The "Duh-nials of Nury Martinez" ......, to At-Home Party (with Gerry) Harassment Claims against Raul Bocanegra

Are the "Duh-nials of Nury Martinez" regarding the, NOW multiple allegations of Sexual Harassment/Inappropriate Conduct against fellow Northeast San Fernando Valley Democrat Machine Crony Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra ....., a Smoke Job to mask her (and Husband Gerry's) "At-Home Harassment Party Enabling"?

Blowing Smoke (to cover up nefarious conduct), Again?? CD-6 City Councilperson Nury Martinez.

** Blogger's Notes: Once Upon a Time, in recent City Hall Folklore (actually in reality), a certain City Councilwoman (the only one at the time) and staff, were engaging in some "Holiday Festivities ,with DJ, Dance Music, Flashing Lights and a Smoke Machine ........., that allegedly activated the City Hall Fire Alarm.(or was it the burner warming the Tamales, but we digress). Back to the present, many Northeast San Fernando Valley (and beyond) Political Observers "B.S. Smoke Job Detectors" are beeping LOUD as CD-6 City Councilwoman Nury Martinez attempts to blow a smoking cover regarding her (and husband Gerry Guzman's) role/knowledge of Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra nefarious conduct with Women. In recent weeks, the WIFE of Assemblyman Bocanegra's DISTRICT DIRECTOR (who also doubled as CAMPAIGN MANAGER) Gerry Guzman, has attempted to feign "DUH-nial" regarding her supposed lack-of knowledge (LOL!!), of fellow Machine Mate's reprehensible behavior ....... But, that was before yesterday's LA Times Exclusive that DETAILED the additional accusations of SIX WOMEN targeting Assemblyman Bocanegra's behavior in Sacramento ..........., and at the HOME of Gerry/Nury (with Daughter) Martinez. We excerpt pertinent passages below-----Scott Johnson

39th Assembly District (AD) Officeholder Raul Bocanegra has announced the termination of his Re-election Efforts, in lieu of a Los Angeles Times Exclusive on another Six Women, with accusations of Sexual Harassment/Inappropriate Conduct directed at the soon-to-be Ex. Assemblyman. 

The vacating 39th AD Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra.

** Blogger's Notes: In Breaking News (with NO apologies to CD-6 City Council person Nury "The Denier" Martinez), 39th AD Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra announced this morning, the TERMINATION of his re-election efforts ........., and timing will be of paramount interest to many. 

Any chances that Councilperson Martinez's husband Gerry Guzman could garner some future supplemental campaign work from his Day Job Boss, went out the door in a Turkey Trot, ahead of a Los Angeles Time Exclusive which details an additional SIX WOMEN, targeting "Pervynegra" with allegations of Sexual Harassment/Inappropriate Conduct ........, and Councilperson Martinez may NOT be happy with what Gerry knew or not (allegedly).

In a Mayor Sam Exclusive, we pronounce CD-6 City Councilwoman Nury Mintinez's attempt to engage in a CYA Political Moment regarding the Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra Sexual Harassment Controversy ....., a BIG FAIL, considering her (along with husband Gerry Guzman) questionable use of City Staff to allegedly influence the 39th Assembly District Ballot Count for the DOCUMENTED Harasser in 2015.

** Blogger's Notes: In a Mayor Sam Exclusive, we promptly declare CD-6 City Councilwoman Nury Martinez's choreographed CYA Political Con of feigning ignorance regarding the DOCUMENTED Sexual Harassment past of Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra ........, a big FAIL.

Mayor Sam's First EXCLUSIVE Female Politico HOT Briefs for Monday

With an alleged, certain OVERHEATED, coughing Female Democratic Presidential Candidate (on a breezy 75 degree day in New York City), as our inspiration, we PROUDLY proclaim our bloggin Gender Equality/Neutrality, in presenting thee first EXCLUSIVE, Female Politico Hot Briefs (noting the questionable political follies of our Sisters of Interest) for Monday. \

** Blogger's Disclaimer: The following is simply a bloggin exercise in granting equal access to ALL sub-groups of crony Politicos within the Los Angeles Political Machine .........., to our sardonic, discerning brand of political commentary. Unlike some within the Northeast San Fernando Valley Democratic Machine (especially Rosemary Jenkins), we endorse the right of ALL woman (including Immigrants such as Assemblywoman Patty Lopez) to seek (or retain) Political Office ........, and reserve the ability to deconstruct the political motives of those, who become mere tools of an increasingly, crony-exclusive Political Machine, as noted below----Scott Johnson.   

CD 6 City Councilwoman Nury Martinez celebrate (Democratic) Women Equality Day with fellow Northeast San Fernando Valley Political Sisters Monica Rodriguez and Wendy Greuel.

