Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Tuesday

We bring you this Public Service Announcement regarding a Downtown LA Protest this afternoon via a "Gorda Boo Boo/ Molina Boo Boo Production". 

Its easier for LA County Board of Supervisor Gloria "Molina Boo Boo" and her Staff Deputy (and LAUSD School Board Member) Monica "Gorda Boo Boo" Garcia to choreograph this rally from the nearby confines of their office.

** Blogger's Note: Great Tuesday AM to our blogging friends as yet another Downtown LA Rally/ Protest is set for the Civic Center at the end of the work day. We want to extend this blogging PSA to all our Civic Center readers, to give you adequate planning time for today's 4 PM exercise in drumming, dancing, chanting and feigning discrimination, on behalf of the lucrative 1% Educational Collective, Academia Semillas del Pueblo, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Mark(os) Aguilar-Ferguson. We would not doubt that today's theatrics are being choreographed in part by the new Hall of Administration duo of LA County Board of Supervisor Gloria "Molina Boo Boo" and her now Deputy Staffer Monica "Gorda Boo Boo" Garcia. This in the hope of putting pressure on the LA County Board of Education and its Superintendent, to change their position in supporting LAUSD's Charter Revocation of the Semillas High School Campus. Thus, for those leaving work around the Civic Center later today, think of the chants of protest, being in actuality, a celebration of governmental oversight, done properly in the spirit of closing down a failed and fraudulent educational enterprise---Scott Johnson. 

Now we bring you this bloggin disclosure in the spirit of propose new FPPC regulations, regarding "compensated musings", on behalf of political causes and personas (as approved by our alleged blog owner Campaign Consultant Eric Hacopian ; ).

 Dedicated to the "Gatto Truthers" (BTW, is that Kevin Harrop under the foil hat?) at the "Burbank (Astro Turf) Blog".

Morning briefs on the Los Angeles Political Scene for Monday

Is City Controller Wendy Greuel covering for City Councilman Jose Huizar regarding CLARTSgate?

Question for City Controller Wendy Greuel, what do the likes of Martin Ludlow, Jack Weiss, Gil Cedillo, Pops Villar, some man in the Central Valley, Ruben Cortines, Corina Raigosa, UTLA, and the voters of Los Angeles all have in common? They are all the people that Mayor Antonio, soon to be again, Villar have pushed in front of the bus, after their usefulness had run its political course. And Wendy, your date with the bus may be coming soon base upon your role in CLARTSgate.

Many CD 14 observers took notice of your appearance at Councilman Huizar's Campaign Kickoff last Saturday in Boyle Heights. I'm sure that your political heart was touched when Councilman Huizar broke down in describing the efforts of his mom to provide for young Huizzy and his siblings. But no one will shed tears for you in 2013 if you do not objectively provide information that can bring CLARTSgate to a speedy resolution.

Controller Greuel will remember her visit to the Boyle Heights Neighborhood Council where she worked the room and reminded the city employees present, that it was her who signed their respective paychecks. But it also her who is responsible for audits and accounting how public money is spent in the City of Los Angeles. But most important, it is her job to provide the documentation when a person requested the information, especially under the auspices of the California Public Records Act. Greuel will also remember stating that the proceeds in the CLARTS Fund were only for usage within CD 14 (please refer to Greuel's attendance in The Voice Newspaper's CLARTS Fund story).

As CLARTSgate garners more attention from objective observers in media and within the voting ranks of CD 14, it would be wise for Greuel to make all expenditures related to the CLARTS Fund available for review. Thus, ensuring that CD 14 voters can articulate an inform opinion on Councilman Huizar's oversight of the fund.

OTHER NEWS:

** LA Times City Hall Scribe David Zahniser exposes Councilman Dennis Zine's past votes on projects linked to his lobbyist squeeze Veronica Becerra. If Councilman Zine is looking beyond the horseshoe, like becoming the City Controller, his current political behavior is not going to help. But hey, he did rescue Jimmy Blackman from unemployment.

** If one wants to gauge how bad the current state of affairs are at LAUSD, take the time to read Ron Kaye's latest missive on the questionable eduaction background of Mayor Antonio Villar, whoops, LAUSD selection of "Dr." John Deasy as its next's Superintendent. But one must remember that the role of the Superintendent is to make sure that contracts not test scores, move in the right direction.

** Assemblyman Mike Gatto Political Papi Dario Frommer former boss Fransisco Leal's dubious political dealings, just cost former Ramona Gardens resident Hugo "Rebel" Argumedo his City Council seat in the City of Commerce. As we say in the hood. "You can take the homie out of the hood, but you can't take the hood out the homie".

** "WWG" Kevin Roderick continues his efforts to promote City Maven as a source of City Hall chisme. Today, the maven features a "probing" (more like accepting Parke and Mikey's spin as the truth) Q & A with CD 14 Councilman Huizar. Just wondering if Rudy Martinez will receive the same puff treatment in his Q & A to be publish online tomorrow?

** The Valley Daily News Rick Orlov break news about the numerous rats running amok at 200 Spring Street. He is referring to the ones with long tales. BTW, Mayor Antonio, soon to be again, Villar will reign as chairperson of both the MTA Board and National League of Mayors. More travel time for Villar and deal making on Measure R contracts ahead.
