"Spoils" of Membership in the Southwest Society
The "COUNCILMAN LAST SEEN AS JOSE HUIZAR" held a brief news conference with "Spanish Media" and local fishwraps to show support for fellow "Southwest Society " of the Southwest Museum member Jenny Krusoe's "Legacy LA Project".Excerpts from the Eastern Group Publication's press release/story on Huizar's remarks.
Legacy L.A., a nonprofit organization ( should someone ask for their tax I.D. number??) that provides youth development services (hmmm, since when??) in the Boyle Heights community, received $200,000 in funding from the California Endowment, a Los Angeles city councilman announced Wednesday.
Legacy L.A. (land grab for politically connected non-profits and David Galaviz's employer, USC) is in the process of signing a lease with the city Department of Recreation and Parks to use a former federal armory at Hazard Park as an arts and nature center for at-risk teenagers.
“Gang life (ie. current state of politics on Spring Street) and violence is like an illness (so is corruption) in our community, and unless we treat it immediately and aggressively (Ron Kaye's event on Monday) , our kids are in serious jeopardy,” said Councilman Jose Huizar, who represents the area. (when someone makes a contribution)
Huizar also announced the winners of Legacy L.A.’s Dream Big fellowships. The 10 high school students, who live in Boyle Heights, El Sereno and Lincoln Heights, will spend the next year studying what programs are needed in their communities to address gangs, poverty and opportunities for young people.
“It is much easier for youth in this community to be recruited into leadership positions in the neighborhood gang,” said Lou Calanche, co-director of Legacy L.A. (former LAUSD School Board candidate and employee for Richard Alatorre and USC)
“To end the cycle of gang affiliation and sense of hopelessness in this community, we have to take the time to develop and foster positive leadership that gives youth an opportunity to develop personally, academically and lead change in their own communities,’’ he said.
The "COUNCILMAN LAST SEEN AS JOSE HUIZAR" who earlier in the week raised a few eye brows with these remarks, "I am not comfortable with having a parcel tax pay for programs," he said. "It's one thing to use these kind of taxes to build things, it's another to use it to fund what we should be paying for out of the general fund." , shows with his support for Legacy LA, that he and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa are not above giving away public property to politically connected friends and non-profits for political gains and contributions.

"Low Income Housing Measure Placed on November Ballot," by Kerry Kavanaugh.
Today's Daily News, 7/12.
This is outrageous -- no attention to this, which could be even more harmful to our quality of life than Janice Hahn's tax on homeowners for more of her gang programs, which would all go to inner cities including highly dense projects which do NOT have to pay the tax.
WE ARE BEING ASKED TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF HIGHLY DENSE, LOW INCOME PROJECTS ALONG ANY TRANSIT CORRIDOR TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR THE CITY TO COMPLY WITH AB 1818 AND OTHER MEASURES LIKE IT WHICH CITIZENS ARE ACTIVELY OPPOSING.
Turns out, L A City has laws on its books going back to the 50's which outlawed the huge projects built in the 30's and 40's, which created slum conditions and crime. These laws still on the books prohibit low-income housing to be taller than 2 storeis and more than 5 units.
The city and state gradually figured out new laws to get around this law, so that by 1973 a series of 5 more bills were passed to prevent the building of these slums.
However, the city continued to get around those measures, too, and now, the city -- using pro-density spokeswoman Mercedes Marques -- is calling the restrictions "outdated" and argues it's harder for L A to tap the "affordable housing" money the state is giving to cities that do build highly dense affordable housing anywhere within a few blocks of a bus stop -- bills like AB 1818, which all homeowners AND renters who prefer low-density, safe communities hate.
Kerry Kavanagh writes the article, but in such a way that, as commenter Walter Moore notes, she sounds like a PR flack for some pro- slum development advocate, like Ed Reyes/ Alarcon/ Felipe Fuentes/ Nunez/ Padilla, the Eastside Machine caught trying to slip us AB 212 to accomplish the same thing.
We caught the deceit of AB 212, so now they're trying to get voters to vote for the slums and drug dens- in making ourselves -- hopeing that enough newly naturalized Latino immigrants and residents of older slums in South L A, etc., will vote for it on a class envy basis.
Shame on the Daily News for the way they're trying to promote this bill. And since readers are onto Rachel Uranga as editor Carolina Garcia's mouthpiece, they seem to be using Kerry Kavanaugh, who's had a reputation so far for honesty and "straight shooting." What a shame.
You read the last months press releases out of Huizar CD14 and many of them are for Hazard Park. But there's Huizar kissing their butts. Legacy LA is a made up org that has Huizar's croonies on it. There's a pattern happening in CD14 and Huizar is filling as many orgs. with his people as possible. What happened to democracy? Hope the rumor is true that Ramona Gardens will soon be demolished.