** Any objective, discerning political observer (and inspiring Political Candidate) in the Northeast San Fernando Valley (NSFV), should be able to ascertain the growing backlash against a Political Machine, that is currently under Federal Investigation, which may have prompted CD 7 City Councilman Felipe Fuentes to move up his "Council Resignation to Lobbyist Riches Date". That stated, we must STRONGLY question why former Board of Public Works Vice-President, turn CD 7 City Council Candidate Monica Rodriguez, would embrace the endorsement of the likes of  NSFV Machine Member CD 6 City Councilwoman Nury Martinez? From Rodriguez Campaign Website. 

“Councilwoman Nury Martinez has been an outstanding leader and I look forward to collaborating on the Council to advocate for our Northeast Valley districts.  As the only elected woman out of eighteen elected officials at City Hall, Councilwoman Martinez has been a champion not only for her district, but for families and children throughout the City,” said Monica Rodriguez.  “Our campaign is stronger thanks to Councilwoman Martinez’s support, and I look forward to joining her on the Council, advocating for the Northeast Valley’s fair share and putting our residents and families first.”

Maybe Nury can teach Monica the Campaign Money Laundry Practice of having Staffers hand out $20, $10 and $5 Dollar Bills to Family Members ........, for Public-financed Matching Funds Contributions?

Hola Familia!! Do You have a Spare Five, Ten or Twenty Spot for the Nury in CD 6 Campaign?

As the FBI/Federal Grand Jury continue their investigation of the Campaign Practices involving the imploding, Northeast San Fernando Valley Political Machine, the LA Times continues its reporting on the alleged "200 $5, $10 or $20 Donations for ($65,360 in) Matching Fund Scheme" via the 2015 Nury Martinez for CD 6 City Council Campaign.   

Nury thought the Feds said she wasn't a "Person of Interest (allegedly)".

** Blogger's Note: Hola and great post Easter Day to all within our Cyber Familia, as many benefit today from the scheduling of the City of Los Angeles Observance of Cesar Chavez Day. Its safe to say that today's observance of the noted anti-Illegal Immigrant Farm Work Organizer, could not have come at a better time for CD 6 City Councilwoman Nury Martinez and STAFF, who's past "Volunteer Efforts"in the 2015 CD 6 Campaign, to solicit In District, Small Donations (for Public, Campaign Matching Funds), is continuing to garner "Formal FBI/Federal Grand Jury Scrutiny). As LA Times David Zahniser reports in the latest installment on his coverage of Mrs. Gerry Guzman's Fundraising Controversy, family members of the CD 6 Officeholder's Lower Lever Staff, were generous with their spare Five, Ten and Twenty Dollar Bills ..........., that netted $65,360 in Public Matching Funds.

Seven weeks before L.A.'s 2015 municipal election, political aide Caesar Huerta was on the hunt for campaign donations. His boss, City Councilwoman Nury Martinez, needed contributions from 200 of her constituents to make her campaign eligible for up to $100,000 in taxpayer funds. Huerta, a field deputy, turned to aunts, uncles, cousins and others in his immediate circle, asking for as little as $5, according to several members of his extended family. Since then, Huerta and at least eight of his relatives have been questioned by FBI agents, called to appear before a federal grand jury, or both, family members told The Times.

For those of us CD 14 Natives, staffers roles in re-election campaigns, comes as an afterthought, considering that the current Princeton Graduate Officeholder initiates policy directives based upon the loyalty to him, of Special Interests and Constituents. But then unlike CD 14, Councilwoman Martinez does not have a CLARTS Amenities Fund, to supplement Staffer salaries. Thus, their loyalty can only be ensured to a ambiguous, legal tipping point, especially when familia gets involved .........., or Subpoenaed to appear before a Federal Grand Jury----Scott Johnson in CD 14.    

Did Political Smoke obscure the TRUE origin of In District, Small Donations (allegedly)? 

For a Five, Ten or Twenty Spot, you can stand with Nury (allegedly).

CD 6 City Councilwoman Nury Martinez 2015 FY General City Purposes Fund Report

 In a Mayor Sam Blog Endeavor supporting Openness and Transparency, we post the 2015 Fiscal Year CD 6 General City Purposes Fund Report, which showcases which connected, Community Based Organizations received Discretionary Allocations from its re-election-seeking (and now Federal Grand Jury investigated) City Councilwoman Nury Martinez.

CD 6 City Councilwoman Nury Martinez and Consulting First Husband Gerry Guzman.

** Blogger's Note: In a bloggin endeavor supporting Openness and Transparency, we have replicated below for your review, the 2015 FY CD 6 General City Purposes Fund Report, Every year, the City Clerk Office releases a report that discloses how each of the Fifteen City Councilpersons dispenses Discretionary Funds allocated in the General City Purposes Fund. For the record, this report is not the "tell all documentation" on how each dollar is spent, since there are multiple accounts that each Officeholder can use to buy votes, whoops, grant positive community amenities. Starting today, we will highlight certain Council Districts allocations, especially one which has garnered recent media attention for nefarious Campaign Contributions (ie. money laundering). Thus, its only natural that we begin our bloggin Public Service in disclosing which connected CD 6 CBOs were blessed with fiscal love, especially before its most recent election cycle, which saw Councilwoman Martinez beat back a challenge from Cindy Montanez. IF you have any comments ...., or salient observations, feel free to post them on our Facebook Page, or email me at redspotincd14@yahoo.com----Scott Johnson.

