City Clerk's response to Lincoln Heights complaints
The City Clerk has responded to the complaints as submitted by LHNC candidates Hugo Pacheco and Jose Aguilar.Their complaints along with those from North Hollywood and now Echo Park paints a picture of an office ill perpare to conduct a election vested to them for the first time.
This comment was posted yesterday regarding the City Clerk's initial foray in running Neighborhood Council elections,
"Don't blame all this mess on anyone's neighborhood council.
There was a huge rush by the City Council to inject the Clerk into NC elections THIS same year - in part so they could glob up some of the old, unspent funds from the more dysfunction NCs to pay for the transition.
That was despite quite a bit of blowback from some councils that said we were rushing it, and should have started this in 2010, after the '09 municipal elections giving more time for them to study how these nearly 100 difference city groups work.
Plus, they're not even just doing trial runs with one or two to work out the kinks -- they jumped into handling dozens of very different groups in a short 3-month period.
Frankly I don't think there's a councilmember or GM in the city that could hold down even a middle manager's job in corporate America without getting pink-slipped or going bankrupt.

Back in Lincoln Heights, charges are flying about that Martha Riley is asking groups who received funding from the LHNC, for their votes to keep the flow of NC money to these groups.
Too bad that Lincoln Heights is no longer in CD 14!!

"City Clerk's responce to Lincoln Heights complaints"
Somebody doesn't know how to spell RESPONSE! LOL

sounds like she has a few tunes missing in her head or maybe better yet she is like the scare crow in the wizard of oz IF I ONLY HAD A BRAIN!! HEY DOES ANYBODY HAVE A RECORDING OF THAT MESSAGE?
One should be asking the City Clerk their reasoning why adults can vote from only 3-7 PM, when in fact the polling place is open at 1:00 PM.
Things that make you go hmmm...
Martha Riley is a Cornell Grad.
BTW, Tunner is really spelled Tuner.
Wow CORRUPTION at all levels
I wonder how involved you are in it Mr anonymous 11:56

too bad they did not educate her on picking a husband because the BUM is in jail !!!
Now Now Hugo lets not throw stones
We all know what prize of wife you have. I hope you learned from the last election and put that wife of yours a muzzle.
And if Martha is the scarecrow then your wife is truly the wicked witch of the east!
All in unison will sing after the election “Ding Dong the witch has lost”
I personally think Hugo's wife is more like a flying monkey with her ridiculous hair and makeup. Or we can call her senior citizen anti-cosmetic surgery wannabe barbie.