Jenny Krusoe does not know shit about the Southwest Museum controversy but she lent her name to the fake Southwest Society, a group of political hacks and elected officials who were hoodwinked by Steve Sugerman, the Mayor's office, or Huizar's office into lending their names to make it seem like Autry was not really going to sell the site of the Southwest Museum if the City approves a despicable plan to move the entire Southwest Museum over to Autry's expanded building in Griffith Park.
Jenny kissed Jose's ass to get this support from him. The elected officials of this City no longer pretend to work for the public interest -- they work for their friends. In New York it was called Tammany Hall. The stench of corruption hangs over this City Hall.
Obama just lost my vote and once I tell as many Obama supporters as I know they to will lose his vote. Our Mayor once again embarrasses us and is supporting illegals who are breaking the law to large audiences. This is reason enough NOT to vote his sorry ass.
LA Slimes... SAN DIEGO -- Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, speaking Saturday to the nation's largest Latino civil rights organization, urged its members to campaign hard for Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama, saying the presumptive nominee was their best hope for reforming federal immigration policies.
In his address to thousands attending the National Council of La Raza conference, Villaraigosa criticized the Bush administration for what he called its "selective enforcement" of immigration laws. He said that the federal government should focus its efforts on "criminals instead of working people," and that current enforcement practices unfairly tear families apart and punish small businesses. Instead, he said, authorities should be going after illegal immigrants who commit crimes.
He touched on the ethnic undertones of the federal barrier being constructed along the Mexican border, saying he was thankful that the U.S. never built a wall to keep out Irish immigrants or considered erecting a massive fence along the Canadian border. La Raza is a nonpartisan organization.
He said 12 million illegal immigrants can be brought "out of the shadows and into the light, and onto the tax rolls by electing Barack Obama."
Villaraigosa was WARMLY received at the convention, with Murguia praising him as a national leader and tireless advocate for Latinos, saying he "has never forgotten his roots."
HE HASN'T FORGOTTEN HIS BUT HE SURE HAS FORGOTTEN THAT HE HAS A JOB THAT HE'S FAILING TO DO FOR THE CITY OF LA. GET RID OF THIS CLOWN
From Michelle Mulkin Website.
Here are 15 things you should know about “The Race:”
15. “The Race” supports driver’s licenses for illegal aliens.
14.”The Race” demands in-state tuition discounts for illegal alien students that are not available to law-abiding US citizens and law-abiding legal immigrants.
13. “The Race” vehemently opposes cooperative immigration enforcement efforts between local, state, and federal authorities.
12. “The Race” opposes a secure fence on the southern border.
11. “The Race” joined the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee in a failed lawsuit attempt to prevent the feds from entering immigration information into a key national crime database–and to prevent local police officers from accessing the data.
10. “The Race” opposed the state of Oklahoma’s tough immigration enforcement-first laws, which cut off welfare to illegal aliens, put teeth in employer sanctions, and strengthened local-federal cooperation and information-sharing.
9. “The Race” joined other open-borders, anti-assimilationists and sued to prevent Proposition 227, California’s bilingual education reform ballot initiative, from becoming law.
8. “The Race” bitterly protested common-sense voter ID provisions as an “absolute disgrace.”
7. “The Race” has consistently opposed post-9/11 national security measures at every turn.
6. Former “Race” president Raul Yzaguirre, Hillary Clinton’s Hispanic outreach advisor said this: “US English is to Hispanics as the Ku Klux Klan is to blacks.” He was referring to US English the nation’s oldest, largest citizens’ action group dedicated to preserving the unifying role of the English language in the United States. “The Race” also pioneered Orwellian open-borders Newspeak and advised the Mexican government on how to lobby for illegal alien amnesty while avoiding the terms “illegal” and “amnesty.”
5. “The Race” gives mainstream cover to a poisonous subset of ideological satellites, led by Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan (MEChA), which the late GOP Rep. Charlie Norwood rightly characterized as “a radical racist group…[and] one of the most anti-American groups in the country, which has permeated U.S. campuses since the 1960s, and continues its push to carve a racist nation out of the American West.”
4. “The Race” is currently leading a smear campaign against staunch immigration enforcement leaders and has called for TV and cable news netowrks to keep immigration enforcement proponents off the airwaves–in addition to pushing for Fairness Doctrine policies to shut up their foes. The New York Times reported that current “Race” president Janet Murguia believes “hate speech” should “not be tolerated, even if such censorship were a violation of First Amendment rights.”
