Hot Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Income Confiscation Day, 2019

As a Bloggin Public Service to Northeast CD-14 Motorists, we bring you this Traffic Advisory regarding the repeated movements of the Kevin Alexander (of or de) Leon Domiciling Mobile Couch through the neighborhoods of Highland Park and Eagle Rock.

The K.A. (of or de) Leon Mobile Couch (with CD-14 Map).

Longtime (and tired) K.A. (of or de) Leon Moving Service of Choice.

** Blogger's Notes: Residences of the Northeast LA Neighborhoods of Highland Park and Eagle Rock should take notice of the repeated movements involving the Domiciling Mobile Couch (and trailing moving burro) belonging to former Calizuela State Senate Presidente Kevin Alexander (of or de) Leon the First ..........., now merely a 2020 CD-14 City Council Candidate (with Carpetbag).

According to sources, the Domiciling Mobile Couch has been splitting time between residences on Ridge View in Highland Park and near Occidental College. In the past, a stationary couch (with a view from the heights of Mt. Washington) was used by the then Assembly Candidate (with Carpetbag), but is not option for the mobile version due to its location being redrawn into CD-1 in 2012.

Unlike Gloria Molina (in 2015) and Rudy Martinez (in 2011), the former housemate of former Pervycrat State Senator Tony Mendoza, is attempting to establish domicile on the cheap for his announced 2020 CD-14 City Council Campaign .........., reminding longtime political observers of South Pasadena-residing Victor Griego's failed 1999 Campaign.

A Broken Deal Cedillo Lincoln Heights Morning Coffee ............. for the favorite Few?

BASTA!! CD-1 City Councilman Gil "Broken Deal Cedillo" was caught again doing what he those best which is ignoring his constituents ........., in favor of alleged, chosen communal vendidos y vendidas. 

Northeast LA Activists were quick in disclosing an exclusive outing last week in Lincoln Heights involving the former terminated Union Leader and chosen Neighborhood Council Members, including longtime supporter (and disgraced ex LAUSD Employee) Vera Padilla.

Of interest to Lincoln Heights opponents of the proposed, scandalous Measure HHH-financed Parking Lot Developments (for non-homeless populations), was the presence of LHNC Parking Lots Development Ad-Hoc Committee Chairperson Richard Larson, who has been allegedly positive in his comments regarding the project .......... which may be why he was accorded an invitation?-----Scott Johnson. 

Members of the Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Council (Vera Padilla, Tamika Flowers and Richard Larson) at private Morning Coffee with CD-1 City Councilman Gil "Broken Deal Cedillo".

Was LHNC Member Richard Larson invitation to Broken Deal Cedillo's Morning Coffee predicated on his POSITIVE reviews of the proposed Measure HHH Lincoln Heights Parking Lots Development?

Lincoln Heights UNITED Against CD-1 Clowncilman Broken Deal Cedillo's (and Mayor Garcetti's) Housing Scheme

A capacity-plus crowd at last Thursday's (1-18-18) monthly meeting of the Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Council, expressed UNITY IN OPPOSITION to CD-1 City Clowncilman Gil "Broken Deal Cedillo's (and Mayor Eric "Yoga Pants" Garcetti's) SCHEME to scandalously-misuse Measure HHH Bond Money, for non Homeless-related Services/Housing, on a proposed FIVE (Parking) Lots Development in Lincoln Heights.

CD1 City Clowncilman Broken Deal Cedillo: "Hey Gabacho Mayor Yoga Pants, how much Measure HHH Bond Money can I MISAPPROPRIATE (notice rising hand) for non Homeless Housing/Services in Lincoln Heights"?  

** Blogger's Notes: A Ciudad de Los Angeles Political Promises Flashback ............., in 2006, Angelinos had just elected a "Pop Star Mayor (who later was bestowed the dubious distinction of being a "Failure Mayor", but I digress)", who PROMISED to add 1,000 more LAPD Officers, in return for raising your Trash Fees ........ and the reality?

Fast forwarding to 2016, a Presidential-aspiring New Age (with Yoga Pants) Mayor, is successful in garnering an impressive 76% of the vote to pass Measure HHH, which would add an assessment to Property Taxes in the City of Los Angeles to finance Homeless Housing and Supported Services.

