End of Fiscal Year 2013/2014 (and Vacation Getaway day) Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Monday

Its time for the annual Getaway Celebration of another pending "New Fiscal New Year" and Birthday in the Great Outdoors. Thus after today, this blogger will be on hiatus until next Monday (with a bloggin surprise or two, between now and Monday).

Somewhere far away in the Great Outdoors.

Happy 2014/2015 Fiscal New Year Everyone!

As Public Department Heads engage in last minute stashing of unspent funds for the soon to be 2013/2014 Fiscal Year, this blogger preps for the annual getaway to celebrate another bloggin year of being. Thus before we depart for a soothing break from the political, cyber world, here are some topics for musing.

** Lincoln Heights residents are venting their anger over the latest CD 1 act of broken promises from the Office of City Clowncil Central Committee Member Gil "Broken Deal Cedillo", According to a source, negotiations over plans for a return of the Lincoln Park Fireworks Show, fell apart at the last minute when the Office of Clowncil Member "Broken Deal Cedillo", reneged on a promise to fund the show..........., and when "Broken Deal Cedillo" was confronted about this, he allegedly knew nothing. 

** Activists within the membership of SEIU 99 are up in arms over what they see as a sell out by their leadership in regards to a new contract as noted below ..........

FYI Union Brothers and Sisters, SEIU 99 sold out it's members, please visit the website seiu99.org for the TA agreement, it's highlights, not the actual language. Spread the word to classified members. As a rank and file member I urge everyone to Vote No!!! 

** Will someone find Michael "MEAT/Chief Parker" Trujillo a pacifier quick! It seems that MEAT has some issue with Mayor Garcetti setting up a new "Connected Non-Profit" to raise money for policy initiatives. Lil Mikey needs to reacquaint himself with his former Failure Mayor Antonio Villar's proclivities for "Pay to Play" with the likes of Million Tree LA and lets not forget all those free Laker tickets.

** With no apologies to Team Garcetti, but we must ponder whether the Mayor will have the "Political Cajones" to exploit the supposed loop hole in its agreement with IBEW/DWP "Boss D'Arcy Rizzo's" Joint Job Training and Safety Non-Profits? 

** Whoops!! We almost forgot to note the historic moment coming to CD 14 on Fourth of July as the first ever Medical Marijuana Farmers Market takes place in Boyle Heights. We are sure that the "Dear Charro, Princeton Graduate" will welcome this new growth business with a toke.

Your thoughts and Great Fourth of July to All ...............

Ana Cubas "Endorsement Lump of Coal" via SEIU Local 99

Did SEIU 99 insiders rig the LA County Labor Federation CD 9 Endorsement for State Senator Curren Price, over former CD 14 Chief of Staff Ana Cubas? 

Former CD 14 Chief of Staff and current CD 9 City Council Candidate Ana Cubas.

SEIU 99's Endorsement Gift to union ally Ana Cubas?

This is not the way to treat a sister.

But when the sister is former CD 14 Chief of Staff turned CD 9 City Council Candidate Ana Cubas, we dare say, Karma is a B....!

Consider this from a myopic Cubas union supporter.

Sternburger is reporting SEIU Local 99 members were recruited to attend the recent town hall endorsements who would tend to vote for the candidates the union wanted to endorse,the email from sternburger has been included below with additional highlighting.This would explain how the members choice Ana Cubas was not the endorsed winner, and members coaxed by executive board members and organizers in all the locals pushed hard for Curren Price the obvious push came when the members of Local 99 before announcing their choice walked out of the general meeting and did not participate, preventing an endorsement for Cubas. We have been told that their choice clearly was Ana Cubas the experienced former Chief of Staff for our friend Jose Huizar the honorable councilman from the 14th district. However they could not make that vote and were told they had to play politics and not cast that vote.

...... and judging from the email, Ana was the recipient of an endorsement lump of coal. So sad that Ana's quest for status will end in March (HaHa!!)
