MON 9PM: New L.A. City News RADIO Now Posted: L.A. Council Meeting Preview for 10.26.10

Go to http://LACityNews.com for a new radio show for Monday Night, previewing Tuesday, October 26, 2010 L.A. City Council Meeting.

ZUMA DOGG ISSUES CHALLENGE TO TRUTANICH: HEY NUCH...if you are really TRU, and want to HEAR the TRUth, why not sit down with Zuma Dogg in front of the reporters, Mr. Smart Guy, and allow me to respond to each of your non-sense, non-parallel analogies.LET'S FACE IT...you TOLD me how BLOWN AWAY you were by my mind when you promised that you would give me a job. And I just beat you and all of your attorney's in FEDERAL COURT on your VERY IMPORTANT Venice non-law that it took City Hall YEARS to create, and one day in Federal Court for DOWD/DOGG to bitch slap off the beach and back down your throats -- as you now contemplate the least expensive of of two very un-cheap options.  SO WHY DO YOU THINK IT'S A JOKE THAT I WOULD CONSIDER MYSELF WORTHY OF CLARIFYING YOUR SAME ARROGANT AND IGNORANT BULLSHIT ON THE MARIJUANA ISSUE. (You are easy to beat, cause you argue on un-TRU premises, TRU. Have your people call my people if you think you can rise to the level of ZD. HE doesn't think you can. But YOU probably think you can. (That's what you thought about FEDERAL COURT. The "law of the land" as you said on the radio, Monday morning. Guess it took Dowd/Dogg to explain it to you. AND EXPENSIVE LESSON AT THE CITY TREASURY'S EXPENSE, THAT YOU VOWED TO PROTECT. )

CARMEN TRUTANICH: Los Angeles HAS A PROBLEM TO DEAL WITH: You are an angry, hostile, arrogant, hot-headed CONFUSED ASSHOLE!

Heard Carmen Trutanich on the radio today. This hot-head clown needs some anger management classes. He is an angry, angry, hostile, combative, short-tempered, but mostly CONFUSED ASSHOLE.

Hey DOUCHTANICH: I thought you were against Marijuana because there were TOO MANY COLLECTIVES that popped up in the city. NOW, it's because it's more dangerous than alcohol and a  list of a whole BUNCH of reasons other than the NUMBER OF COLLECTIVES -- WHICH I THOUGHT WAS THE ISSUE?

CARMEN TRUTANICH: Stop humiliating yourself in the media. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING SCREWING AROUND WITH SOME DUMB, WORTHLESS MARIJUANA DRIVING EXPERIMENT WITH A MEDIA REPORTERS?

MEANWHILE, WHILE YOU WERE SPENDING SO MUCH TIME DOING THAT -- AND TRYING TO MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF PETER TILEDEN'S DRIVING HABITS UNDER MARIJUANA:

I JUST KNOCKED YOUR FUCKING ASS OUT IN FEDERAL COURT: YOU HAD YOU EYE OFF THE BALL, AND I CLOWNED YOU, CHUMP!

CARMEN TRUTANICH: Better take you head out of Steve Cooley's ASS and worry a little more about the fact you just cost the city MILLIONS by LOSING TO ZUMA DOGG IN FEDERAL COURT:

STOP WITH YOUR MEDIA NON-SENSE AND GET BACK TO WORK ASSHOLE. (YES, I MEAN, YOU CARMEN TRUTANICH, YOU HOSTILE A-HOLE.) HEY NUCH...if you are really TRU, and want to HEAR the TRUth, why not sit down with Zuma Dogg in front of the reporters, Mr. Smart Guy, and allow me to respond to each of your non-sense, non-parallel analogies.LET'S FACE IT...you TOLD me how BLOWN AWAY you were by my mind when you promised that you would give me a job. And I just beat you and all of your attorney's in FEDERAL COURT on your VERY IMPORTANT Venice non-law that it took City Hall YEARS for DOWD/DOGG to bitch slap off the beach and back down your throats as you now contemplate the least expensive of of two very un-cheap options.  SO WHY DO YOU THINK IT'S A JOKE THAT I WOULD CONSIDER MYSELF WORTHY OF CLARIFYING YOUR SAME ARROGANT AND IGNORANT BULLSHIT ON THE MARIJUANA ISSUE.

