Waiting is the hardest part for the LA 32 NC when dealing with Councilman Jose Huizar's Chief of Staff Ana Cubas as "CLARTSgate" continues

Will CD 14 Councilman Jose Huizar Chief of Staff Ana Cubas respect the LA 32 Neighborhood Council with answers to their written questions on the CLARTS and other discretionary funds?

Page one of drafted letter to CD 14 Chief of Staff Ana Cubas from the LA 32 Neighborhood Council, after her October 6, 2010 appearance on the behalf of Councilman Huizar.

Page two of draft letter that contains LA 32 board members and stakeholders questions that Chief of Staff Ana Cubas could not answer at October 6, 2010 meeting.

Page one of "formal and approved minutes" of October 6, 2010 LA 32 NC meeting.

Last page of minutes which contains description of Chief of Staff Ana Cubas's conduct at October 6, 2010.
When the LA 32 Neighborhood Council meets this Wednesday for their first gathering of 2011, one wonders if CD 14 Councilman Jose Huizar's Chief of Staff Ana Cubas will have any answers to the questions requested by the NC and its stakeholders.
Since this meeting, the growing controversy over the lack of full disclosure on the status of the CLARTS Fund, has some coining Councilman Jose "Tricky Huizzy" Huizar's stonewalling on the exclusive CD 14 amenities fund, "CLARTSgate". A sure sign that this controversy is not ending anytime soon.
The drafted letter above was sent to Chief of Staff Ana Cubas after her less than sustenance appearance, in place of her boss who had a "prior engagement". This despite four weeks of advance notice with questions provided at time of invite.
Some have speculated that Councilman Huizar feared an "political ambush" by his opponents in the current city council campaign. But paramount in the LA 32 NC priorities was creating an objective meeting environment where the councilman could give his requested presentation without unwarranted political and personal attacks.
But the reality was that Councilman Huizar was a no show and his designated messenger Chief of Staff Ana Cubas, lefted behind more questions than answers. Questions whether Councilman Huizar has something to hide with his transfare of $1.8 million of CLARTS Fund money to "Council Office" and "General Purpose" accounts?
Thus, because of Councilman Huizar's "Nixonian proclivities" the pursuit of full disclosure on the CLARTS Fund or what is now becoming Tricky Huizzy's "CLARTSgate" rumbles on a looming collision course with the CD 14 voters before the March elections.

So, I think the main question to come from this intriguing expose (read: NOONE cares!) is this, RS/SJ:

"Why can't you get the same 8th grader who proof-reads the LA32 NC minutes for you to take a quick look at your increasingly illiterate posts here, first?"

(The literate, and even semi-literate readers here would greatly appreciate it).

Maybe it's just you, Scott.

I hear the treasurer of the Arroyo Seco neighborhood council (voted as the "best in CD14" by you last year - before you wee elected to LA32) asked many of the same questions of Huizar re: amenities funds months ago and quickly got a face-to-face, line-by-line meeting with Huizar and his staff where they answered all questions to his satisfaction.

Apparently your "ready-FIRE-aim" approach to dealing with City Council is part of the problem -- not the solution.

Your so-obvious intention to turn every answer, regardless of how complete, into a bludgeoning weapon against the incumbent makes it pretty much pointless for anyone to actually deal with you.

Scott, when are you just going to come clean and admit you're an unpaid (?) shill for the Rudy Martinez campaign?

It's obvious from the postings and comments on this issue, over and over again that you're not getting any support from CD14 people other than the same angry gang of 12 Huizar-haters in your tireless/tiring crusade to "root out" the evil that is simply this:

... Huizar deciding how to spend CLARTS funds (rather than Nick Pacheco, who's still go a hard-on for them, because he set it up, but couldn't hold onto the office long enough to use them for HIS self-promotion and private slush fund to reward supporters).

It's what they all do, but you can only DO it, if you can stay in office, and you can only STAY in office if you can keep your profile up high enough to stay in office -- its the circle-jerk of political life, at every level.

A lesson Pacheco learned too late, and now he's trying to re-live the lost episodes vicariously through Martinez.