From Curbed Los Angeles;

“We understand that homelessness in L.A. will not be solved overnight,” he said. “But by passing Proposition HHH, the people of this city put us on a real path to getting thousands of our most vulnerable residents off the streets and into housing for good.”

........, and the reality? View the Videos below from last Thursday's Meeting of the Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Council where a Scandal was exposed ........., and OPPOSED by Lincoln Heights Community.

As witnessed by a capacity-plus audience, Mayor Garcetti's Measure HHH Facade would adversely affect the Lincoln Heights Business Community via the removal of FIVE Public Parking Lots, that would be replace with "Mixed-Housing (notice non-mention of any type of Homeless Housing or Services), as noted local Journalist Patrick Range McDonald reported;

City officials are currently sorting through the proposals for projects that will make up the AHOS program. With complete certainty, permanent supportive housing will not be built at every city-owned property — five sites in Lincoln Heights, which is represented by Councilman Gil Cedillo, have already been designated for “mixed-income” housing. As a result, the city’s use of Measure HHH money for the AHOS program will not go entirely to homeless housing, and homeless men, women, and children will not receive the full amount of housing and services that Mayor Eric Garcetti and the City Council had promised. Instead, an affluent professional, the only person who can afford market-rate housing in L.A., may land a nice pad on city-owned property in increasingly gentrified Lincoln Heights or near the beach on the Westside. It’s the very definition of a scandal.

Another Broken Deal Cedillo (in support of Mayor Eric Garcetti) Scandalous Moment-----Scott Johnson.

Mayor Sam Exclusive: "Liar, Liar, Broken Deal Cedillo's Pants on Fire (the 2018 Sequel)".

COMMUNITY ACTION ALERT!! The re-elected CD-1 City Clowncil Central Committee Member Gil "BROKEN DEAL CEDILLO" is reneging on his previous pledge (again) to, NOT place FIVE Homeless Housing Developments in Lincoln Heights (soon to be "Skid Row Northeast"), prompting a communal Backlash.

CD-1 Clowncilman Gil "Broken Deal Cedillo" scheming (AGAIN) to to Lincoln Heights into "Skid Row Northeast". 

** Blogger's Notes: In a Mayor Sam Exclusive, we have learned that CD-1 City Clowncil Central Committee Member Gil "Broken Deal Cedillo" is reneging on a pledge to remove from consideration, the use of FIVE city-owned Parking Lots in Lincoln Heights, for Homeless Supportive Housing Developments as provided for in Measure HHH. The Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Council in a flyer pictured below, has taken the re-elected Clowncil Member to task for REMOVING THE HOLD on developing the Parking Lots during the Christmas/New Year Holidays period, WITHOUT community input. Further, we have been made aware of comments via Clowncilman Broken Deal Cedillo Chief of Staff Arturo Chavez that the proposed Developments where a DONE DEAL (regardless of community concerns). With respects to Chief of Staff Chavez and his Deal-breaking Boss, they may want to revisit local history (think BATTLE against the Boyle Heights Prison), to comprehend how the ramifications his dismissal of communal input (while taking care of MEGA Trump Donor Geoff Palmer) ........., EMPOWERS constituents to demand respect and justice from their DEAL BREAKING Officeholder-----Scott Johnson.

SUPPORT the Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Council in holding "Broken Deal Cedillo" accountable for his repeated DISDAIN for Openness and Community Imput.

Did Clowncilman Broken Deal Cedillo Chief of Staff Arturo Chavez state that the proposed "Skid Row Northeast Developments" were a Done Deal (without community input)?

MLK Day Briefs on the Character (deprived?) Los Angeles (and beyond) Political Machine

On this Day that we honor the Legacy of Civil Rights Icon Martin Luther King Jr. the Mayor Sam Blog continues its tradition (actually daily endeavor) to NOT judge the operatives of our local Political Machine, based upon their Skin Color, but instead, document Acts of Policy Character (or lack of). 

Wonder if MLK would favor Character/Merit-based Immigration, but I digress?

** Blogger's Notes: We want to wish everyone a great, MLK Day of Character Refection. To paraphrase the timeless vision of the Civil Rights Icon ........, "Today, like yesterday and tomorrow, politicos and enabling entities WILL NOT be judged by their ethnicity, but by the character content of their actions". That stated, we want to give bloggin witness to our cyber audience in continuing to expose (below) those in need of a CHARACTER INTERVENTION, but also COMMEND those (in a separate Blog Post later today), who's talk of Character .........., is matched by ACTION-----Scott Johnson.

