Outtakes from CD 14 Special Report: What has Councilman Huizar done to stop the illegal housing of Sex Offenders in El Sereno?

2008 letter to Counciman Huizar from Supervisor Gloria Molina. What has change since 2008?

Letter from State Senator Gloria Romero regarding the illegal housing of Sex Offenders in El Sereno.

Rally on November 13, 2010 to demand action and firing of Maria Franco.

What issues will the voters in CD 14 use to gauge whether current Councilman Huizar, is worthy of four more years as their councilman?

For many in El Sereno, his leadership or lack of, regarding the illegal housing of sex offenders, will be the defining issue whether to support him in 2011. And judging by the numbers given to the LA-32 Neighborhood Council at its October meeting, he is in trouble.

In 2008, Los Angeles County Board of Supervisor Gloria Molina advised Councilman Huizar to act on the information cited in her letter. As of October 6, 2010, what has transpired since 2008 when State Senator Gloria Romero reported some 50 Sex Offenders in El Sereno? Well the number is now 67 Sex Offenders.

Simply, nearly one out of every ten sex offenders under LAPD supervision, is relocated within the 90032 zip code, the most by far in the LAPD area of responsibility. For many, this has become the breaking point as they are angry that their community, is being illegally burdened with a disapportionate amount of sex offenders.

Thus, a rally is plan for November 13, 2010, to demand that those responsible for this illegal housing of sex offenders, be held accountable and terminated, that includes Region 3 Parole Chief Deputy Maria Franco.

..... and what will Councilman Huizar be doing that day? Having a prior-planned block party to celebrate the completion of the new Valley Blvd. Overpass. maybe he should change his priorities for that day?

Ass Clown Award for the month of July

Pondering your comments and the wealth of candidates within the local political community, this month's selection of Mayor Frank's creation has been an arduous task.

But what solidify this month's winner is something contain in the Constitution of the United States and what this month's Award winner is doing to counter the First Amendment.

Witness a recent "Townhall Meeting/Filibuster"where the overflow crowd was instructed to put all questions for this month's award winner on paper and as Elena Popp and one young man found out, your right to engage in something call "Free Speech" was met with a visit by "men in uniform", at least in the Soviet Union the KGB had a clothing budget!

With that, we name the "COUNCILMAN LAST SEEN SPEAKING AS JOSE HUIZAR" as the Ass Clown Award winner for the month of July.

Much was expected from the "COUNCILMAN LAST SEEN SPEAKING AS JOSE HUIZAR" when he was elected to the LAUSD School Board. He aligned himself with the like minded, moderated political establishment which best reflected the Latino community.

Yet somewhere along in the political evolution of the "COUNCILMAN LAST SEEN SPEAKING AS JOSE HUIZAR", the "worship of me" took sway from the "advocate of community". One can see "Huizar's Winter Wonderland" as an example of that.

Constituents and groups who run counter to the political directives and desires of the "COUNCILMAN LAST SEEN SPEAKING AS JOSE HUIZAR", are met with disdain and derision from a "revolving door of staffers" and operatives such as the "Southwest Society" , David Galaviz , the likes of Don Jones, with help from Latham and Watkins and Steve Sugerman.

Nor are any cultural or historical places and institutions in CD 14 beyond being sold to a perspective donor/ special interest. Witness the on-going and growing controversies involving Wyvernwood, the Southwest Museum, Elephant Hill, Hazard Park and Avery Park/Connector Road in El Sereno.

........in ending, practice your CD 14 Constitutional Right to "Cut and Paste" before the "cyber man in uniform" comes to cut you offline.
