Mayor Sam's Hotsheet for Tuesday

Tuesday the Los Angeles City Council will vote to ratify the Mayor's appointment of Cynthia Ibarra to the City's Board of Relocation Appeals.  Yet, the report to the Council indicates Ms Ibarra doesn't live in the City of Los Angeles.  How is this appointment possible?

How do Clowncil Members Herb Wesson and Tom "Lights on a Statue" LeBong want to spend nearly $5,000 of your money? By spending it to "celebrate" the 17th anniversary of the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. In the meantime merchants and residents are up in arms over massive parking meter rate increases in LeBong's and Wesson's districts because the City is "broke."  When do the people wake up to this insanity?

If all our schools had the level of parent participation and activism as seen by Debbie Lopez and all the moms and dads at Beckford Elementary in the San Fernando Valley the LAUSD might be better off.  And at least the teachers and staff at Beckford get that as they recently held an event to honor their volunteers.  Now if our school board didn't have useless hacks like Tamar Galatzan and Monica Garcia we might be even better off!

Two California state legislators are continuing to push a plan that could lead to the sale of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, perhaps to USC. The idea makes sense; State Senator Jeff Denham hopes to break the grip of the "three headed monster" - the Coliseum Commission - on the facility.  And no, as a reader at CurbedLA commented, that three headed monster at the Coliseum is not The Jonas Brothers.

If the latest pablum out of the mouth of former GOP Senator Arlen Specter is any sign; he's going to fit into the current Democratic Party just fine. Following the death of conservative icon Jack Kemp, Specter said in a television interview "If we had pursued what President Nixon declared in 1970 as the war on cancer, we would have cured many strains. I think Jack Kemp would be alive today." So, according to Specter, the GOP killed Jack Kemp.

Zooma is saying he predicted the mortgage melt down. Imagine that a guy who has never paid a single mortage payment, and who sleeps on the sidewalk, says he knew about it before everyone else.

What a vivid imagination the mentally ill and stanky can have!

Interesting Red Spot didn't post what a joke last night's budget town hall was with gang banger mayor. It wasn't about the city budget but all about LAUSD. Teachers and students crammed the place yelling and carrying signs. It was the most out of control meeting ever. You couldn't hear him talk cause of the yelling "don't lay off teachers" Only one station channel 9 showed up. The gang banger has lost his luster. It was so hostile there is now word about walk outs and riots.

......A voter registration drive last year illegally required canvassers to meet quotas to keep their jobs and resulted in thousands of “garbage” registrations gumming up Clark County voter rolls, officials said Monday as they released a criminal complaint against the drive’s organizers....The complaint names the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN

I think zuma dogg is stealing david zohniser's stories and claiming them as his own.

Zuma there is plenty o' documentation to prove that you do nothing else other than steal other journo's stsories and claim them as yours. No i am not going to post them here because that will just give you a way to make another excuse. if you are such an internet guru then you can look them up.

if you are sleeping on the street, which is a lie because too many people know your van, there is no way you can get internet access. you would have to have a place to plug in. you have to be ready to work, and from what i can tell you are either half drunk or half stoned or both all of the time and you come in looking like a truck hit you but you claim thjat you are ahead of all the other clean, articulate, well like reporters in town and you do nothing but shriek at erik garsetti all day long. none of the city council people trust you and it is only going to get worse with your stanky odor and false claims of hunger pangs that you can only use to beg you homeless, stanky vagrant story stealer. props to the yea yea hellz bellz out there, yo, boyeeeeee.

643 zooma is a born liar. not that he means any harm, but he can't tell the difference between the truth and fantasy. that is what comes from living in a car for three years and letting one's self go to waste. most people i know in city hall can't stand either the sight or smell of him, but they could tolerate it if he didn't treat people so rudely. i still think it is a riot when he screams into the mic.

So, um, I thought it would take longer than two weeks for this to happen.



Hang in there, Zuma. Let us know how we can help.

I'm gonna get a phone charger today. the person who says i am not sleeping on the streets is making up stuff for whatever reason. who cares. but who's stories did I "steal?" Please post those, please! and all i a doing now, with the CalPERS and other related stuff is post what people are sending me, as smoke signals, IN HOPES OF FURTHER MAINSTREAM NEWSPAPER COVERAGE. The people sending it to me obviously don't think it's been covered. OR, they would have just sent me THOSE articles. NOw, maybe Times chose not to do anything with the same info I have, but that's a different issue, loser. And sorry I didn't wait around chambers today, long enough. YOUR BAD!

mayor sam, the Denham article was in YESTERDAY's Times. Can you be a bit LESS timely? :-}

and you should at least tell people that the phrase u used "three-headed monster" is not your wording, but that of mr. denham from his article.

you are beginning to write a lot like joe biden. that is, a plagiarist. or at least a fine line of distinction between the two of you. the readers expect better of u.

