Background on CD 14 Officeholder Account Report

CD 14 Deputy Chief of Staff Francine Godoy (second from right) at a recent Ed Headington for Assembly Fundraiser.

For those inquisitive CD 14 political observers who were speculating why Deputy Chief of Staff Francine Godoy did not assume the top staff position upon the departure of now CD 9 City Council Candidate Ana Cubas, take some time to review the latest quarterly officeholder account report.

Judging from the report, Godoy has "other duties" beside those that earn her a six-figure salary at City Hall.

Noting from the latest report, Councilman Huizar continues his love for dining out with employees and those in position of power. Matter of fact, the Boyle Heights Princeton Graduate enjoyed eating out so much in the last quarter (the most of any councilman) that the details pertaining to who dined on the contributions of donors, was omitted from the majority of disclosures.

But considering that Godoy was reimbursed $1939.49 for "office related expenses", in addition to hundreds more for other meetings, then it becomes clear why Godoy had no time for assuming new duties.
