Its good to be a Spring Street RINO!!

As we enter the month leading up to California's June Primary Elections, the lone token non-Democratic Member of the Los Angeles City Clowncil Central Committee Mitch Englander, is reaping the Special Interests Largess of his 200 Spring Street dealings as Developers, Big Billboard ........, and "Boss D'Arcy Rizzo's" IBEW donate to an Independent Expenditure Committee, benefiting the "Councilmember/Police Officer Fifelander Campaign" for the LA County Board of Supervisor Seat being vacated by termed-out Supervisor Mike Antonovich. 

In the latest tally of Campaign Contributions, the "Fifelander for Supervisor Campaign" showcased the benefits of being connect by blood, to the Englander, Knabe & Allen Consulting/Lobbyist Machine, as it reported $1.2 Million Dollars in contributions. 

But more telling are the monetary/future and past favors payments to an IE Committee, benefiting the current CD 12 Clowncil Central Committee Officeholder, as the LA Times notes.

The largest contributors to the committee set up to support Eng Fifelander came from International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 11 and from fitness studio owner Janet Crown, who both gave $50,000.

........., a fact DWP ratepayers/City of Los Angeles-residing voters in the campaign to replace Supervisor Antonovich, should take notice of before casting their ballots.

LA County District Four Board of Supervisor Candidate Steve Nopalitano.

The issue of questionable ballot designations is not only endemic to the LA County District Five Board of Supervisor Campaign.

Out-going District Four Supervisor Don Knabe aide/scheduler/deputy/and his endorsed choice to replace him Steve Nopalitano, was a recipient of a legal request by the Dr. Ralph Pacheco Campaign, to have his Ballot Designation reflect his actual "Deputy Duties".

Pacheco is asking that (Judge) O'Donnell order Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean Logan to reject Napolitano’s paperwork and order Napolitano’s title on the ballot be changed to reflect the true scope of his duties as a field deputy in Knabe’s Torrance office, one of several offices the supervisor maintains throughout the district.  Although named as a defendant Logan will not render opposition in court.

......, in the spirit of compromise, we offer the following; "The smarter Candidate than Challenger Challenger Janice Babs Hahn" (but then that would be true of most of "Bab's past/current/and future challengers).