NOTICE TO L.A. CITY ATTORNEY CARMEN TRUTANICH & COUNCILMAN DENNIS ZINE: Regarding Alleged State and FEDERAL Violations During L.A. City Council Meetings (First Amendment FEDERAL LIVE Lawsuit Over This Matter.)

DENNIS, DENNIS, DENNIS...

When are you going to learn...I am smarter than you, more respected and know for being smarter than you, and I am better than you. (You think you are a BIG shot...but all you are is big.) I really wonder why you think ANYONE in the city should respect you, anyway, when you look at the crap job you have done as Councilman?

I mean, REALLY, bro? WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? You ain't SH*T, Zine!

You're some dumb, empty-head in the suit, who is on the mayor's jock strap -- you sold out your already empty soul to be the City Hall "anointed one" for controller candidate should Wendy ever become mayor (which you obviously think she will) -- BUT FOR SOME REASON YOU THINK IT WAS WRITTEN IN THE CONSTITUTION OR BROWN ACT THAT ANYONE HAS TO RESPECT YOU?

 I may be crazy, but I'm not THAT crazy. So don't get it twisted, bitch. YOU have EVERYTHING to lose by gettin' in my way when I am speaking. And ROBERTO ALDAPE, RICHARD ALARCON & ERIC GARCETTI ARE, INDEED, OFF THE HOOK NOW -- AS I TURN MY ATTENTION TO THE REAL CULPRIT, HERE:

YOU (Dennis "Uncle Fester The Clown") and L.A. Shitty Attorney CARMEN TRUTANICH.

NUCH: When you were asking for everyone's vote you said you were the PEOPLE'S City Attorney. But as soon as you were sworn in, public comment crackdown got WORSE and Dion got more arrogant and everyone seemed more confident in cutting off speakers (ZD and anyone else).

PREVIOUSLY, WHEN GARCETTI OR ZINE CUT ME OFF...I'D BLAST ALDAPE/LAHD, ALARCON or GARCETTI.

BUT TRUTANICH...YOU HAVE NOT ADVISED YOUR CLIENTS THAT THEY ARE IN THE WRONG WHEN THEY INTERRUPT ME FOR THINGS LIKE SAYING, "Yoo-hoo" and all the other stuff.. 

SO EVERYTIME I AM CUT OFF FOR NO REASON...I WILL MOST LIKELY REMEMBER HOW YOU ARE ENABLING THIS ALL, AND HOW THEY FEEL SAFE & COMFORTABLE UNDER YOUR WATCH.
And maybe I'll start to remind people -- OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER....for weeks and months into a year, maybe years -- that you SAID you were not going to be a "political" city attorney, but Zuma Dogg's public comment will be that it ALL you are. And while you were being Mr. Political, campaigning all over town -- defending your "high-five" -- YOU HAD YOUR EYE OFF THE BALL AND ZUMA DOGG BEAT YOUR OFFICE IN FEDERAL COURT AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO -- OR WHAT YOU TRY -- YOU ARE GONNA BE DIPPIN' INTO THE RESERVE FUND FOR SEVERAL MILLION DOLLARS.

I will remind people, that I contacted Carmen after I walked out of the Federal hearing to tell him what a flimsy, lousy, joke of a job his attorneys did in the court room. Remember I was saying how (until this week's ruling) it was, "the best day of my life."  I warned the city attorney's office they needed to settle "cheap" and get ZD and Dowd out of the gadfly business.

BUT, The City Attorney's Office was arrogant and I will mention on TV, that while the city has NO PROBLEM settling lawsuits amongst their rich and powerful crony developers, the city just couldn't bring itself to settling a CLEARLY LOSING POSITION ON THEIR PART (which now we see it was) -- simply refuses to pay Michael Hunt, Matt Dowd, Zuma Dogg and the others cause were poor, not part of their inner circle, and are too embarrassed (as they SHOULD be) that they LOST to guys like us.

AND NOW, BECAUSE OF THAT...IT WILL COST SEVERAL MILLION DOLLARS: Here's why...

