** The latest rumor originating from the Northeast LA Political Chatter Network is that Stonewall Young Democrat President (and El Sereno resident) Ari Ruiz is pondering a campaign against Los Angeles Community College District Board of Trustee Member Ernest Moreno .......,LOL ,LOL, ,LOL, LOL!! Please pardon the outburst of cyber laughter, but we recall the last time Ruiz ran for the LA-32 Neighborhood Council in 2014 ........., and the results? Hint. not good.

** Blogger's Note: We are usually pro-active in shilling for our Investigative Journalist, turned Top-rated Weekend Talk Show Host Friend Randy Economy, but we want to STRONGLY encourage our cyber audience to set aside the 8-9 PM Hour this evening to tune in as the former Reporter of Record for the Los Cerritos News (now known as the weakly "Brian Hews/Los Chacon News"), has a GREAT show planned.

A Open Letter for CD 7 Sparks Community Unity through Action

A certain CD 7 City Councilman's Inaction and Contempt for his Sunland-Tujunga Constituents, is the motivation for a community-unifying, Act of Civic Activism, that the Mayor Sam Blog ......., and hopefully the whole of CD 7, will embrace in support.

CD 7 Open Letter Supporters Brian Schneider and Art Miner, in Studio with KRLA 870 AM Saturday Evening Talk Show Host Randy Economy, listen to Podcast by linking here.

** Blogger's Note: The Mayor Sam Blog since its creation via the late Michael Higby, has been a bloggin tool for forging relationships, collaborations ......and sometimes, cyber-tumult through our cast of commentators. But the one long term relationship with a community that stands above all the rest, has been our bloggin devotion (sometimes rough) to the Sunland-Tujunga Community. Born out of our diverse coverage of the NO Home Depot Campaign (and the many outstanding community leaders that have themselves, become sources of content), the community has become our cyber-home (especially after Michael moved into the neighborhood), with Joselitos becoming our designated eatery/watering hole (in times of celebration ......, and sadly grief). Thus, we would be bloggin remiss, in not exposing the current "State of Inaction and Recrimination" being directed at the Sunland-Tujunga Community by its CD 7 City Council Member Felipe Fuentes, including his EVICTION of the Sunland-Tujunga Neighborhood Council (STNC) from its longtime office at the North Valley City Hall. If Councilman Fuentes thought that his actions would soon become a afterthought in a sometimes, divided community ........,then his political thought process, can be gauged as being shallower than the current water level in Tujunga Wash. Instead, thanks to the likes of Brian Schneider and Art Miner, the Watershed of Unity, within the Sunland-Tujunga Community has been replenished in a growing, Flash Flood of Support, for the requested actions outlined in the superbly crafted, "CD 7 Open Letter" (which we have posted below). The Mayor Sam Blog STRONGLY endorses the content and requested actions, outlined in the CD 7 Open Letter ........, and would request that every constituent in not only Sunland-Tujunga, but also in CD 7, stand united in forging a Washing Wave of Accountability (via signing the Letter), from CD-7 to 200 Spring Street----Scott Johnson.

The Brian Hews/Los Chacon News Journalistic Malpractice Disclaimers for Saturday (11-21-15)

Its time for our weekly review of Journalistic Malpractice via the Commerce/Bell Gardens/Hawaiian Gardens Casino-financed Keyboard of Publisher/Chief Propagandist (for the Chacon Political Family, allegedly) of the formerly, award-winning Los Cerritos News, now the weakly, "Brian Hews/Los Chacon News". 

Publisher/Propagandist Brian Hews minus Chacon Political Family-financed Tin Foil Hat. 

** Blogger's Note: Great Saturday before Turkey Day, to all in our cyber audience, as we bloggin present our Second Edition of The Brian Hews/Los Chacon News Journalistic Malpractice Disclaimers for 11-21-15.  

As we commence in keyboarding our Second Edition of deconstructing the factually-challenged, agenda-driven missives via the Publisher/Propagandist (for Hire) Brian Hews, we cannot help in comparing the multiple amounts of disclaimer-warranting examples of "Yellow Journalism", to a Turkey Shoot.

Since the completion of the most recent LA County Election Cycle almost three weeks ago, Hews has remain true to his manic-driven proclivities of smearing Public Officials who are impediments to the political interests of the co-namesakes of the now weakly, "Brian Hews/Los Chacon News".