OH, I'M JUST SO TICKLED PINK THAT THIS BLOG IS ONCE AGAIN REGULARLY RUNNING ITEMS FROM THE EASTSIDE, EVEN IF IT'S NOT EXACTLY IN CD14.
I DO SO MISS THE VERY EARLY DAYS OF MAYOR SAM'S BLOG WHEN TONY VILLAR AND HUIZAR WERE DAILY ENTRY SUBJECTS AND EVERY THIRD POST WAS A NEARLY INCOHERENT RANT THAT MADE PERSONAL INSULTS ABOUT PEOPLE'S FAMILY MEMBERS, INSTEAD OF ANY REAL POLITICAL ISSUES.
AND MOST OF THOSE POSTERS DIDN'T EVEN HAVE ENOUGH IQ WATTAGE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO UNDO THE BLOODY caps lock key.
It was, perchance, the "golden age" of rabid blogging here, or, as I like to call it, Mayor Sam's First Level Maslow's Hierarchy Period.
Google dat!
But I digress, so -- YOU'RE A MORON, AND BESIDES YOU WERE YOUR MOM'S BRIGHTEST KID.
I just stumbled across this bulletin board while trying to find out stuff about the council (I picked up one of the slate's fliers today and thought I'd see what this whole neighborhood council thing is all about.) Apparently my area has two candidates running. The one named Sharon I know (everyone around here knows her.) The other is named Felicitas Acostas. I tried googling her to no avail. I went and asked at the restaurant (the bartenders there know everyone) and no one has heard of her. As she doesn't seem to know anyone in Area 6, and no one has heard of her....kind of odd she is the candidate here. Anyone know who the heck she is?
"Felicitas Acostas" is not the name of a person, it's a common East L.A. greeting.
It means "happy accosting" in Spanglish - sort of like saying "smooth sailing" to yachtsmen, or "happy trails" to a dead, former signing cowboy who just robbed a local museum of it's cultural heritage.
I think the City Clerk was just trying to send a warm welcome to you. (Boy, I'll bet the bartenders had a good laugh after you walked out, as if someone had walked in and asked 'anybody here know a guy named Hasta LaVista'? Baby.)
Good luck with that election, though!
4:57pm has captured today’s essence, the style of the past that still is useful in the present. And you don’t even have to do any studying of the issues to participate if you have any imagination. In fact, you don’t even have to know how to read if someone types in the post for you, and we wouldn’t be able to tell that from the other posts.
6:10pm- This makes plodding through all these ambushes worth the effort. And I’ll bet you know how to read AND type.
Becoming letteret, no make that Literate, in CD-14
Well, I just checked the ballot out of curiosity, and the name is on there too (in addition to the flier listing this slate of candidates.) So I'm guessing someone's parents gave him/her an odd name. Seems like the clerk's office would get in trouble if they were putting imaginary candidates down. Oh, and I'm pretty sure neither of the bartenders that were there speak Spanish, so I don't have to worry about any laughing behind my back.
I just happened across this particular Internet-conversationy-thing for the first time today while clipping my toenails (brushing one of the clippings off the keyboard, Mayor Sam's accidentally popped on-screen), but I have a feeling Anonymous 6:10 p.m. wasn't taking Anonymous 5:41's question seriously.
Felicitas Acosta is a resident of Boyle Heights that makes a big deal at BOYLE HEIGHTS meetings that only BOYLE HEIGHTS RESIDENTS should have a say in Boyle Heights affairs.
So, by running for LINCOLN HEIGHTS neighborhood council, she is contradicting herself.
She is also a crazy person that has been fired from many BOYLE HEIGHTS jobs - East Los Angeles Community Corporation, White Memorial.
She has a daughter that attends Sacred Heart High School (which is the only base of operations for the Pacheco the Pigeon team).
Other than that, SHE HAS NO CONNECTION TO LINCOLN HEIGHTS.
She is batshit crazy and one eyes blinks like that Inspector that was always after Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther Movies.
Here is another rumor:
- Steve Lampson, the loner and Hugo Pacheco, the Pigeon are no longer working together. BOO HOO.
Both were on the same slate, but since they are both arrogant and think they are right and everyone else is wrong, Lampson the Loner dropped out and is no longer running.
Given his "success" with the Chamber where we was recalled by 22out of 28 voting members, you figured they could work it out.
Couldn't have happened to nicer guys (and I use guys losely).
Rumor #2 -
Pacheco the Pigeon and Manny Rodriguez the John Wayne Wannabe were on Lincoln Park Blvd. today passing out copies of the Voice to folks.
Unfortunately, for them, one of the slate supporters saw this and is working with neighbors to throw the trash away.
Rumor has it that Martha Riley's husband is happier with a cellmate who pokes him in the booty rather than with being with her! (he got three strikes faster than any criminal in history just to get away from her!).
I hear she's trying to get the Last American Virgin (Frank Wada) to do the dirty with her now.
No, she is bumping uglies with Zuma.
Why is that with these idiots opposed to Galaviz or the folks that actually do work in the Lincoln Heights community, it always come back to "oh your gay, you were tights, you were at the gay pride parade,so and so likes it up the (where the sun don't shine)."
Sounds like you have latent tendencies.
Let's get back to some real issues, so Red Spot, what is the latest on the taco truck issue?
Calling Shirley Fierro a witch is copyright infringement. The only true Witch (or you can use a B if you prefer) is the one, the only Queen Mary Pacheco Pol Pot, the Loonyist Loon of all Loons or to stay on the P theme, the Pretty, Prissy, Prudish, Prankish Pixie.
And by the way, it's spelled Numbnuts, not Numnuts.
Hey 12:@3, here are some other things that make you go hmmmm:
- How does Pacheco the Pigeon piss, when he has no nuts?
- Will Robert Vega quit a third time, given that he has quit two times before?
- How many meetings will the Pacheco the Pigeon Legionairres and traveling freak show last before it implodes?
8:42 - I am with you sister. Guys who always insult guys using gay putdowns are either gay or have really small units.
Which is the best way to describe Pacheco the Pigeon, Manny John Wayne, Red Spot, Zuma, etc.
Did someone say that there was a golden age to this blog?
That's because this blog once had some MEAT.
You'll see more MEAT if Hugabob runs for Mayor.
Blog away, dum dums.
I love the add in the voice Robert! One never can’t get rid of there cholo pose can they.
Spoken like a true neighborhood chonch 12:45. I am sure kids would take your lunch money which is why you have not gotten over it.
Oh yeah dumb ass, the proper spelling would be "ad" not "add" (your school days must have been really screwed up!)
"CHULO POSE"
ROBERT,YOUR HOT!!!!!!!
YOU HAVE OUR VOTE.
YOUR FRIENDS @ LAS MEMORIAS.
