Honoring THOSE who Truthfully Commented on a VERY Public Display of Abusive Conduct against a Female in the Political Workplace

 As true Women of Character, locally and nationally, confront the Predators from their abusive past, we remember THOSE who truthfully-commented on an infamous 2009 Public Act of Inappropriate Conduct directed a Female Staffer .........., that was a co-worker then of, NOW 51st Assembly District Candidate Wendy Carrillo.  

Will, NOW 51st AD Candidate Wendy Carrillo ever break her SILENCE regarding the infamous August, 2009 Public Act of Inappropriate/Abusive Conduct against former CD-14 Co-worker Celina Mancia by, THEN Boss (and current Endorser) City Councilman Jose Huizar? 

** Blogger's Notes: For reasons VERY PERSONAL to this writer, the Mayor Sam Blog will always be a Cyber-refuge for Women who have been abused, mistreated, retaliated against ........, and seek to empower/heal themselves by confronting their tormentors. BLUNTLY, a man is merely a soulless persona (think Harvey Weinstein and a GROWING list of others), if he resorts to using his influence (along with perceived power) to verbally and physically accost Women, in unwanted acts of self-indulgence. In August of 2009, many were in attendance during the National Night Out Event at the, THEN newly-reconstructed Hollenbeck Police Station, when CD-14 City Councilman Jose Huizar erupted into a VERBAL TIRADE directed at, NOW ex. Staffer Celina Mancia (who is presently the wife of Assemblyman Miguel Santiago). Eight years later, we still remember the multiple phone calls from VERY reliable eyewitnesses ............ and the comments posted in the aftermath. Those comments vividly described a POLITICO engaging in conduct that could have resulted in legal action ..........,and it was not surprising that the VICTIM soon vacated her position. Simply, those who's CHARACTER was the foundation for repudiating the actions of Councilman Huizar in writing, are to be commended , while the male and female staffers including Ana Cubas, Sara Hernandez and WENDY CARRILLO, need to be outed for their continuing SILENCE ........., regarding a DOCUMENTED, past "Suspect" in a Sexual Assault------Scott Johnson.

Mayor Sam Exclusive: Wendy Carrillo's "Campaign of Endorsements" an Invitation to Re-expose the Past Inconvenient Truths of Jose Huizar?

On the eve of the next 51st Assembly District (AD) Candidate Forum at California State University Los Angeles (CSULA), the Wendy Carrillo's "Campaign by Endorsements" ......, is in part, an invitation to re-expose the Inconvenient Truths (and past Sexual Harassment/Inappropriate Conduct allegations) of her former boss, CD-14 City Councilman Jose Huizar.   

"A few years ago, I had the honor and the privilege to serve the constituents within the 34th Congressional District through my work for Councilmember Jose Huizar as a part of his Communications team. I am appreciative of the Councilmember’s mentorship and friendship throughout the years, as he and I share in a common vision for our communities. Thank you, Councilmember Huizar, for the opportunity to serve the 14th Council District and the 34th Congressional District." —Wendy

** Bloggers's Notes: With two weeks remaining before the 51st AD Election Day, Candidate Wendy Carrillo's "Campaign of Endorsements", is in actuality, becoming an invitation to expose the Inconvenient Truths of THOSE within the CADEM Establishment/Special Interests United, who have endorsed her ANOINTED quest to become an Elected, Officeholder. 

From the likes of State Senate President Kevin Alexander (de or of) Leon (the former roommate of embattled State Senator Tony Mendoza) and Assemblyman Ian Calderon (the next generation of the Calderon Political Crime Family), some Endorsements are best left UNSTATED. 

That stated, its surprising (especially in this CURRENT anti-Sexual Harassment/Inappropriate Conduct Climate) that Candidate Carrillo would embrace the support of CD-14 City Councilman Jose Huizar ......, but then there is the Inconvenient Truth of her "STAFFER PAST (2007-2010)".

Morning Brief on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Tuesday

What stories the walls of the new Hollenbeck Police Station could tell, if they could speak.

Great Excessive Heat Warning Tuesday to all as we remind our cyber audience, that proper hydration is important on this day. But before we move onto the present political news of the day, pause with us as we observed a bloggin anniversary.

As members of the surrounding community gather at the Hollenbeck Police Station for tonight's National Night Out festivities, who among the many local activists will remember what happen three years ago when CD 14 Councilman Jose Huizar saw a certain ex. staffer (there are many) among the masses. We cut and paste these comments on what happens next 

** Everyone saw Jose lose it. He was up on stage when he heard Henry Casas was in the audience and starting questioning everyone about why Henry was there. He stormed up to that young girl, put is hands in her face-so close I was just waiting for him to strike her and just starting screaming at her. Everyone just stood there scared. It was ugly, he stormed off, she looked so terrified I thought she was going to cry.August 06, 2009 12:07 AM

..... and this comment from a "person in blue"

** Hey I'm an officer with LAPD and I was there. We did see the incident but we had community folks come up to us later and tell us what happen. They were very upset, unfortunately no one on staff said anything when asked about it. To tell you the truth it makes me sick that he could get away with that. It might have to do with his sister-in-law working at the station. What we did see and what is all the talk at the station was what Huizar's office did to there former Chief Henry Casas. As soon as he got to the event they sent a staff person to follow him around. It was funny to watch. I mean they were on him like white on rice. Everyone of us noticed it and even made joke to Henry about Huizar having lo-jack on him. Henry if you read this stuff you are welcome in Hollenbeck any time. Jose, I never liked you after your anti cop statements at the Ramon Gardens and after Henry left your office your stock went down even lower with us but to scare the crap out of one your young female staff is just the last straw. Hope to god that you never mess up and break the law infront of me because I don't care what management tells me to do, I would take you down hard.August 06, 2009 9:33 AM.

