Mayor Sam Exclusive: ANOTHER Ethics/Measure H Violation via the Monica Rodriguez for CD-7 Campaign?

 In a Mayor Sam Exclusive, we disclose ANOTHER, alleged Ethics Commission/Measure H Charter Amendment Violation via the Monica Rodriguez for City Council Campaign, that HIGHLIGHTS, again the "Fresh Face" of the Northeast San Fernando Valley Democratic Machine's disdain for the RULES governing Open and Transparent Campaigning.

Is "Lady M Rod" giving False Witness (again) to her increasingly fraudulent CD-7 Runoff Campaign?

** Blogger's Notes: In a Mayor Sam Exclusive, we present yet ANOTHER, alleged Ethics Commission/Measure H Charter Reform Violation via the Monica Rodriguez for CD-7 Runoff Campaign, that involves ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS by a "Principal" of a Business with a JUST-RENEWED City Contract. In June of 2016, former Board of Public Works Vice-President Monica Rodriguez voted to extend the Graffiti Removal Contract for the Sun Valley Chamber of Commerce (and its apparent Sub-contractor "Sun Valley Graffiti Busters"). In August, the, NOW Former Vice-President Rodriguez, became CD-7 City Council Candidate "Lady M-Rod" ........, and who was one of her first Campaign Donors? Sun Valley Graffiti Busters Program Manager/Founder/Executive Susan Bartlett .........., who may be a GREAT CANDIDATE for a future Ethics Commission Investigation, for VIOLATING the Measure H Charter Revisions----Scott Johnson.  

Board of Public Works Memo outlining extending Graffiti Removal Contracts for entitites, including the Sun Valley Chamber of Commerce (and its "Sub-contractor (?) Sun Valley Graffiti Busters").

From the Sun Valley Chamber of Commerce Web Page: Sun Valley Graffiti Busters, operated under the Sun Valley Area Chamber of Commerce, serves the Sun Valley, California community by removing unsightly graffiti, performing street clean ups, and assisting in the pick up and removal of bulk items and abandoned vehicles.
