Outtakes from CD 14: "Lets the Campaigning Facts Bomb Away!"
"Campaign time brings out the best in our local politico, unless it has to do with showing up on time to work".
Another bloggin, bombing evening from "zee CD 14 bunker" where the political ordnance are falling, at least on the comment thread here at Mayor Sam.Great hump day evening from CD 14 where no political half-truth is beyond speculating as we near a election day in March.
Just today, a former employee of once CD 14 Councilman Nick Pacheco, was crying that he was coerced into writing contribution checks to City Council Candidate Rudy Martinez, with the promise that he would be reinbursted. Then consider who provided this exclusive to the LA Weekly? But then the voters of CD 14 might want to ask their councilman why he kept "at-will" former deputy Chief of Staff Henry Casas on the public payroll for six months (at a $50,000 dollar cost) after his past "domestic abuse episode".
Meanwhile in Eagle Rock, a tragic residential fire is causing consternation among neighbors who are claiming that the Eagle Rock Field Office of Councilman Huizar "was and has been unresponsive" to concerns about the tragic plight of the late elderly resident who's was in need of help, only to see his property, and sadly life go up in flames. Now residents fear that "supposed toxic fumes" from the burn property are endangering their neighborhood.
Is a political divorce already in the making between "Jose y Jose"? Boyle Heights Neighborhood Council President Jose Aguilar was noted in yesterday's Daily News taking supposed "political comps" to task for his "unexcused absence". Further, Aguilar was vocal is supporting the actions of the CRA Adelante Advisory Board last evening. But some still question why he has not released a video he has of the LA 32 Neighborhood Council Meeting where Huizar's Chief of Staff Ana Cubas fail to answer the questions of LA 32 Board Members pertaining to the status of the CLARTS Fund. Also, some are wondering if the BHNC will take the lead in planning a CD 14 Candidate Forum for their community? 
Are the "rank and file of LAPD" upset with Councilman Huizar's "grading of supposed officer's loyalty"? This may impact a future Police Protective League endorsement in the days ahead.
From the Facebook Page of El Sereno Our Town Magazine Editor Julio Torres (3 and 5) who was the only "perfect score" on Councilman Huizar's infamous "loyalty and influence list. Is the person holding the Huizar sign on the left (figuratively and politically), one Academia Semillas del Pueblo Principal Marcos Aguilar? Thus, can we wonder what would be Team Huizzy's reaction if Walter Moore was photograph with a Rudy Martinez sign?Your thoughts..............

THE WYVERNWOOD DEAL SMELLS FISHY
Alatorre Home Deal Received Array of Help
Real estate: Associates of investor who sought city pact aided purchase. He and the councilman deny wrongdoing.
December 23, 1997|RICH CONNELL and ROBERT J. LOPEZ | TIMES STAFF WRITERS
The common denominator in these efforts was property investor Samuel S. Mevorach. While he and his friends were helping Alatorre, the councilman was pushing a $91-million city-backed purchase of Mevorach's sprawling rental property, the Wyvernwood Garden Apartments, according to interviews and records.
When contacted by the newspaper, Alatorre and Mevorach failed to respond specifically to questions about their financial and personal ties, except to broadly insist that they have done nothing wrong.
At the time of the assistance, according to Mevorach associates, the councilman was having trouble securing a mortgage for a more spacious home because he was saddled with monthly payments on his condominium, which was worth less than what he owed.
To create an illusion of higher income for Alatorre, Mevorach and two associates produced a fictitious lease on the condo to make the lawmaker a better loan candidate, according to financial records and a key participant.
That participant, property investor Han Huskey, said he became the sham tenant in a plan designed to ensure the councilman's continuing support of the Wyvernwood apartment deal--worth about $30 million to Mevorach.
"Sam Mevorach, my longtime friend, asked me if I could help him [and] his friend Richard Alatorre . . . to set up this lease agreement on the condo," Huskey said. Mevorach, he said, "was in the middle of the transaction on the Wyvernwood. That was the whole reason he wanted to help."
For authenticity, Huskey said he was asked to write a $2,800 check to the councilman, supposedly for the first and last months' rent. Huskey said he was reimbursed in cash, on the spot, by yet another Mevorach associate.
Financial records reviewed by The Times disclose that Alatorre cashed the check the next day, Aug. 15, 1996, but failed to report the payment on his city conflict-of-interest forms.
HUH? THE CITY IS STILL BAILING OUT THIS PIECE OF SHIT PROPERTY? CRA MONEY? HUIZAR????