Three years later, what will happen tonight on a hot evening? Be there to see.

** OTHER NEWS:

Outtakes from CD 14: Councilman Huizar's Latest Staffer Deletion via his Website

Another staffer has left the field office.

We take you to the the "contact us" section of CD 14 Councilman Jose Huizar's website. Direct your attention to the staff directory for the Boyle Heights Field Office. Who is missing from this list?

Jesse Leon, Boyle Heights Area Director (Jesse.Leon@lacity.org)

Jennifer Martinez, Field Deputy & Event Coordinator(Jennifer.Martinez@lacity.org)

David Miranda, Field Deputy(David.Miranda80@lacity.org)

Rocio Hernandez, Case Manager(Rocio.Hernandez@lacity.org)

If you said Celina Mancia, then you get the current e-mail blast from Huizar detailing his latest doings.

But for Celina Mancia, and the growing society of ex. staffers of Jose Huizar, maybe its time to start booking some large venue like the Staples Center, Nokia Theater, 740 Club or Steven's Steakhouse, for a Christmas get together/reunion.

To most "in the know" within the "political cut and paste barrio" that is CD 14. The departure of Mancia comes as no surprise. After being subjected to the alleged verbal assault by Huizar at the National Night Out event at the new Hollenbeck Police Station, Mancia was rarely seen again in her capacity within the Boyle Heights Field Office. Plus, speculation is that she is comtemplating some sort of legal action against Huizar.

Further, the speculation surrounding her relationship with former Huizar's Deputy Chief of Staff Henry Casas, who vacated his position with Huizar some seven months after be charged with domestic violence, may have been the spark that set off the alleged verbal assualt by Huizar.

Casas, we have learned, has been hire by Soledad Enrichment Action (SEA), where he joins another Huizar ex. staffer Armando Gonzalez. Here is hoping that Casas and Mancia find peace away from their former duties in the "staffer grinder" that is CD 14 under Huizar. ** Celina Mancia is now working for Central City East in Downtown LA.

OTHER CD 14 RELATED NEWS:

** Former SEIU Local 660 President and former boyfriend of disgrace SEIU 721 head Arnelle Grajeda, Alejandro Stephens, pleaded guilty to to two counts of mail fraud and one count of filing a false tax return for his role in the Voter Improvement Program scheme of the late County Labor Federation leader Miguel Contreras. Of interest to CD 14 is the role of Councilman Huizar in this scheme. While clear by the FBI of any wrong doings in his role as consultant for the V.I.P. non-profit, the Los Angeles Garment and Citizen Newspaper has not receive any comments from Councilman Huizar's office regarding this story.

ARE FEDS STILL ON HUIZAR?: The U.S. Attorney might have dropped an investigation into 14th District City Councilmember Jose Huizar, but reliable sources say that agents of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) are asking some questions of their own. The U.S. Attorney recently cleared Huizar after considering the propriety of payments he received from a labor-backed outfit for consulting services during his tenure on the Los Angeles Unified School District board. The IRS now appears to be backtracking Huizar’s spending habits, which could be an investigative method to check his claims on deductions or to determine whether he properly reported all of his income. Spend more than you could possibly afford on whatever income you claim and it’s liable to become a red flag for the feds. Huizar’s office had not returned calls seeking comment as of presstime…

Still waiting for some statement from Rick Coca.

** Jenny Krusoe, a founding member of the Southwest Museum's exclusive "Southwest Society" and the founder of CD 14 latest "connected non-profit" Legacy LA, has left the organization. Also absent from the from the Legacy LA website is "advisor on redevelopment", CRA official Dalita Sotelo and former Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Council President David Galaviz.

Krusoe, for all of her abrasive traits, leaves Legacy LA in the hands of Executive Director, Maria Lou Calanche, who is an well-known political operative and former three-time candidate for public office. Krusoe's former antagonists at the Hazard Park Advisory Board have also met with termination as PAB members, after Los Angeles Recreation and Parks send letters to members who three year terms had expire. But according to sources, Rec and Parks may be acting selectivly in enforcing this policy. For example, Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Council member Lupe Guillen, has served on the Lincoln Park PAB for seven years and then there is this from the Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council, from one of the candidates for the vacant "Recreation, Culture and the Arts position.

MARTHA BENEDICT (Montecito Heights stakeholder) STATEMENT: I’m committed to enhancing Arroyo culture as the main ingredient of our community identity and the flavor of future development. Our dramatic geography has attracted artists and intellectuals for over a century and so it continues, as I’ve learned from knowing my neighbors. I’ve served on the Debs Park Advisory Board for over five years and was recently elected chair. I’m on the board of the Montecito Heights Improvement Association and the Mount Washington Preschools. I support restoring the Arroyo Seco River as an unpaved water course, reopening the Southwest Museum as a museum and preserving historic neighborhood character.

It seems that politics is at play again at Hazard Park and we can link to the "past investigation" of Hazard Park PAB members on instructions from Legacy LA's Jenny Krusoe and CD 14 Councilman Jose Huizar.

** Councilman Huizar recently gave this comment regarding the 710 Tunnel to The Eagle Rock Association (TERA) "State of the Town" meeting, as noted by Tom Topping in the Boulevard Sentinal.

Just Say No? 710-Gap!
The Councilman had something to say regarding the 710 freeway gap through his district's communities of El Sereno, Highland Park, Glassell Park, Mt. Washington or Eagle Rock. He said, "I will not allow in the areas of my direct jurisdiction, any above ground or tunnel to come through Northeast Los Angeles to fill that gap. It just- does not- make- sense." To which he received a rousing applause. The residents of eastern El Sereno aka. "Option 3 Neighborhood", may find his comment of some interest.