This last week alone, Hews (with Chacon Politiical Family-financed Tin Foil Hat securely- positioned), targeted the likes of Central Basin Water District Director Leticia Vasquez, Montebello Police Chief Kevin McClure, Cerritos Mayor Carol Chen and The Gateway Guardian Newspaper, with innuendo-laden (and borderline slanderous) missives, that sadly, have replace the former award-winning content.

The true, singular fact connecting these four "Wanton Missives of Distortions (WMDs)" are rooted in need of the Hews/Chacon Cabal to counter the growing backlash (and possible future investigations) targeting their questionable ethical and legal behavior.

For the record, former Los Cerritos News Investigative Reporter, now KRLA 870 AM Saturday Evening Talk Show Host Randy Economy, spoke out against his former boss Hews ....., and his Chacon Family partners during the ending segment of last Saturday's show. Economy also elaborated on the Retraction Request by Montebello Police Chief Kevin McClure, directed at an Hews-byline missive. It should also be notice that The Gateway Guardian Newspaper is a sponsor of KRLA 870 AM The Randy Economy Show. 

Thus, when Economy's comments, the backgound information and the "WMDs" keyboard last week by Hews, are properly placed in a factual timeline, its can be clearly extrapolated that the current "Publisher/Propagandist of the Chacon Political Family", is merely (again) engaging in "yellow-tainted smears (which he has been FINED for, in targeting Mayor Chen in the recent past)", to affect a attempted cover up of ethical and legal behavior .........., meriting a formal investigation (and disclaimer branding)----Scott Johnson.

The Official Symbol of the Brian Hews/Los Chacon News Journalistic Malpractice Disclaimers.

HOT Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Monday

As Mayor Eric Garcetti leads (and reassures) Angelinos in Standing with the People of France after the vile Radical Islamic Terror Attacks in Paris, he finds the time to revisit (quietly) the Holman United Methodist Church in South LA (minus Black Lives Matter Protesters).  

Mayor/Naval Reservist Eric Garcetti reassuring Angelinos that "All is Well in LA".

** Blogger's Note: As the world stands with the People of France in the aftermath of Friday's vile Terrorist Attacks in Paris, Mayor Eric Garcetti "stayed the course" in reassuring Angelinos over the weekend that due diligence was the order of the day, with the likes of LAPD exhibiting a higher profile at large public events city-wide. Yet, while the news media and public remain fixated on the fluid events in Paris, it seems that Mayor Garcetti quietly, out-maneuvered Black Lives Matter Protesters, in returning to the West Adams, Holman United Methodist Church, as a "Special Guest" for a Veterans Celebration Sermon. Judging from the Facebook Pages of both the Church and Mayor Garcetti, the notice of the Mayor's appearance was made public, after the fact for obvious reasons. 

Meanwhile all is quiet as Mayor Garcetti returns to the Holman United Methodist Church.

** KRLA 870 AM Saturday Evening Talk Show Host Randy Economy went public regarding his issues with Editor/Publisher Brian Hews of the former, award-winning Los Cerritos News, now known merely as the "Brian Hews/Los Chacon News". Economy STRONGLY condemn Hews for the current state of reporting (especially after the Montebello Elections) at the now, factually-challenged weakly.

** We bring you this rare "WMD = Written Missive of Distinction" from the keyboard of longtime South LA Columnist Betty Pleasant, regarding the Los Angeles contingent of Black Lives Matter ......, and you may be in for a surprise as noted in the excerpt below.

REPUDIATE THESE PEOPLE! — Well, Melina Abdullah and her name-calling, foul-mouthed band of activist wannabes came out of their shells the other evening and enraged a large number of Black Angelenos, when she and her Black Lives Matter followers hijacked the meeting convened by Mayor Eric Garcetti and his Black constituents for a town hall discussion of the myriad of problems troubling many of us in this city. I was born and raised in this city and no mayor in my lifetime has ever assented to, let alone proposed such a meeting. 

As you know, I have never been a fan of Garcetti, but I feel I must publicly acknowledge that the thwarted town hall meeting he arranged was exactly what we followers of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense wanted when we fought for the enactment of theCivil Rights Act of 1960. We didn’t have any Black people in high places and the White politicians wouldn’t listen to what we had to say about our condition in this city, state, and country. If they had been willing to discuss our problems, we wouldn’t have had to march on Washington and Fannie Lou Hamer and them wouldn’t have had to organize the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party so Black folks’ needs could be heard by somebody.

