Walter Moore: You Took $43,000 of Our Money; You Owe It To Debate

** UPDATE: WALTER MOORE AGREES TO DEBATE THIS SUNDAY **

This Sunday this blog is hosting a Mayoral debate and has invited those candidates who have been discussed regularly on this blog.

Candidate Walter Moore, who has qualified to have his campaign financed partially with your tax dollars, has refused to participate in our debate.  We're not quite sure why but Walter owes it to the voters and taxpayers to show up and be questioned along with the other candidates by our esteemed panel.

It's ironic because it was only four years ago when Walter first ran for Mayor and was shut out of the debates.  It was this blog and others who championed that Walter should be included in the debates even though we did not support his candidacy at that time.  You can read that here  and here  and here.  Even Villaraigosa stalwart MEAT agreed Walter should have got his shot at the podium.

After Moore lost that election, we here at the Sister City gave him a platform that helped boost his name recognition and awareness  among those who follow these sort of things.  Walter blogged at Mayor Sam until he left when I wouldn't yield to his demands for making policy changes to the blog.

All of that being said, Walter should debate.  David Hernandez and David "Zuma Dogg" Saltsburg have shown they value the voters  and have agreed to participate.  Though Walter has declined, our offer stands up until 1:30 on Sunday.  Walter is welcome to be part of the discussion.

In other debate news, candidate Phil Jennerjhan joins the ranks of Walter Moore and Antonio Villaraigosa as no-shows for Sunday.  Jennerjahn says that he will be attending the California Republican Party Convention in Sacramento with his partner.  Lots of votes up there!
In the meantime, we've made two great additions to our debate panel.  Moderator Ron Kaye will be joined by Jill Stewart, Deputy Editor of News at LA Weekly .  Jill has been a long and distinguished member of the local print and electronic media, who has never been afraid to take local leaders to task when they stray from ethical bounds or veer off into incompetency.  Rounding out the panel will be Debbie Lopez, former Sister City blogger who currently writes at Street Hassle  and Valley of the Doll  has joined our panel a .  Debbie is a thoughtful and intriguing writer and thinker who brings energy, experience as an activist and passion for Los Angeles to the conversation.
If you would like to attend our debate which will be shot for playback on line and well as streamed live there are a few seats left.  Please click here to request a ticket .  We will respond back with the proper information.  You may also feel free to submit a question  to be asked of the candidates or even vote in a candidate poll .

Why isn't Don Quixote part of the panel ??? Don Quixote knows all about Los Angeles (and everything else)and is also the most highly esteemed blogger at

http://laeastside.com/

Don is ever vigilaant for robber baron gavachos who are taking over the eastside from mexican americans, Don Q must be part of any serious debate among candidates for L.A. Mayor.

Don Q's abuelita may even show up with some menudo or nopales for the hungry mayoral candidates.

If Higby doesn't invite Don Quixote, it proves Higby is a racist and a xenophobe, or worse yet a robber baron gavacho !!!!!

Michael Higby,

I am sorry you are taking such great offense at people not coming to your debate. (Although you are 100% correct to nail Moore on his hypocrisy when there has never really been a single debate in this campaign) You have a GREAT blog and do a real public service by digging into the issues and exposing things to the light of day. I certainly appreciate all the work you do and give you all the respect you are due.

However, UCLA and USC did beat you to the punch by announcing they were arranging debate/forums at their campuses in large auditoriums with media attendance. Because of their campus locations, a large crowd is guaranteed. They announced theirs before you did.

I appreciate the exposure you have given my campaign, and would be more than happy to attend your debate if it were at a different time/date. My girl, who is a LATINA of Mexican descent (for all you Alvarez finger-pointers) and is also seriously involved in Republican politics. She has attended State and National Conventions and sees them as an incredible networking tool. She is going to be running for political office in the future also. I agree with her that it is a good career decision for both of us to be in Sacramento at the State Convention this weekend...so that is where we will be. I'll email you some photos.

Why aren't the candidates going after the Mayor's on his voting when he was a councilman on NOT hiring more cops 3 times? The Mayor's campaign is on public safety but not one single candidate has had the guts to go after his record in council, are they that weak? Again the Mayor is taking care of his gang banger homies instead of law abiding citizens out of work in Los Angeles.

