But other people think differently.<BR/><BR/>Please help us show that the home Neighborhood Council should be the one to decide in matters like this. <BR/><BR/>Here is some suggested text. Copy and paste it if you wish, then click here for an e-mail form :<BR/><BR/>Honorable Mr. Villaraigosa, <BR/><BR/>As a Neighborhood Council boardmember, I stand in solidarity with the Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council in their belief that they should have the leading voice in determining how city services are identified within their own community. <BR/><BR/>Please accept my request that the Council Office honor the desire of the Hermon Dog Park Organizing Committee and the Hermon Neighborhood Association as reflected by their representative Neighborhood Council, the Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council, and recommend to the Department of Parks and Recreation that the proposed Off-leash Dog Park at Hermon Park be named Hermon Dog Park. <BR/><BR/><BR/>AHHH, but, Antonio DIDN'T honor the wishes of the community or surrounding NC -- after pitting other NCs in the district against the home council (NCs that didn't even KNOW about project 6 months ago) his staff picked another name entirely -- one that NOBODY wanted and forced it on them, without benefit of a community meeting. <BR/><BR/>How DARE those neighborhood councils try to "advise" me, when I need to keep fundraising cronies happy.

Yes, ADV has one of the worst staff in years. They are rude, disrespectful and act as if the community doesn't matter. WE are paying their salaries. Did anyone look into all those staffer like Paul Hernandez who took a paid leave of absence and yet has been working in the valley on the campaign? The homicide rate ADV hasn't addressed.