There are twelve plaintiffs on the lawsuit. ZD, Dowd & 10 others. We are each going to be getting our own MOST EXPENSIVE AS POSSIBLE ATTORNEY (which isn't hard to do when you have a FEDERAL COURT ORDERED INJUNCTION RULED, not in NUCH's favor...BUT IN ZUMA DOGG'S FAVOR!

So, 12 expensive attorney's with hourly fees (with this complicated and certain to be LONG, on-going jury trial for damages)...can EASILY rack up to SEVERAL MILLION DOLLARS in NO TIME. And that's not even ZD & the other 11 peoples' damages money...JUST THEIR LAWYERS.  OH YEAH...plus it will cost NUCH's City Attorney office A TON to defend 12 separate damage cases, at once. (Oh well. They didn't want to/don't want to settle.)
IT WILL ALL BE EXPLAINED AND TAGGED ON NUCH ON TUESDAY, CAUSE DENNIS CUT ME OFF FOR NO REASON ON FRIDAY. And I grandfathered in the first pay-back, retroactively.

SO CARMEN TRUTANICH COULD HAVE SPENT THE REST OF HIS TERM WITHOUT ZD SAYING A THING ABOUT HIM. (As you know I talk about Aldape, Garcetti, Alarcon, Council shadiness, etc.) BUT....NOW IT'S GONNA BE, "THE NUCH REPORT" on City TV 35..every Tuesday, Wed and Friday, sometime after 10 am. CAUSE HE IS ALLOWING IT ALL TO HAPPEN!

(A lot of new tweets, blog posts, audio and video from past 24 hours posted at http://LACityNews.com. Click link to refresh page to the top post and you can scroll to catch it all.)

AND REMEMBER ZINE & NUCH...YOU are not a part of U.S. history. I AM! Who's looking down who's nose at whom. I AM U.S. HISTORY, cause you are a HISTORIC LOSER, now. GOT BEAT BY DOWD/DOGG who wrote the damn lawsuit on the back of a Zig-Zag paper, these clowns were so easy to beat. BUT IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THIS EASY, NOW...SHOULD IT HAVE BEEN? (A stable of LOSERS...L.A. SHITTY ATTORNEY OFFICE UNDER TITANICH!)

UPDATE: Nuch supporter reminds me Nuch can advise but council NEVER listens to him. ZD, a reasonable man, will consider. Zine only

        BREAKING NEWS: Zuma Dogg & Entire Planet Granted SOUND AMPLIFICATION Injunction at Venice Beach by FEDERAL JUDGE..Can Now BLAST AMPLIFIED SOUND ANYWHERE ON VENICE BEACH BOARDWALK...HUGE, LOUD RALLY & CONCERT COMING TO THE MOST QUIET PART! (Gonna be an F-ing MESS out there, now...NO PERMITS NEEDED!)

        ["The City of Los Angeles runs the City of Los Angeles. If you don't like it, sue!" - Chump Ass VILLARAIGOOSA Deputy Mayor to Dowd/Dogg in City Hall rotunda. We did. You lost.] 

        Today, a Federal Judge issued a STUNNING defeat to the City of Los Angeles as Zuma Dogg, Matt Dowd and nine other performers from Venice Beach Ocean Front Walk ("Venice Boardwalk") were issued an injunction, preventing the City from enforcing their amplified sound ban restrictions -- and blocking the lottery and permit system.

        In other words, Zuma Dogg and Matt Dowd can set up wherever they want without having to go through no fucking lottery system...we don't need no fucking permits...and we can blast our fucking music and anti-City Council candidate noise -- LOUDER THAN VAN HALEN... TOUGH TITTIE! Hope you like the Bee Gees & AC/DC!

        THIS IS FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE FULLEST!!! THIS IS WHAT THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES WAS TRYING TO PREVENT AT VENICE BEACH!!! TRUE PERFORMERS!!! TOP THIS, BITCH! YA CAN'T!