......., and Betty is heard again.

Hot Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Columbus Day

As the backlash grows against the Sunland-Tujunga Neighborhood Council (STNC) Lockout tactics of CD 7 City Councilman Felipe Fuentes, its becoming more apparent that the looming Federal Grand Jury proceedings involving members and staffers of the Northeast San Fernando Valley Democratic Machine's "Gang of Five", may have played a role in Councilman Fuente's actions.

The Northeast San Fernando Valley Democratic Machine's "Gang of Five".

** As non-essential City of Los Angeles facilities engage in a Columbus Day Holiday Lockdown, the growth in the backlash against the Sunland-Tujunga Neighborhood Council (STNC) Eviction initiated by CD 7 City Councilman Felipe Fuentes continues.

Longtime Sunland-Tujunga Activist Lydia Grant, in a appearance on the KRLA 870 AM Randy Economy Show last Saturday Evening,announced that the San Fernando Valley Alliance of Neighborhood Councils and the Los Angeles Neighborhood Council Coalition (LANCC) were initiating Motions that assert the rights of NCs to maintain office space within city property.

The actions of the two major coalition of NCs come in response to documents that disclose Councilman Fuentes lack of forthrightness in noting that the STNC was in fact, leasing office space that was label vacant, when the CD 7 Officeholder sought approval of the full City Council to grant office space to the Los Angeles Conservation Corp and the Los Angeles Housing Group.

That said, its also apparent via the timing of the Councilman Fuentes Lockout and the issuing of the Federal Grand Jury Subpoenas to staff members of CD 6 City Councilwoman Nury Martinez, Its logical that staff members from CD 7 who were also involve in the 39th AD Campaign Ballot Count, may also receive Subpoenas to appear before the Federal Grand Jury. 

Thus, the Councilman Fuentes Lockout/Eviction of the STNC, may have a political retribution origin. More on that later.

** Last week rains washed out a planned protest, targeting the Highland Park Figueroa Corridor policies of CD 1 City Council Gil Cedillo, What has gone unreported until now is a possible CD 14 Councilman Jose Huizar connection to the protest leaders. Both Cycling Activist Josez Bray-Ali and Historic Highland Park Neighborhood Council President Monica Alcarez, are staunch Huizar supporters, prompting objective observes to opine that the just re-elect CD 14 Officeholder, is inciting the protests as retribution for Councilman Cedillo's support of former CD 14 City Council Candidate Gloria Molina. 

** The following ad pictured below from the former Southeast LA County Newspaper of Record, now the "Official Smelly Fish Wrap of the Chacon Political Family (paid for by the Commerce Casino)", the Los Cerritos News, is prompting many to call out the blatant, falsehood-laden agenda attacks against Montebello Mayor Jack Hadjinian by the Brian Hews-published Weekly Paper. In the last couple of years, Brian Hews has become the Convicted Felon Angel Gonzalez-like newsprint promoter of the Calderon-like, Chacon Political Family as the ad below illustrate. In the days ahead, we will highlight the "Fall from Grace" for a former Award-winning Newspaper, turned muckraker tool for Southeast LA Corruption.

Hot Morning Brief on the Southeast LA Mario Beltran Political Machine for Monday

From day jobs shilling for the likes of Gil "One Bill (or Broken Deal)" Cedillo and indicted Calderon Brothers, Ron & Tom ..........., to documented, after hours "adventures" at the former Downtown LA 740 Club, ex. Bell Gardens City Councilman, now Southeast LA Political Consultant Mario Beltran, is never far from (exploiting) the latest Southeast LA Political Controversy

Pledging to tell the Truth is not Mario Beltran's best, political trait.

The reigning Bad Boy of Southeast Los Angeles County Politics, is front and center, in fermenting political mischief, again, this time in Huntington Park.

Huntington Park, which has been the political birth place for the likes of former US Treasurer Rosario Marin and indicted, former LA County Assessor John Noguez, was the latest pit stop in the on-going dialog regarding illegal immigration last week.

First Term Huntington Park City Councilman Jhonny Pineda created a national uproar when he, with the support of three council colleagues, appointed the illegal alien duo of Julian Zatarain and Francisco Medina (a former Assemblyman Cedillo intern), to the Recreation & Parks and Health & Education Commission respectively.