WYVERNWOOD TIMELINE
1939 - Built in 1939, Wyvernwood Garden Apartments is a residential complex that spans more than 70 acres in Boyle Heights. It was the first large-scale garden apartment complex in Los Angeles backed by the Federal Housing Administration ( FHA).
1986 - A "new" concept then was the "garden apartment" complex, fostered by the large- scale rental housing division of the Federal Housing Administration.
1993 - Lead checks of Morales' apartment, in the Wyvernwood Garden Apartments in Boyle Heights, showed lead everywhere, from the windowsills and walls to the doors and the carpeting.
1997 - Associates of property owner Samuel S. Mevorach helped Alatorre buy a home in Eagle Rock, while Alatorre backed a proposal for the city to provide loans to buy Mevorach's Wyvernwood Garden Apartments, the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday. The associates of Mevorach fabricated a lease
1998 - Alatorre is the target of an FBI investigation into whether he improperly benefited financially from businessman Samuel S. Mevorach or from Mevorach's associates while the councilman was pushing for the city to buy the Wyvernwood Garden Apartments
1998- MARKET OWNER TIED TO PROBE
The purchaser of the giant Valencia Marketplace is an Arcadia businessman linked to an FBI probe of Los Angeles Councilman Richard Alatorre, documents show. Samuel S. Mevorach, whose name was kept secret when The Newhall Land and Farming Company announced the $111 million sale two weeks ago, was disclosed as the purchaser in a report filed Monday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.Law enforcement sources told the Daily News in January that the FBI was looking into
1998 - James K. Hahn's office with the owner of the Wyvernwood Garden Apartments in Boyle Heights is a landmark case in efforts to identify and treat thousands of low-income children at risk of lead poisoning, prosecutors and public health officials say.
2007 - The Wyvernwood Garden Apartments Loan was originated on June 8, 2007 by or on behalf of Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC.
Boyle Heights redevelopment: An article in Friday's Section A about plans to redevelop the Wyvernwood Garden Apartments first said the complex was in East Los Angeles, then said it was in Boyle Heights.
2009 - The largest specially serviced asset, Wyvernwood Garden Apartments (3.3%), which is located in Los Angeles, CA, transferred to special servicing in October 2008 for imminent default. The borrower is in discussions with the special servicer for a loan modification.
CD 14 EL SERENO
The businessmen who sold the hotel to a new developer donated $100,000 to a charity Alatorre helped create--the El Sereno Youth Development Corp.--directly from the escrow account on the city-backed transaction, the filing states.
The donation was intended to "alleviate the risk" that City Hall would back away from the deal, the investors' filing asserts. "In exchange for the $100,000 . . . the council member would clear the way for the Hayward project and ensure that any unfavorable reports would not get in the way of passing the deal through the City Council." Attorneys for the investors portray Alatorre as a pivotal player in the deal. C. Randolph Fishburn, an attorney with White & Case, the firm representing bondholders, said the El Sereno youth center donation was "the direct benefit that gave Alatorre the incentive to approve this project at any cost. . . .
Mevorach and one of the hotel sellers, Han Huskey, were involved in Alatorre's purchase of a new Eagle Rock home in 1996, a transaction that helped spark the continuing federal investigation. The Times reported last year that Huskey--at Mevorach's request--and several Mevorach associates assisted the lawmaker in seeking a loan for the home, as well as leasing and later buying a money-losing condominium that Alatorre needed to unload.
RED SPOT,
THIS BATTLE IS LOST.
ALATORRE IS THE GODFATHER.
IS THERE A GODMOTHER?
The reason Huizar was late to the meeting yesterday was because he was in a private meeting in his private office with Francine, Gustavo and Steve Kaufman.
Eric knew about this this and that is why he blow his top.

ALATORRE HAS DIRT ON EVERYONE. HE WON'T HESITATE TO USE IT. HE IS THE PUPPET MASTER. ANTONIO WON'T MOVE A FINGER WITHOUT HIS APPROVAL.
Why are we fucking with The King? The post is about the current CD 14 CM, so please stick to the issues.
9:58pm what facts do you have about the meeting in Huizar office? I was with Huizar right before he left the press conferences you dam lair!
King who?
EL SERENO YOUTH CENTER
Margie Huitron-Executive Director
3-Person Board Member-
Angie Alatorre (Richard's wife), Armando Hernandez, Steve Martinez approved non profit expenditures.
