Famous last words of Jack Weiss (for City Attorney 2009): "We're here till the bitter end." - That's just so wrong.
HA!
This is sad that you can't let it go already. ENOUGH ENOUGH
Here and elsewhere I’ve read ludicrous references to David Zahniser “hit pieces” against Jack Weiss.
If anything, Zahniser and the Los Angeles Times were overly even-handed and went easy on Weiss. Had they been looking to seriously damage Weiss, Zahniser and the Times would have devoted coverage to: (1) Weiss’ attendance at the Michael Rosenberg (convicted felon) fundraiser; (2) why a prominent attorney attended the David Berger-Kevin James-Dennis Zine press conference requesting that Weiss’ fundraising be investigated; and (3) whether the Weiss campaign properly returned (as promised) campaign contributions from the Rosenberg fundraiser and the illegal Kelly Candaele fundraiser, and properly reported such returns.
As far as I can tell, the Los Angeles Times addressed none of the above to any major degree. That said, Weiss and his campaign were engaged in so many shenanigans during the last days of his campaign, it would be somewhat difficult for an understaffed paper like the Times to keep up.
Nooch’s excellence as an attorney and ability to inspire and motivate should not be given short shrift. The fact that a defense attorney could obtain so many law enforcement endorsements as did Nooch demonstrates that Nooch is a defense attorney whose integrity inspires confidence amongst a wide array of groups in numerous courts.
These traits led to many volunteers devoting a tremendous number of hours to his campaign. The passion and energy displayed by Jane Usher, David Berger, and several behind-the-scene volunteers was very impressive.
John Thomas, of course, once again showed his worth as a campaign manager. Kevin James was the leader, by far, in the world of radio.
And one should not underestimate Jack Weiss’ ability to generate such strong loathing in so many voters and potential voters.
The Mayor's endorsement is the mark of death for propositions and candidates. Please endorse again Mr. Mayor. Please.
Greg give me a break. Many think the timing of the hit pieces are to coincidential. Seems many of them came out a week before the election. David Z is a good reporter but many are also questioning the fact he never reported the clients Trutanich has represented even though it was legal to do so. That's a big red flag. A very powerful person in political circles stated it was unheard of in past election coverage from Times to do that many hit pieces in a short amount of time. We're very happy Trutanich won but LA Slimes doesn't have its reputation for nothing.

Why are they 'hit pieces' when they're about Weisshole, and 'reports' when they're about Trutanich's clients?
Doesn't really matter anyway, does it. Weiss lost. That's a very good thing.
Pride goeth before the fall...
The LA TIMES DOES NOT LIKE THE BILLBOARD COMPANIES!!! CONSIDER THIS --->
So according to Jane Usher, it was not only Rocky Delgadillo but also Jack Weiss who brokered the "Billboard Companies Get Out Of Jail Free" agreement. According to Jane Usher, that agreement let the billboard companies out of the lawsuit by the City of L.A. against them, when the City of L.A. was winning the lawsuit.
WAS IT THE JACK "PRO BILLBOARD POSITION" WEISS THAT CAUSED THE MONEY PEOPLE OF LA, AS WELL AS VILLARAIGOSA, TO THROW WEISS OVERBOARD IN FAVOR OF TRUTANICH AS A NEW CITY ATTORNEY???
JANE USHER SPEAKING ON A VIDEO...Here's what I have to say. We don't need to become the billboard purists. We don't need to become the people who say, you know, no growth, stop everything. But on this issue that we've been so unable to get our arms around, on this issue of billboards where we have been so unable to enforce our own law and get control of our own destiny, let's take a pause, even a two year pause. And then, let's adopt a sensible policy, based on the consensus of our neighborhoods and communities and business people. My children and my grandchildren will thank us for it.FIGURE IT OUT, FOLKS!!! OPEN YOUR EYES.