It was a given that rabid commentators on both fringes of the illegal immigration issue, would be fixated on the actions of the Huntington Park City Council (with Councilman Valentin Amezquita dissenting), but the "real story" behind these appointments have nothing to do with espousing the positive contribution of illegal immigrants, instead its all about the money (ie. future government contracts).

Councilman Amezquita, along with former HP Councilwoman Linda Caravallo, were in-studio with KRLA 870 AM Talk Show Host Randy Economy this past Saturday evening, to discuss the controversial appointments. During the show, a caller from HP stated that the "real story" regarding the appointments, had to do with Councilman Pineda and his council allies role in placing supporters in key commission positions, to facilitating awarding contracts to business interests connected to ......, MARIO BELTRAN (and 2016 Assembly Candidate Efren Martinez, allegedly).

While its not apparent that Beltran is seeking HP Economic Development Fund to open a version of the infamous Downtown LA "740 Club" on Pacific Blvd., there is some truisms to the fact that he is seeking to create a new business entity to hopefully garner contractual opportunities from HP officials ......., and considering that Beltran was the "Political Consultant" to the four council member majority, then that possibility could become a reality.

Huntington Park is no stranger to dubious, outside political interests, seeking to control its City Council, with the goal of reaping contractual enrichment. From 2003 to 2013, noted Southeast LA Municipal Attorney Francisco Leal, reaped millions of dollars in legal fees from the municipality before his connections to indicted former LA County Assessor John Noguez, ignited a civic rebellion against his HP City Hall allies.

With Leal out of the picture, HP (along with other Southeast LA municipalities) are being targeted by the latest political cabal, fronted by a political miscreant, who knows no shame in shilling for those, now the subject of federal indictments, viscously attacking the alleged sexual preference of his political opponents ......., and of course, behaving like he has no political skeletons, rattling for all to hear (and read in numerous missives of record).

Thus, while the likes of Assemblywoman Christina Garcia commends the Huntington Park City Council for its courage in appointing "The Undocumented" to city commissions, the blunt reality is that the same person who "outed" her alleged sexual preference, was exploiting the contentious issue of illegal immigration, to mask a blatant money grab of municipal funds (allegedly).

Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Monday

Pardon the bloggin pun, but the current leader of the Los Angeles County Labor Federation, is a bit "Rusty" in closing the deal, that would cease "Free Enterprise" as we know it, in the looming "Detroit on the Pacific".

Current Los Angeles County Labor Federation Leader Rusty Hicks.

Rusty Hicks is not a Closer.

After achieving what should of been a formality in bringing an end to the Ciudad de Los Angeles "War on Poverty (in reality, Free Enterprise)", with his "Brothers and Sisters-supported" Los Angeles City Clowncil Central Committee tenatively voting to support a $15 per hour Minimum Wage, the new leader of the LA County Labor Federation, forgot to insert some "small details" into the final ordinance.

Call it a "rookie mistake" but in his short time as the current leader of the Los Angeles County Labor Federation, Rusty Hicks has almost achieve what predecessors Miguel Contreras, Martin Ludlow and Maria Elena Durazo could not, turning Los Angeles into a "Close Shop Municipality"........, but.
Lets say "duel buts".

First, Hick's City Clowncil Central Committee Ally, General Secretary/Strongman Herman "Mini Amin" Wesson, attempted behind close doors, to insert language that would require affected business to pay for twelve employees "Sick Days", but was withdrawn (for now).

Second, and more egregious, was Hicks attempt to add language that businesses with current labor ties (via a MOU), could offer less than the Minimum Wage (after all, the accumulation of dues is paramount to employee's take home pay).

Those "duel buts" snatched away a collective brother and sister union clap of victory, and replaced it with a slap back of hypocrisy ........., but don't expect the "slap back sting" to last long with this current City Clowncil Central Committee desire to embrace Socialism ........, and its share of future dues.

** We Bring You This Tearful Political Papi/Big Baby O'Huey Reunion.

Former Mayor (Poopy) James Hahn and Numero Uno Booster Londie "Big O" Cuevas.

 

** CD 12 City Councilman (and Lone RINO Republican) Mitch Englander is on the LA County Board of Supervisors Campaign Trail as the photos below illustrate.  