$100,000 gift via Alatorre/Mevorach
Angie Alatorre-Catering Business
Catered El Sereno Youth Center events with EXAGERRATED FEES.
Upon creation Alatorre announced million-dollar building for El Sereno Youth.
1993- Alatorre raised half a million dollars for construction project. Money soon disappeared.
"The [federal] government had subpoenaed all of the records"
El Sereno Youth organization also made substantial outlays in its Alatorre days, particularly for its prime public events. These were invariably staged by an outfit called Eventfully Yours, which charged mightily for its labors. The catering company was staffed by Mrs. Alatorre — then a center board member — and her sister. Although the Yours charges were high, there is no indication that the event operations were ever put out for competitive bid.
This is the man who runs City Hall
Was it Erik or Erick? At least spell it right if you're going to spread lies and innuendo bitches.
Red Spot,
What did I say?
Confirmed. Alatorre is the Godfather.

Here's how your anti-Huizzy superhero Rudy Rich operates: http://blogs.laweekly.com/informer/2011/01/rudy_martinez_contributions.php.
How is that an improvement? And have any of you actually seen his reality TV show? Shady to say the least.
9:58
Your right about that meeting but that was after he was late to the council meeting and not before.
According to Huizar staffers Jose is totally out of it and looking like shit. He never goes to the campaign office and is canceling events left and right.
9:58
Steve Kaufman could not have been at that meeting, Jose has brought in a new attorney to replace Kaufman over the past few days.

The Al Capone treatment
Thick pride may have also contributed to his troubles. By 1996, Alatorre’s machinations to funnel government work to Hispanic-run ventures struck many as heavy-handed, as did his connections to the East Los Angeles Community Union, Corboda Corp., and various MTA contractors seeking a piece of a $1-billion rail line through his district. Newly elected Council members didn’t fear him as others once had. In what turned out to be his last campaign, a political novice forced him into a runoff.
President Mubarak pledged to 'cut off the head of the snake'
TOLD YA SO, WEEKS AGO. When the financial reports first started coming back.
If Rudy's campaign people had to WAIT until Ethics questioned those checks, they are too damn-ed dumb to run a liquor store, let alone a political campaign
Tricky Nicky screwed his own political career by cutting ethical corners and alienating his constituents. Now he sending Rudy Rich's non-career into the toilet.
Huizar's people have to just SIT BACK and relax, which the amateurs keepin shooting themselves in both feet, with both barrels.
Pacheco and Rudy Rich.
The ethically challenged twins of Eagle Rock.
Huizar + Gustavo = Trouble
10:20
YEAH, Huizar should send that cable network a HUGE check as thank you, they've been running Rudy-flip-house episodes almost every weekend locally
Last one, he was flipping a house in South L.A., ranting and raving a illegal day laborers he had hired, for doing a bad job.
THEN he holds the property for 8-9 weeks, turns a 50 percent profit, nets $150K for bossing little guys around.
THIS is the guy that's gonna LISTEN to constituents more than Huizar. The screaming, angry victacrat that thinks everyone is out to scam him. That gives bad instructions then blows his stack when his poor employees can't understand, and gets everything wrong.
Even ran WAY over budget on the repairs, because he's such a lousy planner and boss.
Yeah, no, stick to that racket Rudy. It suits your "skills."
10:10
"you dam lair"
Rick Coca? need some sleep buddy.
10:20
Other than your McArthyism tactics of "guilt by association" how is Martinez responsible for something that appears to have happened in another person's office.
Let's not go back to the red scare days and focus on the things the candidates actually did themselves, both of them have enough to criticize for two elections.
11:10
Kaufman was not fired, he quit.
Steve is too smart to go down with the Huizar sinking ship, the guy is an election lawyer and not a criminal lawyer.
11:17
Tricky Nicky screwed his own political career by cutting ethical corners and alienating his constituents.
Really???
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa did a number on Councilmember Nick Pacheco in that 2003 campaign.
The District Attorney's office could never find any smoking gun or even smoke beyond AV's allegations. No one outside of the AV campaign could corroborate any of the mudslinging from the campaign.
Is there a specific ethical corner that you are referring to? I think the Mayor beat Pacheco ten times more than I think Pacheco beat himself. I gotta give AV credit for that one. He ran a better campaign and Pacheco never recovered from the death of his field general Lloyd Monserratt.
At the end, only AV supporters believe the political attacks against NP after the District Attorney's office could not substantiate any of it.
xAVx
According to two for Huizar's former staffers, they and a lot of their former co-workers have been getting calls from LA Times reporter's all day today.