FEBRUARY 17, 2009, 10:31 A.M. ET A New Gang Comes to Los Angeles: Solar-Panel Installers
In Tough Economy, Homeboy Industries Trains Ex-Cons for Brighter Prospects
LOS ANGELES -- When Albert Ortega was released from prison four months ago, he was determined to turn his life around. So he went green. Mr. Ortega sports tattoos of an Aztec warrior on his back, a dragon on his chest and the name of his former gang, the East Side Wilmas, rings his biceps. Drug trafficking kept him locked up for most of the past seven years, he says. But after serving his last term, for 18 months, he heard about a solar-panel installation course. "I wanted a new way of life," says the tall, brawny 34-year-old. "Solar puts me on the cutting edge." A training program in East Los Angeles is teaching ex-cons to install solar panels so they can improve their skill set and market themselves for the new green economy. In the race to train America's "green-collar" work force, a group composed mostly of former Los Angeles gang members on parole is an early participant. Their training is funded by Homeboy Industries, a Los Angeles nonprofit that helps people with criminal pasts find employment. For years, Homeboy Industries put former felons to work at a bakery and cafe it runs in East Los Angeles. Last summer, founder Greg Boyle, a Jesuit priest, was approached by a supporter about the idea of preparing them for the green economy. Because job-placement for ex-convicts is especially difficult in a recession, "I leapt at the opportunity," says Father Boyle, who started Homeboy two decades ago.

Homeboy joined forces with the East Los Angeles Skills Center, a public vocational school that offers a hands-on program to teach the design, construction and installation of solar panels. The course is one of only a few such programs in California and commands a months-long waiting list.

True. I'd rather see candidates working to get $100 from individuals than bundles from special interest groups. And it's not uncommon to give to more than one candidate, especially in this election where the goal is to force Antonio into a runoff.

What on earth is wrong with a program where former homeboys work for a living, doing something useful as a means of gang intervention, instead of just getting handouts? It's brilliant and everyone but those with an axe to grind against the mayor are saying so, from this Huff post piece to other national papers. You all complain with good reason that most gang prvention programs aren't proven to work or spend money wisely, and in this one, the homies are paid by private industry.

It doesn't even say the mayor's office is behind it, though the city gives some money to Homeboy Industries -- they raise most of it themselves like with their bakery sales.

The naming of David Hernandez and Phil Jennerjahn as Mayoral candidates on the list was only for the purpose of pointing out that those are the two Republicans running for Mayor. Nowhere does it state that they were endorsed by SFVRC.

Wally doesn't want to participate in a public debate because he's afraid of being exposed as the lying scumbag he really is. He made a big deal about not being included in debates in the last election, but if they had included him he would have had apoplexy. He's a liar, a fraud and has refused to actually disclose his REAL resume. He is an unemployed wannabe politician.

It's SO unfortunate that Antonio has no real qualified opponent running in this race.

Also unfortunate that Wally has such high name recognition. He took the 10,000 votes away from Hertzberg that spoiled the last election.

How on earth did Walter get links to his own website in the "official sample ballot?" Whose palm did he grease for that? He also wrote some of the amendment positions. He's full of hot air and no substance whatever.

Antonio sucks, to be sure, but Walter is just ridiculous.

Moore is definitely less.

Well, there's nothing illegal about representing a client who is a defendant in a case based on the client's alleged illegal actions and SOMEBODY has to do it. The notion of guilt by association is what poses the danger to Moore's candidacy, and Clear Channel plundering the field with digital versions of the already unwelcome and possibly illegal billboards in Los Angeles may make that association very costly to Moore in terms of voter support.


The past support in Rocky's campaign in the form of free billboard advertising valued at over $400,000.00, as I recall, led to Rocky's vow that he could remain independent and represent the city in actions pending or expected against the companies in the industry.


Well, somehow that did not seem to be the result, and the flawed terms in the settlement under Rocky's management doomed it's effectiveness in controlling the blight and now, looking back, losing a "revenue" opportunity in charging only token fees of a little over a hundred dollars for each without considering the income generated by each of the billboards for guiding the amount of fees. The restrictions imposed on the billboards companies unequally by the terms of the settlement made the enforcement efforts invalid, thanks again to Rocky, in spite of his campaign vow.


Now Wendy Gruel is campaigning on similar grounds. Her idea that the "independence from influence" from the Council and Mayor just doesn't ring true if you know her past behavior and the present relationships with political colleages and the mayor. Rocky Delgadillo all over again. Her active involvement in pushing through the Prop S and Prop R term limits fraud and phone tax shell game is inescapable and should disqualify her from even the slightest consideration for City Controller.


Moore hasn't said much on this as the dealings are pretty much the same as most cases where attorneys are involved, being the "hired gun" for the job at hand. To some, that's a dirty job, too dirty a job. I guess you should not attribute too much ill to Moore just as you would not blame the workers in packing houses for slaughtering animals for food. It's not a sign of evil, just the job that some people could not do, and it's really an amoral matter, neither good nor bad on a moral basis.


