Noel Weiss on Wendy Greuel's Handling of Local Bridge
The following is sent over to us by local attorney, progressive activist and former City Attorney candidate, Noel Weiss.
Noel has shared the entire file from when he deposed Wendy Greuel, who as a City Councilperson, fearful that years of City neglect could lead to a collapse on her watch, pushed through the renovation of the Moorpark Street Bridge in Studio City. Though the bridge was surely in need of replacing, Greuel was more focused on the pomp and politics of it and construction methods were used that lead to severe damage to the homes of several Studio City homeowners, including that of an 82 year old widow.
From Noel:
Please see the link of my deposition of Wendy Greuel back in 2010 where under oath Wendy just could not find the way to take responsibility for the complete 'screw-job' she did on an elderly widow whose home was damaged due to the City's engineering malpractice on the re-do of the Moorpark Street Bridge. . .
That 're-do' occurred back in 2007-2008 while Wendy was on the City Council.
Disconnected from day-to-day operations in her own office, the deposition shows a disengaged management style, little knowledge of the facts and poor leadership.
Ms. Greuel has spent a lot of time running for office, and precious little time running whatever office she holds. This can be seen in the deposition video and in her recently released Controller calendars which highlight meeting after meeting which is listed as taking place "Without Wendy." It appears from this deposition that her council office also ran "Without Wendy."

Are you being paid by Garcettis campaign? Your rather one-sided attacks on Wendy seem rather transparent. Why don't you just put "Garcetti for Mayor!" posters up on the Mayor Sam blog every day?
Yes, Wendy Greuel sucks, but Eric Garcetti is no better. Policy-wise, they will do exactly the same things.
There is no difference, except that Wendy will cater to the unions a little more than Eric will.
Beg to differ with the commenter: Wendy Greuel is "Richard Nixon in a skirt."
Phil, no one is really sure what Wendy's policy is other than do what's best for Wendy. She's flip flopped, went from Republican to Democrat to whatever and just recently pissed off feminists for her views on Plan B.
But even there is no policy difference, between Greuel and Garcetti, there is a difference when it comes to character and results. Garcetti is documented far ahead on both fronts. Why do you think so many conservatives are going with Eric when they know Wendy is not as liberal? On the other hands why are "progressive" thugs, goons and bullies going all in on Wendy? Think about it!
Politically Incorrect, we've made that point before as well! http://mayorsam.blogspot.com/2013/02/mailander-to-wendy-milhous-greuel-bring.html
Michael Higby: GOOD FOR YOU:-)
Now, when you made that point, did you discuss that while working for the MOST PROMINENT ELECTED BLACK OFFICIAL IN THE NATION AT THE TIME that HER Republican party aired the racist and vicious Willie Horton ad, she was not bothered enough to switch to D? That she showed lots of chutzpah looking into Mayor Bradley eyes after that ad aired? That it was only when she thumbed through the Plum Book looking for a political appointment from Bubba, that that lit a fire under her butt to switch from R to D? So racist ad by her R party while in the employ of Bradley did not get her to ditch the R's but a political gig for Clinton did? Understand that Roger Johnson, who was the head of Western Digital in OC was a REPUBLICAN who was tapped by Clinton to run the GSA (General Services Administration).
While we are at it, don't you wonder why the MSM not done any follow-up investigations on the LAT UCLA Hotel/Guesthouse NOT TRANSFERRING THEIR BED TAXES TO THE CITY story? Is this because the supposedly competent AUDITOR (i.e., Controller) missed it...or is she just protecting her baby blue and peacock alma mater???
Tomorrow, Sunland-Tujunga residents will hear a piece of this story they may not like so much.