3. “The Race” sponsors militant ethnic nationalist charter schools subsidized by your public tax dollars (at least $8 million in federal education grants). The schools include “Aztlan Academy” in Tucson, AZ, the Mexicayotl Academy in Nogales, AZ, Academia Cesar Chavez Charter School in St. Paul, Minn., and Academia Semillas del Pueblo in Los Angeles, whose principal inveighed: “We don’t want to drink from a White water fountain, we have our own wells and our natural reservoirs and our way of collecting rain in our aqueducts. We don’t need a White water fountain…ultimately the White way, the American way, the neo liberal, capitalist way of life will eventually lead to our own destruction.”
2. “The Race” has perfected the art of the p.c. shakedown at taxpayer expense, pushing relentlessly to lower home loan standards for Hispanic borrowers, reaping millions in federal “mortgage counseling” grants, seeking special earmarks, and partnering with banks that do business with illegal aliens.
1. “The Race” thrives on ethnic supremacy–and the elite sheeple’s unwillingness to call it what it is. As historian Victor Davis Hanson observes: “[The] organization’s very nomenclature ‘The National Council of La Raza’ is hate speech to the core. Despite all the contortions of the group, Raza (as its Latin cognate suggests), reflects the meaning of ‘race”‘ in Spanish, not ‘the people’ — and that’s precisely why we don’t hear of something like ‘The National Council of the People’ which would not confer the buzz notion of ethnic, racial, and tribal chauvinism.”
The fringe is the center. The center is the fringe. Viva La Raza.
Our mayor lied. He is in support of Special Order 40.
I guess he can not tell the truth or does not know what it is.
The article mentioned in Comment #1 has been pulled from the Daily News, including its archives!
Walter Moore and I and some others commented on how flagrantly twisted it was in favor of overturning the last of LA's density restrictions to make it EASIER for the city to put in high density, low income projects, and NOW THE DAILY NEWS HAS PULLED IT.
THIS MEASURE WILL BE ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT, WAS QUIETLY SLIPPED IN BY THE LA RAZA MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL.
"Low Income Housing Measure Placed on November Ballot," by Kerry Kavanaugh, Daily News 7/12 -- if anyone can find it, post it here.
'
THIS IS THE BIGGEST THING THAT COULD HIT L A AND IT'S NOT COVERED BY THE L A TIMES AT ALL, AND ITS ATTEMPTS AT PR SPIN DISCOVERED, THE DAILY NEWS BURIES IT. WHO'S BEHIND THIS?
You people babble on about the Mayor and dig up Mirthala again (she got married to some Israeli guy her age or even younger, okay?)
THIS is what effects your lives.
11:43; It's under Orlov and Cavanaugh but without the comments you mention by Moore, though there are 14 now, all opposing getting rid of restrictions on affordable housing. Why haven't we heard more of this?
I agree with Garcetti that the city needs more affordable housing, and he says if L A restricts the number of units per building to less than 30, we'll lose out on $1.2 billion state funds. But people don't trust the city to make intelligent decisions about where to put these, and with Reyes/ Alarcon openly aiming to build high-density projects with no parking even, to move people out of their own slums and into the hills of Encino and the westside, as head of PLUM -- we know what would happen.
Whoa, $250. Shut up. Yes, I bet that because of that - Jenny can get whatever she needs from Huizar.
You guys are a hoot.
Go to work on the Clean Money Campaign if you want change.
By the way signs are $2 a piece. One mass mailer cost about $15,000. Do you really think that $250 is a major contributor?
Um, Red Spoot. I know accuracy isn't important to you in these rants, but just in case anyone who cares about minor shit like that is watching.
The quote you attribute to Huizar about the parcel tax was REALLY a quote by Zine. It was even quote here on Mayor Sam's as being a ZINE quote.
Not that accuracy matters. It's just that, if these are the things a non-involved bystander like me catches, then only GOD knows how many other facts in your long posts are wrong (most?)
Oh, and not that's people's names are important, either, but it's Michelle MALKIN, not Mulkin.
Not that accuracy matters, anywhere near this blog.
Daily newspapers used to boast, "WE ONLY HAVE TO BE RIGHT, for 24 hours."
At the MS blog, the boast is "Wonly have to be RIGHT, to the people on the right."
6:13: Huizar WAS quoted in the Times or DN saying that before any gang tax is passed, there should be an audit as Chick wants, AND if it's determined to be needed, it shouldn't come from prop taxes but from the General Fund. Do your homework.
Zine just worried he wouldn't get his share of the pie, though later, he added some more general reservations, and caught Hahn sneaking in the annual increases.
Now THAT's a laff riot.
Right or wrong, someone telling a critic of Red Spot (Mr. Someday a GED) to "do his homework".
Granted it was probably RS posting his own defense, but DAMN, that takes fake cajones to criticize critics of Red Spot, the original MS illiterate for mistakes.
you're a fucking idiot. Why don't you try running the city? Michelle Malkin? Thats like me quoting Nativo Lopez. You're a retard that needs to leave this city rather than live in it.
LA LEGACY connected to other organizations.