Scott Johnson,
Do you have some intelligence on what the PPL is going to do?
Its a known fact that both Jose and Rudy went to do their interviews right after the Glassell Park forum.
As much as i hate jose, someone was saying he left in a hurry, that was because he had to meet with PPL afterwards, thats the truth.
Rudy's people told me that they were in the hallway when they saw Jose come out and then Rudy delivered his best performance of the campaign with the PPL members.
They hugged him and thanked him for all his help with the Police department and promised his people that the person who supports public safety the most will get their nod.
Red Spotty - me thinks you are a soothsayer!
You heard it here first folks - Rudy got PPL!
11:54
Setting aside Rudy's criminal background (documented - multiple convictions), and his inability to keep from (almost) admitting to more in public forums, let's just says that anyone TOO DAMN DUMBB to realize the HUGE ETHICAL RED FLAGS inherent in taking a whole mess of max-donation checks from employees of ONE law firm, where the principal's nickname ALL OVER CD14 is "Tricky Nicky" -- just doesn't deserve support in the election from anyone but blood relatives.
Was Rudy born yesterday? This was one of the HUGE smoking guns against Jimmy Hahn just5 years ago - taking MAX DONATIONS from a whole mess of Fleshman Hillard flacks to get re-elected mayor.
Of course there was something hinky going on, and if Rudy intended all along to self-finance his campaign, why risk the SORDID APPEARANCES for a few thousand more.
Way before Parke Skelton starting bitching about it, common posters here said the same things.
LOOKS LIKE A DUCK, WALKS LIKE A DUCK....
Hmmm, compare the class of the two camps.
Martinez's mother "blows the whistle" on Huizar, her former employer, keeping perfectly legal lists... no one with the Huizar campaign makes any attempt to publicly demonize her.
Pacheco's employee "blows the whistle" and completely illegal campaign money laundering... and his ex-employer -- Martinez's main-man endorser, mentor, and spiritual (political) father -- trashes his ex-employee like he was yesterday's slop pot.
Yet, all the Huizar haters keep saying it's Huizar's posse that's so vindictive?
Pure B.S.
12:42 a.m.
"At the end, only AV supporters believe the political attacks against NP after the District Attorney's office could not substantiate any of it."
That may be true, but unfortunately for Nick, AV's supporters outnumbered Pacheco's by about two-to-one (and would have even without the "mudslinging" - he was just never all that popular in CD14 - he barely got elected the first time, and then Huizar's outnumbered Nick's almost three-to-one.
By now, it's probably four-to-one, which doesn't bode well for Rudy M. who's trying to ride the same frayed coattails.
So, you see, it's a numbers game. You don't have to convince EVERYBODY -- two, three, or four times as many as the other guy is way plenty.
OMG Huizar spinners are on overdrive. The fact Huizar disrespected the public when an important issue like CRA was on the agenda and failed to show up and had it reported not only in the local newspapers but also shocking on tv news channels if bad for Huizar. That's the best negative publicity money can buy. Word is a developer story is soon to hit from downtown. We all know Huizar has been in bed with them. Timing is everything. He has long disrespected constituents and now he's going to pay for it. Businesses owners who were asked to put signs in their windows or else???? They won't be voting for Huizar. Every week there's been a negative hit piece on him. And yes, the media is calling a lot of constituents these days who have been silent for years.
For the record the PPL Board of Directors are the only ones who will endorse a candidate. This means no police officers in the districts have a say even though its the officer's union dues which will pay to help the candidate. Its a known fact that LAPD Officers in districts of Jan Perry, Ed Reyes, Richard Alarcon, Jose Huizar, Bernard Parks Greig Smith, Dennis Zine, Janice Hahn, Herb Wesson, all can't stand these politicians. LAPD in general except for the dumb command staff at Beck's level all hate the Failure of a Mayor. Police Officers especially the Mayor's former detail guys have more inside scoop of the bullshit the Mayor does behind closed doors. They all know the Mayor is nothing more then a gangster in a suit. Unfortunately, they've all been told to stay out of the politics and keep their mouths shut.

Steve Kaufman was neither quit or fired. He just helped Huizar find an attorney to deal with non campaign issues.
He is still the Treasurer for the campgaign.
Steve is a good man, dont drag him into this shit.
10:39
Why would Huizar need an attorney to handle other matters? What other matters would he have?
So it's better that the elected CM of the district just not represent neo-Aztecs like Aguilar?
Shun the people that some other consider offensive, even though your their rep, too?