** To paraphrase noted American Social Commentator Forrest Gump (in fitting with the CD-1 Communal Culture) ......., "STUPIDO IS as STUPIDO DOES (especially if STUPIDO is also known as Broken Deal Cedillo)". The Act of Breaking Deals, Reneging on your Word (or SIGNED Letter as pictured above)), is second-nature to the Re-elected CD-1-representing City Clowncil Central Committee Member as ANGRY Lincoln Heights Community Members are witnessing.

** There was once a time in Los Angeles Journalistic History when the shouts of the Paper Boy pronouncing "EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about it", merited a prompt response to indulge in the latest EXCLUSIVE missive ........., based upon objective facts. But decades later, the Paper Boy has been replaced with an App on your Cell Phone, that acts as a Propaganda Dispenser of "STUFF" too good to be true ........, from a certain "Old Gray Collectivist Resister on Spring Street". Indeed, the State of local Journalism, is devolving into a One Political Party Regurgitation of Anti-Trump/Republican Disinformation, that serves as a cover for the GROWING corruption, via the CADEM Establishment/Special Interest United Machine, which controls "Cubafornia on the Pacific". But for those who STILL espouse to practice the craft of Reporting, based upon Who, What, Where, When, How and Why (without bias or shakedown for Public Funds), we present The View's Megyn McCain's Tutorial on deconstructing a Journalistic Fraud. Remember Character COUNTS-----Scott Johnson.   

Off the Record, NAUGHT when engaging in Agenda Journalism.

Ask A Blogger: Did OC Weekly's Gustavo Arrellano Keyboard the CLASSIC Retort against Petty Political Attacks (by the "Broken Deal Cedillo Campaign")?

A factually-challenged LA Times Report (via an alleged EDITED Copy of an OC Weekly "Ask A Mexican Video") of a supposed, racially-insensitive comment by CD 1 City Council Runoff Candidate Joe Bray-Ali (in 2008) ..........., is the apparent motivation for a CLASSIC Retort by the respected OC Weekly's Editor Gustavo Arellano, regarding the latest racially-tinged Personal Attack by the Gil Cedillo Campaign.

Special Note to LA Times Reporter Dakota Smith and Editors ......... BIG DIFFERENCE between 13 and 97 seconds (1:37), regarding the "Ask A Mexican Video", featuring Joe Bray-Ali's, NOW infamous "Car Horn/Door Bell Question". 

"Broken Deal Cedillo" is pondering Political Sanctuary Options after his latest racially-tinged Personal Attack against Joe Bray-Ali ........,is denounced by OC Weekly Editor Gustavo "Ask A Mexican" Arellano. 

** Blogger's Notes: We keyboard this observation yesterday regarding CD 1 City Councilman Gil Cedillo Re-election Campaign .........., Its only Hump Day Wednesday before Noon and for the increasingly reviled CD1 City Councilman Gil Cedillo Re-election Campaign, the week following Easter is trending in a downward spiral with no apparent bottom ........, and today, it has exited the Earth via the South Pole.

Bluntly, Team Cedillo knows NO SHAME as its latest attempt to smear Runoff Challenger Joe Bray-Ali as a lying, gentrifying, racist, former Republican .........., BACKFIRED big time (with help of a factually-challenged LA Times Report), as a NOW repudiated Personal Attack, was no match for a CLASSIC RETORT via "Ask A Mexican Feature Creator (and current OC Weekly Editor) Gusatvo Arellano. 

FIRST,  Arellano's SURPRISE reaction to one of his "Ask A Mexican VIdeo" becoming the subject of the latest Petty Personal Attack in the CD 1 Runoff Campaign.

So imagine my surprise this morning when radio legend Tom Leykis tagged me on Facebook with a "Now look what you did!" and a link to a Los Angeles Times article that appeared last night. It appears that one Joe Bray-Ali, who's running against legendary Chicano politician (and current Los Angeles City Council District 1 representative Gil Cedillo), has apologized because he submitted a question to my YouTube ¡Ask a Mexican! in 2008. Then, he asked why Mexicans like to use car horns as doorbells. Bray-Ali's problem, at the time, was that they woke up his baby daughter, which he used as a prop in the video to score cheap sympathy points with me (it didn't work). Roll the tape (posted above)! Man, I miss that flowery shirt..