Not that it would ever happen, but if Rudy M. was in that seat, he'd be doing the EXACT same thing, on "maybe" just maybe some of those "slush" funds would be going to feed your pet interests in El Sereno, instead of those for people you hate.

And that's no doubt what's behind all your rancor.

As a long-time neighborhood council board member elsewhere, I can guarantee you, the worst way to get a councilman's attention is to write a letter.

Nothing is easier to ignore than a couple of pieces of paper on an council's stationery. I'd be amazed if they even still have a copy of it.

Note the questions from the various LA 32 board members and community stakeholders.

Then note that the councilman has been unresponsive in clearly stating the facts on the past usage and current status of the CLARTS Fund.

Mr. Legassie is only one person but the fact that Councilman Huizar is unresponsive to a whole community (except those given their respective "cookies"), has profound ramifications come election day.

Huizar enemies' response: "THAT WAS WRONG, COMMUNITY #7 needs ABC SO much more!"

"HUIZAR IS WASTING TAXPAYER MONEY! HE'S REWARDING HIS SUPPORTERS IN COMMUNITY #3 (and not us)!"

And the numbers and which community really don't matter - the attacks would be the same silly equivocating, regardless of the expenditure.

Excellent comments today! "ready-FIRE-aim" is exactly right. If Rudy Martinez has any sense he'll keep a healthy distance from Scott Johnson's band of political plebes. For months Scott railed on Huizar's office for "stonewalling" before another blogger pointed out the information he wanted was on the City Clerk's website the whole time. Completely embarrassed, Scott responded with something to the effect of, "well gee, couldn't they have printed it out for me?"

Now it turns out Scott doesn't know who Huizar's Chief of Staff is??? All this time he's been railing against the wrong woman?????? THAT IS CLASSIC! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! I predict another lawyer letter!

To which his response was something like. "Well, it's STILL a bad idea in that neighborhood" or some such silliness.

RUN, RUDY, RUN - away from Red Spot!

Maybe mimicking his mentor, Rudy probably won't listen any more than Pacheco listened when told that his campaign "advisor" dirtbag John Edwards of Glassell Park was a huge stain on his last campaign. But, he kept him around anyway and many, many people who were on the fence jumped ship on Pacheco over the corrupt "company he kept" - not that it probably mattered much in the election.

OMG!!! the Huizar and Parke Skelton croonies on high alert becasue this issue won't go away. Not when you have the local Tv media and print, and radio covering it. IF Huizar did nothing wrong spending the money why doesn't he simply have a press conference and say so. Because he CAN'T. All the attackers against Red Spot are angry becasue you think this is a non issue but to many including the Media the silence is guilt. This isn't about any other candidates but the fact a council member abused and misused tax payer dollars. Anyone posting in favor of Huizar and against Red Spot are the naive ones. There are way more then only 12 angry people against Huizar. Try at least 10 major organizations and thousands of Mexican Americans, homeowners who live in CD14 sick of the support Huizar gives illegals.

There's a really silly, (or maybe just plain dumb!) assumption being made here by Huizar-haters, even if these transfers happened exactly as they claim they did.

There's nothing sinister about moving funds around, in some cases, to make it easier to spend them for exactly what they were collected of - but without so much red tape.

The City transfers funds from general to specific accounts all the time, and vice-versa, just to make it easier to actually combine them with other revenue to make bigger, or better purchases.

If I take my $5 and throw it into a communal pot of $50, and we buy the "mega-family feast" at Pollo Loco (which provides more food overall and that I eat my share of), does that mean my funds were "diverted" to general use that I didn't benefit from?

Okay, so maybe I would have liked one more piece of corn-on-the-cob than I got, but overall, I got more than I could have otherwise. Is that a "crime" or just the best use of the funds available to serve the needs of many, including the "district" above my waist"?

The whole "issue" is just such a smokescreen for an angry few children.

Just like a couple weeks ago these same screamers wanted to hang Huizar for a DWP vote which he-only opposed, saying he "went against the council" to "side with the mayor." Then a few days later - when it came to overturning that same Mayor's veto - it ended up the majority of his peers (included fair-haired boy Krekorian) sided with Huizar.