6:27
My SLO thinks Rudy M. is a dangerous little scumbag.
He told me so ("not for attribution"), and he made it clear the others working with him plan to steer clear of the guy, regardless.
So much for your "intel".
Nobody at Eastside precincts would be looking forward to changing CMs now. At the very least it means training a whole new staff of district staffers who couldn't tell you what's a police matter and what's not.
No one needs that aggravation.
"Word is..." "Word is..."
Why don't you fakes and amateurs just admit the truth. You're puny nobodies sitting in your basements making crap up.
"Word is..."
PFaaaah, amaters.
11:41am Yeah right your SLO!!!! Ask the majority of LAPD and Hollenbeck gang cops what they think of the Mexican Mafia thug Huizar after viewing this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xGeD1sa48A&playnext=1&list=PL0372B522182A304F
He cares more about the Hazard Gangsters then the residents who have been terrorized by gang violence for decades.
I don't think it is Huizar who needs an attorney but Gustavo and Francine.
They are the ones who run that idiot any way.
Rudy Martinez at G. Park forum, to the 5-6 cops in the back of the room.
"You guys know I love you, and support you, right? Nod your heads!"
NO RESPONSE, ALL FIVE LOOK DOWN AT THE FLOOR, until he's off the mike.
The proof isn't in anonymous postings here, it's in what can be seen and observed at every meeting where both are present.
The cops have their ears to the ground, and they know who'll be dealing with public safety issues in CD14 and citywide the next four years, and it isn't the guy whole stole and disrespected one of the badges - the badge they worked their butts off to earn, and only THEY deserve to have in their hands.
Not the guy who flashed it around a sleazy bar in Pasadena to avoid the embarrassment of getting his butt kicked by another drunk. Not the guy the PPD confiscated it from (and probably should have arrested him for even holding). Strike . .. 5?
It won't be the "impersonator" - first pretending to BE a cop, now pretending to be a candidate for City Council.
Both equally fake and unqualified.
When is Rudy M. going to realize that "Tricky Nicky" is a huge drain on whatever credibility he might hope to have?
There's something more "loyal" than smart about both these guys.
Pacheco let the infamous, hated "John Edwards" of Glassell drag him even further down in his subsequent attempts to get back in office, knowing full well that the minute Edwards stepped into a community meeting anywhere in the Northeast, a cold deathly chill went into the air. (He knew, beceause many of Nick's own supporters told him that point-blank).
Do you want to win, or do you want to make sure your questionable friends will still like you after you lose?
(Trick question - if you lose, they won't!)
1:11
More to the point, DA's report or not, Villaraigosa's hatchet men wouldn't have been able to "pretend" (if that's what it was), that there was a fire under Pacheco's feet if there wasn't already "smoke" there -- it just wouldn't have stuck.
Not too dissimilar with what Rudy's people are doing now with Huizar's dumb (but not illegal) lists.
If Pacheco hadn't spent 4 years skating near the very edge on so many possibly unethical practices - riding the loophole log down the river - AV wouldn't have been able to capitalize on them, true or not.
Smarter politicians stay SO damn far away from the questionable that they can't even be seen in the same widescreen frame.
Nick put his feet up on questionable practices and then gloated that "technically" this is legal, "I know, I'm an attorney".
But the court of public opinion - he found - gives no "appeals" process once you've been booted out as being dirty.
Maybe Huizar just learned a few years before this election with the lists, where Pacheco never did. Thay may save him.
Being "technically" innocent don't mean "sh*t* once the mud looks like it may belong on you.
Pacheco burned his own self. Puffed up his own cloud of smoke through arrogance.

Well, that's an new one.

Sometimes they say I'm Turd-jillo, sometimes Henry Casas, sometimes Parque (that's the FUNNY-est one... ), oe some guy named Coca (never met him; don't care to).
This is the first time I've been called a woman!
The lengths the haters go to avoid actually countering the arguments is mind-boggling. Apparently, if you pretend a Huizar staff or campaign posted it, that immediately negates the fact that it's actually true.
Only here would that actually fly as "political discourse."

VILLARAIGOSA DUPLICATES TEACH FOR AMERICA MODEL WITH NON PROFIT AGENCIES.
"SHOW ME DA MONEY!!!!!!!!"
