The joke of it is that Jan Perry is doing everything she possibly can to create public opinion pressure on Nuch to make him drop the case so that AEG can "make a contribution." <br />Bullshit. Perry knows that when the City Attorney goes public with the investigation, she's going to look even more stupid than she does now. <br />Any hope Perry ever had of running for mayor will vanish when she is seen to be the stupid puppet of special interests that she is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-47717120219813120302009-12-08T20:27:47.393-08:002009-12-08T20:27:47.393-08:00Wendy was not the only one badmouthing her own con...Wendy was not the only one badmouthing her own constituents. That is a specialty of both Pat Davenport and Dale Thrush. <br /><br />Amazingly, Pat is so tone-deaf to the community that she does not hesitate to trash neighbors while talking to other neighbors. That was my first heads-up that something was seriously wrong with Ms. D. <br /><br />Her M.O.: She sidles up to you with a little hug, tells you how smart you are (and therefore how different you are than other S-T residents) and gives you an earful about the stupidity of Sunland-Tujunga residents, all the while seemingly unaware that the particular Sunland-Tujunga resident she is talking to at the moment might take offense! <br /><br />When she played the above scenario with me, she was trashing the folks organizing the No Home Depot campaign. People I knew, and some were both neighbors and friends. And yet Pat did not realize that spouting off her mouth this way was an offensive and stupid thing to do. Her position as a CD2 staffer made it unethical, too, IMHO. <br /><br />Arrogance or cluelessness? both?<br /><br />PS -- no fear that Pat or Dale can identify me from this little story. Not when she's done it to so many people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-1938349679290832422009-12-08T20:03:30.815-08:002009-12-08T20:03:30.815-08:00There is nothing great about Shallman.

Chris Essel has continued her silence regarding big development in Sunland Tujunga.<br /><br />Sometimes, being a career politician is an advantage to the community. Paul's reversals on some positions indicates he knows which way the political winds are blowing, and like a politician, he's adjusting accordingly. Essel cannot--she is not running to shut out development, but to push development through. She can't say anything that could come back to haunt her--so she says nothing.<br /><br />NoHo is another story. Development and even density makes sense in NoHo, a place with little geographical character. Krekorian has not pledged anything regarding development to NoHo, and that's the sensible position. Essel couldn't even identify a single school in NoHo early in the campaign.<br /><br />Of all the councilmembers I've watched over the past decade, Wendy Greuel was probably the most constantly disingenuous. Whenever she stepped outside her district (which was quite often), she complained about her own constituents. She cut a few deals in the interest of the community but largely she was there to ride Villaraigosa's coattails, and Villaraigosa has absolutely no passion for the legacy of any non-Latino neighborhood in the City (nor does Garcetti, for that matter). If a developer wanted to plunk a fifty-story condo in , and they gave either of these two sluts $100,000 through various friends and relatives, that is what Villaraigosa/Greuel/Garcetti would stand for.<br /><br />Paul Krekorian will stand up to the neighborhood legacy-trashing development machine. Chris Essel will not. Shallman, the dirtiest man in LA politics, is trying to win this election the way he usually wins elections: by squeaking through by obscuring the issues rather than by facing them directly.<br /><br />Is it any wonder why Essel is supported by Sheftel, Hernandez, and Jennerjahn? Plain and simple: they're all pro-free market and therefore pro <i>any</i> development, regardless of how it affects the present community. With no training as economists, they haven't the intellectual acumen to understand that a City's zoning plan is actually the execution of the will of private property owners.<br /><br />The facile free-market crooners who back Essel think that the will of out-of-town developers is just as legitimate in a community as the will of property owners in the community itself. Most everyone with actual economic training, however, knows that the will of the community is the best expression of free market economics of all.<br /><br />Smart Republicans naturally invest the most hope for local rule and community self-government. But these three Essel endorsements think that "free market" means ignoring local private property owners if any farflung developer may also have a stake in a community in which they don't reside.<br /><br />In this way, the less-gifted Republicans conflate and confuse the mechanics of the stock market (in which people can buy the same commodity from anywhere) with the mechanics of real estate (in which your property value is determined by your community first and foremost).<br /><br />I'm for Krekorian, who also understands local rule. Like Wendy Greuel, Chris Essel only has disdain for the very people she would represent on City Council.Joseph Mailanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753082460547996624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-11041290877585894372009-12-08T10:50:36.305-08:002009-12-08T10:50:36.305-08:00When it comes to politics in L.A., John Shallman i...When it comes to politics in L.A., John Shallman is Clint Eastwood, Bob Dylan, and Gandhi rolled into oneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-52366574697278948252009-12-08T10:46:45.716-08:002009-12-08T10:46:45.716-08:00Breaking Election News from the field!!
