Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Wednesday

Polishing up the thought process of CD 12 City Councilman Mitch Englander.

Ludicrous ...........

Bravo to CD 12 City Councilman Mitch Englander for stating the obvious in regards to CD 2/7 Indicted City Councilman Richard AlarCON's proposal to turn city library cards into ID's for illegals. Sadly, Councilman Englander is so far the lone voice of reason on this issue and in the end, the likes of Councilman AlarCON with support of Mayor Antonio Villar, will succeed in giving those here illegal, the means to defraud our voting system, whoops, emerge from the illegal underground.

** Minus 45 pounds from the effects of cancer treatment, CD 11 City Councilman Bill Rosendahl made his return to the City Council Horseshoe with help of a walker. Speculation in recent weeks has center on the severity of Rosendahl's cancer illness and his fitness to seek a third term on the City Council. Rosendahl stated this to the Daily News Rick Orlov regarding his future political intentions.

"I'll decide by the first week of October if I am strong enough to serve a full term," Rosendahl said. "The last thing I want is for the voters of my district to elect someone who cannot serve." 

** Hundreds supporters of Charter Schools (and more potential campaign contributors for Monica) made their way to the Beaudry Ave. Headquarters of LAUSD yesterday. They were brought together in opposition to School Board Member Steve Zimmer's proposal to place a moratorium on new charters within the district. Zimmer is a "Johnny come lately", in capping the number of new charters and seeking better oversight of their operations, considering his support for the Charter Renewal of the Academia Semillas del Pueblo Charter School.    

** CD 14 City Councilman Jose Huizar celebrates B-day with his "One Percent Staffers" and Wife Richelle.

We bring you this rare and supposed up to date photo of CD 14 City Councilman Jose Huizar, wife Richelle  and the "One Percent Staffers", celebrating his most recent birthday last week. We have a free copy of the most recent weekly email blast, if you can name all the staffers in this photo (** we provide this long, growing cheat sheet of ex. staffers to assist). BTW, if your salary is allegedly being subsidize with CLARTS Fund transfers (see below), you show up at your bosses B-day party always.

CLARTS Fund transfer to Councilman Huizar's "salary account".
