Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Wednesday

As KCBS Investigated Reporter David Goldstein discloses in his latest expose, hard-working city employees can be "drivin to drink" when given tasks that conflict with their values, such as building a moat, whoops security wall to protect the Mayor.

........ but while the city employee exposed in Goldstein's latest expose seeks "medical treatment", a certain employee who lives at Getty House, is paid to toast with the likes of City Council President Eric Garcetti and Night Club Owner Sam Nazarian who'd Industry Club Alcohol License was recently suspended.

The Eagle Rock Patch reports on CD 14 City Councilman Jose Huizar's Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council appearance last evening which was co-produced by Councilman Huizar's Eagle Rock "mechanic" and ERNC President Michael Larsen. This one question to Councilman Huizar should highlight the current state of constituent services in CD 14, unless you are a "3" on a "certain loyalty list". “According to your website, stakeholders can schedule one-on-one meetings with the Council member by appointment” said one email, from Stephen T. Kia, president of the ROCK Community Center, located a few blocks east of Yosemite Park. “Why has your staff been unresponsive to my request for an appointment for the past eight months (since the election in March)?”

(Huevon) Huizar asked his deputies, who were present at the ERNC board meeting, to redress Kia’s grievance.

Long time, self-serving (and developer/ city council person permit puller) Glassell Park Neighborhood Council Chairperson Bradley, may see his reign come to a no quorum ending as former ally Tony Butka takes Bradley to task for numerous violations of DONE protocals.