Michelle Rhee (TEACH FOR AMERICA) has fired over 1000 teachers and administrators over questionable “test scores”, and replaced them with Teach for America candidates. This program, supported by Federal Grants, can enter the classroom after five weeks of training, at entry level salary… This greatly increased her operating budget, making her look good, but at whose expense? I wonder how she would rate her own performance during her three year teaching stint, she publically admits to taping students mouths shut, and some bleeding upon removing the tape! Will this be part of her new school reform? What does she need the billion dollars for? Sounds like the self proclaimed “Michelle Rhee first campaign”! For more on her corruption charges just google “Michelle Rhee corruption”… Investors will be driven by the profit moti

Supposed he rushed righted over and e-mail DZ back what it was for, becaused he forgotted the arrest, trial, conviction, sentence? NO memory, just slipped his mind.
I supposed not. He am "MEESTER TRAMPS-PARENT" - but not right now, he am busy, now. He be better with that once on the public payroll.
Uh, huh!
2:19 GIVE UP!
AMATEUR SPINSTER!
WHERE'S THE MOLE?
CITY HALL
TFA IS AN ELITIST ORGANIZATION. I would protest any school bringing in TFA teachers unless that school legitimately could not get anyone else to teach there. And in this economy, that's unlikely. Let the high-class sorority sisters and frat brothers go into their real professions as stock brokers and upper-management, and let the real teachers do the teaching.
Teach for America primarily recruits non-teacher rich kids from Ivy League schools who most often do not continue in the teaching profesion once they finish with TFA. If TFA wants to get good teachers in schools, they should focus on hiring/placing people from teacher education programs - people who need those placements and who will continue to be teachers once they're done with TFA. In this way, TFA is nothing more than a band-aid institution where real education is concerned. Their major purpose is to get powerful people (ie. rich kids who will go on to be titans of industry/politics) involved in education. It's like a training ground for lobbyists.
TFA also takes jobs away from new teachers (TFA contracts with school districts then shuts out new hires). TFA is in the business of politicizing education, which is probably not what education needs in the long run. They also thumb their nose at the teaching profession by not using their resources to give *real* teachers extra training and support. It's a sadly misguided organization.
Equal opportunity isn't the problem. There is plenty of oppprtunity out there. The problem is equal tenacity - or lack there of. They need to adopt my work ethic. That means get a job and buy their own Cadillac. Not depend on social assistance or public welfare to do it for them. They need to stand up for themselves.
I'm sure LAPD Officers are happy that Councilman Huizar before knowing any facts and a lawyer to at that criticized and through them under the bus and asked for an FBI investigation because he was protecting the gangsters. There are a couple of videos with Huizar speaking out against LAPD making the rounds.
Lool at this one. Sure doesn't look like he supports police

Thank You!
Isn't that interesting that EVERYbody seems to be using Kaufman?
Check out there client list.
http://www.kaufmanlegalgroup.com/client.php
The politicians, the unions, and the business organizations.....all have financial dealings with the same office.
That is convenient...
Huizar's there too...
And why would the LAPD on the Eastside and Central want to rock the boat at this point, when they've got their little "deals" worked out with Huizar. Why is Lt. Paul Vernon doing PR spins for Huizar...Ask the officers about special Olvera street assignments... and don't forget Fiesta Broadway... They sure do seem to make themselves available...
And doesn't it look bad for a Lt. with the LAPD to be selling his consulting services on Linkedin?
Pretty big PR mistake for somebody who claims to be an expert in PR and police ethics.
OK If Eli Broad has $25 million to donate to Teach America...Why can't he build his own damn parking garage?
Okay, Rudy Rich's paid peeps, read up. You're caught IN VIOLATION of LAMC § 49.7.11C of ethics campaign rules, ALREADY!
I asked before nicely, gave you a chance to "pretend" you forgot, but now WHERE ARE THE copies of the Huizar lists that YOU distributed via snailmail to hundreds of people on those lists?
You posted the COVER letter, but not the lists you copied in mass quantities and attached to them as part of your CAMPAIGN LITERATURE(afraid they're incriminating, about how you got 'em?) Don't want them on-record anywhere you can't control? "On advice of counsel (Tricky Nicky")" you think you can loophole out of that because you didn't actually FORMAT the spreadsheets yourself (AH, better look that legal precedent up - if you mass produce something and attach it to your own interpretation of events - like your filed COVER LETTER, it becomes part of a wholly new "publication" that YOU created.
LAW SAYS:
"CAMPAIGN COMMUNICATIONS
A. Filing Requirements
Whenever your committee distributes more than 200 substantially similar pieces of campaign literature within a calendar month (either by mail or by other means), your committee must file a copy electronically with the CEC at the time of distribution. A candidate who is not required to create a committee may submit the literature by mail, personal delivery, or facsimile.... LAMC § 49.7.11C."