Noting another Implosion in the Northeast San Fernando Valley Democratic Political Machine

The Northeast San Fernando Valley Democrat Political Machine is the epicenter for another Ethical and Legal Implosion as the Los Angeles Times discloses incriminating evidence of False Donations made in the name of CD 6 Voters by the 2015 Nury Martinez for City Council Campaign.

What did Nury know about an alleged scheme to defraud the Taxpayers, via bogus Campaign Contributions?

** Blogger's Note: Its amazing what can grow out of a gathering of Northeast San Fernando Valley Democrat Political Machine Staffers, at a 2014 39th Assembly District Campaign Ballot Count.

From Official Notification in the Congressional Record, through numerous Subpoenas of CD 6 and CD 7 Staffers, then a sudden announcement from an ambitions First Term City Councilman Felipe Fuentes, that he would not seek a Second Term and now the latest regarding questionable, small donations to the 2015 Nury Martinez for City Council Campaign ........, can we presume that something scandalous is being exposed via a FBI/Federal Grand Jury Investigation.

The latest implosion regarding the alleged washing of money into small CD 6 Constituent-based contributions to garner the maximum amount of public Matching Funds, has the characteristics of an organized attempt to circumvent new Ethics Commission requirements that City Council Campaigns must document "Grass Roots Support" by gathering 200 $5-10 Donations to qualified for taxpayers Matching Funds.

Discerning observers can extrapolate via the Times detailed report, that someone within the Northeast San Fernando Valley Machine, has been giving the FBI/Federal Grand Jury Investigation, a GPS concise road map on the financial manipulations, orchestrated to circumvent Ethics Commission/FPPC Rules.

If there is any person who can speak regarding the fiscal practices of the five-headed Northeast Political Cabal, it would be the husband of CD 6 City Councilwoman Nury Martinez, Consultant Gerry Guzman. We can only speculate whether the architect of the 2014, now former Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra Campaign's collapse, has been formally summon to answer questions under oath, but we can gather that no formal resolution to this even-expanding investigation, would not be complete, without testimony from the Husband of Nury----Scott Johnson.

Afternoon Briefs on the Imploding Northeast San Fernando Valley Political Machine for Monday

Was the recent withdrawal of CD 6 City Councilwoman Nury Martinez Staffer Jim Dantona from the 27th State Senate District Campaign, a telling, fore-shock to last Friday's major Northeast San Fernando Valley-centered Political Earthquake, that was CD 7 City Councilman Felipe Fuente's decision not to seek re-election in 2017?

The Northeast San Fernando Valley Political Machine (before its implosion).

** Blogger's Note: Great Monday (after Friday's Political Earthquake) to everyone, especially to those in our cyber home base of  CD 7's Sunland-Tujunga, where the political aftershocks of CD 7 City Councilman Felipe Fuentes surprise "political machine-fracturing" announcement of his intentions NOT to seek a Second Term, are still shaking the political landscape.

The political aftershocks of Councilman Fuentes announcement are taking the forms of community meetings, candidate speculation and running dialog on Social Media, as a Northeast SFV Community (and beyond) attempts to find the exact epicenter that prompted Fuentes decision.

This major Political Earthquake, like those that happen naturally may of been preceded by (or could be) a smaller, but telling foreshock. This could be exampled by the late November decision by CD 6 City Councilwoman Staffer Jim Dantona, to withdrawal from the 27th State Senate District Campaign to replace Senator Fran Pavley.

Dantona's decision to forgo the 27th State Senate Campaign, came after the October, 2015 Report that fellow Staff Members of Councilwoman Martinez staff were subpoenaed to appear before a Federal Grand Jury, investigating undisclosed issues involving staffs from Congressman Tony Cardenas, and those from CD 6 ......., and now CD 7.

In Friday's Times report, it was disclosed that Councilman Fuentes Staffer (and Aunt) Yolanda Fuentes Miranda, was subpoenaed in December, to appear before the Federal Grand Jury. Records show that she was present at the now infamous 2014 39th Assembly District Campaign Ballot Count in Norwalk.

CD 7 Staffer Yolanda Fuentes Miranda (above) and 39th AD Ballot Count Observer Sign In Document.

In discussion with various, discerning Northeast San Fernando Valley political observers, almost everyone finds it hard to believe that CD 7 Councilman Fuentes would walk away from an almost certain, secured Second Term on the City Council, 

While it WAS true that Councilman Fuentes was going to face a challenge for re-election (for very valid reasons), his power of being the incumbent Officeholder (with the NESFV Machine fiscal resources), presented a formidable obstacle to overcome. 

But the reality is for now, that Fuentes Political Ground Shaker is bound to change the CD 7 Landscape ........., and maybe beyond, if it leads to a bigger political shakeup (or Political Machine Implosion).