        MEDIA NOTICE: Venice Beach is not the only place City of Los Angeles needs a FEDERAL LAWSUIT...MASSIVE ALLEGED RICO VIOLATION HAPPENING AT LOS ANGELES HOUSING DEPARTMENT UNDER THE ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER. Here are some recent posts on the matter that detail and expose the conflict of interest allegations (as discussed during the July 21, 2010 Los Angeles City Council meeting.) The posts have ignited the blog and sent it to record levels of readership with a lot of the traffic coming from Google search referrals for the name "Roberto Aldape" (LAHD Asst GM, hired by Mercedes Marquez.) The corruption runs DEEP, and it is alleged that several million dollars are unaccounted for in the LA Housing Department.

        BREAKING NEWS!: FEDERAL JUDGE RULES IN DOWD/DOGG vs CITY of LOS ANGELES @ Venice Beach...THE MUSIC IS BACK...THE LOTTERY IS GONE!!!! CARMEN TRUTANICH City Attornce DEFEATED by Legalease Dream Team of Dowd/Dogg

        [Sorry we had to make losing defendants out of CARMEN TRUTAINCH's L.A. Shitty Attorney Office.]

        But they are LOSERS. BIG LOSERS in Federal Court today, as a FEDERAL JUDGE overturned the ban on amplified sound -- and deemed the bogus lottery, indeed bogus at Venice Beach. The issue that brought Matt Dowd & Zuma Dogg into L.A. City Council chambers on April 4, 2006, four and a half years ago. 

        Any pain or pressure Zuma Dogg has brought L.A. City Hall (Villaraigosa & City Council) is due, 100% ENTIRELY to the Venice Beach ordinance they tried to bamboozle upon Dowd/Dogg, failing to realize the legalese dream team was smarter and better than anyone in Nuch's office. SO THE BAN HAS BEEN OVERTURNED AND THE LOTTERY THROWN OUT. (Oh no...can ZD & Dowd file for damages?) 

        Get ready for "Karaoke with Zuma Dogg" -- ANY TIME..ANY WHERE HE F*CKING WANTS, LINDA "SUCKS" LUCHS! (GONNA SET UP IN FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE!)

        And now, Matt Dowd doesn't have to go to the lottery on Tuesday morning anymore (ZD quit that noise YEARS ago) -- AND THE CITY HAS TO GET TO WORK ON proposing something more suitable to Matt Dowd and Zuma Dogg. NOW SHUT THE F*CK UP AND BACK THE F*CK OFF MY TIP, B*TCH!

        A MAJOR LOSS FOR CARMEN TRUTANICH SINCE MATT DOWD DEFENDED THE CASE AGAINST HIS STABLE OF CLOWNS, HIMSELF. (We didn't need a f*cking attorney against these MORONS!)

        L.A. City News for Thursday, October 7, 2010 - L.A. CITY ATTORNEY OFFICE & COUNCIL PUT ON NOTICE Regarding MASSIVE Conflict of Interest at L.A. HOUSING DEPARMENT "Rent Escrow Program" (Is $2 Million Missing From City's Rent Escrow Account? Insiders Say, "YES!")

        TIMES UP!: No, this isn't a blog post about L.A. Times bankruptcy proceedings. It's about TIME BEING UP FOR L.A. CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE & CITY COUNCIL regarding the matter of conflicts of interest at L.A. Housing Department and REAP outreach contractors. 

        The conflict being, the Assistant GM of Housing Department (in charge of investigating REAP outreach contractors) IS the REAP outreach firm "L.A. Housing Law," contracted by the LOS ANGELES Housing Dept. 

        Moreover, the L.A. Housing Dept Asst GM Robert A., who is also the contact name listed for "L.A. Housing Law" (the REAP outreach contractor hired by Housing Dept.) --  is also an attorney.

        The same address is used for the L.A. Housing Law (REAP outreach firm) as Robert A.'s law office. (Robert being Asst GM of the L.A. Housing Dept.)

        Any conflict in having someone hire himself as an outreach contractor to gather information on properties in L.A., then use the info to sue property owners? No problem! If anyone complains, it's the person pulling off the capers who is in charge of investigating it.
        HERE IS POSTING of the memo from L.A. Housing Dept insiders on MASSIVE conflict of interest with REAP outreach contractor this post is based upon. http://ow.ly/2PRZ9

        MORE (GAR)SHADINESS?: And is $2 million missing from the REAP account? 

