Can You Spare Some "CLARTS Change" for the Ana Cubas Campaign, Jose?

CD 9 City Council Candidate Ana Cubas reports an abysmal $25,744 in campaign contributions, inhibiting her quest to become the first Latina Female, Princeton Graduate on the Los Angeles City Council.

Ana's fundraising totals are downright ugly.

Great Friday to all as the City Ethics Commission (or the Shallman under-billing enablers) provide us with the first runoff/general election contribution numbers to bloggin munch on. As David Zahniser reports in the "Old Gray Collectivist Hag on Spring Street", Eric Garcetti has a monetary advantage over the "explosive numbers" of Wendy "The Embraced Villar Greuel". Ron Galperin and Mike Feuer maintain slight monetary advantages over their opponents in the race for City Controller and City Attorney, respectively.

But by far, the biggest fundraising crash and burn, is the pending wreckage of the Ana Cubas for CD 9 City Council Campaign. Don"t hold your breath waiting for the first "Latino y Latina Princeton Graduate Duo" to serve at the same time on the City Council come July 1, 2013. That is especially true when you raised only $25,744 dollars, compare to union-back front runner Curren Price's $112,530. Plus, to add salt to the fiscal wound, only one member of the Delijani Clan has donated so far in the runoff.

Thus, we pronounce your councilmatic quest, a forlorn hope.

But as a bloggin compassionate CD 14 constituent, let me disclose a possible source of funding that Candidate Cubas should know quite well. Its called CLARTS.

The Central Los Angeles Refuge Transfer Station (CLARTS) Amenities Fund Balance Sheet as of 2/6/13.

Unlike a former CD 14 Councilman Jose Huizar Chief of Staff (strange, the name of that person rhymes with "Candidate Cubas", but I digress), who ignore repeated California Public Records Act requests regarding the status of the CLARTS Fund. Candidate Cubas would be glad to know as of 2/6/13, the following is the balance of the account.

$825,810.26 

We ponder with all this money in CD 14 Councilman Huizar's Campaign Slush, whoops, Community Amenities Fund, whether the Princeton Grad, could create a quick consulting contract and somehow funnel needed campaign cash to his former staffer fundraising coffers. Further, we understand that Candidate Cubas has garnered some unwanted attention, regarding her past enabling of screening the true amount in this account from the discerning CD 14 masses. Thus, we want to join with the current CD 9 political interloper, in preventing her new neighbors from receiving the below in the future.

After all, true CD 14 friends would not want Ana Cubas to get caught without CLARTS (documentation) ......., again

Your thoughts ..............
