No spin capable.

If you think that doesn't make the actual CRIME (fact) any more criminal, okay. Seek whatever comfort helps you cope.<br /><br />But realize also, that all the pro-Rudy spin that his CRIMES were SO long ago... that this "troubled boy" (actually an adult in his mid-20s), LEARNED from his past mistakes... and STOPPED commiting crimes DECADES ago, just got flushed down the toilet. <br /><br />And this is WHY he doesn't promote his time spent as an LAPD volunteer, but mentions FAR more often volunteer work that is much less impressive and that he spent far less time at. <br /><br />Simply put, because he got CAUGHT once again -- LONG after he had supposedly "learned" his lesson. <br /><br />Blame that all on the people who only released the police report - fine.<br /><br />But, I'm glad they did.

In 1992, the citizens of Los Angeles passed, with City Council support, Proposition H which was intended to protect the Merchants’ right to remain as tenants on a long term basis. Proposition H stated purpose was to “preserve the cultural integrity of the City’s birthplace and protect the merchants currently operating businesses on Olvera Street through City provided long term leases which are not subject to competitive bidding. In furtherance of this mandate, Proposition H acknowledged that “Olvera Street has been a unique historic, cultural and social resource. Its merchants have been bringing Mexican traditions to the community for over 80 years. Merchant commitment and involvement have helped preserve this historic landmark.” Over 2 million people visit El Pueblo every year.<br /><br />In implementing Proposition H, the City Council directed that its El Pueblo overseeing commission (“Monument Commission”) “enter into long term concession agreements with the existing merchants on Olvera Street without any arbitrary or artificial limit for their duration, but rather with their duration to be determined based on what is negotiated as being fair and reasonable so as to treat all merchants equitably regardless of the size of the merchant’s business.”<br /><br />In 1999, the City Council passed, by unanimous vote, a resolution that directed the Monument Commission to prepare a Master Lease for the Merchants whose essential terms were:<br /><br />•Term of 55 years.<br />•Rental rates could be adjusted every five years at the lower of the CPI Index, or comparable market rents.<br />•All Olvera Street merchants would pay a common area maintenance (CAM) fee to the City.<br />•The City would provide, at its expense, certain capital improvements including a new adjacent to Olvera Street parking structure costing $5,000,000 and rents could not be increased until this parking structure was completed.<br /><br /><br /> Now the powers that be want an additional million a year and back rent of almost 2 million from these merchants at Olvera St.<br />Smacks of unrestrained capitalist pig meat.<br />Take that cretinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-62816269807175561742011-02-05T18:10:39.790-08:002011-02-05T18:10:39.790-08:00I think you have a point, 4:26.