FURTHER ............, 

Cedillo's team—caught by surprise that they couldn't get Gil a win in the primary, and who now must actually work to ensure he wins the upcoming runoff—sent a version (an edited 13 seconds copy according to the LA Times Dakota Smith) of the video to reporters after a supporter yelled at Bray-Ali "Go back to India!" during a debate earlier this week. “Joe apologizes,” a Bray-Ali spokesperson told Times reporter Dakota Smith. “He says the comment was stupid and it’s amazing how social media can remind of the mistakes of youth. This was nine years ago.”

SOME LAST BACKGROUND AND .............,

On Facebook, Cedillo's supporters (including the likes of USC's David Galaviz Martha Escutia and other assorted Race-mongers) are trying to use Bray-Ali's question as proof he's racist, ridiculing his spokesperson's assertion to the Times that George Lopez has made jokes about Mexicans as car horns. Bray-Ali, for his part, told one of my pals on Facebook that the reason he did the video way back when was because he's a fan of mine, but "Sucks I had an urge to make a video like this." 

BOMBS AWAY ON ALL!!

Team Cedillo must be HATING, being in the Target Zone.

Fuck Smith for not doing her research and realizing that Bray-Ali's question was directed at me—that dramatically changes the dynamics of the story. Fuck Cedillo's team for responding to a racial taunt by one of his supporters by sending reporters the question to turn the tables on Bray-Ali (Cedillo, for his part, denounced the nastiness, although one of his fans is now leaving anti-Indian comments on my clip). Fuck Cedillo's supporters for not allowing Bray-Ali to ask a legitimate question about Mexicans to a column set up for that. Fuck any Cedillo supporters who think the very act of engaging with ¡Ask a Mexican! is racist—Gil sure didn't think so when he was a member of the Latino Legislative Caucus in 2008 when they awarded me with a Latino Spirit Award for what they said was my "exceptional vision, creativity, and work ethic."

BUT TO BE OBJECTIVE ............,  

Fuck Bray-Ali's supporters for trying to drag in former state senator Martha Escutia (we respectfully disagree) into the "Go back to India!" debacle. Fuck Bray-Ali's brother for sending me a Facebook message that got sent to that filtered folder bullshit—my email's pretty easy to find, bruh. Fuck Bray-Ali for apologizing and taking back his question—implies what you did was wrong, which it wasn't. With fans like you, who needs enemies?

LASTLY, A SALIENT OBSERVATION ..........., 

Everyone involved: don't use my column for your pathetic needs. Take a deep breath, and concentrate on issues that matter in District 1, like housing affordability and the fact that gentrified* Highland Park is overrated 

A DEFINING CAMPAIGN MOMENT?? A CLASSIC ONE INDEED----S.J.  

Morning Briefs on the Broken Deal Cedillo Corruption Machine for Wednesday

In lieu of the latest Racially-ting Attack ("Go back to India") directed at CD-1 City Council Candidate Joe Bray-Ali via an alleged Councilman Gil Cedillo Supporter, the Mayor Sam Blog presents a Bloggin Deconstructing of the CD 1 Career Politico's Hypocrisy and numerous Betrayals of the Community Trust. 

F%$#!! Our racially-ting, factually-lacking and Developers-financed Campaign exposed (again).

** Blogger's Notes: Its only Hump Day Wednesday before Noon and for the increasingly reviled CD1 City Councilman Gil Cedillo Re-election Campaign, the week following Easter is trending in a downward spiral with no apparent bottom.

First, surrogates of the Cedillo Campaign pushed a supposed expose on a "law-breaking, backroom deal (pictured below)" between Runoff Challenger Joe Bray-Ali and former Candidate Jesse Rosas that outlines conditions for Rosas Runoff Endorsement of Bray-Ali. 

"The Contract with Northeast LA CD-1 Constituents"

For a FLEETING MOMENT, we thought that the CD-1 Incumbent had converted to the "Political Religion of Openness and Transparency (NAUGHT!!)".But in reviewing what we have coined the SIGNED, "Contract with Northeast LA, CD-1 Constituents", this is a non controversy ..........., unlike the excerpt from the FBI Affidavit pertaining to a proposed "STAE JOB FOR SUPPORT BACKROOM DEAL" between "El State Senate Presidente Pro Tempore K. Alexander Leon the First" and Indicted/Convicted, former State Senator (and BOSS of Gil Cedillo Jr., more later) Ron Calderon (pictured below for your review). Can you say HYPOCRISY??

