Legacy LA's Lou Calanche's "$5 Million Dollar Public Comment" to the Vernon City Council
When is a 501-C3 Non-Profit allowed to advocate for political reform in the City of Vernon or increased beer and wine sales within sensitive communities?
Did former CD 14 City Councilman and Legacy LA Executive Director Lou Calanche boss Richard Alatorre's lobbying on the behalf of the City of Vernon Power Plant proposal, help with expediting the $5 Million Dollar gift to Legacy LA?
As more becomes known about State Senator Kevin De Leon's "City of Vernon Payoff, errrr, Reform Package" it becomes more apparent that Vernon's late-hour approval of Senator's De Leon's shakedown, whoops, proposals may have some legal consequences for one 'connected non-profit". IRS statues state that a 501-C3 cannot advocate for a political position or cause. Thus, the comments below by Legacy LA's Lou Calanche and a youth associate may have some repercussions. Further, we have learned that Senator De Leon's Vernon proposals, garnered a negative response at Resurrection Parish in Boyle Heights, with chants of "you can't buy our dirty lungs". But apparently, Calanche and her associates operate under a different mindset, which should not be surprising, considering that Legacy LA was created by the politico community.
Maria Lou Calanche of Legacy LA, advised that she supports the new reforms proposed by Senator de Leon. She described the reforms as good for Vernon and a benefit to surrounding communities. Marlene Arazo, a youth at Legacy La echoed Calanche's support. As a youth who has experienced the air quality issues, she supports Senator de Leon's proposals.
It would not be a surprise if the likes of Assembly Speaker and AB 46 Author John Perez's office, might find some interest in Calanche's comments and others may see the Legacy payoff as just a "continuation of business as usual in Vernon", with new puppet masters.

LOTS OF MONEY TO BE MADE OFF THE BUSINESSES IN VERNON THAT'S WHY I DON'T WANT LA POLITIANS MESSING IN THIS CITY. THEY WILL F##K IT UP LIKE THEY'VE DONE IN LOS ANGELES WITH THEIR LAUSD,DWP,VALLEY ALLIANCES,CHAMBER PRESIDENTS AND NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCILS. THEY DON'T NEED MORE OF THESE CORRUPT TYPES MAKING A GREATER MESS THERE.
So, when is the state auditors start looking into the City of Los Angeles, follow the money, they can start with the small CLARTS FUND AND FOLLOW THE MONEY NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY, IT WILL TOUCH ALL THE RED BOTTONS OF CORRUPTION INCLUDING NON=PROFITS.
Question who got the money and for what purpose.
money from corrupt enteties only benefit curruption. No one that is honest would touch that money.
