LOS ANGELES CITY COUNCIL STAFFER ALSO SITS ON NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL -- AND CITY HALL SEEMS TO THINK THIS IS FINE!

CAROL BARKER THARP OF DONE (Department of Neighborhood Empowement) PLEASE CALL LOS ANGELES MAYOR ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA AND WORK THIS OUT. I DON'T THINK IT LOOKS TOO GOOD...(Developer and Real Estate Agent Names To Follow)

I attended a DONE meeting where Carol Baker Tharp told the crowd regarding "reform eductation programs" and outreach: We don't believe YOU (local NCs) should be doing that yourself. We (DONE) want to assist you in outreach.

BOY I'LL SAY!!! CITY COUNCIL IS ALWAYS SAYING THEY WANT TO HELP WITH OUTREACH -- BUT WE DIDN'T WITH YOUR OWN STAFFERS YOU BIG DUMMIES. (Obvious she is stepping down immediatley. RIGHT MAYOR AND CAROL?)

* Jessica Wethington Mclean: Worked for Universal while she was an Eagle Rock NC member. She quit Universal to work for CD 14 CM Jose Huizar as his Eagle Rock Deputy of Planning this past October.

She is ALSO on Eagle Rock NC: Communications and Govt Relations memeber as well as a regular NC member.

I guess it is only unethical, but not illegal for CMs to have their paid staff members sit on NC. MAYOR ANTONIO, I'LL GIVE YOU THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT AND SAY THAT YOU ARE PROBABLY NOT AWARE THIS IS HAPPENING, BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT SITTING THERE MICRO-MANAGING NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCILS -- BUT I WILL BE SURE YOU AND YOUR STAFF IS AWARE THIS IS AND CAN HAPPEN. I'M SURE YOU ARE NOT IN FAVOR OF HAVING PAID COUNCIL STAFFERS ALSO SIT ON NC. Real Estate Agents and Developers are sitting in, as well. More on that next.

* Someone just posted that Fifteen's Steve Fink (See Wyvenwood Apts & Huizar contributions and expense reports) SON, Elliott Fink is on Boyle Heights Neighborhood Council? This cannot be true, because it is so obviously corrupt, I don't know how they think it ain't gonna come back to bite 'em in the ass. And I PROMISE YOU...ZAP (Zuma's Action Program) will be ZAPPING yo azz over this. And remember...I got NOTHING to lose...what do y'all have at stake, except Federal inquiries and named as "Defendant" on a Federal Trafficking/Rico/Corrupt organization lawsuit? NOW GO HAVE A FUN NC MEETING!

HAS MAYOR ANTONIO LOSEROSA AND CD 14 CM JOSE WEEZELAR INFILTRATE EAGLE ROCK, MT. WASHINGTON, ARROYO-SECO & GLASSELL PARK NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCILS (AND VARIOUS OTHER NCs & HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION IN L.A.) WITH TREASONOUS, DEVELOPER MOLES. (This way, they can steamroll the development projects through without NC opposition.)

HEY FOUR TIME FLUNKEE OF THE PEOPLE'S COLLEGE OF LAW -- NOW YOU ARE ON THE PEOPLE'S TURF...AND ZUMA DOGG IS GONNA FOCUS ALL EFFORTS ON GIVING YOU THE "JACK WEISS TREATMENT, bro! WE ARE GONNA KICK YOUR ASS BACK INTO THE PRIVATE SECTOR -- AND CLINTON AIN'T GONNA TOUCH YOU, LATHAM AND WATKINS AIN'T GONNA TOUCH YOU, AND THE VOTERS AIN'T GONNA TOUCH YOU. (The FEDS...They might touch you.)

AND SINCE YOU WANNA GO STATEWIDE AND NATIONAL, ******, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO, AS WELL. BECAUSE MY SOLE PURPOSE, FROM HERE ON IN, IS TO MAKE SURE YOU AND YOUR LITTLE PAL WEEZEL ARE NEVER -- EVER -- EVER IN A POSITION WHERE YOU ARE REPRESENTING PUBLIC SAFETY AND PUBLIC FUNDS.

AND NOW THAT YOU STEPPED INTO THE PUEBLO'S TURF...I AM GOING TO HAVE TO SHOW THE COUNTRY WHY!

COALITION OF 72 GROUPS WANTS TO KEEP SOUTHWEST MUSEUM IN NORTHEAST AREA -- BUT WE LACK GREAT LEADERS

The Southwest Museum was the first museum in the City of Los Angeles.

It opened August 1, 1914. This museum was the dream of Charles Lummis its founder; with a spectacular view of the San Gabriel Mountains, The Arroyo Seco, downtown Los Angeles, on clear days, Catalina Island.

The Southwest Museum houses a magnificent collection of Native American Indian Art, artifacts, anthropological items and Mexican culture. The collection has a value of ONE BILLION DOLLARS.

In late 1987 the first attempt to relocate the Southwest Museum was initiated by the museum's Board of Trustees. In 1990 and 1993 the same Board of Trustees wanted to move the museum out of the Northeast area.

In 1987 Councilman Richard Alatorre spoke in favor of keeping the Southwest Museum in the Northeast Area. Senator Art Torres, Councilwoman Gloria Molina, Assemblyman Richard Polanco, John B. Slughter President of Occidental College and twenty two organizations opposed the decision of The Board of Trustees to seek a new home for
the Southwest Museum.

In 1990 Mayor Richard J. Riordian said: "We are committed to preserving the Southwest Museum as an important part of the Northeast area", "I am appointing a Blue Ribbon Committee, as part of our commitment to preserve the Southwest Museum". "This Special Blue Ribbon panel will be charge with providing a comprehensive game plan, in coordination with the Museum's Board, to enable the Museum to expand its current location, raise the necessary capital funds, maximize its marketing potential, improve its outreach in the community and identify appropriate locations for satellite annexes". "The City is also prepared to actively lobby in support of three proposed bond measures in the State Legislature". He also mentioned plans of MTA to build a Southwest Museum station". The City view the retention of the Southwest Museum as crucial to the overall economic recovery of the Northeast Community."

Now again, we are faced with the reality of the Southwest Museum leaving the Northeast community to be absorbed by the Autry Museum. This time we have a coalition formed by 72 groups and 7,000 signatures in favor of keeping the Southwest Museum in the Northeast area, but we lack GREAT LEADERS.

In 1987, 1990 and 1993 we had GREAT LEADERS that spoke up and truly defended the history and assets of this community. Where are the leaders of today? Are they too preoccupied with their personal agendas? Are they worried about who is going to finance their political careers? Have they forgotten their oath to serve the people
including minorities? When they took that oath, they took the RESPONSIBILITY OF SAFEGARDING the assets of the community that elected them.
