Boyle Heights Neighborhood Council Member Carlos Montes (with united Community Support) beats back "Petition for Removal"

In a stinging defeat for the Pro-Councilman Jose Huizar/Connected Non-Profit Faction of the Boyle Heights Neighborhood Council, the character-attacking charade that was a Kangaroo Court-like "Petition of Removal" against community-backed Carlos Montes, went down to defeat by a 8-7 vote.

** Blogger's Note: Old habits die hard at the Boyle Heights Neighborhood Council and the sound heard around the BH Political Landscape last evening, was the latest Kangaroo Court-like attempt to oust someone who would not accommodate the desires of the Huizar Political Machine ....., gone bad. A united, capacity crowd of diverse Stakeholders, sent a clear message that it would not tolerate the "Petition of Removal" against longtime Community Activist and BHNC Member Carlos Montes. The actions against Montes were clearly a attempt to remove a vocal leader who would be an impediment to the Political Agenda of CD 14 City Councilman Jose Huizar and his Connected Non-Profits supporters (ELACC, El Centro de Ayudo and others). The Pro-Huizar Faction of the BHNC (Mago Amador and her Del Pozo allies) "Jumped the Shark" in underestimating Montes community support and in turn, weaken themselves in face of a growing backlash over their conduct, especially BHNC President Vera Del Pozo and Mago Amador, who recent actions as members of the LAPD Hollenbeck CPAB, merit further review----Scott Johnson.  

A capacity-filled room was united in its support of Carlos Montes.

 Every Public Speaker from diverse backgrounds and political points of view, voiced their respective support of Carlos Montes.

Meanwhile, Huizar Cronies Diane Del Pozo and Mago Amador (with cellphone camera) can only smirk and photograph the backlash against their attempted "Petition of Removal" of Carlos Montes, which was properly defeated with united Community Support.
