Monday's HOT Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine

The Democrat National Committee can FINALLY have a Congressional Special Election Victory Celebration, a week from today, as either Assemblyman Jimmy Gomez or Robert Lee Ahn will become an obscure Rookie Congressman replacing, NOW California Attorney General Xavier Becerra.  

 Assemblyman Jimmy Gomez 

Robert Lee Ahn

** Blogger's Notes: Happy start of Bloggin Summer 2017 as a certain "California 51rd Assembly District Officeholder (via Riverside, now Eagle Rock)" preps for a LIKELY, long "Washington D.C. Vacation" by becoming the Congressional Replacement for, NOW Attorney General Xavier Becerra.

Unless Runoff Challenger Attorney Robert Lee Ahn can make inroads into the East Bank of the LA River Voter Base of Assemblyman Gomez (and its actively attempting to do just that), many of the supposed "Progressive Endorsees" of the "Runoff Gomez Campaign" .........., will become potential candidates in a looming 51rd AD Special Election. 

If Gomez is successful next Tuesday, the hot Political Chisme has him supporting former CD-1 City Councilman Ed Reyes as his replacement, but not without a challenger (or more likely challengers), with East Area Progressive Democrats Co-founder (and previously unsuccessful 51rd AD Candidate) Luis Lopez, declaring his intentions (again) to seek a potentially vacated Assembly Seat, pending next Tuesday's results.

A certain CD-14 City Councilman engaging in "Death Blame Game Politics".

** Political Peace between CD-1 City Councilman Gil Cedillo and CD-14 City Councilman Jose Huizar? NAUGHT!! Considering last week's City Council Vote to support terminating all funding for any variant of a completed 710 Freeway.

With the City Council voting 10-1 to support Councilman Huizar's Motion to terminate funding for completing the North/South Freeway, attention was focus on the LONE dissenting vote, as cast by Councilman Cedillo

From Eastsider LA ........., 

The tunnel will leave intact every house, every tree, every street that was meant to be protected. The tunnel is the alternative that does protect these communities …. We should move away from the kind of hysteria that gets engendered by this discussion and move into a dispassionate discussion about the benefits of a tunnel and how it accomplishes the goals of all of those communities impacted

Cedillo was in the definate minority (with the City of Alhambra) regarding his unpopular stance on the, NOW defunct 710 Tunnel Proposal ........., and his opposition did nothing to help foster PEACE with his Princeton Graduate Colleague.

It should be noted that during the recent CD-1 City Council Campaign, the notorious, GRUDGE-holding CD-14 Officeholder, was SILENCE, while the majority of his City Council Colleagues condemned the Controversial Cyber Comments of unsuccessful CD-1 City Council Candidate Joe Bray-Ali.

Huizar's SILENCE on the Joe Bray-Ali Controversy, was contrary to his irresponsible actions (along with Bray-Ali) in the immediate aftermath of the tragic death of a Los Angeles International Charter High School Student 

The Mayor Sam Blog had been made aware of specualtion that a POLITICAL PEACE TREATY was being brokered between the bordering Officeholders, but in the aftermath of the IMPLOSION via the Huizar-supported Bray-Ali Campaign and with the DEFIANT stance taken by Councilman Cedillo on the 710 Tunnel ........., the GRUDGE MATCH goes on----Scott Johnson.