        And, in Eric Garcetti's district, is it impossible (98% impossible) for a property owner to get their money refunded back from the REAP (rent escrow) account, AFTER the city approves and promises the return of funds once the work has been completed and signed off on?

        And now Zuma Dogg has returned to chambers over the issue. And the surface has only been scratched. 

        Hopefully, this matter will be addressed by council and the city attorney's office will show up with their homework done, next time. EVEN IF IT MEANS A NON-FLASHING, NON-DIGITAL BILLBOARD HAS TO STAY UP FOR A FEW EXTRA DAYS! (This conflict is gonna cost more than the city can absorb, these days. And you cannot win. And will lose.

        MEMO: Conflict of Interest Allegations at Los Angeles Housing Department (City Council WAITING for City Attorney's LATE Report On This Issue)

        THIS IS THE MEMO CITY HALL DOESN'T WANT YOU TO SEE...even if your typical NC member doesn't care. 
        LETTER FROM (ALLEGEDLY) FRUSTRATED L.A. HOUSING DEPT STAFF ON RENT ESCROW CONFLICT OF INTEREST as addressed by Council, currently awaiting a (delayed) report from the City Attorney's office:

        Dear Sir,

        We are a group of Housing Department employees who are too intimidated to disclose our identities, yet are troubled enough to address some of the recent conflict of interest allegations pertaining to the Rent Escrow Account Program (REAP).

        We would like to thank you for speaking up during the July 21st Council meeting and bringing to light the fact that the Housing Department’s REAP contractors are under a cloud of serious conflict of interest allegations (July 21, 2010 Council Session, Item          #37).

        You were absolutely correct in your observation that some REAP contractors may have abused their roles and turned their LAHD contracts into a revolving business by playing on both sides of the proverbial fence.

        As we understand, during the July 21st session the LAHD and the City Attorney’s Office were tasked with investigating the aforementioned conflict of interest allegations and submitting a report to the City Council on their findings.

        We would like to inform you, however, that as far as REAP is concerned, there exists an appearance of impropriety within the Housing Department itself. As things stand now, the LAHD is not in a position to conduct a fair and impartial investigation, and it should be precluded from investigating its REAP outreach contractors. It is an open secret that some member(s) of the LAHD executive team have a private and personal interest in this matter that may influence the objective exercise of their official duties. This, at the very least, smacks of blatant conflict of interest.

        Specifically, the LAHD Assistant General Manager in charge of overseeing REAP, Roberto H. Aldape, was previously employed by and had a business relationship with one of the outreach contractors in question – the Los Angeles Housing Law Project.

        To place the subject matter in a broader context, Roberto H. Aldape was hired by the LAHD in late 2006, having neither led large organizational units nor having worked in the public sector in his prior employment history. His appointment is yet another of a series of questionable and arbitrary actions that over the years the LAHD has become infamous for. Stated another way, the LAHD hired one of its contractors’ representatives (if not the contractor’s principal agent) and placed him in charge of overseeing the same contractor.

        Mr. Aldape is a fervent adherent of the kiss-up-kick-down school of management, and his foul mouthed, bullying management style demands not merely obedience but also obeisance. He mercilessly and relentlessly goes after all those who dare to contradict him or question his tactics and management style. As time passed, somehow his interim AGM position was eased into a permanent one. Also noteworthy is the fact that nowadays the LAHD has four AGMs, whereas in the past it had only two or three.

        The person directly in charge of REAP, Compliance Division Director Roya Babazadeh, is not about to challenge or express opinions contrary to Mr. Aldape’s. Suffice it to mention that Ms. Babazadeh’s appointment to her current position was not without controversy itself: she was promoted over more qualified and experienced female and minority candidates, and her promotion was in direct violation of class-specific preconditions and requirements.

        Assistant General Manager Roberto H. Aldape’s relationship with one of the REAP outreach contractors, the Los Angeles Housing Law Project, is of such opaqueness that it definitely should raise a red flag. In the past decade or so the Los Angeles Housing Law Project has been awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars in City contracts, yet one may never find out how many side lawsuits this contractor has initiated from information gained through REAP outreach contacts.

        Curiously, in various documents and websites, Mr. Aldape’s law office and the Los Angeles Housing Law Project had been listed under the same address.