BIG HUG for Cedillo from Indicted/Convicted former State Senator Ron Calderon who NEVER benefited from a proposed "State Job for Support Deal" as noted tn the above excerpt from a FBI Affidavit.

Second, the racially-ting campaign rhetoric via the Cedillo Campaign was exposed again at a ROWDY Campaign Debate in Pico Union on Monday Night, as reported by KPCC.

Although the evening focused on housing issues, a jarring moment brought a loud crowd reaction when a member of the audience shouted at Bray-Ali to "go back to India.".

Its no secret that the audiences at CD 1 Candidate Forums/Debates have been UBER exuberant in expressing their support for the candidate of choice, but in recent weeks since the March Election, the racially-tinged attacks against Challenger Bray-Ali have become more pronounced.

Third, former LA Weekly Political Writer Patrick Range McDonald EXPOSED Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and the City Council (including "Broken Deal Cedillo") for REDIRECTING FUNDS from Measure HHH which was to EXCLUSIVELY FUND Homeless Housing.

But only weeks after Measure HHH was approved on November 8, the betrayal of the homeless — and LA voters — was well underway at the hands of Garcetti, the City Council (including "Broken Deal Cedillo"), and the City Administrative Officer. In December 2016, the City Council approved the final details of the AHOS program, which was organized by the City Administrative Officer with much input from the City Council and mayor. It had turned into something startlingly different from what City Hall politicians had been promising — and what the LA Times had been describing. The City Administrative Officer recommended, and the City Council approved, an AHOS program that now offered “affordable multifamily housing,” “mixed-income housing,” “affordable homeownership,” “innovative methods of housing,” and, finally, “permanent supportive housing” for the homeless.

We previously noted how "Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire Cedillo" LIED to the Lincoln Heights Community ..........., only to be OUTED for fronting a October, 2016 Press Conference denouncing the alleged ramifications of the Neighborhood Integrity Initiative/Measure S Passage on Measure HHH Homeless Developments.

  "Broken Deal Cedillo's" Infamous Lincoln Heights Parking Lot Press Conference in October, 2016.

But instead, the reality is ............,

City officials are currently sorting through the proposals for projects that will make up the AHOS program. With complete certainty, permanent supportive housing will not be built at every city-owned property — five sites in Lincoln Heights, which is represented by Councilman Gil Cedillo, have already been designated for “mixed-income” housing. As a result, the city’s use of Measure HHH money for the AHOS program will not go entirely to homeless housing, and homeless men, women, and children will not receive the full amount of housing and services that Mayor Eric Garcetti and the City Council had promised. Instead, an affluent professional, the only person who can afford market-rate housing in L.A., may land a nice pad on city-owned property in increasingly gentrified Lincoln Heights or near the beach on the Westside. It’s the very definition of a scandal.

........., meriting in NAUGHT granting "Broken Deal Cedillo" a Second Term----Scott Johnson.

A CD-1 Election Pause (?) Update

We are on "CD 1 Election Pause (?) Watch" as representatives of Incumbent Councilman Gil "Broken Deal Cedillo", challenger Joe Bray-Ali and other observers converge on the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder Office in Norwalk, to WITNESS the count of unprocessed Absentee, Provisional and WRITE-IN Ballots, that may result in a campaign-continuing, May Runoff.   

Will discerning CD-1 Observers uncover potential Voter Fraud meriting a Formal Investigation? 

** Blogger's Notes: We are on blogging, CD 1 Election Pause (?) Watch as the count of unprocessed Absentee, Provisional and WRITE-IN Ballots commenced this morning at the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder Election Division Office in Norwalk. Currently, the Incumbent CD-1 City Councilman Gil "Broken Deal Cedillo" has an 123 Votes buffer preventing a May Runoff. That stated, the Campaign of challenger Joe Bray-Ali released the following Statement regarding the unprocessed ballots.