Bogus, bogus, bogus.

So, if this is SUCH a big issue, that "won't go away" where are the non-Huizar "croonies" posting equal (or ANY?) support for this silly stuff? Surely if it's a BIG issue, there are others outraged by the "news" reported (in local papers that no one reads; and at neighborhood council meetings that no one attends).

OR, are you admitting by calling all this response as being from "Huizar and Skelton" that there's no one behind this on the other side, to rebut itother than Red Spot (and maybe the equally annoying factless bomb-thrower Carlos Morales).

(Rudy M.'s press people even put out a release weeks ago on CLARTS, and not a single new media point picked up on it).

During the very, very slow news periods around the holidays, these people are starved for real news.

Yet, they didn't bite. Why? Because IT'S NOT NEWS! It's just some petty campaign maneuvering not very skilfully done or very truthfully relayed.

It hasn't "gone away" yet, simply because the 'manchild who cries Wolf' won't stop beating this dead horse. It hasn't "gone away" because it was never REALLY here. (There's nothing to it but bitter accusations).

Pretty soon, the exhausted villagers will stop listening to his "wolf" cries, and it will be "gone" - but it certainly isn't going to affect the outcome of an election 7-8 weeks away, either way.

If the anti-huzzies couldn't raise any critical mass with it over the last year, nothing much more is going to come of it in two months.

But, keep crying "wolf" - it'll completely marginalize any efforts someone like Rudy M. has of being taken seriously as someone with a broad understanding of CD14 (instead of just how much money he can make flipping shacks repossessed out from under some of the district's neediest people).

(Do you really think a popularly elected - twice by landslide votes - incumbent councilmember, who was greated with cheers at a district holiday parade just last month is going to be harmed in a local election because someone screams repeatedly that their "public disclosure" request wasn't honored in a timely manner?

This is the same district that just a few years ago elected Antonio Villaraigosa (in the primary) to Council when the vast majority of people knew he was lying through his teeth about not running for mayor in just a few months, and also knew he was a repeatedly adulterous, not very bright, vindictive back-room dealer.

Then, they overwhelmingly voted for him to become Mayor, knowing he'd done nothing but serial photo-ops for two years while on council (including not spending one red cent from CLARTS), to benefit the community.

And yes, Pacheco repeatedly banged that (CLARTS) drum, too, then, but it did not good.

I'm not going to vote for Rudy Martinez, because he's just a rich wannabe without a clue, but in response to 1:10 p.m., I do think Huizar's staff has an "ignore" list -- but there's more than 10 people on it.

Based on my experience, there are almost 300,000 constituents on it (i.e., nearly the entire population of CD14).

Most council offices in CD14 over the years I've lived here seem to have a "don't ignore" list of about 10 or 12, an unless you're one of them, don't bother leaving your number.

And it would be no different if it wasn't Huizar in there. If you want to see who a "Councilman Martinez" would take calls from if elected, you need look no further than here, no matter what his campaign "promises" are:

http://ethics.lacity.org/disclosure/campaign/search/public_search_results.cfm?SCHEDULE=A,B,C&rept_type=AllCon&election_id=42&cand_per_id=8096&viewtype=pf

And, since 3/4 of his campaign funds have come from one wealthy supporter named "Rudy Martinez" - that pretty much would mean he didn't need to return anyone's call, to ever get re-elected.

A dirty little not-so-secret of the rich who run for office it really DOES make them "independent" . . . of US!

If they can fund it all themselves, they can just tell 100 percent of us to go take a flying leap, whenever they disagree with what the community says it wants - especially if it differs from their plans.

People who are altrustic and want what's best for others don't usually become "rich" in their careers, because you have to really be a selfish SOB to screw enough people to make capitalism (which I'm a big fan of) to work for you that well.

And, to take it further, it's usually the angry Red Spots of the world -- who, when councilmen change office, then find themselves on the outside and suddenly not getting return calls like they did when they were part of (Pacheco's, for example) "inside" small group, who turn into the equally small group of attack dogs against the next person in that office.

Then they claim they are part of the "angry majority" (but are really just a handful of displaced bitter former insiders).

