Ass Clown for the month of May

Exploitation of children for political gain and self interest.

This winner of the Ass Clown Award and his cohorts three years ago devise a scheme to take over a political body by creating a new pool of voters who were not old enough to drive, fight for their country, but used to achieve a margin of victory so that a big corporate interest and political allies could change the face of their community.

One community activist who witness this event saw students walk in to the polling place with a sheet of paper with names of candidates, then later learned that students who voted according to the list were given school credit by a school official who happen to be one of the candidates on the list.

Records show that out of some 600 votes cast in this Neighborhood Council Election close to 300 hundred were cast by students who had no idea how their vote would be use to affect the community.

Thus for the month of May we present the Ass Clown Award to David Galaviz and his allies on the Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Council.

One must give credit to Zuma Dogg for exposing this scheme and the later abuses by the Galaviz led body. But now after his three year reign as President, word from Lincoln Heights is that Galaviz is being promote by USC to a lobbyist position thus will not run for re-election.

Leave it to the "four year community college on Fig." to award someone who brought ridicule to the Neighborhood Council system, and who in concert with Councilman Ed "Density in all communities" Reyes, and the Lincoln Heights Chamber of Commerce, create policy and projects that cause the community to rise up and organize to reclaim thier community as seen with the "Las Villas Controversy".

With Galaviz moving on, Jackie Goldberg crony Elena Popp is running for President on a slate with the likes of Erika Gallo, Frank Wada, Vera Padilla, "Vons Riley", Ernest Sanchez, Carolina Castillo and new to the team, former disgraced LAUSD candidate and convicted criminal Chris Arellano.

45th District Democratic Central Committee Results

One will ask why the fuss over such an obscure elective body?

A few months back we broached the question whether the "Bill Clinton of the Northeast", as in Northeast LA, William "Bill" Rumble, would benefit from his support for the "Southwest Society of Traitors", better known as the Southwest Society of the Southwest Museum.

As the President of the "Northeast Democratic Club" and the husband of long time "People's Enclave of Mt. Washington" activist and "Woman of the Year" Carol Jacques, one could think that his election to the Central Committee would be a formality, especially if one is a sitting member.

Refer to these results, remind you that the first seven get elected.

**Chris Arellano 4,531 **DUBIOUS PAST**
**Erika Gallo 3,757
**Cecilia Cebello 3,690
**Roberto Negrete 3,629
**Benita Duran 3,270
**Paul Neuman 3,020
**Carlos Jude Leon 2,776
Robert Nakahiro 2,748
Renee Nahum 2,436
Sam Dixon 2,338
William "Bill" Rumble 2,028
Scott Rufsvold 2,013
Bill Kysella 1,736

Geez Bill, I guess Eliot can come up with the spin to explain this loss.

Just maybe the population of the 45th love having a museum, with all its artifacts based in the 45th District.

Meanwhile here is some background on Chris Arellano...

On election night, Arellano emerged from days of media seclusion,
showing up at a campaign party in Lincoln Heights that was attended by UTLA
stalwarts, as well as lawyer and peace activist Art Goldberg — brother of
Jackie, the state assemblywoman — and renters’-rights advocate Elena Popp, who
is running to replace Goldberg in the state Legislature. While a DJ played
reggae versions of Cher’s “Believe” and R. Kelly’s “I Believe I Can Fly,”
Arellano spoke in halting terms about his past, saying he is sorry about
misleading voters about his academic record at USC and admitting that he put
Duffy in a “tough situation.”

Still, Arellano said he thought he could overcome a gap of nearly 30
percentage points, by talking about the less flattering aspects of his life.“I’m
perfectly willing to sit down with the public and say, ‘Hey, I made dumb
decisions, but look what I’m doing now with my life,’ ” Arellano said. “Look how
I’ve changed my life around. It’s important for our youth to know that yes, you
make mistakes, but you can always do better.”