Councilman Mitch, along with former Manhattan Beach Mayor and current LA County Board of Supervisor Candidate Steve Napolitano, were guests on this past Saturday's KRLA 870 AM "Randy Economy Show to discuss their campaigns to replace Supervisors Michael Antonovich and Dan Knabe respectively.

Councilman Mitch/Supervisor Candidate Englander, then made his way to thee LA Power Broker Party of the Weekend, as he and many others help City Hall Power Broker John Ek, celebrate his 50th Birthday at The Perch.

** Blogger's Note: This blogger want to extend his heartfelt appreciation to KRLA 870 AM Saturday Talk Show Host Randy Economy for the opportunity to share in some On-Air Witnessing, regarding the Memorial Service for Mayor Sam Blog Founder Michael Higby. It was fitting end to a long, emotional day that had its genesis in mourning the untimely departure of a local bloggin visionary, yet ended in a positive resolve to continue on with the mission of Mayor Sam, as Michael would have wanted. I would be remised, if I did not share my thanks to the likes of former Councilman Zine, Jasmyne Cannick, Republican Political Consultant Luis Alvarado, Randy Economy's staff and others, who took time to offer their respective condolences. Former Councilman Zine in particular, who is enjoying life after politics, was most gracious in recently keyboarding his thoughts on Michael and is remaining engage in the local political discourse, as evident with his recent missive at City Watch. Meanwhile, Jasmyne Cannick has become the "bloggin go to person" on all things related to the current dysfunctional state of leadership at LAPD under embattled Chief Charlie Beck. We should also add that Randy's numerous other guests from the surrounding Southeast LA County municipalities, were engaging .........., and good sources for some future "bloggin chisme". More on that later and again, thank you Randy for the opportunity to share in witnessing on a Dear Friend---Scott Johnson.

First, IBEW Strongman Brian "D"Arcy Rizzo" stops cooperating with the agreed-upon review of the books for the DWP-IBEW Joint Safety/Job Training Non Profits, why? Supposedly because someone was taking "too much notes". But you also have seem to forget that promise you made at a LANCC Meeting to audit the CD 14 CLARTS Fund.

2.) A line item expenditure on all recipients of CLARTS Fund allocations for the 2013-2014 Fiscal Year.

Regarding item Number Two of your request, please be advised that this office finds that "unusual circumstances" exist with respect to the request, as that term is defined in California Government Code section 6253(c). "Unusual circumstances” exist because of the need to compile data, to write programming language or a computer program, or to construct a computer report to extract data.

In addition, pursuant to California Government Code 6253.9(b), “the requester shall bear the cost of producing a copy of the record, including the cost to construct a record, and the cost of programming”.

Should you wish our office to proceed with data extraction, please notify this office of your request and the cost of programming will be calculated and communicated to you.

Say Hey! Its Kevin James on the Radio Again Tonight (Saturday)

On the night on what should of been the Grand Premiere of the Randy Economy Radio Show, the Flu Bug has forced Economy to call upon, now City of Los Angeles Board of Public Works President Kevin James, to do fill in work this evening.

 Hey! Mayor Eric Garcetti and his Board of Public Works President Kevin James, express their approval of Kevin's fill-in role this evening on KRLA 870 AM from 8-9 PM.

** Blogger's Note: A bloggin morning of mixed emotions as we are sadden that the must anticipated debut of the Saturday Evening Randy Economy Radio Show on KRLA 870 AM, has been delayed a week due to the Investigated Reporter being stricken with the Flu. But as we wish Randy a speedy recovery, a former night time KRLA regular will fill in for the upstart radio host this evening. Kevin James, who talked his way into a Mayoral Run for Office and parleyed his endorsement of Mayor Eric Garcetti, into an appointment as the paid President of the Board of Public Works, has graciously accepted Economy's request to replace him behind the microphone tonight. The last time James was on radio (KFI), many were reminded of the old days of 870 AM KIEV, where paid-for infomercials dedicated to self-promotion, were the norm. Being that James gets a fleeting hour of broadcast time this evening, expect to hear a rehash of City Hall-related banter from a now supposed, insider perspective. But if James wishes to defy the bloggin cynics, maybe he will have some uninhibitive thoughts on the below photos of a certain truck with Nury Martinez signs attached to its frame?  

Bureau of Sanitation Truck with CD 6 Clowncilwoman Nury Martinez Signs.

We wish a speedy recovery to the award-winning Investigative Reporter and now Talk Radio Host Randy Economy.