        For example, in the City of Los Angeles Compliance List For Equal Benefits Ordinance database, the Law Offices of Roberto H. Aldape and the Los Angeles Housing Law Project share the same address: 1125 West 6th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90017 (EXHIBIT 1 and EXHIBIT 2).

        In addition, various websites also convey the same information: the Law Offices of Roberto H. Aldape and the Los Angeles Housing Law Project had the same address and conducted their business from the same physical location (EXHIBIT 3 and EXHIBIT 4).

        Mr. Aldape’s relationship with the Los Angeles Housing Law Project is a murky one at best and raises numerous ethical questions: What exactly was his relationship with the Los Angeles Housing Law Project that he was allowed to operate his own law practice from the same address?

        Were the Law Offices of Roberto H. Aldape and the Los Angeles Housing Law Project actually the same entity and different in name only?

        Did the Law Offices of Roberto H. Aldape at one point in time morph into the Los Angeles Housing Law Project, or was it the other way around?

        Were these two business names used interchangeably, depending on convenience and expediency?

        Did Mr. Aldape conduct a separate law practice while simultaneously working with the Los Angeles Housing Law Project? If so, how many of his private practice cases originated from the Los Angeles Housing Law Project?

        Another potential red flag arises from the fact that the name of the Los Angeles Housing Law Project cannot be found in the California Attorney General’s database listing of nonprofit organizations. Interestingly enough, among the five REAP outreach contractors, the Los Angeles Housing Law Project is the only one that is not listed in this database.

        All nonprofit groups are under strict registration and annual reporting requirements, and as a nonprofit corporation, the Los Angeles Housing Law Project cannot be exempted from such rules.

        It remains to be seen whether this is an omission by the California Attorney General’s Office or the Los Angeles Housing Law Project. If a nonprofit corporation fails to register, the nonprofit is in violation of the California Nonprofit Integrity Act.

        A failure to register would also violate the City of Los Angeles contract provisions, where a “good standing with any regulatory agencies” is one of the requirements.

        It is unquestionable that, at the very least, Mr. Aldape has had a pivotal business relationship with the Los Angeles Housing Law Project.

        The idea that somehow he could be impartial enough to oversee an objective and fair investigation of the Los Angeles Housing Law Project is laughable, if not outright illegal. Should Mr. Aldape nominally recuse himself from this investigation, it would be equally questionable to assume that any of his subordinates would be brave enough to come up with evidence potentially incriminating the Los Angeles Housing Law Project.

        Needless to say, those brave and ethical enough to do so would incur Mr. Aldape’s full wrath and fury, while having no place to hide.

        After the expiration of the current REAP contracts, a new RFP will go out inviting submission of proposals for outreach services. The Los Angeles Housing Law Project will undoubtedly be one of the bidding contractors. Again, it would strain credulity to assume that anyone inside the LAHD could be in a position to objectively evaluate the proposals and act contrary to Mr. Aldape’s interests.

        The Law Offices of Roberto H. Aldape/Los Angeles Housing Law Project arrangement has been a winning one for Roberto H. Aldape. He has managed to parley this curious business deal into a high-paying government job, thus completing the circle fully and gaming the system in its entirety.

        The losers in all these, however, have been the taxpayers of Los Angeles and the employees of the LAHD. The former have been kept in the dark and are clueless about the machinations taking place inside LAHD; the latter, while mostly aware of these shenanigans, are too cowed and helpless to do anything about them.

        The overwhelming majority of the LAHD employees conduct themselves in an ethical manner day after day, yet over the years this department has been marred by allegations of impropriety and conflict.

        And almost without exception, high ranking members of the LAHD have been the source of these transgressions. Time and again, the LAHD has proven that it is not capable of self-policing, and that its internal control mechanisms do not work.

        An investigation of the Rent Escrow Account Program is long overdue. The program desperately needs bright sunlight to be shone on its numerous dark corners. We hope the City Council will take the lead on this matter.

        [Will try to post the PDF attachment of Exhibits 1-4, documenting how Mr. "Two Hats" has been using both addresses as referenced above. But you can clearly see both addresses being used in the Exhibits.]