The final votes have not been counted in the race in #LACD1. The Clerk’s office still has provisional, vote by mail, and write-in ballots to count. When the final votes are counted by Friday it will be revealed a majority of the district have voiced their discontentment with our current representation. As we await the final tally of votes, I'll continue to reach out to voters, knock on doors, and engage the community.

Normally in close elections, late-arriving Absentee and Provisional Ballots are the focus the affected Campaigns that said, this election is unique because of the POTENTIAL impact of Approved, Write-In Candidate Luca Barton.

Barton in a phone conversation, is confident that he garnered 100-plus Votes and was going to be in attendance at this morning's process of ballots in Norwalk.

Meanwhile, the embattled Incumbent was NONE, too-graceful in his Election Night Comments as noted below.

“The people (less than 5,000 voters) of this district and this city stood up for themselves, they manifested their own future, they made a statement to the city they weren’t going to buy some flippant, trendy, hippy, hipster … agenda,” Cedillo said, in an obvious dig at Bray-Ali. “But they were going to be traditional, they were going to acknowledge their realities, they were going to respect their circumstances and they were going to vote for themselves.”

........, and a MAJORITY, may have responded CHALE CON CEDILLO!! More updates coming----Scott Johnson.

Will unprocessed Absentee, Provisional and WRITE-IN Ballots, help challenger Joe-Bray-Ali breech a 123 Votes Barrier to a May Runoff?

Was Prominent Downtown LA Commercial Realtor Adam Tischer (or vehicle) CAUGHT Removing CD 1 Candidate Joe-Bray-Ali Campaign Signs?

In LATE BREAKING CD 1 Campaign News, a vehicle caught on video earlier today, used in the removal of Joe Bray-Ali for City Council Signs, has been allegedly linked (via a Police Report) to City Councilman Gil "Broken Deal Cedillio" Max. Contributor ......... Collier International Real Estate Company Vice-President Adam Tischer.

Why does a prominent Real Estate Company Vice-President (Adam Tischer on right) allow (or use) his vehicle to remove Joe Bray-Ali for City Council Signage (allegedly)?

** Blogger's Note: Its desperation time in a City Council Campaign when a prominent Downtown LA Real Estate Company Vice-President Adam Tischer, uses ......., or allows his vehicle to become a part of a formal POLICE INVESTIGATION, regarding the illegal removal of Candidate Signage (allegedly)----Scott Johnson.

Mayor Sam Presents ......., the First Annual, "Broken Deal Cedillo Film Festival"

The Mayor Sam Blog PROUDLY presents the First Annual, "Broken Deal Cedillo Film Festival", chronicling the numerous breaches of promises, lack of outreach, and the general disdain exhibited by the Career Politico formerly known as "One Bill Gil (with a Dream)" towards his neglected CD 1 Constituents.  

Join CD 1 Clowncilman "Broken Deal Cedillo" and Convicted Voter Fraud Felon Larry "Nativo" Lopez as they share their Political Dinner Menu of "Cooking the Ballots (allegedly)". 

** Blogger's Notes: With Absentee Ballots arriving at the homes of Register Voters (alive, dead, or fraudulently created) within CD 1, now is the appropriate time to PROUDLY present the Mayor Sam Blog First Annual, "Broken Deal Cedillo Film Festival". The inspiration for the below cyber presentation is simple, the once "One Bill Gil (with a Dream)" has become a self-serving (the needs of his Developer Donors) Politico, who words/promises mean nothing (unless reciprocated with material gain, allegedly), We (or I) should be bloggin upfront in noting our past support of the Barstow Native, fours years previously ......, (please pardon the crow taste-inducing gagging reflex), but since then, the current Officeholder has become a mere tool/shill for the Establishment-sustaining Special Interests. That said, we hope you enjoy our cyber presentation, but MOST PARAMOUNT, vote to ensure that this Blog, need not have to post a Second Annual Edition of a "Re-elected, Broken Deal Cedillo Film Festival" in 2018 (necessitating another crow taste-inducing gagging reflex episode)-----Scott Johnson.

Mayor Sam Exclusive: Liar, Liar!! CD-1 Broken Deal Cedillo's Integrity on Fire ........., Again

In a Mayor Sam Exclusive, we expose again, an alleged "Act of Political Embellishment" via CD 1 City Councilman Gil "Broken Deal Cedillo" regarding the proposed construction of Affordable/Transitional Housing on FIVE city-owned lots in Lincoln Heights. 