And all this happens with a few dozen rabid partisans on each side, to the detriment - but sometimes amusement - of the real majority (who don't know; don't care; and just want the potholes filled).

Meanwhile that "criminal" went off the a six-figure private gig, and we got stuck with a bobble-headed (Los Angeles Mag = ) "FAILURE" poster-child mayor named Antonio for eight miserable years.

If a story does appear on CLARTS, I can bet you with confidence it'll be one paragraph long, probably ony appear in the "online" only portion of "L.A. Now", and never be followed up by anyone at the Times that isn't working as a stringer for local gossip snippets.

And I guarantee it'll get more circulation from angry Huizar haters forwarding it to each other repeatedly, back-and-forth (with excited "DID YOU SEE THIS" subject lines), and from Red Spot posting bad digital photos of it here, than it ever will from anyone actually reading in the Times or on their site

But then at least Rudy Rich will have something to quote out of context in the slick mailers he'll bombard our mailboxes with over the coming weeks, and which will go directly into the blue bins for 99 percent of district voters.

(Of note - on his own blog, one-time wannabe CD14 candidate Tony Butka points out that Huizar is listed as a client of the firm that did this poll, and that the pollsters seemed to have heavily loaded Rudy M's negatives to goose the results in Huizar's favor.)

Interesting dynamic to any of these Council races. Early in (one of?) his two losing races mid-decade, Nick Pacheco posted similar "I'm way ahead" polls funded by his own campaign.

He then lost, BIG time. Wasn't even close.

These are never useful polls. The only ones ever done for L.A. City Council races are financed by one of the candidates (and to my AMAZEMENT!), always show that the guy paying for the poll will win easily.

Means nothing. . . posting them has more to do with trying to discourage an opponent from continuing to run, especially since the majority of CD14 residents don't know yet there's an election in March.

And, the majority of that majority of those won't know before the results are announced March 9.

I do seem to recall Mailander was no big fan of Jose Huizar. I think he once called him (here) something akin to being an "empty suit" or maybe it was that he was all boyish "grin" and no grit.

Nah, I think he's just posting what's out there. 1) Huizar's people released a poll, and 2) Huizar won by a landslide before, against an incumbent.

Those are just basic facts.

But, as someone said here a few weeks back, Rudy Martinez would also be an "empty suit" - if he bothered to wear suits.

Dear Red Spot @3:08 pm. Reporting the results of a poll is not doing Trujillo's bidding, you low reading comprehension dummy.

Rudy Martinez's campaign web site

http://www.rudy2011.org/

... still lists the "Autry Center" at Griffith Park as being in CD14 a month after it was pointed out that this makes him look like he doesn't even know what district he's running for.


Meanwhile, Huizar's campaign site:

http://huizar2011.com/

...just plain don't work, months after the other guys was already up and running.


I say, vote for NEITHER! They're both lousy supervisors of the people who work for them.

Bunch of clowns!

3:14 p.m. Are you absolutely sure?

If "righted" is a word, then why not "lefted" ?? Seems discriminatory not to be.

Check that again, please?

All I will say is keep it up Red Spot. You are really getting to the Huizar Camp otherwise why do they continue to whine and complain but continue to stay and post on this blog. There are so many people reading this CD14 race which will be the most interesting. Everyone is asking why Huizar hasn't come out with an answer on CLARTS when you have mainstream media asking the questions now. It started with the Voice, then LA Weekly, LA Times and now the local TV stations. But still SILENCE. Something doesn't seem right and how is Huizar going to get out of this

YAY, yay. Red Spot does have ONE fan left!


GOOD COMMENT, Red Spot's mom! It thanks to dedicated not-tough-love parents like you that illiterate community college dropouts have SO much self esteem in this world. (That, and the TV show "Intervention" will always have a ready supply of subjects.)

THANK YOU LA32 NC for doing the job your are responsible for, looking out for the community you serve. There are many people very disapointed with Huizar in Boyle Heights too, the reality is that CD 14 cannot affort to keep Huizar, and I will vote for Rudy, he is a hard working individual, and has been successful, something that Huizar cannot relate to.
