Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Contribution Machine for Wednesday

On this day after the latest "Count de Campaign Monet Deadline" via the Ethics Commission, Second Term-seeking, Mayor Eric Garcetti trots onward with another $500,000-plus in the bank ........, but Progressive Mayoral Challenger Matthew Schwartz, may have garnered something Special Interests Money can't buy, a "Bern-powered Ground Game"..   

 Maybe Mayor Garcetti needs to remain fixated on the present campaign before trotting upwards with his political ambitions?

Progressive Mayoral Challenger Matthew Schwartz,

** Blogger's Notes: Its the day after another Ethics Commission's "Count de Campaign Monet Deadline", an initial review of the reports bids well for the Status Quo (with the exception of CD-5 reigning "Nanny Spud/Clowncilman" Paul Koretz) retaining Office Space at 200 Spring Street ......, but we want to bloggin cautious our cyber audience not to get "BERNED" in accepting another pending City Hall Establishment-financed sweep in March. 

While premise of this missive is rooted on the latest Candidate's Contribution Tallys, this past weekend's Democrat Delegate Elections which saw supporters of former Democratic Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders victorious in a majority of California's Assembly Districts balloting, can't be marginalize regarding possible March ramifications.

For PROGRESSIVE Mayoral Candidate Matthew Schwartz, the local success of  Sander's followers may give him something his meager fiscal resources can't buy ..........., a BERNING Ground Campaign to counter the pending mail blizzard of Garcetti Literature coming soon----Scott Johnson. 

"Count de Campaign Monet Briefs for 1-10-17":

Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Tuesday

With a Judicially-exonerated, former CD2/7 City Councilman Richard "Zorro Marxist" AlarCON, free to campaign as a Congressional Challenger against embattled Congressman Tony Cardenas, longtime South LA Soulvine Columnist Betty Pleasant muses about potential "Brown Black Inequality", involving the Voter Fraud Convictions (and dismissal) of State Senator Rodrick Wright and AlarCON. 

 Hahahaha Betty!! I'm exonerated ........., and Rod is still convicted.

Longtime Soulvine Columnist Betty Pleasant.

** Blogger's Note: A light news morning at 200 Spring Street (with the possible exception of Sidewalk Vote, update below), grants us cyber space to catch up on recent musings via the keyboards of Longtime South LA Soulvine Columnist Betty Pleasant and Downtown News Editor and "Reigning Scribe of Wit" Jon Regardie respectively AFTERNOON UPDATE: The City Clowncil Central Committee approves plan to pass on the cost of future Sidewalk Repairs to Property Owners ----Scott Johnson.

** Within the "Space of Being" of longtime South LA Soulvine Columnist Betty Pleasant, every action, event, convictions of corrupt Politicos ........., and their Judicial Exoneration, is viewed through a racial prism as exampled below.

What is the difference between Richard Alarcón and Rod Wright? Alarcon is Hispanic and he’s been vindicated. Wright is Black and he hasn’t. I asked Wright: what are you going to do? He said his appeal was filed with the Second District Court of Appeals last spring and he said he and his attorney are waiting for oral arguments to be scheduled. In light of Alarcón’s acquittal, that district attorney thing we have issued a statement to the effect that her office is “reviewing the court’s opinion and deciding on other options.”

In Betty's opinion ........, Exonerating Corrupt Black Politicos Matters.

 2017 Mayoral Candidate Matthew Schwartz via the Downtown News.

** Downtown News Editor and Scribe of Wit Jon Regardie does a Public Service in enlightening Angelinos on the background of Mayoral Candidate Upstart Matthew Schwartz .........., and some details excerpted below. 

In a nutshell, here’s what you need to know about Schwartz: He’s thoughtful, intelligent and running out of a true desire to help a city that sometimes feels like it’s melting into an economically ravaged, homelessness-plagued sludge. He’s no gadfly and the campaign for this married father of three is serious. He genuinely appears to care far more about the state of Los Angeles than the personal power the mayor’s office affords. At the same time, Schwartz seems shockingly out of his league, with a platform and a race strategy that are as wobbly as a plate of Clifton’s Jell-O. Granted his candidacy is in its infancy, but more than anything he seems to be banking on riding a populist swell against politics as usual. He repeatedly criticized Garcetti and cited Los Angeles’ myriad problems and weaknesses, but was unable to articulate what he personally has done that qualifies him to run a city of 4 million people.

In layman's terms, its about being a candidate speed bump to slow Mayor Gar-SOFT-ee's Sacramento ambitions.

Your thoughts ...............

Morning Briefs on 2017 Los Angeles Mayoral Ambitions for Thursday

As we near the end of the First Month of 2016, potential candidates to challenge Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti's bid for a Second Term, are making their possible intentions known ......, and all have ties to the past Administration of Former Failure (and possible competitor for Governor in 2018) Mayor Antonio Villar .

When will Jose Huizar walk across the future Bridge of Political Ambition, 2017?

** Blogger's Note: We are less than fourteen months away from the 2017 Los Angeles Municipal Elections and despite having $Two Million dollars plus on hand, Mayor Eric Garcetti's bid for a Second Term (and quest for Higher Office) will not go unchallenged .........., especially from a certain, ahhh, rival Political Faction.  

Coincidence, or not, two associates linked to fail policy initiatives via the reign of former Failure Mayor Antonio Villar have made public their possible, respective intentions to challenge Mayor Eric Garcetti's bid for a Second Term.
