The Political and Family Interests of Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard and Indicted CD-14 City Councilman Jose Huizar Intertwined?

As the Corruption Investigation of Indicted CD-14 City Councilman Jose Huizar continues, questions are mounting regarding the extent of Cooperation between the Indicted Officeholder and Family Members of the  longtime Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard.

 ** Blogger's Notes: As a growing list of the Los Angeles Political Machine seek to distance themselves from the growing scandal originating from 200 North Spring Street, we have search without success for any semblance of a comment, or statement regarding the Investigation from the Daughter of late Pioneer Eastside City Councilman (and Congressman) Edward Roybal.

It should be a given that longtime Congresswomen Lucille Roybal-Allard would find deplorable the alleged corrupt conduct that has been linked to the Princeton Graduate, turned suspended CD-14 Officeholder, considering that her Father was known for his uber-ethical proclivities.

But as noted previously, Congresswoman Roybal-Allard has been linked in the past to local Officeholders (City of Bell's George Cole) who have been convicted for Political Corruption, and with the Indictment of Councilman Huizar, its only logical that inquiries would be forthcoming regarding their political cooperation.

As pictured above, the Congresswoman was an active partner with Councilman Huizar in helping to secure funding for his proposed Downtown LA Streetcar Project, supporting the Bringing Back Broadway Imitative, and other numerous endeavors/projects of mutual interest.

That stated, its of interest to review whether Congresswoman Roybal-Allard's cooperation/support of Councilman Huizar's Pet Projects, was reciprocated in kind by the CD-14 Officeholder, in regards to business endeavors of Congresswoman's Family?  

Congresswoman Roybal-Allard's Niece Loushana Roybal-Rose, was listed as a Co-owner of the Align Gallery on York Blvd in Highland Park, in an area that is The Epicenter for the Gentrification of the Community.

In recent years, longtime community members have spoken out on the impact of Councilman Huizar's support (for the right fee, allegedly) of the new bars, restaurants, pot shops and galleries, that have replace numerous Latino Businesses along the York Blvd. Corridor.

The irony of Loushana Roybal-Rose's Investment in the Align Gallery, with its contribution to the Gentrification of York Blvd, is impossible to dismiss, considering her Grandfather's solitary fight against the Gentrification of Chavez Ravine via the building of Dodger Stadium .......... and an issue of current interest to her family members.

Roybal-Rose, along with her Mom Lillian, Edward Roybal Jr and Cousin Lou Roybal Gardner, are seeking to usurp the ethical legacy of the Lucille and Edward Roybal Foundation, by engaging in a legally-questionable takeover of the Public 501-C3 Non-Profit, that is allegedly-rooted in the potential monetary gain from a pending "Gentrification" (via the Metro Gold Line Extension) of the Foundation Property in East LA.

Outtakes from the Southeast LA Backrooms of Political Misdeeds

The Mayor Sam Sister City News Group reintroduces its "Outtakes from the Southeast LA Backrooms of Political Misdeeds" as multiple generations of those politically-connected, continue on in the ethically-tired tradition of rewarding cronyism ........., at the expense of communal values.

** Blogger's Notes: In a world that has been on pause due to a Virus from Wuhan, China and united in the Just Cause of Justice for George Floyd, the one constant that has not change is the Infestation of ethically-challenged Political/Communal Cronyism in Southeast LA. From the local City Halls of Governance to the Board of Directors of Community-based 501-C3 Non-Profits, multiple generations of supposed Community Leaders, are still afflicted with the notion that Cronyism/Nepotism, is paramount over ethics/openness/transparency, when engaging in the conduct of their respective entities of control. In recent weeks, continuing examples of this behavior has manifested itself in the City Halls of Commerce y Montebello, an Assembly Campaign in Southeast LA's 59th Assembly District ........., and a supposed 501-C3 Non-Profit, allegedly-committed to the Legacy (or family patronage?) of a Latino Political Pioneer, the late Congressman Edward Roybal. Below, we briefly update our continuing cyber-coverage of these local issues, in the interest of exposing those ethically-challenged and providing needed openness and transparency----Scott Johnson.