CD 1 City Council Candidate Josef Bray-Ali (standing in suit on right side) counters the questionable assertions as presented by CD 1 Staffer Jose Rodriguez regarding Broken Deal Cedillo's HOLD on proposed Lincoln Heights Developments.

** Blogger's Notes: In a Mayor Sam Exclusive, we disclose, AGAIN another "Act of Political Embellishment" via Second Term-seeking CD 1 City Councilman Gil "Broken Deal Cedillo", regarding the proposed Affordable/Transitional Housing Developments on FIVE city-owned lots in Lincoln Heights. 

In response to a growing Lincoln Heights Community BACKLASH, CD 1 Staffer Jose Rodriguez read a letter from his MIA Boss during the January 19, 2017 Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Council Meeting, that feigned ignorance on the Developments ......, and allegedly, placed a "HOLD" on any construction, pending community input. 

Yet, in a rebuttal response by CD-1 City Council Candidate Josef Bray-Ali ......., and substantiated via a October 10, 2016 LA Streetblog Story, its VERY apparent that "Broken Deal Cedillo" was well-verse on the status of the pending/approved Developments. 

In a October 10, 2016 Press Conference, "Broken Deal Cedillo" spoke on behalf of the Coalition against the Neighborhood Integrity Initiative (ie. Measure S), that took place on one of the FIVE Lincoln Heights Lots that Staffer Rodriguez ALLEGES CD-1 did not know was/is is in process of being develop-----Scott Johnson.  

From LA Streetblog on October 10, 2016: "The Lincoln Heights parking lot where the press event took place is one of a dozen city-owned sites currently in the early stages of development for affordable and transitional housing under the Affordable Housing Opportunity Sites initiative. Twelve city-owned sites (with FIVE) in Lincoln Heights, Sylmar, San Pedro, and South and West L.A. are slated for affordable housing, with an emphasis on transitional housing to serve the homeless",

From Broken Deal Cedillo Letter (below) to Lincoln Heights Neighorhood Council on January 19,2017: "I had serious concerns about the lack of any meaningful community outreach or efforts to solicit community input into the design of the project and developer selection process. As a result, on December 14, i introduce a Council Motion to remove the FIVE parking lots from consideration.

Evening Briefs on Political Character (or lack of) for MLK Day

On this Day designated to honor the Legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. we emulate the Spirit of the late Civil Rights Icon, by judging select Politico's "Acts (or lack of) of Political Character": that are NAUGHT predicated on Racial Identity.

Just as Californians are being blessed this Rain Season, the Soul of America is better for being the Birth Country of MLK ......, and subsequent Life of Bridging Inequality (via countless episodes of selfless, acts of character). Indeed, 54 years after MLK's Landmark "I Have A Dream Speech", we firmly believe that America has become a more inclusive society (despite the recent pronouncements of a certain soulless Political Party) .........., and that CHARACTER still counts.

** The Questionable Neighborhood Commitment of Miguel Vargas: There was a time in American Society when stories of the "Local Kid, Done Good .... in Returning Home", was the norm. But in CD-14, when the Local Kid returns home after working for City Councilman Jose Huizar, commitment to the "Hood" becomes secondary to the still, "Political Papi's Wishes" ......, as exampled by LA-32 Neighborhood Council Vice-President Miguel Vargas. Vargas, who worked for Councilman Huizar, before being "blessed" with becoming the Executive Director of the Downtown Arts District "BID Zone", sought and was elected to the LA-32 NC via espousing his community ties (while conveniently deleting his professional background).

"Broken Deal Cedillo's" expenditures to his "Litigious Enablers".

** The Political Misadventures of Congressman Ted "Hamas Teddy" Lieu: There is TRULY something wrong with the Political Character of Westside LA Congressman Ted "Hamas Teddy" Lieu when he announces his intentions to Boycott President-Elect Donald Trump's Inauguration,, especially in lieu of his past REFUSAL to return an "Award" from the Hamas-linked, Council on Islamic American Relations (CAIR). We surmise that "Hamas Teddy's Boycott" will play (and PAY off) well with his Liberal Base .........., but in his convoluted-mind,  the Ruskies are Coming!!

Does "Congressman Hamas Teddy" CAIR more to be in the company of alleged, "Terrorist Enablers" than the incoming, President of the United States?