Moore is just the agent of the billboard company, not the policy maker nor the person accused of the wrongdoing. Moore's circumstances here are unlikely to draw more votes to him, but on balance, voting for Moore would be the better of any outcome that leaves TONY in office with a second term.


The big change that a second TONY V. term would bring would be just a change in the nature of TONY'S distraction from city business. He would spend the time preparing his campaign for Governor while the city continues to languish for lack of attention from the office of mayor as the last 4 years have demonstrated.


Whether Tony wins or loses that election would matter not to the well being of the city- winning means city time spent for his campaigning, all lost time for us. Losing the election would leave us with the same thing plus Tony is still here to manage the city while even more in need of some ego-redemption activity- and it will not be "being a good mayor."


Tony is incapable of being even a fair to middling mayor. His office is as all others have been for him- stepping stones for his political career advancement. He's no good, having an insatiable need for more power and clearly showing an incapability morally or practically for fullfilling the needs of such positions.

His draw as a Latino role model quicly faded with his episodes with Mirthala and divorce filing. Where he should have been ultra-clean as the first Latino mayor in ages, he let down anyone who was race-conscious in seeing him as a role model. He simply yielded to temptation as so many fellow Latinos have done before him when reaching elected office and assorted temptations are dangled before him. The "Poor-to-Politician" path too often brings Latinos to power so that they victimize their own ethnic group especially well, hiding behind the race card along the way.


So nearly ANY challenger, focused on the job at hand and not having the Nero or Napoleon personality complex like Tony, could not help but do a better job for the city (except the particular socialist candidate).


I choose Zuma Dogg- he's personally familiar now with the processes of city hall, the personalities and m.o.'s in place and the issues, all from being in city and working to learn the issues. He's probably more familiar with issues more fluently than the mayor who has not spent much time on any regular business of the city and who has to rely on an army of aides to prop up his information base- like an actor reading a script or a musician sight reading a piece for the first time. For Tony, most instances of doing city business is a "first time" as he's been mayor-in-absentia for month on end. That's is another of the reassons a debate would unmask more of TONY's failings- personal unfamiliarity with most issues that could have be know IF a mayor spent time on the job.


And the other collateral benefit of an election upset is that Tony would go completely mad if his millions could not buy enough votes to keep his job, with Zuma maybe the most unlike Tony and his style of amassing campaign wealth from special-interests' influence, the labor unions among them.


Walter Moore just doesn't seem to me to have an affinity for all people, and smartness alone is not enough, at least for my vote in the March 3rd election.

Telemundo has GRACIOUSLY agreed to reschedule my interview, a second time, so I could attend this forum -- about the sixth I will have attended, BTW.

And when you mention the $43,000 in matching funds I've received, don't forget the $700,000 I've already saved taxpayers. That's the amount of matching funds Villaraigosa had to turn down to avoid having to debate me!

I have SAVED taxpayers' money!

Oh, and by the way, opposing counsel today told me he voted for me already.

See you at the forum, people.

Oh Shit, here we go again with the AnonyMousa and menudo comments. Don Quackers got tossed off of Mayor Sam's blog for his endless menudo enema comments.

Don Quackers goes bonkers over AnonyMousa, Jamiel Shaw Sr., Walter Moore and Mike Higby.

Walter Moore and MC. What a sick twisted web they tried to weave, against ZD, Phil, David, Higby. Good thing they're too stupid and corrupt to have succeeded. Losers. MC is the prime loser. She got spanked in the culo by Antonio and then joined up by Wacko. Obviously, Wacko doesn't mind sloppy seconds.

Can someone explain to me how the Mayor gets forced into a runoff with all the minor gadfly candidates fighting each other?

It appears that each them just loves to argue and without AV in the debates all they can do is chop up each other. If they had a collective brain they would realize the only tiny chance that any one of them has is to get into a runoff, and the only way to do that is join together to attack the Mayor.

AV must be laughing his butt off watching all these nut cases scream at each other.

Did you see MC's qualifications? That's one scary wacko b-b-bitch. How does she thinks she'll pass muster again when LAPD has already alerted clowncil and the pols about her? Loony. Delusional. Wacko and his babe.

What hypocrites on this site. Everything you say about Moore representing Clear Channel is the same that people said about the companies that Obama represented. If you support Obama than you should support Walter Moore.

In Your Dreams 7:22. There was no "Racists for Obama" movement. No one, repeat, no one who voted for Obama will vote for racist Walter Moore, the man who can't stand hearing Spanish on his radio and said, "Send a Minuteman to congress". Phil Jennerjahn has a chance with Obama voters because he's not a racist. Walter Moore has zippo, zero, nada, none.