Direct V-I-O-L-A-T-I-O-N, Rudy Rich. This process of having to POST ALL you mails, e-mails, etc. is part of the required TRANSPARENCY of political campaigns that protects US, your "constituents".
They HAVE NOT BE PROVIDED to "Ethics". You are NOT being TRANSPARENT - not even complying with the basic city laws.
Acquired through theft and NOW, obscured from the Ethics Commission by playing games.
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT OF MACHINE POLITIANS THE HELL WITH THEIR COMMUNITIES. THANKS FOR POSTING THEIR SUPPORT LIST THEY SHOULD BE KNOWN. WE HAVE TOO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE FINANCING OUR DOWN FALL.
Hooo ha, and the UN-SUPPORTED just keep getting LESS supported.
Rudy Rich just had to throw away ANOTHER $50,000 of his OWN money into the hold of his RAPIDLY sinking ship sailing unchartered waters in CD14 (total $200K, out of o $260K, from HIS pocket). In 8 months, he's only collected $60K from others (and spent more then TWICE that much).
That ALSO means Alvin "DOH" Parra - four years ago had THREE TIMES as much actual constituent support (and HE only got 29 percent of the final vote). Maybe Rudy won't even go double-digits, if that's the case.
WHY did Rudy Rich have to become $50K LESS rich? Because since the last report, he has ONLY received $200 (dollars, not thousands) - TOTAL, from real people... yup 2 X $100 checks, so far this year (not even ONE donation a week). What's even more embarrassing, only HALF of that HUGE sum came from inside CD14!!!
$100 total raised from CD14, since Dec.

OH, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy. How can you be SO delusional and think this don't make you look like a HUGE unloved fraud? Can you really believe you can win this through PURE mudslinging with NO support in the district?
ONLY HUIZAR AND MARTINEZ RUNNING IN THIS DISTRICT? HUM! I THOUGHT SOMEONE ELSE WAS RUNNING HERE TOO? WELL NO MORE HUIZAR! THAT'S FOR SURE HE'S HAVING TROUBLE SHOWING UP AT COUNCIL MEETINGS.
g.
YOU ARE NOT PAYIN ATTENTION ONLY TWO CANDATES AND RUDY MARTINEZ HAS ALREADY LOST. HE CANT RAISE MONEY AND HE HAS VIOLATED CITY ETHICS LAWS WHICH WILL BE HIS FIFTH CRIMINAL CONVICTION AND NOW HE WILL GO TO JAIL FOR LIFE AND HUIZAR WILL VISIT HIM IN PRISON AND SMUGGLE HIM FILES TO SAW THE BARS INSTEAD OF GOING TO CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS. BUT JOSE WILL STILL BE THE COUNCILMEMEBR FOR 36 MORE YEARS OR UNTIL HE DIES.
(Just a quick recap for "g" and the hard of seeing!)
3:48 p.m.
Jon Regardie, take note, the sharks are circling Cap'n. Rudy of the "SS Nada Chance" faster and faster and he went and traded in his already too-small boat for an inner tube and some kids' floaties.
This can't end well for the weakend sailor.
g.
you do realize that even if Huizar manages to stay out of jail for next four years...he is termed out.
There may not even be a CD14 after redistricting...
You are going the way of Bell and the City of Vernon...
The Federal government will have to step in, and stop you from corrupting the City government.
They already had to do this to the LAPD...
If you don't get rid of Huizar on your own, it is just a matter of time.
4:46
That's 100 percent incorrect, mathematically. Under Prop R that passed several years ago, Huizar (and all current CMs), can be elected to three full terms = 12 years.
(This is how CM Alatorre was just able to re-run for a seat he was termed out of after 8 years, some years ago).
Huizar is just this year completing his first of a possible three full terms. (He also completed the final 18 months of Villaraigosa's 2003-07 term, via special election, which doesn't affect his three "full" terms allowed by law.
Huizar can potentially be in office as a City Councilmember until June 30, 2019.
And, realistically, redistricting is likely to be minimal this decade. L.A. changed less between 2000 and 2010, than between 1990 and 2000, on several related factors.
(Your failure to understand these basic aspects of L.A. City government also suggests that anything else you opined later in that same message is just as equally ill-informed, and meaningless).
I think Nick Pacheco was a good councilman. Rough start, but about 2 years into being a councilman his office really got things moving in the district.