The Mayor is such a fucking liar. His mama taught him how to be a gangster who had no morals or values. She taught him its ok to lie and grow up to be a low life and the hell with your own community. She taught him not to have class and behave in the filth just like a "TJ." Interesting no media reported Antonio being in Washington AGAIN

....Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa spoke at the AIPAC policy conference today. (Watch his 12-minute speech here or read some highlights here.)

As the mayor often does when speaking to Jewish crowds, which he does regularly, Villaraigosa connected his life story to the Israel’s story and mentioned his favorite Jewish high school teacher.

“Israel’s story is part of who I am as an Angeleno,“ Villaraigosa said. “The history of struggle, the fighting for freedoms, an exodus from the bondage of discrimination, those echo my own community’s struggle for civil rights. And on a more personal level when it comes to Israel, my roots run deep. They go back to my mother, who believed in the power of diversity and the value of every human being; to my childhood in East L.A., Jewish neighbors welcomed me into their homes and never turned a cold eye of bigotry toward my family; to Herman Katz, the Jewish teacher who saw potential in a high school dropout and sent me on a course to college

Oh my gosh...look at you losers who sit and post this meaningless nothingness about me?

"I'm not the famed zuma hater, but his routine is getting a little old."

What routine? Blogging and public comment about city hall fraud, waste and abuse? There's no routine on this blog??? Do I post paypal alerts on this blog? Do I post ANYTHING besides responding to you LOSERS?

So you post a bunch of stuff about me that means nothing, then complain about it, then say it's old.

O.K.??? You're right...? Whatever point it is that you are trying to make.

So, no comments on the CalPERS CD 14 connection, or anything. Just some speculation about me?

A couple people really need to sit down and speak with Deepak Chopra or Wayne Dyer.

I got MY problems, but MY problems are I can't stop blogging and going to council meetings to expose corruption and pass on whatever info I can, but look at YOUR problem...you are obsessed with me. And a couple of you ARE absolutely obsessed.

I don't think anyone really cares about your dumb spin at the end of the day, anyway.

But the point is, the more they clog up the blog with this non-sense, the less people will be talking about Nunez's CalPERS commission appointment and all that has been going on with the pension money.

Whatever keeps it off the REAL stuff.

I mean, if there is ANYTHING more of a waste, it's pointing out who you think is making a comment that doesn't matter anyway. DON'T YOU SEE THE MADNESS...WHO CARES?!?!?

Mayor Sam wants to approve dumb, comments speculating on my personal life...FINE!

BUT YOU CANNOT EXPLAIN WHY ALL THESE, "IT'S MARY POSTING AGAINST ZUMA" COMMENTS ARE APPROVED???

No zd, I think the person is complaining that since you are on your own blog, you shouldn't need to come to this blog and comment. If people want to hear what you have to say, they know where to reach you. By your own words, your blog is doing great, so anyone who wants to hear you can go there. Some of us want to be free of your work and not have to deal with it here, too. If they want it, they'll go to your blog. If they don't want it, they want to be here free & clear of it.

Get it? Get zd at zd's blog. Not have to deal with zd, at higby's blog.

So when you do come here, instead of focusing on your own thing, at your own blog, clearly it's upsetting people. And from what I've read, it's a lot more than one or two malcontents.

Buy it or not, that's what's happening here. and you have the power to make it stop.

ISN'T THIS AGAINST THE LAW??
....Also Tuesday, the Department of Water and Power board voted to increase the amount of ratepayer money it contributes from its power fund to the city's general fund by $27.8 million, increasing the total transfer to $230 million.

The action, requested by the mayor, comes after a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge ruled that the DWP's long-standing practice of moving money from its separate water fund into the city's general fund violated provisions of the anti-tax measure Proposition 218

236 is right ZD. I think people wish you could deal with these issues at your own blog, since your posting here distracts people from the other subjects.

If people want to read your thoughts, they know where to go.

Also, if more than mary cummings is posting here about you, it means that more people than just her are tired of hearing from you.

But, mary c. has a history of creating other online personas and posting contradictory comments. In that instance, maybe all of them ARE her.

Whether it is many people posting that they don't like you, or Mary doing all of it, you should consider just doing your own thing on your own blog since it creates a major distraction here. We all know where to go for your updates.
