How can one person manage that? <BR/><BR/>The <A>80 FAKE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH ORGANIZATIONS</A> is a critical issue being kept alive here by someone NOT affiliated with the Pacheco, Hahn, or ANY other campaign. It is a PERSONAL campaign to bring to light the wasteful, opportunistic, flippant, spin-happy and immoral use of something critical to CD14, (components of its safety), that SHOULD have been improved by the past CM, but NEVER was addressed. Otherwise, there would be PROOF.<BR/><BR/>In mentioning it here MANY times over the months since Villaraigosa and his team of paid LIE spinners (including the now-defunct Chief Faker), I have mentioned NUMEROUS real neighborhood watch organizations in the district, in fact practically EVERY ONE of the real ones (AND pointed out that they ALL came in to existence BEFORE our current mayor carpet-bagged into CD14 in order to run for CM of this small an apparently inconsequential political stepping stone some of us call home).<BR/><BR/>They've been mentioned in open threads, they've been inserted sarcastically, sardonically, and humorously into other threads dealing with the mayor and his NEW fake accomplishments as the presumed mayor of Los Angeles (remains to be seen, since he never did really assume the responsibilities of his LAST job in the city), as a testimony to his lack of character - which affects ALL PAST lies and FUTUE promises -- by I'm being redundant there. To AV, a promise is simply a lie that remains to be revealed. <BR/><BR/>If you search back through the archives, you'll find NAMES, DATES of meetings, LOCATIONS of watch organizations -- even contact persons in MANY cases.<BR/><BR/>The ONLY watches that haven't been mentioned by specific name, are, or course, the <A>80 FAKE ONES</A>, because they, like most of AV's accomplishments at skills necessary to lead the city, are, well. . . as the name implies, FAKE.<BR/><BR/>Finally PLEASE realize that the opponent of a mayor I have no respect for is not necesarily my ally, OR my employer. If life were that "linear" and straightforward, then Antonio Villaraigosa would still be a labor leader - the last job the held some real affinity for.</B> <BR/><BR/>P.S.

I still remember (not because I was alive when they evicted the poor and minority residents of Chavez Ravice I'm in high school) seeing a picture of a woman being dragged from her apartment kicking and screaming in order to make way for that stadium. The residents of Chavez Ravine not only got their property stolen by the city and out of state interests but were also a victim of a campaign of lies. Those residents were promised public housing to replace their homes- instead the city perverted the orginal mandate that allowed them to acquire the property and turned into a stadium. There's is a sad day in the life of Los Angeles and hopefully the heyday of men like Yorty, Paulson, and O'Malley who are willing to use the machinations of city government for a nebulous of city 'greatness' at best and sheer private interests and money-making at the worst.

Hundreds of minorities and poor were uplefted and forced to relocate. Today, the land in Chavez Revine is worth millions and the Dodger organization still has not done much for the surrounding community. Chinatown, Elisyian Park, Echo Park all suffer from the negative impacts the Dodgers bring each baseball season. Traffic, noice, air pollution and thousands of fans that commute through their neighborhoods causing havoc to their daily lives. What has the Dodger ogranization done besides adopt a grammer school nearby, ok they give pencils away. It was sad them when all those men pictured took away homes from the poor and mostly of color, and today it's still said that the Dodgers do nothing for the surrounding community.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-1130097457027705312005-10-23T12:57:00.000-07:002005-10-23T12:57:00.000-07:00Hey Mayor Sam, good call on inviting O'Malley to c...Hey Mayor Sam, good call on inviting O'Malley to cover sports.