Good to see so many people still see him as relevant with all these postings about him.
You know what they say, "good press or bad press doesn't matter, just spell my name right."
I met Pacheco at my home when he was campaigning against the Mayor and he cleared up all the mudslinging items I had read. He was earnest about doing the job, but unfortunately the Mayor took him out.
Whoever wins this election, I hope they are as earnest as Pacheco was about doing the job and getting things done in the community.
"met Pacheco ... and he cleared up all the mudslinging items I had read."
Wow, and you believed him - just because he told you it wasn't true?
Maybe he should be a priest, not a politician.
Or a faith healer.
For the person who thinks I don't understand the basics of City government...
Do you know that Council Districts are supposed to follow natural community boundaries such as rivers and freeways?
Do you know that after the the valley tried to break away, that the City council reconfirmed its commitment to follow the City charter and restore the integrity of our communities?
The narrow slice of land taken out of downtown COULD NEVER BE LEGALLY JUSTIFIED. it is nothing but the spoils of war, an event platform to be given away to the likes of Larry Gonzalez and Fiesta Broadway...
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PEOPLE OF CD14.
The Downtown Neighborhood Council refers to this sliver as the giant middle finger....look at a map.
CD 14 is preventing downtown from having any meaningful representation on the City Council.
Yes you are correct, I forgot that Huizar took a portion of Villaraigosa's term. That is an easy mistake to make, since there was no change in power. They both essentially represent the same mafia network.
And by the way *sswipe you don't need to know who I am, but its very dangerous to underestimate your enemy.
Watch "V" for Vendetta...
We all wear the same mask.
Council redistricting is controlled by a small committee.
It is normally done in-house without much public input because THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW THEY YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE YOUR DISTRICT.
The person who says that the City has not changed in the last 10 years, therefore the Council Districts won't change, doesn't know what they are talking about. In other words they are full of crap.
The people can speak up and DEMAND to have their communities united.
Ethnic make-up is only one small characteristic of a community. Neighborhoods are currently cut in half by politicians, and we have let them get away with it. These unnatural divisions are no different than the divisions that lead to several other council changes in the past, such as the creation of Latino districts and African American districts. Ask Alatorre how that's done. Nobody has done more damage to the City than him and his cronies.
And yes if the people of CD 14 can't keep their thugs out of the City Council Chamber, I absolutely believe that the Federal Government will solve your problem for you.
5:10 is pretty arrogant.....staffer?
Gotta wonder why somebody would defend this guy.
1. He's given you something.
2. He's paying you now.
3. He has promised you something.
4. You are his papi..

JOE FROM THE MEAN STREETS OF EAST LOS ANGELES SAY'S ;HOW ABOUT THIS OLD SCHOOL BOMB ?????? http://mayorsam.blogspot.com/search/label/Elephant%20Hill
7:53...
OHHHH obviously identifing you as ignorant hit a REAL big nerve.
Memories of childhood taunts?
Tenage terrors?
Adult angst?
But there really was no choice. Absolutely ZERO details you presented were true, and you were arrogantly trying to "teach" someone else, who probably has twice your IQ to begin with. (The only people that dumb and arrogant at the same time work for the City).
Yeah, but it really didn't serve your purpose well for you - ONE anonymous poster - to threaten ANOTHER anonymous poster when you have ABSOLUTELY no way ever find out who it is.
The peeps here now know for sure that I was right.
You're absolutely moronic. What's next, slashing your own tires?
10:39
Who says "Peeps"? Are you a gangmember working in Huizar's office? Who pays your salary?
I think you took my comment too literally.
I was implying that in the end, we must have faith that the GOOD people will triumph over the corrupt.
This is accomplished through the joining together of the MANY GOOD people in the community. They have power they don't even know they have.
We will not allow Los Angeles to be run by organized crime!
You should not underestimate US.
That's funny how the mafia works.
A godfather can be ugly as sin but be very slick and powerful.
If he can just survive long enough, he can hide in the shadows and breed a new public persona....
Let's see..
It should probably be somebody who has been abandoned by his father... that would make him more likely to seek the comfort of a gang or a political crime family.
They should look good....Makes it easier to get away with things...plus the godfather can live out his childhood fanatasies...oh to be desired...
And don't forget to slap a fancy college degree on him to make him credible... Not many middle class Californian's get to go Princton though, so that may take some work...
Make Papi proud!
Parke,
J Edgar Hoover had a lot of influence too.
but do you look that good in heels?
