Afternoon Briefs on the Dysfunctional Los Angeles Political Machine for Thursday
Confidant to former CD 14 City Councilman Richard Alatorre and corrupt South Gate Treasurer Albert Robles Lou Moret.
Just the act of thinking back to my high school recollection of Lou Moret playing the spoiler in the "Great CD 14 Non-Recall of 1984 against City Councilman Art Snyder" conjures up image of a politico fixer/enabler who Kept El Sereno resident and President Jimmy Carter house host Steve Rodriguez from becoming the district's first Latino City Councilman.
Now decades later and many political mentoring sessions behind him (some which have him in legal trouble), Moret a CalPERS Board Member and fifteen other fund manager and executives, were on the wrong side of a FPPC ruling and given various fines for not reporting gifts. For Moret, he was fined $400 dollars for failing to report two free dinners.
** We have a report via the "Weekly of Record" of a "sticker-bombing" at a City Planning office by noted "street artist" Stephen Fairey. This innocuous act of solidarity with another sky protest by Saber, was directed towards Planning employee Tanner Blackman wwho is part of a team drafting a new "mural ordinance" for the city.
** Lets share some linkage with the City Maven as she notes the Team Garcetti's press release that the City Council President has raised $200,000 dollars in just 13 days.
** The troika of Mayor Antonio Villar, City Councilman President Eric Garcetti and City Councilwoman Jan Perry wants the panel enpowered to name a DWP Ratepayer Advocate, to make their decision in sixty days.
Your thoughts..............

LIKE I SAID, THE COUNCIL IS MAKING ALL THE CHOICES ON WHO RUNS THE RATE PAYER OFFICE THIS IS PROBLEM NUMBER #1. THE CITIZENS SHOULD BE VOTING AND APPOINTING THESE PEOPLE NOT THE CITY. NOW ALL THE PEOPLE IN THIS NEW OFFICE WILL BE CONTROLLED AND INFLUENCED BY CITY POLITIANS NOT THE PUBLIC. IT'S ANOTHER CORRUPT THIEF OF PUBLIC RIGHTS. THE CITY'S IDEA THAT KNOWLEDGABLE PEOPLE IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR DON'T EXIST IS A POLITICAL SMOKESCREEN. MANY PEOPLE HAVE WORKED AND RUN DEPARTMENTS AT DWP WHO HAVE LEFT THEY KNOW WHAT GOES ON ALSO ANYONE WHO ENTERS THIS OFFICE WILL LEARN THE BOUNDARIES AS TIME GOES ON. DO YOU THING THAT BEUTNER OR DEASY KNEW A LOT ABOUT THEIR JOBS AT THE START. DON'T FALL FOR THIS POSTURING, IT'S B.S.!
