BREAKING Hot Briefs (in photos) on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Tuesday

In a MAJOR setback for the US Senate Campaign of Unlawful State Senate Presiding Officer Kevin Alexander (of or de) Leon, his home district East Area Progressive Democratic Club, voted to Endorse incumbent Senator Dianne Feinstein, despite the verbal effort of LACCD Broad of Trustee Director (and recent Bar Exam-failing) Gabriel Buelna. 

Question for LACCD Trustee (and Kevin Alexander (of or de) Leon for US Senate supporter) Gabriel Buelna: Did your verbal effort to garner State Senator Kevin Alexander (of or de) Leon the East Area Progressive Democratic Club Endorsement for US Senate, have the same result as your attempt to pass the Cubafornia BAR Exam?

WTF Gabriel? I, "The Unlawful State Senate Presiding Officer Kevin Alexander (of or de) Leon the First", did NOT get the Endorsement of the East Area Progressive Democratic Club for the US Senate?

** Was the recent "Early Retirement Decision" by LAPD Chief Charlie Beck (pictured with NOW Commander Ruby Flores (formerly Malachi), partly influence by a change in "Domestic Status (think Marriage/Relationship)?

** Will CD-1 City Clowncil Central Committee Member Gil "Broken Deal Cedillo (and Gabacho Mayor Yoga Pants Garcetti)" be the target of a pending Communal Backlash (with litigation), on the level of the 1980s Boyle Heights Protest of a proposed Prison? To be continued-----Scott Johnson.

Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Tuesday

Today is the Official Release Day of the long-awaited book collaboration between LA Weekly Scribe Patrick Range McDonald and former two-term Mayor Richard Riordan. A cover to cover viewing is bound to cause an episode of longing for the not-forgotten era of civic rebirth and growth after the 1992 Riots.  

Too bad this must read will never grace the old SEIU 347 "Richard Riordan Reading Room".

With no apologies to former "Mayor Poopy", Failure Mayor Tony Villar, along with current F-ing Mayor Eric Garcetti, its time to flashback to an eight year era of civic rebirth, growth and renewal via the long-awaited book collaboration of former two term Mayor Richard Riordan and LA Weekly Writer Patrick Range McDonald. 

Concise, and to the point, Richard Riordan was the right choice for Mayor after the 1992 Riots. Two terms, eight years, at a cost of a dollar every 365 days later, Los Angeles was bring in $1 Billion dollars more in revenue per year than when he was first sworn in, with thousands of additional police securing a foundation for a crime reduction future. 

Foot in mouth episodes withstanding, the former Toy Company Executive was able to forge cross-party coalitions that enable LA to recover from the Northridge Earthquake and replace the forgotten LAPD Chief Willie Williams with now CD 8 City Councilman Bernard Parks.

Yet, since leaving office, Riordan was never able to capitalize politically on his successful era via the Third Floor, as evident with his failed attempt to replace Pete Wilson as Governor and the inability to get Steve "Mini Riordan I" Soboroff, along Austin "Mini Riordan II" Beutner elected Mayor.

But in the sunset of his political being, discerning Angelinos who care about the civic future of the City of Angels, would find it prudent to read the musings of a historic figure, in the hope of creating a better tomorrow.

** From the blunt talk (mixed with foot on occasions) of former Mayor Riordan, LA Weekly's Gene Maddaus regales us from the musing front end, with the latest "wonkish pronouncements" of a Rhodes Scholar, now tepid (white) Mayor Eric Garcetti via his appearance at the "Atlantic Magazine, Citylab Conference" ..........., (Walter) Isaacson (of the Aspen Institute) asked about encouraging an innovative culture within City Hall. Garcetti said that when dealing with his general managers, "You have to be able to follow from the front." He went on say that low-level employees should be able to "lead from the line." There's nothing necessarily wrong with encouraging front-line workers to solve problems. But "following from the front" is an unfortunate phrase. So much for performance-based utterances.

**  Just wondering if some official government agency will be waving an investigation notice in the direction of Assemblyman Isadore Hall anytime soon, this after a report by the "Weekly of Record" that Hall (or someone from his campaign team) mis-used some dollar bills at a Strip Club?

** Memo to the Friends of the Southwest Museum Coalition, you may be still wondering why CD City Clowncil Central Committee Member Gil "Broken Deal Cedillo" is blowing smoke in regards to your ambitious plans to reopen LA's Oldest Museum? Maybe it has to do with this "Pay to Play Contribution" via someone with "El Plan".?

Remember, all agreements with "Broken Deal Cedillo", are naught unless you "Pay to Play.
