The Morning After ........., Municipal Election Day, 2017 Notes

Its the MORNING AFTER another abysmal voter turnout for LA Municipal Election Day 2017 which saw $10 Million dollars in Special Interest Money defeat Measure S, Mayor Eric "Gar-SOFT-ee" garnering 80% support for a Second Term ..........,,, and CD 1 City Councilman Gil "50.9% Cedillo" awaits a FINAL count of outstanding ballots in seeking to avoid a May Runoff against Joe Bray-Ali. 

 Coming SOON to a SOLD OUT LA Neighborhood. 

** Blogger's Notes: DISCLAI-(YAWN!!)-MER ......... thanks to the LA County Register Record's Election Division SLOOOOOOOW count of the ballots last night, we attempt to multi-task our MORNING AFTER musings, in a SLEEP-DEPRIVED state. That said, its right to keyboard that an abysmal, small (11%) electorate (minus 49.1% of CD 1 voters) did the repeat bidding of the Establishment, in returning the current anointed incumbents to another Term of servicing the Special Interests and deny communal protection in rejecting Measure S. More details below throughout the day----Scott Johnson.

Its ....., LA MUNICIPAL ELECTION DAY 2017!! Zzzzzzz ......

Its Municipal Election Day 2017 as the City Hall Establishment (with Propaganda help from the LA Times) seeks to beat back needed Development/Planning Reform via "YES ON MEASURE S", with a certain "Second Term-seeking MIA Mayor Gar-SOFT-ee" hoping for a resounding Re-election Victory. ** Plus some Election endorsements (or not) on specific Races. 

A corrupting configuration threatens to engulf City Hall.  

Still missing ....... along with current Crime Stats.

** Blogger's Notes: Its a BEAUTIFUL morning to start LA Municipal Election Day 2017 ....., and well, does ANYONE care? In areas such as CD-9, CD-5, CD-7 ......, and especially CD-1, the rebellion against the 200 Spring Street Establishment, could likely continue on to a replay in May. Less likely, would be a Mayoral Campaign Runoff where Second Term-seeking Mayor Eric Gar-SOFT-ee (or was it a 2009 Tony Villar Replay?), was MIA in defending his RECORD (or lack of) in any of the Candidate Debates/Forums. BUT, by far the MOST important item on today's Ballot is Measure S, which the City Hall Establishment (and LA Times), has spent MEGA-money in defeating. As always, we implore EVERYONE register to vote (not by Larry "Nativo" Lopez) ......, to exercise their RIGHT to do so----Scott Johnson.

Notes on the Pre-Municipal Election 2017 Scorecard for Sunday

With two days before Tuesday's Los Angeles Municipal Elections, discerning CD-7 Observers (and Mayor Sam) are QUESTIONING embattled Candidate "Big Oil (and Gas) Monica" Rodriguez's veracity, regarding whether City Council (and supposed NEUTRAL CD-7 Caretaker)  President Herb "Mini Amin" Wesson formally ENDORSED her Campaign. ** Plus notes on "John/Jay Handal", Measure S, CD-5, CD-9, and the latest Mayor's Race Poll 

Los Angeles City Council President Herman "Mini Amin" Wesson.

** Blogger's Notes: With respects, and in remembrance of the late, great LA Times Sports Writer Allan "Mud" Malamud, its time for our "Notes on the Pre-Municipal Elections 2017 Scorecard" as 35 hours and 56 minutes (7:04 PM on Sunday evening) remains before the opening of Polling Places on Tuesday----Scott Johnson. 

** Did HE ......, or did HE not? That is the question directed at embattled CD-7 City Council Candidate Monica Rodriguez .......... and City Council President Herman "Mini Amin" Wesson regarding a supposed ENDORSEMENT of "BIG OIL (and GAS) Monica" by the current (and alleged Neutral) Caretaker of CD-7.

** Surveys says Mayor Eric Gar-SOFT-ee 50%, President Donald Trump 53%. Its true that Second Term-seeking MIA Mayor Gar-SOFT-ee, garnered ONLY 50% support of potential voters in a Loyola Marymount University Mayoral Election Poll (with close to 40% undecided) made public late last week ............. while President Donald J. Trump netted a 53% Approval Rating in the latest Rasmussen Survey. 

** Identical Political Twins (with the same ethically-challenged, UBER-ego persona): 

First, Jay Handal of the West Los Angeles Neighborhood Council and SHILL for the "NO on Measure S Campaign" who's ..............,

Morning Briefs on the March Elections Candidate Proceedings for Monday

As the City Clerk's Office continues its vetting of Candidates for the upcoming March, 2017 Municipal Elections, its readily apparent that the likes of CD 1 City Councilman Gil "Broken Deal Cedillo", CD 5 City Councilman Paul "Nanny Spud" Koretz, CD 9 City Councilman Curren Price and LAUSD School Board Member Monica "Gorda Boo Boo" Garcia ......., will HAVE serious re-election issues.

CD 1 City Councilman Gil "Broken Deal Cedillo".

** Blogger's Notes: Great Overcast Monday to all as the employees of the City Clerk's Office at Piper Tech continue their task of verifying candidates for the upcoming March, 2017 Municipal Elections. With surely, many CD-7 City Council Candidate approvals still outstanding (along with long shot mayoral aspirants), we partake below in a bloggin review on the pending campaigns for the likes of CD 1, CD 5, CD 9 and a certain LAUSD School Board District Two Seat, that may defy conventional wisdom via a growing anti-establishment backlash (and racial identity issues)-----Scott Johnson.

CD 1 City Council Seat: Judging from the photo above, CD 1 City Councilman Gil "Broken Deal Cedillo" may be hesitating in already picking himself as the winner for another term ........, with good reason as his moniker denotes. Compare to four years ago, many community activists who supported the Career Politico, are creating a Grass-Roots buzz for challengers Jesse Rosas, and Cycling Activist Jozef Bray-Ali, that a local journalist compared to the successful Joe Buscaino Campaign in CD 15.

CD 5 City Council Seat: Challenger Jesse Creed has raised six-figures and secured high profile endorsements from the likes of former City Controller Laura Chick, as he attempts to exploits the negative political sentiments directed at the reigning "Nanny Spud" of the City Clowncil Central Committee.

CD 9 City Councilman Seat: This may be a long shot, but don't dismiss the Campaign of Homegrown Community Activist Jorge Nuno as an Act of Political Vanity ........., for the simple, demographic fact, that CD 9 is a majority Latino enclave (thanks to Herb Wesson). This fact (and the challenge via Candidate Nuno), may have been the reason for Councilman Price's (and Buscaino) City Council Measure to "legalize" Street Vending. 

LAUSD School Board District Two: Have the Charter School-despising, UTLA-supporting advocates of Public Education found the ideal, Home Grown Candidate (in longtime educator Lisa Alva), to take out the aspiring "Mexican Oprah (and Controversial Charter School-financed, mega-shill)" known to the local cyber sphere as "Gorda Boo Boo"? We think so. 

 

The aspiring "Mexican Oprah".
