500.00 and Amigo at $100.00"
This is sponsored by most of the 'blue bloods" of CD14, including the Southwest Musuem Blue Ribbon panel who support Villariagosa, Huizar , Nunez, and de Leon and Autry.
Three questions; why are the levels of donation in Spanish? What makes his birthday an occassion for a fundraiser and where is the money going to go?
Who, what, where and why should I give him money in my community? What is he going to do with it?
...and you think those questions should be answered by THIS blog??
Why not? If you defend someone or have a fundraise for him you must know all the particulars; whom what, when and why?
Ah...
Have you tried Googling "why-are-the-levels-of-donations-to-legislator-Kevin-de-Leon's-campaign-birthday-party-fundraiser-in-Spanish-and-what-makes-his-birthday-an-occasion-for-a-fundraiser-and-where-is-the-money-going-to-go?"
That should help.
Mr Hoff
I cant use "Google" I use "Dog Pile". It had too much information about de Leon and all his sponsors.
It was easier to ask someone who was in the know.
As in "DOCKWEILER MUTT PILE"?
Oh my, Red Spot, if you're going to post anonymously and then respond to yourself, you should at least switch up the grammar mistakes a bit.
Please don't fall into the same old "rigid thinking" trap of yours where you keep claiming ad nauseum that I am Dock, Uli or Mitch or Ruben or whoever floats your boat. I'm not. My preference is to post on the stories and threads, not on my I.D. I've asked several times that you not make me the story, yet you continue to try. If you want to be mad at me for taking out half the pirate crew, then be mad at me, but don't bore the MS readers with it. It's old news. Take a deep breath and move forward.
"As in "DOCKWEILER MUTT PILE"?'
No, as Dogpile.com
57 references to "Kevin de Leon"
Keep deletimg ZD and pay the prioe.
Big yawn!!
Why is this Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority so notorious and evil??
LA Woman:
Joe Edmiston is responsible to no one; he controls who is on his board and they do what he asks. The money comes from various sources, and it comes in large chunks and he does what he pleases, including strap on a gun and put on his "Ranger Joe" uniform.
Niether the Governor nor the legislature nor the Secretary of Resources can control him and he is there for life. What a gig!!!
He holds up development everywhere he can, even if it makes sense to develop.
He is the orignal "BANANA". (Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything)
Thank you Joe Edmiston for being a BANANA then. Where can I send my donation to you?
Fuck the candidates. If you're so all-powerful, I'll fund you.
