Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political for Monday
Infant Assemblyman Mike Gatto on leglization of Ganga.
Great Monday morning to all as we count down the days to Friday's "City Clowncil Central Committee" Meeting. The issue of Medical Marijuana will be on the the agenda and expect hundreds of pro Medical Marijuana advocates to pack the chamber to speak out against the ban on medical pot shops sought by CD 14 City Councilman Jose Huizar. We wonder how a possible future "CD 4 City Councilman Mike Gatto" would vote on this contentious issue, for a outright ban, or for limiting the number of shops to 100 as advocated by Councilman Koretz?
** In this Monday's "Tipoff Column" via Daily News Rick Orlov, we learned that the Los Angeles County Young Democrats conducted a poll among themselves on the upcoming 2013 Mayoral Election. The results .... Greuel was the choice of 32 percent of those surveyed, Garcetti was in second with 22 percent. Councilwoman Jan Perry came in at 13 percent and Republican Kevin James had 7 percent. Nice to see the DINOS represent for James.
** 2013 Mayoral Candidate Kevin James with Campaign Consultant John Thomas in company, discuss ed their election game plan with Downtown News Editor and "Scribe of Wit Jon Regardie.
James, 48, believes that in a low-turnout election (four months after the presidential ballot) he can cobble together about 110,000 votes from four main blocs. He’ll start with Republicans — he’s the only registered GOP candidate in the race — and complement them with listeners of his former late-night radio show (it ended in October). He expects to pull what he calls the “pitchfork and torch” crowd, folks he says normally won’t vote for anyone inside City Hall. He terms his fourth base “concerned voters,” people who worry that Los Angeles will soon tumble into bankruptcy and want fresh ideas.
It could work ....
Animal Rights Activist and alleged Cyber Stalker Mary Cummins
There is cyber justice in America.
Randy Turner with the firm Bailey & Galyen has again earned his name as the "Texas Super Lawyer" for Bat World Sanctuary. Bat World Sanctuary, an international non-profit organization devoted to rescuing and rehabilitating bats, and its president, Amanda Lollar of Mineral Wells, were awarded $6.1 million in damages by a Tarrant County district judge on June 14 in a defamation lawsuit. After a four-day trial the court found that Mary Cummins of Los Angeles, California had committed defamation against Amanda Lollar and had breached her internship contract with Bat World Sanctuary.
"This judgment sends a powerful message to cyber-stalkers and others who use the internet to harass people or to harm their reputations. Innocent victims like Amanda Lollar often don't have the resources, expertise, or ability to defend themselves against such vicious internet attacks. Hopefully this judgment will make someone think twice before engaging in an internet smear campaign," said Turner.
AMEN!!
